About

I first started photographing in my hometown of Akron, Ohio in 2005. I became drawn to the tactile feeling of developing prints and watching the images emerge in the darkroom. As my visual interest grew so did my insatiable desire to create more. I received a BA in Photography and moved to the west coast where I've been since.

I’ve been capturing weddings since 2011. Alongside working with photography studios and second shooting for a series of years, I have been solo shooting. As a recently married woman who planned my own wedding, I know how to help you get the most out of your big day with my photo coverage.

Book a session, ask a question or just say hello at karacooperphoto@gmail.com. Elopements start at $1500 and weddings at $2300. Based in Portland and also experienced in photographing in Hood River, San Francisco, Hawaii, NC, VA, Seattle, Los Angeles, Chicago, Akron ♥ area, etc.

Email me directly as I do not receive messages or get to edit my location without paying for a Wedding Wire membership.

Kara was fantastic! She was flexible to work with and created a custom package that met our needs. Very professional and the photos turned out great. Our friends and family were also impressed. Definitely recommend Kara for pics in the Portland area.

Kara was an amazing photographer to work with for our wedding in Hawaii. My husband and I have never taken professional pictures before and she made us feel very comfortable by allowing us to be ourselves. Kara gave us time to reflect on our relationship before we started the photoshoot and she does an amazing job capturing "us" when we don't realize it. She was great at communicating with us while we were in San Diego planning a wedding in Hawaii and she was in San Francisco. I loved how she showed us a preview picture near the end of our wedding reception. Even without editing, the picture looked fabulous. I would definitely recommend her for any event, photoshoot, etc. We hope to work with her again in the future.
