Meet Your Wedding Photographer

I’m Kara, and I have been documenting weddings for the past 6 years, and have captured over 50 weddings. I have lived in the beautiful state of Oregon for my whole life and have always had a love for the outdoors and the stunning hills of the Pacific Northwest. If I’m not behind the camera, you can probably find me kayaking, lifting in the gym, training for my next marathon, or at a coffee shop reading a good book with a great cup of coffee. Living and documenting weddings in Oregon has shaped the way I see the world. It’s where my love for storytelling began, and it continues to inspire how I capture each wedding day: honestly, intentionally, and with a deep appreciation for what makes each story unique. Because that’s the thing—no two love stories are the same. Every couple, every connection, every moment carries its own rhythm. Weddings aren’t just events; they’re deeply meaningful, once-in-a-lifetime experiences where two lives, two families, and two stories come together to begin something entirely new. It’s more than just a day; it’s about a legacy.

Whether your wedding is a 300-guest gathering tucked away in the Oregon mountains or a destination celebration somewhere far from home, I would be honored to follow your story wherever it leads and capture it in a way that feels true to you.

a creative at heart and a quiet observer of the in-between moments. The subtle expressions. The way light settles across a room. The fleeting moments that speak volumes without ever asking for attention.

I’m drawn to elevated, intentional photography because I believe your wedding deserves to be documented with care, artistry, and a deep understanding of what truly matters to you. Not just how it looked, but how it felt.

I move through a wedding day with a calm, steady presence. I don’t rush or over-direct. Instead, I tune into the natural rhythm of your celebration, offering gentle guidance when needed and space when it matters most.

Above all, I want you to feel seen, understood, and completely at ease. When you feel comfortable, the imagery becomes more honest, more emotive, and more enduring.

The result is a collection of photographs that feel like you. Thoughtful, artful, and timeless. Images created not only to remember the day, but to preserve it beautifully for years to come.
