Wedding photography for the lucky in love couples that love big bouquets, all things weddings, and most importantly, each other. 

I’ll show you exactly what it means to be your wedding cheerleader!

I'm guessing that you're currently a little overwhelmed on your wedding photographer search – looking high and low to find a photographer that feels more like a friend.

That’s why I approach wedding photography with a focus on connection, communication, and celebration. Every couple deserves to feel comfortable in front of the camera and to be celebrated through timeless photos. With my camera in hand, you're going to feel totally at ease before we even start taking photos – even if it's the first time you've been professionally photographed... I promise!

Because if there's one thing I've learned as a wedding photographer, it's that wedding photography is about so much more than wedding photos.

“We couldn't be happier with Kara as our wedding photographer! From the beginning she completely understood our vision. She was so friendly and warm, and honestly every time we met with her it just felt like hanging out with a friend. Our pictures for both our engagement shoot and wedding were stunning. We got TONS of compliments on Kara's personable and professional demeanor all day at the wedding. Kara is the real deal – I would happily recommend her to anyone that I know.”

My past couples wrap up the wedding photography experience feeling...

“Kara is the best to work with. She isn’t just a photographer she is your support, advice, insight, and backbone. When you first meet her you will instantly feel comfort, almost like you’ve known each other for years. She made us so comfortable during the engagement session and the wedding day.
