Kari is seriously the best in the business. Her work is amazing and beautiful! One thing couples may not thinking about when planning a wedding is that the photographer keeps your special day "on track" and on schedule. Kari is amazing at this! Having been an attendant in a wedding where Kari was the photographer and also having her photograph our wedding, I can honestly say this is one of the many reasons Kari is so great. She is very thorough but will also keep your timeline on track and get you to the altar on time ;)

Kari does a great job directing during photographs and the quality of her pictures are spectacular and can't be beat. She has such a great eye for what will end up looking amazing in photographs. She is very experienced and we would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to have awesome wedding pictures.

I couldn't be happier with our wedding photos done by Kari Douma Photography! Kari was able to capture the exact style we were hoping for, which I like to describe as: elegant, romantic, timeless, fun and fresh. We were blown away with the wedding album, it's absolutely stunning. Working with Kari and her staff was always a pleasure; it was like working with a great friend. On the day of the wedding, Kari and staff were extremely helpful, they provided great support and guidance- I felt fortunate to have them there with me. I recommend Kari Douma Photography every chance I get, because I know it was one of the best decisions I made when planning my wedding. The prices are very competitive, and considering the excellent service and quality you will get, it's well worth it!

Kari Douma Photography did an amazing job on both our engagement photos and wedding photos. Kari & Jane both went above and beyond my expectations in capturing our day. They captured the tiniest details throughout our day that I loved looking back on and remembering from our day. Would recommend them to any of my friends and family!

Kari is AMAZING! Provided us with that mix of traditional and contemporary shots that we were looking for. She's incredibly easy to work with too. The photography was the one and only element of my wedding day that I didn't have to worry about; I knew Kari had it covered!

We LOVED both our wedding and engagement pictures! Kari did an amazing job! We requested a blend of traditonal and contemorary pictures and that is exactly what we got! Kari and her assistant captured our wedding day perfectly. We got our pictures back immediatly! We watched our slideshow she left on her blog and it brought tears to our eyes. We will continue to use Kari for all of our photography needs!

Kari has just a great vision for photography. She took the Graduation photos of my step-daughter and we are so happy with how they turned out. I just love her style. If I ever get around to doing family photos again - she would be my first choice!
