Kari has been capturing weddings for nearly two decades. Her work has been featured in Carats & Cake, The Knot, Detroit Wedding Magazine, and Junebug Weddings. But the thing her couples remember isn't the accolades. It's how calm the room felt when she walked in.

Karli is her third child and second daughter. On a wedding day she is the quiet infrastructure that keeps everything moving — equipment, coverage, timeline, presence. She doesn't function like a second photographer. She functions like a second lead.
Together, they are rooted in the Midwest and trusted far beyond it.

A mother and daughter. Two leads who have spent years learning how to disappear into a wedding day so you can fully inhabit yours.
