Cranberry and navy late summer Meadow Brook Hall wedding in Rochester, Michigan provided by Kari Dawson, top-rated Rochester wedding photographer, and her team. When it comes to choosing the perfect setting for your wedding day, few places can match the enchantment and history of Meadow Brook Hall. This historic wedding venue is timeless and exudes […]
Kari has been photographing weddings for nearly two decades. Her work has been featured in Carats + Cake, The Knot, Junebug Weddings, and Metro Detroit Weddings. But what her couples say afterward has nothing to do with accolades. It's that she saw things they didn't know were happening until they were holding the photographs.
Karli doesn't function like a second photographer. She functions like a second lead, with her own eye, her own presence, and a depth that surprises people who mistake her warmth for smallness.
What that means on your wedding day is that you are never a subject to us. You are the whole point.
A mother and daughter who show up to your wedding day as two leads with one vision.
meet KARI & KARLI
