A NOTE FROM KARI -
It's really not just about the photos for me. I am so passionate about really knowing my clients & creating beautiful & timeless images that will not only serve as a sweet reminder of your special moments, but will continue telling your story to generations to come.
Looking back on my grandparent's wedding photos deeply inspires me & gives me such an incredible perspective for you too! I wish I could flip through more photos of EVERY season of their lives, just to know them a little more. All that to say, you aren't just spending money on some cool pics, you are investing in a tangible representation of this season of your life that can be adored & revisited time and time again... I would be so sincerely honored to play this part to help tell your story, & honestly it is what I do best!

HELL TO THE YES! Experiencing a new place through my own lens is the number one way I feel creatively fueled! Whether it be a scenic mountain town, a cozy coastal cottage, or YOUR favorite place in the world, I need to experience it! When booking me for a location outside of my local range I will give you a custom travel quote! Any wedding over 3 hours from me will require a 1 night accommodation, US west coast travel is usually around $800, midwest/east coast travel is around $1200, and international travel ranges from $800-$2000! There is no additional travel fee for the ‘Wedding Weekend’ package or the ‘Partial Weekend’ package anywhere within the US!

YES PLEASE! I am so passionate about documenting the season of your life leading up to wedding day! It is an amazing opportunity to get a better feel for how we will collectively vibe together prior to spending your entire wedding day/weekend together! I approach engagement shoots a little differently than most, I love to make it feel like a date night for y’all & we’ll spend ~1.5-2 hours shooting, hopping around your favorite local spot or adventuring in a scenic location you adore! I like to encourage a wardrobe change or two, all shot on a fun mix of film & digital! - Engagement shoots are offered as an add-on for wedding clients priced at $800, or $1200 if you plan on booking it separately.

My turnaround time for any full wedding gallery is 10-12 weeks! But I love to send up to 100 digitally edited sneak peaks from your wedding day within a week! Normally I have all your film scanned & uploaded to your online gallery within a couple weeks as well! The entirety of your photos will be uploaded to a private online gallery (delivered via web link) where you can download the high res images right to your computer or phone! My gallery platform also includes a printing service so you can order prints straight from the gallery itself! - I tried it out for myself and LOVED the prints I received back!
-
I request a 25% non-refundable retainer (aka deposit) upon contract signage for weddings! This is what not only holds your date, but it holds the available slot for the amount of weddings that I take in a month! I will turn down inquiries knowing that I’ve hit my max amount of slots to make sure i’m providing the best possible experience for each and every client! Your wedding payment will be split into four installations leading up to your final payment, due two months prior to wedding day! For all other shoots I require a 50% deposit to lock in your shoot date.
-
I have a few systems in place to make sure your photos are 100% secure until they’re in your hands & have been downloaded! I shoot on two separate SD cards all day! This means every photo is being saved to two places right off the bat! As soon as I get home I upload your raw images onto two separate hard drives (one for editing and one for safe keeping), & I keep a copy of the raws on your SD cards filed away until your gallery is delivered! My contract states you have 2 weeks to make sure your entire gallery has been downloaded and saved in a safe place. After 2 weeks from your gallery being delivered I clear all the SD cards and delete your raws from my hard drives to allow storage for my upcoming weddings!

No thank you! The only “shot list” I work off of is for family photos where I go in and check off each individual grouping that you request! Otherwise I try my best to document everything in the moment as the day progresses! Wedding party photos are all shots I have memorized, as well as prompts for your couples portraits! I get as specific as possible when building your timeline so all your photos are accounted for throughout the day, no need to write out specific shots! Plus, I love to be in the moment with you and I believe shooting more candid/documentary style sets us up for the most authentic representation of your day! All my posing prompts aim to lead you into a sweet candid moment, I want you to be present more than anything so you actually remember your precious day!
-
Absolutely, and I’m so glad you asked haha! After you’ve inquired just let me know & I’ll share some private links with you anytime! I think seeing a full gallery from your potential wedding photographer is so important! It will give you comprehensive look into what you can expect for your own gallery, from the amount of photos to the gallery layout as well as a great representation of my shooting & editing style!

HEAPS! I am so passionate about working with vendors who truly care about you as a couple & want to do everything in their power to help your day look as beautiful as possible, run incredibly smoothly, & be a team player! It’s not our day, IT’S YOURS, & working with a team of vendors who are aligned on that effort is a major component to a perfect wedding! I have a ton of recommendations that I love to share with couples after they’ve officially booked me! Once your contract is signed & deposit is received I have a special list of videographers, florists, planners & more!

I shoot just about every wedding with multiple cameras attached to me at all times - typically one main digital camera & 2 film cameras! I love mixing in film shots throughout your day to kind of be a highlight reel, and prioritize moments like your portraits, details, & guest candids! The only time of the day where I won’t shoot film is of your formal family portraits, unless requested otherwise! I shoot anywhere from 3-10 rolls of film per wedding on a mix of 35mm film (36 shots per roll) & 120 aka Medium Format film (12-16 shots per roll). I prefer not to quote you on an exact amount of rolls because every wedding is different & my goal is always to shoot as much film as possible! It is my favorite after all!
-
I include an optional 2nd shooter in my top two wedding packages! They are not only giving you another set of eyes and ears for me to work with on your wedding day, but help me to seamlessly integrate film coverage into the day without a single moment being missed on digital! Although I love shooting any given wedding day solo, sometimes the timeline just requires two photographers at the same time! Having a 2nd shooter is most crucial when you aren’t doing a first look and there’s a higher guest count, or moments where you would just love the additional coverage! I have some amazing wedding photographer colleagues who I will reach out to for 2nd shooting after you’ve officially booked! All raw images from your second shooter are seamlessly integrated into your full wedding gallery & edited by me!
