What is the story behind Stout Creative?
Hello! We are Kara Michele and Jessica Lee, the lead shooters of Stout Creative Studios and we are excited you’re considering us! We have a deep passion for the fleeting moment. We are drawn to love, laughter, energy and light. We strongly believe in honest documentation and understand it is our responsibility to document your story, without becoming part of the story. Photography is an extension of our hearts and minds and we simply couldn’t imagine life without a camera.
Collectively we have been documenting weddings since 2005, Kara is a graduate of the prestigious SCAD university with a degree in photography. After 20 years as Stout Photo, we combined all our services into one brand and are excited to re-introduce ourselves as Stout Creative. As of 2025 we are excited to offer Photography, Videography as well as Floral services. We hope you’ll spend a little time on our site where you can learn a little more about the two of us and our team! We’d love to hear more about your plans, the two of you and what brings you joy

Do wedding professionals recommend Stout Creative? Which ones?
By far one of my absolute favorite Wedding photographers, Jessica Moores for Stout Photography is funny, fun, and INGENIOUS!! I love every opportunity to work with this talented team, and recommend their work to anyone who wants that certain special something when it comes to capturing those most important moments!
Jessica is one of the most creative photographers in the area! We are constantly amazed when we see her work. She also makes sure to coordinate with us so we don't get in each other's way during the wedding, which we really appreciate! We recommend her to all of our clients!
I have had the pleasure of having Stout shoot one of my cakes and the photos were incredible. We also are partners of the Carvahlo Family Winery preferred vendor team, She has an amazing eye and she is able to truely capture the moment. I would recommend Stout Photography to anyone looking for professional photos.
