Kara is so incredible!! She kept me so calm on my wedding day and she actually had our whole group AHEAD of schedule before the ceremony, which was amazing. It gave us time to relax so we didn't feel rushed going into the ceremony. I also appreciated that she captured all of the moments and pictures we wanted but I did not feel like she was following me around. She is super efficient and organized - she asked detailed questions ahead of our wedding day to make sure we got every variation of pictures with family. I have already recommended her to any friends getting married in San Diego. We will forever treasure our wedding photos thanks to Kara!!! <3

My wife and I hired Kara for our engagement photos and wedding in May of 2022 and we could not have been happier with her. Leading up to the wedding Kara helped us with everything from selecting the right locations for photos, our timeline, and fitting everything within our budget. On the big day she made us feel comfortable and made the process efficient. She gave us access to digital copies soon after the wedding in an organized and easy to navigate website. Most importantly, the photos are outstanding! I highly recommend Kara.

Kara is an all star photographer that you should absolutely hire for your photo needs! After seeing her portfolio, I knew I needed her to photograph my wedding. She takes amazing photos and provides great direction for her subjects. On top of that, she was also so communicative and provided great guidance on photo locations. She also made my fiance and I feel really special and connected during both our engagement shoot and at our wedding. After our wedding, it was so wonderful to wake up the next day and see that she had already sent a few sneak peek photos. She has earned herself lifelong fans in us, and we will absolutely be hiring her for any other photographer needs we have! Thank you, Kara!

I'm so thankful my husband and I found Kara. I knew within the first five minutes of our engagement shoot that she was the perfect photographer for us. She made us feel so comfortable and at ease. I actually screamed when I saw how good our engagement shoot turned out. When our wedding came around I felt so confident that Kara had it handled and turns out "having it handled" was an understatement. All of our photos are STUNNING - I've had multiple people compliment me on them, she made the day look even more magical. She works quickly and efficiently - we only spent 10-15 min taking bride/groom photos after the ceremony but have like 20 amazing shots. I also appreciated that she captured a lot of the in between moments; shots of our guests during the ceremony, the dance floor, speech reactions, etc. - I truly feel like we have moments captured of every minute of the day. She completely captured the energy and vibe of the day. So book Kara - you won't regret it!

I am so happy that we hired Kara as our wedding photographer. Originally, we booked with her to shoot at our large wedding, but eventually had to alter plans once the pandemic hit. Kara was super responsive, flexible, and understanding about us not knowing what our plans were. My husband and I are pretty awkward with photos & PDA, so the engagement shoot she provided really helped get to know her and be more comfortable with the camera. We eventually decided to have a "microwedding" and we were so happy with how the photos turned out. She captured so many raw emotions in that perfect day & she was really quick to turn the photos around. We got so many compliments from our family and friends on the photos we shared!

Hire Kara! She was so much fun to work with and really made us feel comfortable throughout our engagement shoot and then of course on our wedding day. She moves super quickly, but I really liked that about her process because you couldn't spend time over thinking anything, instead you are just living in the moment and having fun and that is exactly what her pictures show. Thank you Kara for our amazing photos that we will cherish for a lifetime!

Did we just become best friends??!! That’s how we felt after meeting Kara! We LOVE, Kara! Not enough words to describe my appreciation for this gal- not only is she a total professional and provides you with extensive knowledge but is so incredibly personable. After suffering the devastating loss of my father at the beginning of this year we were having a really hard time moving forward with our wedding planning process. On a whim (and I’m convinced some heavenly angel help from my dad), I looked at the forecast in Lake Cuyumaca and there was going to be snow on a random Thursday in March. If we are having a December wedding- wouldn’t you want snow photos too? Well my best friend had sent me her contact information and next thing I know I’m calling her on my lunch break and we are hatching a plan to play hooky with her in a couple of days and get up there for some photos. After a treacherous journey and way more snow than we imagined we made it up there and shot super quickly since I was totally frozen. Kara was such a trooper and had us laughing and made us so comfortable. We absolutely loved our time with her and the photos were proof of that! My fiancé and I both said how happy we were in that moment and she lit the fire for us summoning our strength to start planning again. If you need a photographer to capture your love, energy, and hope for your future ahead - look no farther!

I made the best decision ever booking Kara for my engagement and wedding photos. I love her style, editing and vibe - our photos turned out amazing and we could not be more thrilled!! Kara was professional, easy to work with, and made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process. She was also so understanding throughout COVID and was super accommodating. Everyone has been messaging me and commenting how amazing our photos turned out - thank you SO much Kara, I can't wait to get these printed and framed for our home.

“Kara is an extremely talented photographer and so fun and easy to work with! She shot my husband and I’s desert wedding and the photos were absolutely stunning! The second my husband and I got engaged, we knew we wanted her to be our wedding photographer. She is so amazing to work with, great with communication and was extremely quick to send us our wedding photos. Can I mention again how talented she is! I could go on and on. I would highly recommend her to anyone searching for a photographer. We are so happy to have had her as our wedding photographer and we treasure every moment captured by her.” - Meredith + Anthony

Kara is an amazing photographer with an incredibly calming presence! We loved working with Kara from our engagement shoot to our wedding day. We highly recommend her to any brides looking for a stress free photographer to help you feel relaxed on your big day. Kara is a great communicator and she turned around our beautiful wedding photos quickly so we could relive the day without waiting months. I highly recommend Kara to anyone looking for great photos with a natural feel and a photographer who makes them feel comfortable on their wedding day.
