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!

Kara was the PERFECT photographer for our wedding!!! I had seen her photos on Instagram a few years prior to getting engaged and knew I wanted her to be our photographer as soon as we had a date set. She has such a calm presence and helped my husband and I feel relaxed taking our engagement photos. My husband and I both aren't hugely comfortable in front of the camera, but she had some great prompts and ideas to help us laugh and be comfortable. We absolutely loved the photos we got back and couldn't wait to see what she would do for our wedding photos! We got our wedding photos back sooner than we thought and have LOVED the results. She has a natural talent of making everyone look good and captures so many of the sweet candid moments that you miss otherwise. We would recommend her in a heartbeat!! Thank you, Kara!!

We got referred to kara by a close friend of ours and i am beyond happy we chose her to be our photographer! We just had our engagement shoot and not only did the pictures turn out better than what we could have ever expected but we had such a fun time during the shoot. My fiancé usually isn’t into taking photos and all he kept talking about was how much fun he had and how comfortable kara made him feel. I will be referring kara to everyone and can’t wait for our wedding! - Allison

“Kara was recommended to me by my videographer when I was in a pickle and needed a photographer ASAP. We talked on the phone and I loved her energy and she even agreed to include our dog in our engagement pictures (which turned out AMAZING). The day of the wedding, she was relaxed and seamlessly got pictures I didn’t even know she was taking. She’s a candid queen. My husband and I love love love our pictures and had such a fun time re-living that day through them. Kara is a wonderful photographer and human and I can’t recommend her enough.” -Emily and John

Kara was a wonderful pick for our engagement and wedding photoshoot. My husband and I may be photogenic, but we’re a bit camera shy & definitely not used to taking amazing pictures. Kara took the time to give creative direction, which encouraged us to just smile, relax and laugh. On our wedding day, her calm energy was much needed To calm my anxiety. During the evening she blended right into the crowd, took beautiful shots of our day and when we saw the slideshow, the story of our wedding day was beautifully presented. My favorite element of kara’s style is natural shots capturing the magic of the moment. She’s creative and frames a picture with nature as a back drop. It’s a special talent and I couldn’t be more happy with our beautiful pictures. Turn around time was about two weeks for picture edits after the wedding (we had a thanksgiving holiday) and I was very pleased how quick that was. We had a pre meeting to discuss our needs and built a contract based on what we needed, and Kara took all my Pinterest vision boards into consideration. She’s a gem!

Kara is plain wonderful. We got planned our wedding in four weeks and gave Kara less than one month's notice. She was so excited for the spontaneity and was incredibly flexible during the whole process. She made our intimate beach wedding feel comfortable, special, and beautiful. She always had her eye on the best shot, and I can't tell you how many compliments we've received on our gorgeous photos. Kara, thank you for jumping on the wild ride of our wedding and for the beautiful candid photos of our family and friends. We're so happy you were a part of our day! - Tory and Toufik
