WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY
As we were getting ready to leave the bridal suite to head up to the first look, a lot was going on. Last minute touches were being put on bridesmaids’ hair and makeup, friends and family members were coming and going with decor and details, bouquets were being passed out, the weather forecast was being...
If there’s anything for certain about wedding days, it’s that they have a mind of their own. You can plan and prep and strategize all you want, but sometimes, things just go completely off the rails.And when they do (notice I said “when”, not “if”), what do you do? I have two pieces of advice:1....
“If you are in the market for a wedding photographer, let me implore you to stop here. Kara was an absolute joy to work with, even from the very beginning. She corresponds with you long before the big day, so you never feel in the dark. She has always responded promptly to any emails I...
Let me ask you a question: how did you receive the photos from your wedding day? If you got married anytime before 2010, you probably received a small book of proofs, that you, in turn, then used to order prints and a wedding album from your photographer. If you got married anytime after 2010, you...
“Kara is a wonderful photographer to work with – you will not regret hiring her. She will go over and beyond for you to capture the most beautiful photos of your day. She was so energetic, engaging, and a lot of fun to work with! My husband and I are not the most comfortable in...

[…] My first wedding of the season was last Saturday. It was wonderful, but it rained (at certain portions of the day it downright poured). Rain on a wedding day is obviously never anyone’s first choice, but if you’re going to have rain – we sure hit the jackpot with it on Saturday! It rained while everyone was getting ready, and then we had just enough of a window of time to get in the First Look and bridal party portraits. Then it poured down rain during the ceremony and cocktail hour (but since April and Bobby did a First Look, it didn’t matter!) and by the end of dinner, the clouds rolled away and the sun actually came out! It was glorious! And that meant everyone could dance outside on the outdoor dance floor at Oak Lodge. Rain is never fun, but when it rains during all the “right” moments – it’s just fine. (See the highlights of April and Bobby’s day HERE!) […]
[…] April and Bobby made things super easy on themselves and simply added a wedding album into their photography package. That way, as soon as their wedding photos were delivered, we jumped straight into the album-design-process! Within just a few weeks, I was meeting up with them and handing off these beautiful, custom-designed, heirloom albums (they had one made for April’s parents too – but I’ll talk more about that later!)
