“Unobtrusive and uncontrived, we find our way inside the moment without disrupting it”
Elle and Zach, the duo behind Kindred, have spent over 11 years documenting weddings with honesty and heart. As experienced photographers with a signature point of view, their immersive work is transportive, energetic, and showcases real joy in its purest form.
With a background in fine art and photojournalism, their style feels authentic—a mix of street-style spontaneity and editorial sophistication.
In 2025, they were named among the Top 40 Wedding Photographers in the U.S. and the Top 10 in NYC by The Wed. In 2020, they were recognized as one of Rangefinder’s Rising Stars of Wedding Photography. Since then, their work has been featured in Vogue, Martha Stewart Weddings, The New York Times, and BRIDES.

They are truly artists of their craft
The photographs Elle and Zach take are the closest thing to time travel you can experience. Despite the inherent stillness of photography, Zach and Elle manage to capture all the dynamism and emotion of the moment. Their work is only surpassed by the calm enthusiasm and brightness they bring to your event. We could not recommend working with them enough, they are truly artists of their craft.

We see their images as a perfect distillation of what our love looks like
Early in our engagement, a friend came home from a wedding and told my fiancé and me, “I found your photographers.” The first image he showed us was of the bride and groom entwined in a swimming pool, mid-kiss, soaked to the bone in their finery. It was perfect.
The rest of that wedding album spoke volumes. So many shots looked like film stills from a movie we wanted to see.
Elle and Zach capture intimacy that can’t be faked. I would hang their photos of perfect strangers on my wall -- timeless, often transcendent images that look like fine art.
These two make their subjects feel like friends. From our first email exchange to our meeting in Brooklyn for our engagement session, we loved their company. And after sharing our wedding day with Elle and Zach, my husband and I are delighted to call them our friends. You would be lucky to know them even if they couldn’t hold a camera.
Elle and Zach, thank you for capturing our joy. We count your photographs of our engagement and wedding among our greatest treasures. We see your images as a perfect distillation of what our love looks like.

Our wedding day is perfectly placed in our hearts
It isn’t often you find someone who has mastered their craft to a level of effortlessness. It’s even more rare to find this in a team. It isn’t until you see yourself the way they see you, that you realize how lucky you are to be in love.
Elle and Zach understand how to see love because they are in love. They’re in love with their craft, they’re in love with each other, but most of all, they’re in love with love.
You won’t find two people more capable of capturing the reason you want to say “I do.”
Our wedding day is perfectly placed in our hearts.
We’re so grateful that we get to show everyone how magical it will always feel to us.
