WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY

First & foremost: congratulations!

Seriously, whenever someone tells me that they are getting married, I get goose bumps - because omigosh - weddings are SO exciting! So, definitely imagine me all giddy & goose-pimply right now!

My photographic style is classic, bright, & happy.

 

There are a lot of “fads” when it comes to photography & my goal is to avoid all of them. I never want my images to date themselves simply because of the post-processing that was added to them.

 

My goal is for my photos to be as true-to-life as possible: I love green greens, blue blues, & creamy skin tones.

 

I strive for a mix of timeless poses & candids that reflect the moment - whether a couple is quiet & calm, quirky & energetic, or romantic & fun! I always want my images to tell the true story of a couple’s love.

“Kara is a total sweetheart - she was so understanding and helpful when we had to reschedule our wedding *three* times due to the pandemic! And her work is fantastic. We were super particular about what we wanted and she really went out of her way to make sure we were happy. Her energy and enthusiasm make the experience fun and stress-free, and we loved her attention to detail (fixing my train, making sure strangers weren't in the shot, etc.). She was always available to answer questions leading up to the big day, and she got our pictures back to us even faster than promised!"

FAST. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer to help make our wedding day special.”
