Fun and Creative

We worked with Brian for both our engagement and wedding photos. Bran was absolutely phenomenal to work with. He was very professional but so down to earth and easy to talk to. Our engagement photos turned out way better than we could have ever imagined and we cannot wait to see our wedding photos. I highly suggest Kinfolk Photography, their work is stunning.

Gorgeous in the moment action shots, beautiful edits

We are in love with our photos. One thing I noticed when looking at Brian's portfolio was his ability to capture natural, in the moment shots. Brian really helped us capture this, which is what we were looking for on our wedding day. He was so happy to speak to us before hand to understand what we were looking for and was so friendly, accommodating, and positive throughout the whole process. Brian is so talented in so many different types of photography and he was able to give us something just perfect. Thank you so much, Brian.

Extraordinary Photography

Brian with White Leaf Photographs is absolutely exceptional. Not only is he extremely talented, he is kind, outgoing, caring, and has an eye for the most beautiful shots. We were amazed with how relaxed we were with Brian during our engagement photos, and I cried when I saw our photos! We were so blown away, we booked him for our wedding and we couldn't be happier for our choice. Our wedding day is forever captured with the most gorgeous shots, all thanks to Brian. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

White Leaf Photographs went above and beyond

From the moment I had booked White Leaf Photographs through e-mail, I knew that we had made the right choice for our wedding photos. Brian was amazing with responding in a quick, timely manner which makes a HUGE difference during a stressful time like planning one of the most important days of your life.

My husband and I are very camera shy and were a bit nervous to have our photos done. Our nerves quickly calmed once we met Brian during out engagement session. He is one of the most friendly, down to earth guys I have met and made the experience very enjoyable. When we received our photos I was amazed. I couldn't believe how stunning they were.

For our wedding, we had booked Brian and Ashley as we wanted every angle possible so we didn't miss any memories on our special day. Ashley is just as amazing as Brian. Seriously the best people. They both we above and beyond for me. A button had popped off on the back of my dress about a half hour before I was to walk down the isle. While my bridesmaids and I frantically tried to fix it, Brian and Ashley searched for a sewing kit at the hotel, brought it back to us, and even helped sew my button back on my dress. Somehow during this time they managed to capture the most stunning photos of all the girls and guys getting ready. Ashley had even carried a juice box that my maid of honor could not carry in her purse for me in case I needed a boost later on in the day.

I would 100% recommend White Leaf Photographs. My photos are absolutely amazing. I am so lucky to have had them photograph my wedding.

When we got married it was a last minute decision to hire a photographer, & we are so happy that we did!!

White Leaf captured our ceremony perfectly, the photos are stunning, & what a wonderful experience. For the small amount of time we got to spend with them, they were very professional, & easy to work with. Plus we absolutely love our pictures!!

The only thing I would have done different, would have been to hire them for longer, & gotten photos of our reception. I have a feeling they would have been amazing.

Thank you so much White Leaf, for being part of our day, & providing us with such wonderful memories.

I would 120% recommend Brian and his team- they are absolutely AMAZING! From the moment we met Brian we felt at ease and looked forward to how he would capture our wedding. On the big day he arrived ahead of time and everything was just easy! He snapped away as the events rolled out, giving direction when needed but definitely not overly structured or directing everyone and making things feel stiff. The moments he captured are just amazing- we had a fun loving wedding party and he just embraced everything and we have those memories to hold on to forever and ever. We were given access to our sneak peek a couple weeks after our wedding and had the fancy USB with all our images a few months later- which considering how busy he was this past fall was pretty great in my books!

Beautiful Photos and Exceptional Service

Brian and Ash were an absolute pleasure to work with. They captured the mood of our elopement in Jasper perfectly. We couldn't be more thrilled with how our photos turned out. They were extremely patient and accommodating and provided exceptional personalized service during the shoot. They even helped us pick where to hold the ceremony based on the weather and lighting conditions on the day of our wedding - one of the many benefits of using locally-based photographers. Overall, we had a great experience with Kinfolk and highly recommend them to anybody getting married in Jasper and the Rocky Mountains (or anywhere else in the world, for that matter!)

Exactly as Advertised

We chose Brian based on the aesthetic of his portfolio. His photos and editing definitely have a certain "look" and it matched what we were searching for. We were so pleased with the final results, our pictures were simply perfect and came out even better than we imagined. Brian was so nice and professional. He walked the grounds with us before our ceremony, searching for many different photo locations. We had a really great experience and recommend Brian without hesitation.
