Kara was a wonderful last-minute addition to our wedding, and was able to hit the ground running, was so kind and helpful, and worked so well with our coordinator and videographer on the day of!
She and her wonderful second shooter were very organized, coordinated well with the videographers to cover everything on that fast-paced day, and they had a plan for dealing with the intense heat. They knew exactly the photos they needed to get, and didn't leave us standing around in the heat - she got everyone organized and got them done, and it was so painless. It was wonderful, and we're so glad that Kara worked out for our wedding!

You will not find better than Kara and her team! She is incredibly easy to work with before, during and after your wedding. She made us incredibly comfortable and captured so many moments we didn't know! Her poor second shooter even helped fix my train to go down the aisle! Perfect photography team!

Kara brings amazing energy to each shoot and captured so many moments and laughter throughout our wedding day that I will cherish forever!! She finished our entire wedding portfolio and had them back to me within a week after the wedding!! She also shot our engagement photos at our home farm and captured many sentimental shots at our home! I would HIGHLY recommend Kara for all of your photography needs!!

Have you ever been a part of a wedding party where you get sick and tired of taking corny posed photos and your cheeks hurt from fake smiling so long? THIS IS NOT THAT. Kara and her team are INCREDIBLE to work with and make the whole experience fun. I met Kara while she was shooting one of my friends weddings so naturally when I got engaged she was the first photographer to pop into my mind. My husband is not the photo shoot type but Kara got him to crack a smile and look so natural with ease. Fast forward to our wedding day where Kara nick-named all the groomsmen and captured amazing moments for us. BONUS- when my veil needed to be pinned in more securely before our ceremony Kara saved the day. PHOTOG + HAIR DRESSER??? YEP. The overall experience was AMAZING and I cannot stress enough how EASY it was working with the KKP team (all brides need vendors that are easy to work with am I right?!) We LOVE Kara and are so happy with our photos! We cannot say enough good things & would recommend KKP to anyone!!

Kara was absolutely wonderful throughout the whole experience! Not only does she have beautiful photos, but she is a beautiful person inside and out! She was easy to talk to and connect with leading up to the wedding, as well as the day of.

Both my husband and I feel unsure of what to do in photos, but Kara gave clear directions with every detail. We never questioned whether or not our bodies, faces, or surroundings were ok, because she was clear and encouraging with each picture.

Kara took care in directing our families and bridal parties as well, and she was efficient with each picture. She made everyone feel comfortable and happy the day of, and she was extremely organized.

I cannot wait to see the prints for our wedding, but I am confident they will be beautiful. I highly recommend using Kara as your photographer!

Kara was everything my husband and I had hoped for and more! She took amazing photos and catered to all of our needs. She was easy to work with, speedy, and reliable. Kara went above and beyond our expectations constantly reminding us that if we needed anything, she was there for us. I would most definitely recommend Kara Kamienski for all your wedding photo needs!

Kara goes the distance! Literally! When I started planning my wedding (in Boston), I knew I wanted Kara to be our photographer, but I wasn't sure if she would travel all the way to Boston for a wedding. Lucky for us- she did! Kara made everything so easy from billing to making her own travel arrangements to what I remember being the best "the day of" run through phone call about a month before the big day. On the big day, this woman was an upbeat, encouraging professional. Kara had done her homework and scoped out options for photo in this new to her city. She is also funny and just generally great to be around. While she was a stickler for keeping us on time, she was also stealth! I don't remember seeing her for most of the ceremony or reception but she captured so many amazing shots. What I appreciated most about Kara is how quickly we got our shots back and how patient and responsive she was to my requests for a few edits here and there of the 1,234 shots she took! Wish I lived in Illinois- we'd use her all the time! If you're reading this review, don't think another second, you will not be disappointed with Kara! Reliable, fun, professional, and fabulous photographer!

I am the youngest of 3 and was the last to get married. My siblings all tried to get Kara for their weddings, but she was booked! By the luck of a Friday wedding, we was available for mine! She did everything in her power (including getting up at 3am) to drive anywhere we wanted pictures taken and made sure they were absolutely flawless and we were happy! She's so easy to work with and even made my husband laugh throughout all of our engagement pictures. I can't say enough about how wonderful she was organizationally on our wedding day! She got every shot and QUICKLY! She are over the moon with how everything turned out. You would be crazy not to use her! ??

There are too many good things to say about Kara and her team at KKP!!! Kara is from my hometown, and I'm also an event coordinator. When I got engaged, there was no doubt who I wanted to be my photographer! I've seen hundreds of weddings, and it's very true that photographers kind of set the mood for the day, as they are with you through the entire thing. Kara's personality is one that you would want around on your wedding day! She's fun, outgoing, kind, helpful, quick with large group pictures, and you'll get AMAZING images! Bottom line - you won't regret booking KKP! Happy planning:)

Working with Kara and her team was amazing from day 1! I knew after our first meeting I HAD to have her! She did our engagement photos as well as our wedding day and we couldn't be happier with the photos. The perfect mix of some classic styles that we will cherish forever along with all of the fun creative shots we LOVE as well! She even hosted a "Brides Night" where she gave tips and tricks to a small group of her upcoming brides. It was super helpful to hear all of her insider tips! She made the pictures go by fast and was organized which helped us stay on our timeline for the day. Our bridal party all commented on how fun and easy she made it! Our photos are something we will always cherish and she captured every single moment perfectly. We received over 1,000 photos of our special day! We loved working with Kara and Laura!
