THE ARTIST
KIMBERLY HIDORE PHOTOGRAPHY
As people-centered photographers, we know that the most beautiful, authentic images are created when you feel safe to be vulnerable and experience your wedding day fully.
We are fine art wedding photographers, specializing in the East Coast of the United Staes and Europe. We are visual storytellers, documenting weddings with honesty and care. By offering art direction for exquisite portraits, and a focus on light to create ethereal, painterly images, your wedding photos become works of art that you will treasure for decades to come. We believe that weddings are love stories–between the two of you, and also between your friends and family who have gathered to celebrate you. It is our joy to create space for you to feel truly seen by us and our cameras.

I've been traveling for as long as I can remember. I spent my childhood living in Southeast Asia, and I have been scheming to see more of the world every day since. Whether in Paris or Cape Town, I am inspired by culture, history, cuisine, and language. You will find me all over the globe in every spare moment I have, capturing beauty at every turn. There is nothing that thrills me more than telling love stories in unique places that mean everything to our clients.

Literature has always been one of my deep loves, and I am often happiest on days spent with my nose deep in a book. I've always loved love stories—the messy, the beautiful, and the complexity of human emotion. There is such artistry in capturing authenticity and raw emotion on the page of a book.
From my middle school days in the darkroom to my obsession with Renoir, I have loved art for my entire life. Learning to create art with my camera was pure joy. I began on film at a young age, and have loved continuing to work on both film and digital as a wedding photographer.

Fashion is a bit of an obsession for me, and wedding fashion is no different. One of my great joys as a photographer has been to capture New York Bridal Fashion Week each year with the top wedding gown designers. I have worked with incredible visionaries such as Galia Lahav and Hayley Paige, and creating images for artists to showcase the details of their magnificent work is true joy. I truly love when clients are also obsessed with fashion, and give thoughtful consideration to their bridal styling, right down to every beautiful detail.
