KIARII KIMANI... is Capturing Memorable Moments
|
|
|
I am a passionate wedding photographer who strives to get the most beautiful memories for all my clients on their wedding day.
I am based in Nairobi, Kenya and run a business called Kiarii Kimani Photography. We focus on wedding photography and cinematography, shooting both locally and internationally.
You can find me online through my website http://website: https://kiariikimaniphotog. wixsite.com/kkphotog/weddings or on social media as follows: Facebook page: kiarii.kimani; and on Instagram: kiariikimaniphotography
We have been in business since 2014 and operate in Juja. The best part of my business is creating beautiful memories for clients
I am excellent at efficiency. No business flourishes without some form of it. My team comprises of myself, a second shooter and videographers.
The unique thing I offer is great wedding photography at a competitive rate and delivery on time.
My biggest challenge is having a positive cash flow and I solve it by keeping a tight lid on expenditure and asking for longer credit terms with suppliers.
Let’s Get Personal :-)
I went to Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology where I earned a Bachelors Degree in Commerce specializing in Finance
After school, the highlights of my life have been riding a chopper and also getting to meet the Hollywood star Lupita Nyongo!
When I am not undertaking photography, I enjoy cooking (somebody say fresh baked goodies and other treats!). I also value being around other artists and Jesus. Occasionally, I sing and play the guitar.
My pride and joy is knowing I have my clients happy. I hope to leave a legacy as a great business man. One who valued human resource more than profit margins
You can reach me on email me on kia...@kiariikimani.com and via phone on 0715-709737
