WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
"She is warm and genuine, and her cheerfulness is absolutely contagious. We were beyond impressed with the quality of her work. She did such an amazing job at capturing both the big events and the tiny details."
"Our wedding day was the most important day of our lives, so when it came to documenting it, my now-husband and I knew we wanted not only a professional, but also someone personable, who would only add to the joy we felt the day. Honestly, we never even considered anyone else – we simply didn’t need to. As I expected, Kari was an absolute delight from the very first email. She is warm and genuine, and her cheerfulness is absolutely contagious. We were beyond impressed with the quality of her work. She did such an amazing job at capturing both the big events and the tiny details. Going on two years later, I still often hear about how beautiful our wedding photos turned out. In fact, we loved working with her so much that we asked her to do our first anniversary photos. Now that we’ve added a little one to the mix, we look forward to doing family photos with her in the future."
-Kristi + Tim
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
"Kari provided GORGEOUS images that captured all the details, the love we have with our family and friends, and the most perfect moments of our day."
"When you think about your wedding you don't quite envision rain. It rained our entire wedding day, but you never would have guessed it when looking at our photos! Kari provided GORGEOUS images that captured all the details, the love we have with our family and friends, and the most perfect moments of our day. Years later, I still look back and fall in love all over again!"
-Sara & Kenny
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
"She’s not only an exceptional photographer but also did a great job of managing dozens of family members"
“Kari captured one of our most memorable days with energy and excellence. She’s not only an exceptional photographer but also did a great job of managing dozens of family members to ensure we got all the shots we wanted in limited time.”
-Matt + Julie
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
"Her demeanor on a wedding day stands out, she is so amazingly good with people. I knew since before we got engaged that Kari would be the perfect photographer and she didn’t disappoint."
"After I got engaged, there was one thing I knew I wanted going into wedding planning: I knew I HAD to have Kari as my wedding photographer. End of story. I immediately emailed her asking if she still had any dates available for the following summer, and planned my wedding based on when she was available because she’s THAT GOOD!! Being a wedding photographer myself, I knew the importance of investing in your wedding photography experience and how a photographer can make or break a wedding day. Kari’s personality is so fun and bubbly, and her style is exactly what I love. It’s timeless, romantic, and SO incredibly beautiful. I’ve been following her for years, and as STUNNING as her photos are, the best part about following her is seeing her life. She is so easy to connect with and makes everyone feel welcome in every situation!! We’ve gotten compliments from MULTIPLE different family members about how our wedding photos look like they belong in a magazine - to this day, we STILL get so many compliments about Kari!! Her demeanor on a wedding day stands out, she is so amazingly good with people. I knew since before we got engaged that Kari would be the perfect photographer and she didn’t disappoint. You will NOT regret investing in your wedding photos that you will have for YEARS to come with Kari’s beautiful, timeless style!! We loved her and are so happy to call her a friend!!”
