About

Hello and Welcome! We are a documentary style wedding photgraphy business started by a brother (Chris) and sister (Sophie). (Two Kin get it? Its cheesy but we like it because we're also kind of cheesy.)

We love stories. Everyone's stories. All strories. Real ones. Stories that inspire and stories that mean something. Stories that allow you to experience something bigger than yourself. These stories don't have a formula or rules. They can't be forced or posed. They often tell themselves if we allow them to. We believe our role as your photographer is to enter your story and to tell it in an honest way. And in a way that allows you to relive your day over and over again. We have over ten years of experience telling incredible stories. We have learned so much in that time that allows us the freedom to be ourselves and not miss a moment of your amazing day!

On your day, Sophie and I are basically photojournalists. We shoot candid photos. We throw ourselves into your story without getting in the way or being a distraction. We look for all of the little details that make your day unique and we try to capture the moments that matter to you. We believe the most honest photos we can get are the ones that you are unaware of. We are with you all day. From getting ready to your getaway that night. We have no time limits or restrictions. We have no set number of photos we take. At some point in the day, we love having time with just the two of you. Either during your first look (which we are big fans of) or after the ceremony to capture a few moments with no distractions or anyone else around. We especially love spending time together during a sunset. Golden hour is magic. These photos often create themselves as we give you space to just be together, usually for the first time all day!

I (Chris) run the business and Sophie is the second shooter (if requested). I have been a stay at home Dad for the last 6 years. Because of this, I have greatly limited the amount of weddings I document. However, i am now back to doing this work full time and I am pumped! This also means that I do have a decent amount of availablity for the rest of 2023 and 2024.

I'd love to talk to you more about Sophie are I being a part of your story!

Amazing experience with Two Kin!

Two Kin photography was amazing. We met them beforehand for an engagement shoot and they were so easy to open up with, they made us feel totally comfortable. They were so accommodating on the wedding day and the photos turned out beautiful!! For the cost, I’d pick them every time!

Great photo and great people!

Two Kin Photography genuinely outdid themselves throughout our experiences with them. We couldn't have asked for a better photography team. Not only were Chris and Sophie incredibly heartfelt and genuine, but they crafted amazing pictures that we truly love. Cannot recommend them enough!

Outstanding!

I’ll start with, my wedding photos were OUTSTANDING! Every step of the way I felt we were important and special. Chris was very well organized and took the time to understand our style during the pre-meetings. Actually, the style of the photos is one of things I loved the most - for my wedding, based on our personality, venue, and wedding party styling, he discussed a photo journalistic approach and WOW was he right!! It was tue visual narrative of our wedding day. All of the promised timelines were kept and I truly believe that the value of our photography package exceeded our expectations!!! I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that we had 24 people in our wedding party…yes 24! Chris was able to effectively direct the whole party, which was a tall order for our group of friends, with kindness and humor. I highly recommend Two Kin Photography!!

Exceptional Team

Chris & Sophie were an exceptional choice for our wedding photography. We desired a collection of photos that were timeless and reflected who we are and how the day felt, and that’s exactly what we received. In addition to that, we had photographers that were laid back, professional, fun, flexible, kind, timely, creative, and so much more. I cannot recommend Two Kin enough.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
