"I am SO in love with each and every picture from our wedding. From all of the detail pictures -- which I especially love because as a busy bride the day of the wedding, I didn't get to see how everything turned out; to the bridal party pictures -- it makes me smile so big when I look at my bridesmaids and I together, and laugh so hard every time I see the guys together (typical and so them!); to the family portraits -- which I seriously cannot get enough of. We've never looked so good! And last, but definitely not least, to the pictures of Eric and I as husband and wife -- you could not have made two awkward/weird kids look better! Knowing just how strange we can be, I was a little worried that they might not turn out as good as someone hopes their wedding pictures turn out, but they far surpass my expectations."

"Thank you for allowing us to be our goofy selves and somehow making our pictures together look elegant and effortless."

"Not only did she get every picture I asked for, she caught so many sweet moments throughout the night. My dad even commented that he never realized she was there and yet her lens was everywhere. We have received so many compliments on our photos and can’t stop patting ourselves on the back for making the right choice."

"By the day of our wedding she felt like an old friend."

sarah + eric

"My family loves you, you made both Christopher and I comfortable throughout the whole entire day and when in front of your camera. I sound like a broken record I am sure but every kind and thoughtful word in the dictionary should have a picture of you next to it. It's a blessing having your friendship and cannot wait to see where the years unfold!" 

"From the bottom of my heart, Kari you are a forever friend."

molly + christopher

"I could not have asked for a more professional, personable, thoughtful, and prepared photographer for our magical day! She made every moment look and feel beyond special, and I am going to love and cherish our memories, that she so perfectly captured for us, for years and years to come!! THANK YOU Kari Dawson, we love you!!"

"I am so thankful for our wonderful wedding photographer!!"

jackie + josh

"Kari was able to capture the sweetest moments that I had no idea she was even shooting; the pictures she took for us are truly one of our most prized possessions now. I love that I look around our home and see the photos she took everywhere. We received endless complements on our photos and on how professional Kari and her team was the day of the wedding. Kari, Christopher & I can't thank you enough or speak highly enough of you, much love!!"

"She is full of lovely surprises and made us feel so comfortable." 

Kimberly + christopher

Her photography is organic – pure and raw. Her grace and free spirit make it so easy and so comfortable to be in front of the camera. She makes you feel so special and so loved, and that in and of itself is such a lovely gift to have. Kari is everything we ever wanted (and then some) in a photographer, but also a huge inspiration to us. She has the most amazing love story. My husband and I not only gained a lifelong friend but we also gained an endless amount of admiration for her. She doesn’t even understand the beautiful handprint she left on our hearts, so thank you, Kari! Your photographs are stunning but you are far more beautiful inside and out. Thank you for being with us on our wedding day. We love you.

"She has this incredible, unexplainable ability to capture the most breathtaking moments." 

kayte + charlie

We looked at quite a few wedding photographers, but always had our hearts set on Kari as soon as we saw her photos. Once we met Kari, it was game over. She is so organized and thorough. Kari took care of everything, but did so in such a calming way! Who knew our photographer would also be the calming voice we needed on our wedding day!

"We couldn't be happier with our wedding photos!"

Alison + bryan

I wish I could give Kari 10 stars because that's how many she deserves! She captured every moment of our wedding beautifully and was definitely our favorite vendor from our wedding. She is amazingly talented, professional, and also very sweet! 

"Wish I could give Kari 10 stars!"

Lauren + chase

"You have been our favorite part of wedding planning. You are a treasure. Your work is beautiful and we will treasure these memories the rest of our lives. Thank you so much for giving us the wedding photos of our dreams." 

"You are a treasure..." 

SARAH + BOB

"I don't even know where to begin with Kari. She was INCREDIBLE and far exceeded our expectations in every regard. She demonstrated thoughtfulness in her unexpected mailed gifts both prior to and after the wedding. She demonstrated professionalism in her communication, timeliness, and god-given talent. She captured every moment of our special day perfectly and we feel so lucky to have photographs that help us relive our wedding day over and over again. We are forever grateful for her work. She is the photographer you need and I don't have enough good things to say about her."

"She was incredible..." 

Cecily + jonathan

"I can’t even put into words how much I appreciated Kari on our wedding day! Not only is her work breathtaking, she has a quality that puts you right at ease. The morning of my wedding I was so nervous, but Kari requested details upfront that allow her to assist you through the day. All the people in my wedding party commented how kind and fun Kari was, as well as her Faith and Elle. Thank you Kari for the incredibly beautiful images that make me want to live our wedding day over and over!"

"The photos make me want to live our wedding day over and over..." 

Erica + bryan

"Kari is SO deserving of all these 5 star reviews; she was truly instrumental in helping us turn our wedding dreams into a reality! Kari is both extremely organized and on top of things, but also so sweet she makes you feel like you've known her for years. This was a perfect combination for us because she made me feel like we were in good hands from a planning perspective and helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera. I was blown away by the quality of our wedding photos and know we will cherish them forever."

"I know we will cherish them forever..."
