Winner
Tkshotz Photography
Todd Kwiczak and his company, Tkshotz Photography, have been in the wedding photography business for more than a decade. Kwiczak and his team of talented photographers offer a gallery of beautifully captured candid and editorial moments.
According to Kwiczak, couples are continuing to opt for the more candid, intimate feel that film offers. “The aesthetic of film has really come back in the last couple years. It just brings another layer of feeling with the nostalgic film look,” says Kwiczak.
Over time, the business has continually adopted new trends and techniques to keep evolving their services. Notably, the company has added vintage camcorders and Super 8 cameras to their equipment.
Its newest Vintage Nostalgic photo booth offers that dreamy film look with printable photos guests can take home.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Tkshotz Photography also introduced their popular live-streaming service that allows relatives and loved ones to be virtually present during the big day. Live streams are still offered to help faraway family members watch the ceremony.
Style alignment is an essential element for couples to keep in mind.
“We talk to clients and we see what their needs are. Some may want a more journalistic approach. Others may be fixated on a look they saw online. It’s all about finding what’s best for them,” says Kwiczak.
Ultimately, choosing a team of trusted photographers can provide a lot of comfort during some of the most stressful parts of the wedding.
“It’s all about connection and comfort. Couples just need to know they’re not on their own,” says Kwiczak. “It’s not just about taking photos. We’re giving them support on one of their biggest days.”
