Never Awkward, Just Fun
Because the best photos happen when you're busy living your wedding — not performing for the camera.
What if your wedding didn't have to meet anyone's expectations except your own?
Imagine actually getting to enjoy your wedding day.
Being fully present with the people you love.
Knowing every laugh, tear, hug, dance floor moment, and quiet in-between second is being documented beautifully without pulling you out of the experience.
Photos that feel like memories.
And happen to look freaking incredible too.
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

Relive the movement, laughter, and voices from your wedding day.
I believe the little moments are the ones that matter most.
Your mom squeezing your hand before the ceremony.
Your best friend ugly crying during the vows.
The look on your partner's face when they see you.
Those are the moments that become part of your family history.
My job isn't just to document what happened.
It's to preserve what it felt like.

Frequently Asked Questions
do you offer wedding videos?
I do! I offer both wedding ceremony films and highlight films. Feel free to check out some of my recent work on Vimeo.
What's the difference between a micro wedding and a regular wedding?
Loosely, a micro wedding is a celebration with about 25-50 guests and is often centered around a dinner party rather than a dance reception. A "regular" wedding often has more people and a more traditional wedding flow -- dance floor, toasts, first dances etc.
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 half-days 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.
What makes you different?
- I'm really good at helping people feel comfortable in front of the camera.

We're awkward. Is that a problem?

Helping people feel comfortable quickly is probably my superpower.

You just need to show up and love each other.
