About

I’m a Documentary Wedding Photographer shooting weddings in the Hudson Valley, New York City, Miami Beach, Austin and Puerto Rico—maybe a few other places too, so just ask!

I adore intimate, chic weddings and fun creative couples.

I also Love…

To Cook, Punk Rock, Horror Movies, Sipping Wine, My two Cats Genevieve and (Ansel RIP), My very patient Fiance, Barry (whom I shoot with), Gary at Adorama Camera, Dining out, Things in groups of 3, Ghost Hunters and Ghost Stories, The Container Store, My Leica compact camera, Kitchen Gadgets.

I obsess about weddings 24 hours a day. Wedding Shows, Magazines, Blogs, I’ll take it all! As much as I love photography, I hate having my picture taken (So I get it when you're a bit nervous in front of my lens). I’ve been an Active Member of the Wedding Photojournalists Association since 2005.

Some of my work has been seen in the New York Times, Lela New York Blog, Bride Chic, How He Asked, Wedding Wire Blog, Wall Street Journal, New York Magazine Weddings Editions and TLC's TV show, "Say Yes to the Dress".... and most importantly by the eyes of the couples who we’re lucky enough to shoot for.

Cheers! Kim & Barry

Highly Recommend

We feel incredibly fortunate to have found Kim and had our day captured so perfectly and exactly how we envisioned. From our initial meeting, engagement photos and to the final delivery of the photos, Kim exceeded every expectation we had for a wedding photographer. On the wedding day, Kim and Barry seamlessly blended into the background, yet somehow managed to be everywhere – capturing every significant moment without ever feeling intrusive. Their attention to detail is impeccable, ensuring that no moment went unnoticed. We have so many amazing and candid moments from the day and looking through our photos feels like reliving the day itself. Kim and Barry captured everything so beautifully and we are beyond happy with the photos and will cherish them forever. We could not recommend Kim enough!

Hire Kim & Barry now!

Kim and Barry are an amazing team. Kim was super responsive. They showed up early, stayed late, and were there every step of the way. The photos we got were beautiful and plentiful! Kim and Barry are the best - incredibly kind, professional, and relaxed. We had so much fun hanging out with them during the day and felt totally natural.

I think at one point Barry even helped to move some of our cocktail tables. They are super hands-on and totally ready for anything. We got beautiful shots of us, our friends, and family. It was the best day and we couldn't have asked for better photographers to capture it! Truly truly incredible. Don't hesitate to hire them!

In love with our wedding photos

There are not words to express how grateful I am that we worked with Kim and Barry on our special day. From the moment I spoke with her on the phone, I knew that we clicked. Not only are her photos works of art but her personality is perfect for a stressed bride. They were able to capture our day perfectly and seamlessly blended in.
On the day of, they arrived on-time and ready to shoot and kept us feeling completely comfortable. We both were hesitant about being in front of the camera all day but after our mini session, my husband actually said that he had fun shooting the photos!
I would without any hesitation recommend Kim for your wedding needs, she is absolutely talented, passionate, hardworking and creates memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you Kim!

KIM AND BARRY WERE AMAZING.

I had a large (270 people) traditional Hindu wedding with a less traditional reception. Kim and Barry did such a great job capturing all elements of my wedding and reception. They were unobtrusive, helpful, and fun. Some of my friends let me know that they loved that the photographers were dressed for the occasion, and blended in with all the guests. Kim speaks her mind, which is great, because she has a lot of experience and won't yes you to death.

I've only received a few photos so far (it's only been a week!) but I feel confident recommending Kim to anyone getting married in the area! (Edit: I received all my photos so quickly and they are so wonderful! I actually can't stop going through them.)

Kim is an incredible and extremely talented photographer. Kim and Barry were so easy to work with and took unique and interestingly composed shots. We are thrilled with the results and have also received numerous compliments on the quality of the pictures. We are having trouble narrowing down our favorites as we love so many of them.

Kim is the ultimate professional - she arrived early on our wedding day, kept us on schedule so we were able to get all of the pictures and various family combinations we wanted. At the same time once the wedding started Kim and Barry seamlessly blended in making themselves practically invisible.

We had our full set of pictures within a few weeks of the wedding, it was so great to return from our honeymoon and be able to look through all of the incredible photos they took. I can’t recommend her highly enough!

I must have viewed the websites and portfolios of over 50 photographers, and had long phone conversations with about 6. I chose Kimberly because I absolutely loved her style as displayed by her photos, as well as her down-to-earth, real personality. Her photos were candid and artistic, and had such a natural feel to them that really made them look so personal. I disqualified a lot of photographers because their portfolios either had photos that looked too 'staged' (and corny, in my opinion), or they were a bit too "over the top" that they looked like they were taken for the purpose of being in a magazine (and not for the bride and groom's pleasure!) Kim didn't try to up-sell any of her packages, and provided us with her honest and humble opinions of what she felt we would benefit from with her services. The day-of, her and Barry's pre-ceremony guidance was the right balance of subtle direction, and letting things flow naturally. From the ceremony through the reception - we did not see Kim and Barry! That is how discreet and professional they were! We just got our photos back last week, and we are so beyond happy! She captured moments we didn't even know we had - in such a beautiful and natural way. I have looked through the same photos countless times, and have been having trouble narrowing down our favorites to include in our album. Thank you Kim and Barry!!! Your skills truly helped us embody the beauty and magic of the day!!!!!

Kimberly couldn't have been more amazing for our wedding. We really wanted someone laid back and real, that wasn't too stuffy and fake, and that matched our personality. Kimberly and Barry met this perfectly. She couldn't have been cooler.
We loved her attitude, her honesty, and even her ability to deal with other vendors of ours that were pushy for things that we did not want.

The photographs Kimberly took will help us remember and celebrate our wedding day for years to come. She is absolutely WONDERFUL!

Kim and Barry took photographs at our wedding a few weeks ago. They were wonderful to work with. They were very responsive and professional. They gave us the right amount of direction for our first look and family photos to make sure that we had beautiful shots, but also allowed us to enjoy the moments we had together before our wedding with each other and with our families. Once the ceremony started, they continued to take wonderful photos but I barely even noticed that they were there. A few days after the wedding Kim sent me a link with some of the photos on her blog and I got to relive all of the special memories between me and my husband, and with our friends and family.

The photos are spectacular and Kim is extremely talented. Kim and Barry are quickly and efficiently, making sure that they get all of the shots that the family wants but not taking time away from the ceremony and reception itself! I feel really lucky that they were able to photograph our wedding. I highly recommend this vendor!

Kim and Barry were a dream to work with. They were both incredibly fun and nice and certainly helped make us feel at ease during our wedding. They won't bark orders at the wedding party to get in line to take photos. They aren't in your face all day. They won't harass you or your guests. They take wonderful photos and you barely notice they are there. I cannot compliment them enough. The photos came out amazing and I thoroughly enjoyed working with them. I highly recommend hiring them to photograph your event!

I knew I liked Kim from our first phone call. Kim is direct, smart and creative. But most importantly for me - Kim and Barry are no BS kind of people. I looked a lot of wedding photographers' online portfolios and disqualified most of them because of too many fake, posed or corny photos. Totally not me. The most important thing to me was capturing the moment---the feeling, the warmth, the people, the love. Kim and Barry did just that. Each photo captures movement, a moment, a laugh, a tear, a smile all with the gorgeous backdrop of the farm venue in fall. The photos are drop dead gorgeous. Really.

Kim and Barry were great to work with. I had one mini-crisis about 2 months prior to our wedding having to do with lighting outdoors at night. I shot Kim an email, she called me back in a few minutes, we talked through some options and had a plan of action. My husband and I met with Kim and Barry about a week before our wedding and walked through the timeline, talked through some likes/dislikes and snapped a few test shots. Luckily, all of our 'likes' and 'dislikes' seemed to align with Kim and Barry's :) But even if that weren't the case, Kim and Barry will work with you.

On the day of, Kim and Barry were super relaxed which made us feel super relaxed. My husband and I are no models - we've never been the center of anyone's camera before. But Kim and Barry barely had to give us any direction. They just captured us being us. Which again, is exactly what I wanted.

Choosing which photos to include in our wedding book is going to be tough… but it's a happy challenge :)

We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I've worked with Kim on a number of weddings and she always produces stunning photos. The moments she captures are so interesting and original, and the brides look breathtaking. She has a true gift for letting a couple's personality shine through, maybe because she is so fun to work with herself!
