Malea is half of this adorable duo and my second cousin. Her mom, my first cousin, Kim is like the sister I never had. You might remember Kim’s wedding day, seen here. My cousin and I have daughters the same age and both are graduating from high school this year. Malea and her best friend Samantha have been best friends for as long as I can remember. The similar interests and personalities have bonded them together. And they are both reserved and shy so we are all excited to see them continue to blossom in the next season of college. I love that I had the honor of photographing this season of their lives and we had a lot of laughs and so much in the process.

Karli has been Kari’s creative partner for five years. Before every wedding, we visualize you as a couple, your venue, and your day, so we walk in prepared for a calm, intentional experience.
Kari is the creative director, and since she’s only human and can’t be everywhere at once, Karli closes the gaps. She shoots alongside Kari, keeps the day on schedule, carries your bouquet, fixes your veil, and is a real-life cheering squad.
That’s not even the best part. She’s also Kari’s daughter, which means we communicate without words. She anticipates what Kari needs before she asks, and together we’ve built a wedding-day rhythm you'll notice.
