Wow, John and Becky are awesome! They were super easy to work with and they got every shot we asked for! It was great to have two photographers and they got all the best angles. We didn't need to tell them anything, they just did their work and nailed it.
Highly recommend, and we will keep them in mind if we are in the area for future photoshoots. Thank you for being a part of our special day!

I cannot say enough good things about these two! We could not be happier with John and Becky Kendelhardt of Kendelhardt Photography! We found them through The Knot, and from our ve...
ry first conversation, we knew we had made the right choice. They were incredibly professional, kind, responsive, helpful, and genuinely so easy and enjoyable to work with. We had multiple phone calls and lots of back-and-forth throughout the planning process, and they were always quick to communicate and make sure everyone was on the same page. That made me feel so secure and confident in our choice before we had even met them in person.
Our wedding day ended up being very rainy, which changed some of the plans we had originally envisioned, but John and Becky were so flexible and made everything work beautifully. They handled our huge, blended, and somewhat complicated family, along with a large wedding party, so well even while taking family and wedding party photos outside in the rain! They were so calm throughout the entire day, which made everything feel easy and stress-free even though the rain brought some chaos.
They also did an incredible job capturing all of the special moments we wanted. They coordinated multiple family first looks and pictures of the wedding party while keeping my husband and me completely separated, giving us a beautiful first touch without seeing each other before the ceremony. They captured so many fun shots throughout the day.
The photos themselves are absolutely STUNNING. Our gallery has such a bright, gorgeous feel to it, which was one of my biggest concerns going into the wedding because of how dark and rainy the weather was. They captured such an amazing mix of beautiful portraits, natural candids, scenery, decor, details, and little moments that really tell the story of the entire day. Looking through our gallery genuinely feels like reliving our wedding all over again.
We received a handful of sneak peeks the next day, and our full gallery (which included SO many incredible photos) was delivered in about a month and a half. They were amazing people to have alongside us on such an important day, and they delivered a gallery that we will treasure forever.
100000/10 recommend Kendelhardt Photography. I truly could not be happier with John and Becky or with the final product. They were talented, professional, flexible, kind, and just an absolute joy to work with. If you’re looking for wedding photographers, book them!!

We got married in April and cannot say enough amazing things about Kendelhardt photography. When we were searching for a wedding photographer, John responded quickly, had beautiful...
gallery of photos, and we really loved the fact that John and Becky are a husband and wife team.
We first met John for our engagement pictures. He made us feel so comfortable getting our pictures taken and got some really fun shots that we used in our save the dates and for pictures displayed on our wedding day.
On wedding day, we felt so relaxed and natural in front of the lens. They guided us effortlessly and captured so many genuine and candid moments. The resulting photos are stunning and really helps us to relive our day. We've been showing them off to everyone we know and have already received so many compliments.
John and Becky, you are both truly amazing and we will treasure our photos forever. Highly recommend Kendelhardt photography!

Working with John and Becky from Kendelhardt Photography was such a wonderful experience! They are an incredibly kind and professional husband-and-wife team who were fully invested...
in giving the couple the best possible wedding day. John even attended additional pre-wedding meetings to get to know the venue and scout out photo locations in advance, which made such a difference on the wedding day.
They were efficient, organized, and kept the timeline on track while making sure the couple received every photo they dreamed of. Their communication both leading up to the wedding and onsite was excellent, and they brought such a positive, calming presence to the day. I truly enjoyed working alongside them and would confidently recommend Kendelhardt Photography to any couple looking for talented photographers who care deeply about their clients’ experience.

g every second. That photo now hangs in our home, and it’s the first thing guests see when they walk in. It’s more than a picture—it’s a moment frozen in time.
From the very beginning, Kendelhardt was a dream to work with. They were prompt, professional, and incredibly understanding.
Throughout the day, they brought a calming energy and helped everything feel smooth and natural. Their gentle direction during portraits made us feel confident without ever feeling staged—they let us move, laugh, and be ourselves, and it shows in every image. They coordinated seamlessly with our planner and videographer, and we heard nothing but praise from our guests. Everyone was a fan!
The final gallery exceeded every expectation—each image is a work of art, filled with heart and authenticity.
If you’re looking for a photographer who will go above and beyond, Kendelhardt Photography is the one. We’re so grateful to have had them by our side.

uch kind people who really take the time to make sure to get the best photos throughout the day, while also maintaining a calm vibe that helps keep you grounded in all the chaos of the day.
From the beginning of the wedding planning process, John was always very prompt and professional in responding to anything we needed! And he helped us plan a beautiful engagement shoot in Golden near Clear Creek and on Lookout Mountain. He had gone to the spot a few days beforehand to scout out good spots for photos, and when we met up with him for the session on Memorial Day when the area was packed with people, he didn't let that affect anything and was still able to get a ton of stunning photos that all make it look like there was absolutely no one around! And leading up to the wedding day, John also went out of his way to meet up with us at our venue, since he hadn't shot there before, to walk around with us and scope out all the beautiful spots for photos.
On the wedding day itself, John and Becky did an absolutely fantastic job of thoughtfully navigating everything to make sure that they captured every photo we could possibly want. And they did so while being extremely efficient, organized, and helping us keep the timeline of the day moving smoothly. There truly isn't anything that could have gone better!
We can't wait to see our full gallery from the wedding day, but our sneak peeks were absolutely stunning! Huge thanks to John and Becky for everything, and we could not recommend them more!

We couldnt be happier with our experience working with Kendelhardt Photagraphy for our wedding at Hillside Gardens. We opted for the engagment session in addition to our big day. ...
From start to finish John and his wife were professional, kind and incredibly talented Our only regret is not requesting a video recording of our first dance-that was completely on us. But the photos they took of that moment still captured every bit of magic and emotion.
If you're looking for photographers, who will go above and beyond and truly understand how to tell your story through photos we highly recommend Kendelhardt. Thank you so much we will treasure these memories forever!

re above and beyond the best experience. We just celebrated our 1-year anniversary and through every stage they were amazing. Our coffee chat appointment was brilliant for setting expectations and helping us wrap our minds around questions we hadn't been thinking about when it came to photos. Our engagement photoshoot was great to get us comfortable and figure out how best we take photos, and the actual wedding was a perfect day and I love how well our photos captured that! They were punctual, prepared, pleasant easy-going attitudes, worked well with our coordinator and other vendors, special little surprises, and GREAT turnaround times. And John even helped us build a gorgeous wedding book with the highlights that I am SO grateful to have. I would have never compiled something this quality and with such effortless flow on my own. Literally cannot say enough good things about Kendelhardt Photography and this husband and wife duo. I don't even remember what the package cost, but I can tell you it was well worth it because it's not the dollars I am focused on now, it's the amazing memories and quality shots we now have of our once in a lifetime day.

We felt so comfortable with John and he was so experienced and professional it was one less thing we had to worry about on our wedding day. It was very important to us that we (and our guests) didn’t feel like the photographer was intruding on our day at all, and he did a fantastic job of somehow capturing everything but never being noticed. He was also right on with delivering photos after our wedding and engagement, plus his portfolio is true to his style - natural and beautiful! We highly recommend John for all of your future events!

experience! From the get go they were extremely professional and wanted to make sure that our needs were met. They gave us thoughtful direction during the whole process and were very communicative! More than that, John and Becky are lovely people who we felt absolutely comfortable around which was huge for us. We really wanted someone that we knew our friends and family would be comfortable around, and we could not have found a more warm and friendly couple to share in our special day. Posing for photos can feel awkward at times, but John and Becky really knew how to make the whole experience comfortable and fun for us (and because of that we got some truly FANTASTIC photos!). If you're looking for a photographer who's friendly, professional, affordable, and can produce true quality work, PLEASE look into Kendelhardt Photography. We are so happy that we hired them and would recommend them to anyone! Would give 10,000 stars if we could! -Dev & Jessie

ervous at first when doing our engagement photos and were unsure if it would be awkward, but John was so easy to chat with and gave great direction to make us look natural and photograph well (which doesn't come easy to us!). We went to RMNP at John's advice and I couldn't have dreamed of more beautiful pictures and scenery. Then for our wedding day Becky and John were like having old friends there, but who are truly amazing at their craft! They navigated our family dynamics like true professionals and got an ungodly amount of family photos we asked for like it was a breeze. They were an integral part of making our wedding so unbelievably special, and they captured those moments in a way that somehow feels natural but elevated and beautiful. They are responsive and helpful as professionals and also great people, which is such a wonderful and rare thing to have when involving folks for a once in a lifetime important event. We were grateful to have them, and would give 10 stars if I could!!

Add us to the list of 5-star reviews for this awesome couple! The main reason they deserve a full rating from us is that there is not a single part of what the Kendelhardts did for...
us that wasn't great. From the first email we sent to John to learn about their services to the day he sent us the final photos, we were really happy. When we contacted them, they were just getting ready to move to Colorado and we felt a little hesitant because they wouldn't know the area and hadn't worked with anyone we knew directly. Our hesitation was wasted energy. John met with us before the wedding to ensure they had all they needed and it helped us feel more comfortable on the big day. They got amazing pictures for us from when we were getting ready, the ceremony, reception, and the exit. They were intentional with where the pictures were taken, timing of sunlight, and I'm sure a ton of other things that I don't even know about. What we appreciated the most was how they made everyone at our wedding feel comfortable and truly contributed to the formal yet relaxed and fun vibe we were going for. I am confident that if you get the Kendelhardts on your wedding team, you won't have to worry about the pictures anymore.

Here’s the deal. There are SO MANY great photographers listed on The Knot. But if you’ve made it to this review, look no further. You’ve found your photographers. Send them a messa...
ge, you’ll be happy you did. John & Becky did an AMAZING job on our wedding. When we saw their photos we knew they had to capture our wedding. Stylistically we just clicked! Even though they were Pittsburgh based (at the time, now they are in CO) they were very organized and we had an open line of communication. Photos were returned to us in a timely manner, and every single one is perfect. John and Becky met myself and the bridesmaids at our hair and makeup location offsite for additional photos, and were taking photos until we got in the getaway car. Every important memory was captured, and had multiple to choose from!!! I can’t not say enough great things about Kendelhardt Photography!!

We couldn't be happier with our entire experience with Kendelhardt Photography. From our first meeting to our wedding day, John was extremely attentive to what we were looking for ...
in our wedding photography. Additionally, he is very organized and transparent throughout the entire planning process, so there is little to no room for miscommunication or misunderstanding. On the day of he, and his wife Becky, became a part of the family. They were excited and energetic, but also seamless and organic about how they captured quiet or sensitive moments during our ceremony. Based off of the sneak previews we have recieved so far, the photos seem effortless and timeless- despite all the work he know John has put into them. We can't wait to relive our day through our photos from Kendlehardt Photography for many years to come. Thanks, John and Becky!

John and Becky are amazing. We had an engagement session with John and Becky in July and had a great time. It was perfect to get to know them, and them to get to know us, before t...
he wedding day.
John was incredibly responsive during the planning and organizing of the wedding day. He really helped me out with figuring out the timeline and extra things I wouldn't have even thought out.
The wedding day was a dream come true! John really had an understanding of what our wants were and was more then accommodating to get shots of the first look, snow fall, even shotgunning a beer! John was quick to organize the wedding party for the photos and open to all of the pictures we were looking for. Becky also was great at organizing the wedding party, setting up different ideas, and holding 6 bouquets at one time.
It was a pleasure and joy to spend my wedding day with John and Becky there to capture it!

John and Becky are wonderful! Not only are they amazing photographers, but they are also super cool humans. Our engagement session helped us to ease some of our jitters in front of...
the camera, and we got some spectacular shots for our save-the-dates, wedding website, and to hang throughout our home. John made sure to call us a few times as we approached the big day to go over all of the details, many of which I hadn't even considered. We felt fully confident that the wedding day would go smoothly, and it surely did! It feels so natural posing and being in front of the camera with them. I was grateful that John had asked me what "must-have" photos I wanted because they made sure to capture everything. I cannot recommend them enough, and I have a feeling that I might be requesting an anniversary shoot in the future!
