Let me help you remember the best day of your life for the rest of your life.
Imagine enjoying your wedding day stress-free with the people you love knowing everything is being documented with candid images and film that will transport you right back into the moments as you felt them. Photos you're proud of because they're freaking epic and honest and beautiful. Photos that not only tell your story, but are art in and of themselves.
Never Awkward, Just Fun
When you choose the right photographer to document your memories.
This couple pretty much summed it up...
"Investing in Kara was the best financial decision we made for our wedding. Kara's work is timeless, stunning and captured our story and day in exactly the way we were hoping for...and then some. Kara was extremely intentional about making sure she understood our vision for the day and how we wanted her work to highlight our experience. The way Kara uses light in her images is absolutely breathtaking...we were brought to tears by our sneak peek that she sent us during our honeymoon. Make sure you get her album in your package- it is a true work of art, so high quality and again surpassed our expectations." - Emily & Daniel

Frequently Asked Questions
do you offer wedding videos?
I do! I do! I offer both wedding ceremony films and highlight films. Feel free to check out some of my recent work on Vimeo.
What kind of Sessions do you photograph?
My work is broken up pretty evenly between traditional weddings (normally held in Charlottesville or Southwestern Virginia), adventure elopements and micro/intimate weddings. I also do a lot of adventure portrait sessions in Shenandoah National Park or in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Do you work with a second shooter?
Sometimes! Small weddings I typically shoot solo. Big weddings I typically have a second shooter
Do you travel for weddings?
All travel fees are included(!!!) within a three hour drive of Roanoke. That means if you are planning a wedding in Charlottesville or anywhere in the Shenandoah Valley or Shenandoah National Park or Boone, NC or the New River Gorge National Park, there are absolutely no travel fees for your wedding. I don't currently take on weddings outside of that radius.
What makes you different?
- I can seamlessly switch between photo and video when capturing your day
- I'm *really* good at helping people feel comfortable in front of the camera quickly
- I'm equally happy getting up at 3am and hiking up to a summit to watch you exchange your vows at sunrise as I am capturing an epic hopping reception at a local vineyard.
- Your gallery is *never* stiff, but WILL include a perfect mix of timeless, editorial-style portraits and natural, candid moments
CAN WE BOOK YOU ONLY FOR AN HOUR OR TWO?
Let me explain why not: your wedding deserves SO MUCH MORE than just an hour or two of coverage. This is a momentous event in your life. It deserves more documentation, more lasting photographic memories, than a quick one-off.
A Roanoke-based wedding photographer and filmmaker.
I believe it's the little moments in life that are the most beautiful. Your mom's look of pride, the comfort of a friend, being wrapped in the arms of the person you love. Those moments are what we will be remember when we are old and grey. My job is to document those moments in a way that not only helps you remember what happened, but how you felt when it was happening. Because your story matters and it deserves to be documented beautifully and honestly.
Hey there! I'm Kara
