About Photokindred

Joel Wiebner, Photokindred

owner and photographer

Hello and thank you for taking the time to learn about me and my work. It is my goal to create images that are natural, alive, and hopefully unlike anything you've ever seen before. I have been doing this since 2001 and I'd love the chance to be part of your day.

A great photograph isn't just a pretty location or a practiced smile. It's the connection living inside it. The understanding that runs deeper than any photography technique. You want a photographer who moves through your day quietly, naturally, like someone who really wants to be there. Whose presence protects the moment rather than interrupting it. I've spent my career learning how to do exactly that. What I'm after are the things you feel. The joy, the love, the threads that tie you all together. My goal is to find those threads and hold my camera up like a mirror, so you can see it the way I did.

    Uniquely Perfect

    Joel has been our family's 'go to' photographer for years! He captured beautiful moments before, during, and after our wedding, extended family photos, sweet pictures of our daughter, and a more than memorable surrogacy journey. As I write this, I vividly see the images Joel took of each session and get emotional. The raw talent and artistic eye that Joel possesses is more than something that has been taught. I cannot speak more highly of Joel's work, you will not be disappointed! Professionally, Joel turns around his work in record timing! I've never known a photographer to so swiftly edit and produce the caliber of photos that Joel does! Additionally, Joel's personality makes even those who despise their picture being taken feel instantly comfortable. He doesn't require a certain pose or light to be able to capture the best of you, your family, or event. Joel works with and for you!

    Each moment captured, perfectly.

    Joel shot our February wedding and I could not recommend him enough! He takes the time to get to know you and what your vision is. Then combines it with his unique and creative approach to capturing all of the moments. The staged portraits, the laughs, the tears, the sentimental looks, all of them. Somehow he manages to capture everyone’s unique personalities! He has an artful eye and a personable way that makes everyone comfortable. He was a joy to work with.

    Captured our love story perfectly!

    We truly cannot say enough good things about our experience. From the very beginning, he went above and beyond—driving all the way out to our forest to capture our engagement photos in a setting that felt deeply personal to us. He didn’t just take pictures; he took the time to understand who we are, and it shows in every single shot. Those engagement photos were already breathtaking, but somehow he made our small backyard wedding feel just as meaningful and beautifully told. He captured the quiet, intimate moments alongside the joy and emotion of the day in a way that feels so genuine and true to us. What stood out most was how comfortable he made us feel. Nothing felt forced or overly posed—just natural, candid moments that we’ll treasure forever. Every photo brings us right back to those moments. If you’re looking for someone who is not only incredibly talented but also willing to go the extra mile (literally!) to make your vision come to life, we couldn’t recommend him more highly.

    Photography that really gets you!

    From the moment we first spoke with the Joel at Photokindred, we knew we had found our wedding photographer. His candid, photojournalistic style perfectly captured the heart-felt moments of our special day. The pictures he delivered beautifully documented all the details we wanted to remember, from the small, fleeting interactions to the biggest highlights. On the day of, Joel was incredibly personable and easy to work with - he seamlessly blended into the background, anticipating the best shots before they even happened. Looking back at our wedding photos now, we're amazed at how Joel and his team managed to freeze in time the very moments we cherish most. We couldn't be happier with the value and quality of their work, and highly recommend Photokindred to any couple planning their wedding.
