About Me

I started out in photography when I bought my first SLR film camera in 2001 as a graduation present to myself for graduating from James Madison University. Little did I know that 4 years later I would purchase a digital SLR camera and create a portrait and wedding photography business! I am mostly self-taught but have learned from the best photographers out there, including Jerry Ghionis, Cliff Mautner and the late Monte Zucker.

I like to think of my style as a mixture of photojournalism and traditional photography. I also look for current trends in photography and allow that to influence my style in a way that will create unique images from your wedding day or portrait session. My favorite images are usually the ones with people in them. Posed pictures and detail shots are nice to look at and provide great sentiment, too. However, the emotions people show when they don't know their picture is being taken often leads to the best shots from your portrait session or wedding day!

I thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for the talent, skills, and abilities given to me - without Him, none of this would be possible (Phillipians 4:13). I also would like to thank all my family and friends who have supported my efforts in developing this business. A special thank you goes out to my wife and children who continually give their time and support to make Kinstler Photography the best that it can be.

Please contact me today to schedule a wedding consultation or book your portrait session. I look forward to hearing from you!
