I can’t really recall a groom, or any man for that matter, being so excited that they squealed. Like a giddy school girl squeal. No, Bryan didn’t squeal outwardly but the excitement was written all over his face. Bryan was ecstatic on his wedding day and couldn’t wait to get to his bride. Alison was equally as excited but beyond that, she was so grateful. Alison didn’t take a single second of her wedding day for granted. Both of them were demonstrative. Not romantically per
Alison and Bryan, I can’t really explain just how much I had the pleasure of witnessing and experiencing with you both and your families on your wedding day. What a gift! I wish you both a lifetime full of peace and joy and you begin this marital journey together. And I’m even more excited that I’ll see you again SOON!!!

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.

[…] As I was packing up at the end of the night, Megan was holding hands on the dance floor with her brother, Bryan who is one of our amazing grooms from earlier this year.

Bryan and Alison’s recent wedding can be seen HERE. […]
