An analog-loving wedding photography studio led by a husband-and-wife team. Intimate and artful, their work celebrates modern love with an editorial twist. Elle is the principal photographer behind Kindred, with over 12 years of experience documenting love stories. With a background in photojournalism and fine art, she primarily works with analog formats—favoring 35mm, but also using 120 and Polaroid—to bring a variety of perspectives. Zach manages the administrative side of the studio while often collaborating alongside Elle. Rooted on the East Coast, their personal, immersive style has earned recognition in The New York Times, Vogue, Brides, and Martha Stewart Weddings. In 2020, they were named one of Rangefinder’s “30 Rising Stars,” and in 2025, they were listed among Wezoree's "Top 20 Photographers in the US" and The Wed’s “Top 40 Photographers in the US” as well as “Top 11 Photographers in NYC.”
