We curate the memories of your wedding day that are as heartfelt as they are high-style.
For couples who value connection, aesthetic depth, and heirlooms that feel as timeless as their vows.
With an editorial eye and a guiding energy, we capture the hush before the vows. The inherited bracelet clasped with care. The glance that says, you are everything. These are the moments you'll return to, not just because of how they looked, but because of how deeply they still move you decades later.
This is a one-of-a-kind photography experience for the discerning romantic. For those who want their wedding to feel like art, memory, and meaning-woven into one.

vendor and friend. Kari goes the extra mile in every way — never misses a beat, and pours so much thoughtfulness into your day.
She sees what other photographers can’t and makes decisions with care and artistry. The images she gave us? Memories we’ll cherish forever. We can’t thank her enough.
Kari is hands down the best...
sara + joel
in a photographer. I wanted someone who would take honest and candid pictures of all the special moments throughout the day and she did it perfectly. Half the time I didn't even notice her and I was just able to enjoy each special moment. The photos are absolutely stunning. She was able to capture every emotion on our faces and I still cry looking at them.
Kari was all I could ever ask for...

what you can expect
You’re not just planning a wedding. You’re stepping into your future. One your family will speak of for years, and your photos will quietly hold for a lifetime.
From the way your loved ones wipe away quiet tears to the vows only the two of you will hear, every detail matters. Not because it’s flawless, but because it’s yours.
(Though—let’s be honest—it will be flawless.)
You want to feel the joy.
And later, you want to relive it again and again.
