The winner and runner-up in Avenue’s first ever best online ballot for wedding services.
Winner: Tkshotz Photography
Todd Kwiczak is a former craftsman who turned photographer and heads a small team at his eponymous company, Tkshotz Photography. Since Kwiczak switched to wedding photography in 2007, it has been his mission to make every customer feel celebrated through light, connection and story. “I love making connections with the couples,” says Kwiczak. “There is a huge difference in jumping from craft to photography, however [for me] it just felt right. “The Tkshotz team takes a proactive approach to growing their customer base and adapting to changing trends in the wedding industry. This ability to be agile and adaptable to changing circumstances, as well as a commitment to providing customers with a calm and stress-free experience, enabled the company to keep working during the pandemic. Tkshotz had been offering film-style video services as Tkshotz Productions prior to March 2020. However, due to the restrictions on events due to the spread of COVID-19, the company quickly began offering live streaming services for weddings, while also running an initiative with local wedding planners, public officials, venues and florists to create bespoke, full-service wedding packages in response to that Uncertainty that couples faced. The comprehensive “I’m Still Doing” packages proved popular. Tkshotz has filmed more than 40 “I Still Do” weddings. – TA
