Kari was a dream to work with! We started with our engagement pictures with her and they were so fun to take. After that we knew she was the photographer for us! On our wedding day, she kept everything moving smoothly from a photography stand point. We received sneak peeks within 24 hours and they were AMAZING! I cannot wait to see the rest of our gallery. We would definitely recommend Kari and hope to work with her again in the future n

Where to begin with what we love about Kari Paine... She is an incredibly talented photographer and beautifully captured every moment of our wedding day. In addition to the planned moments, we LOVED all of the candid shots (she has a gift for capturing those) and she shot a full roll of film which produced some of our favorite photos. On top of that, Kari is extremely professional, detail-oriented, and communicative, and she deeply cares. She helped us create a day-of timeline, scoped out photo locations and answered lots of questions. On the day of, she was a calming presence and quickly adapted to change. Last but not least, Kari was FUN to work with. When it came to group photos, she was super efficient (they flew by) and made everyone laugh and feel comfortable in front of the camera. Our wedding party and families RAVED about her. We can't imagine our wedding without her, we will cherish her photos forever, and can't recommend her strongly enough!!

I was a bridesmaid in my friend's wedding this passed year. Kari is a great photographer and made me feel very comfortable in front of the camera (which I normally am not). She uses her time very effectively, including getting creative with the wedding party when she had some free time between photo shoots. :)
