Kenzie is absolutely amazing. She is so down-to-earth and fun to work with. I am not particularly comfortable in front of cameras, but just working with her on our engagement photos made me absolutely confident that she would be perfect on our wedding day. The day of our wedding, she was punctual and captured some great shots of us getting ready. Her second shooter was just awesome as well. Both of them, teaming up with our videographer had some incredibly creative shot ideas. Her use of lighting made the pictures come out so natural and beautiful. Everyone keeps telling me those photos belong in a bridal magazine!

Her team went way above and beyond, when my videographer had medical issues that required him to leave the reception slightly early. Without missing a beat, both photographers grabbed the video cameras and set them up to capture our toasts, cake cutting, and the rest of the reception. If it weren't for them, I probably would have been in tears on my wedding day. For that, I am forever grateful!!

When we got our photos back, I was so unbelievably thrilled, because she had so perfectly captured our wedding day just as I remembered it. I can't even decide which ones I want to hang on the wall, because so many of the hundreds of photos she gave us are just so incredible.

Such a great photographer!! I would recommend her to anyone for their wedding because I trust she will get you photos you love! She is such a sweet person and will constantly work during your wedding to get the right shots. She makes sure not to interrupt you on your wedding day, but knows just when to pull you aside to get some more photos! I hope to see her again at more weddings I attend, you will definitely be satisfied with her work!

Kenzie photographed my wedding 12/13/15 in Downtown Saint Petersburg, Florida. When I was researching photographers in the Tampabay Area I came across her website and immediately fell in love with her work. I am not exaggerating when I say that I looked through ALL her wedding and engagement sessions on her site. I would even go back and look through the same pictures 2 or 3 times. I would also check periodically for new photos, I was ravenous! That is how much I love her work!
When I began searching for photographers I was nervous because a lot of them are super expensive. My husband and I were really trying to stick to a strict budget. I had a lot of people tell me pictures are really important and you don’t want to cut corners with your photographer. I would say that I got a million dollar photographer for nowhere near that! For the quality of work that she provides, her pricing is phenomenal. Kenzie was very flexible in customizing our package to better suit our needs. I thank her greatly for that. Our pictures turned out great! I had no doubts that they would be anything less than amazing.
Kenzie and her assistant Erica were very cute, well, dressed, and a pleasure to be around all day and night. They were easy to talk to and felt like old friends during our time together. They are serious about their work. Moving furniture around and trying to get the best light and angles. They do not play around! I would definitely hire Kenzie in a heartbeat if I were ever in need of a photographer again.

Are you interested?

Kenzie and her team were absolutely amazing. Throughout the planning process, Kenzie was easy to communicate with and she always responded promptly to emails. On the day of, Kenzie and Sean were there on time and displayed the utmost professionalism. Their laid back style and clear directions, put us photo novices at ease on our wedding day. The pictures were incredibly stunning and captured the essence of our ceremony and reception. The team was a pleasure to work with and I would absolutely recommend them!

I can not say enough amazing things about Kenzie! We are a lesbian couple and she made us feel comfortable and relaxed! I completely messed up our scheduled date and we arrived 24 hours earlier than our appointment. When I called Kenzie she dropped what she was doing and made it to our shoot in 10 minutes!! So really there should be a 10 star option for flexibility. All of our pictures are stunning and she beautifully captured our personalities. I would absolutely use her again and recommend her to anyone!

Kenzie is one of the sweetest people I met and worked with to make my wedding day perfect! Kenzie and Sean were fabulous and such a breeze to work with. We had our engagement pictures done back in March and Kenzie did such a great job and I can't wait to get the final pictures of my fabulous day! I can't wait to use Kenzie for my next event!

We couldn't be happier with our decision to work with Kenzie for our engagement photos! Her ability to capture the beauty of us within our surroundings so effortlessly was truly inspiring. Kenzie made us feel completely comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire shoot. And of course, we can't say enough about how wonderful our pictures turned out! The only downside is having to make the tough decision of which picture to use for our Save the Dates! Thank you so much Kenzie!

Our wedding photos were so beautiful and perfectly captured our day! The planning process was a breeze due to Kenzie's organization and planning survey. Communication was superb throughout the process. On the day of the wedding, Kenzie was on time, professional, efficient, and super friendly. She was such a joy to work with! She should be your number one choice!

Not only is Kenzie a truly talented photographer - she's an amazing person!!! I LOVED working with her at my wedding! The images she took were absolutely stunning… a dream come true for this very picky bride. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer, especially brides! My husband and I plan on booking her again for our 1 year anniversary and we can't wait! AMAZING. :-)

Working with Kenzie was a dream! She made everything so easy and was so fun and creative! We had a wonderful engagement session and 1 year later she helped us capture the best moments on our big day! She got so many amazing shots, both posed and candids! The photos came out gorgeous and she got so many!! I would recommend her to any bride as she was affordable, fun to work with, and produced hundreds of high quality gorgeous photos!

Kenzie was amazing! We had some hiccups with our wedding that altered the schedule/plan a bit. Kenzie was so professional and laid back through the entire day. Her photos were amazing and really captured the day! I am so thankful we had her to do the photography!

Working with Kenzie was a pleasure. She has great vision and really listens to what her clients want. Our photos turned out beautifully and she was a calming presence on an otherwise hectic and busy day. We are so grateful for all the great images she captured because we were so busy during the wedding we missed so many great little things that happened while we were playing host. I'm so glad she caught them for us.

I would recommend Kenzie Shores to anyone planning a special event or needing family photos. She is sweet and talented. Our photos came out better than we could have imagined.

Kenzie was great, she was super laid back and friendly with all most bridesmaids and family. When I was looking for a photographer, I didn't want one that only had a bunch of stuffy-looking pictures, as I'm young and lack stuffiness, and she was perfect. The value was great and we've gotten a ton of compliments on our pictures, both engagement and wedding.

Working with John and Kenzie Shores for my wedding was an absolute pleasure! Their photos are amazing and they will often go out of their way to make sure that you are getting the shots you want. Extremely responsive, very flexible, they will go above and beyond! We particularly enjoyed how much time they dedicated to our engagement pictures and on our wedding day. You will not be disappointed!

If it was possible to give 10.0 out of 5.0, I would! Working with Kenzie and John was AMAZING.

I think that finding a wedding photographer who is cool, calm, and collected is essential. Wedding days can be so hectic, and if the photographer is running around like a crazy person, that does not help the situation! Kenzie and John were the epitome of relaxed and professional! They made me and my entire wedding party feel at ease. They are so fun, friendly, and nice, too!

The pictures (both engagement and wedding) turned out great. I really could not ask for more. When I first started the wedding planning process, I knew that finding an extraordinary photographer was essential - after all, once the wedding is over, the pictures are all that you have. I could not be more pleased with my choice of Kenzie and John.

They have such a unique approach to capturing the special moments. Choosing Kenzie Shores Photography is an easy choice for any bride!

My husband and I aren't planning on expanding our family any time soon, but I already know that when that time comes, I may be unsure about choosing a name or picking a color to paint the nursery ... but I already know who will be taking the pictures! :)

I wish I could give 10 out 5 stars to John and Kenzie for an AMAZING job with our photography! I truly enjoyed every moment of it and will carry fabulous memories with me always. They captured the detail and emotion of our wedding with such grace and exceeded my expectations by far. The thought and artistry that is put into every photo is bar none.

As a team, they completely compliment each other and they are truly talented!

My wife and I highly recommend John and Kenzie. They're exciting and laid back, they're professional and focused, showing extreme control over the atmosphere and objective. They magnify the comfort you need in order to get the photos you desire. They're work is excellent. While taking photos you think to yourself: "How in the world is this going to look?" and in the end, every picture taken is your favorite because you can't choose just one. The choice of angles, lighting, and location are all part of a uniqueness that is John and Kenzie. We hired photographers and gained 2 friends. Do yourself a favor and choose Kenzie Shores photography.

Kenzie and John are a great team, and very fun to work with. They were very professional, yet they still made it feel like you were with friends and like you've known them forever! They're also very fast - their turnaround time with the pictures was much quicker than expected. AND they also take a ton of photos!

Kenzie Shores Photography is professional, courteous and skilled. I am so glad I booked them for my wedding because they did an amazing job of capturing my special day with beautiful photographs and images that my family, friends and myself can remember for a long time.

Kenzie's work is so amazing. I saw the baby pictures she had done and when I was balling my eyes out at how awesome they were, I knew we had to use them! They are a husband and wife team and they dedicated their whole day to our wedding! Everyday new more amazing pictures are posted on their blog!! We will definitely be using them again for all of our other events!

Of all my vendors, my photography team was the BEST!!!

Kenzie and John are amazingly talented. I have received soooo many comments about the photos and how they "should be in a magazine."

All I can say is WOW. You cannot go wrong with Kenzie Shores Photography.

Kenzie was awesome! She was professional, creative, so sweet and amazing. My wedding and reception photos turned out great. I have gotten so many compliments on all the photos. The photos look like they came out of a magazine. Also a lot of the photos looked so natural and candid. Kenzie was so easy to work with and had such great ideas. My husband and I cannot wait to find another excuse to use her again.

Kenzie and her assistant did a great job with our wedding! Kenzie offered different packages that fit our budget. She also uses a webpage that is designed for each client! This made it so easy to check when to pay and viewing the pictures after the wedding. She had all of our pictures edited within 5 weeks! They are beautiful and exactly what I wanted. If I were to say any issues about the wedding there would only be one thing. After the guests were done eating we couldn’t find the photographers for a short time to move onto the next item on the schedule. That would be my one and only complaint. Honestly, she was fabulous, but maybe we should have discussed when exactly to come back into the ballroom. I would recommend Kenzie Shores for any bride planning her wedding!

Kenzie and her partner were incredible throughout the process. Kenzie also did our engagement shoot and she was so open to going all over downtown St. Pete and even asking and getting shots of us on a blow up boxing ring! She was also very easily accessible throughout the whole wedding process and dealt with a list of crazy shots that I wanted, including sparklers! The only downside is that I think I had her come in a little too early or should have requested another hour. Her time was up and she left before the bouquet/garter toss and our final dance. She was expensive but totally worth it. Kenzie was extremely professional and produced beautiful moments that I will have forever thanks to her. We currently have a huge montage of our wedding photos hanging in our bedroom and I love it! Thanks Kenzie! :)
