We are a husband and wife team of professionals, and we use the impressive landscapes surrounding the Canadian Rockies to complement the most special memories from your big day. We are passionate about documenting the most important stories in life - those shared with friends, family, and loved ones.

Experience

Brian Van Tighem started photographing professionally in 2009 and has been documenting weddings, families, couples and elopements in the Rockies ever since. In 2014, Brian and Ashley began working together occasionally, assisting each other with their client photography work. Years passed, and they fell in love, got married, and started Kinfolk Photography together.

We offer customizable packages to accommodate your unique needs and vision. Kinfolk Photography offers a range of options for portraits, weddings and elopements, and also offers prints and wedding albums through our online client galleries. We are happy to photograph individually or to add another photographer to your event so that every detail is captured.

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!)

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.

I love my wedding photos! Brian was on time with lots of great ideas for poses and shots. Loved every second of the day and Brian captured it perfectly! I am so glad that I found White Leaf Photography to photograph Tony's and my special day. I will definitely be using their services again in the future for some family photos.

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.

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.

Engagement Photos in the mountains!

I would definitely recommend Brian to anyone who would like to take their engagement pictures in Jasper! Brian grew up there and knew a ton of great locations to shoot! Even though the weather wasn't the greatest that day, he still managed to find great spots to shoot, and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera!

If I could give you an 11/10 I would!

Choosing White Leaf Photography to capture our wedding day was the best decisions we could have made! Brian and Ashley were kind, friendly, fun, easy going, flexible, honest, and EXTREMELY TALENTED! They arrived on time and went above and beyond what we expected from them! I even had many of our guests come up to me and tell me how wonderful they thought the photographers were! Couldn't have asked for better photographers to capture these life long memories for us! We will definitely be going back for anniversary pictures in the future!
THANK YOU!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
