I wish I could give a rating over 5 stars. Kara was by far the best decision we made during wedding planning. After our wedding was postponed in 2020 due to covid Kara had no issue moving our deposit to our new 2021 date. Leading up to our April 2021 wedding there was still so much uncertainty on what our wedding would be like and Kara was so flexible. She was wonderful to with discussing day of details and she even provided a wedding day timeline (which was a huge help to me). Day of she arrived early ready to go and got some amazing detail and getting ready shots, which I thought I didn’t even want! – I was so wrong. She helped plan out our first look, and it was absolutely perfect, and she got some adorable shots including our pup. To top everything off she set up a rainy-night shot which ended up being one of our favorite photos for the entire day. My entire family and wedding party couldn’t stop raving about how nice and personable Kara was. And photos that I have shared out get so many complaints. Kara is the best there is, you will not regret hiring her!

Kara was fantastic! Right from the beginning, Kara was very responsive to my messages and eager to work with us. As an out of town bride, all of our communication was via email and phone. We didn't meet until 2 weeks before our big day and Kara was willing to drive up from PA to meet, see our venues, and finalize plans. Even with the threat of bad weather (which it ended up raining all day), Kara helped us find alternate photography locations that were covered outside so we still get those wide lens shots.
Since we were out of town, we could not arrange an engagement session with Kara, but she was willing to work with us and adjust the packages she provides so that we still got everything we wanted. Having a second shooter was very important to us. Kara has her sister, Ellen, join her and they work very well together and compliment each other's style. They arrived before our scheduled time and stayed a little after as well. Kara provides great service for a range of price points that I couldn't find from any other photographer in the area.
Kara is very energetic and loves what she does. You can feel her genuine happiness through her emails. She asked us what kind of shots we wanted and she followed through (and them some!). They took beautiful shots of the little details (rings, flowers, candles). They got shots of family and friends chatting and dancing, both formal and informal. They immersed themselves in the crowd so the pictures look like you were right there with them. I love her style (check out her website!).
Kara was very quick to get the pictures back to us. She even posted some to Facebook that afternoon! During the reception, she had a laptop scrolling through the pictures she had taken thus far so our guests could see them. She updated her blog the following week with more sneak peeks and sweet words. We had access to the entire collection both digitally and via a USB drive within a month.
You will not be disappointed by hiring Kara.

When looking for a photographer, the most important thing to me was to find a photographer who truly captured the emotion of joy, laughter, and love and Kara captured all of that and more. Her energetic and personable attitude was top notch. And the pictures were amazing and beautiful. Do not even hesitate about calling Kara, she will deliver top notch pictures and more.
