“Kimble Photography is the best! We are repeat customers, and with 3 kids under 4 it can’t be easy to get any good shots, but time and time again we get wonderful photos. We use these pictures for everything from profile pictures to Christmas cards. Marvin is professional, personable, and on time. Janni is friendly, efficient, and a great editor. Our family will be clients for years to come.”

“We hired Marvin and Janni for our beach wedding in August and could not have asked for a better experience.  From our first meeting we knew that they were who we were looking for our wedding.  We had concerns after witnessing other wedding photographers; however the Kimbles were able to explain everything in detail regarding their style and how they would deliver the pictures we wanted.  Marvin and Janni are personable and were a pleasure to work with.

Marvin is a wonderful photographer and he fit right in at the wedding.  He is great at what he does; capturing special moments that you will want to remember forever.  We would gladly recommend Kimble Photography to anyone who is looking to capture those moments.”

“Marvin took photographs of my daughter for her college graduation announcements. From start to finish, I found Janni and Marvin to be warm, fair, professional and extremely reasonably priced. They were so easy to deal with, and we absolutely loved the photographs. I would definitely use them again.”
