THE
EXPERIENCE
What to Expect
▼
From start to finish my goal is to give you a comfortable, intentional, and comprehensive experience. I'm both professional and approachable. Taking care to lead with empathy and creativity in all I do. If you are looking for emotion-led photography with a documentary approach, I am the photographer for you. I am here to guide you each step of the way. During your wedding day I will be a careful and intentional observer, only stepping in when needed for an unobtrusive, candid, and honest approach. What you will walk away with is the ability to simply enjoy your day, not worrying about "the shot list".
SO, What does this look like?
01
EMPATHY-LED documentation centered in TRUST.
Let's start by getting to know each other. All clients meet me via Facetime or Zoom before signing their contracts. To me, you are not just another client.
02
Customized packages to fit YOUR needs instead of a generic price list.
On that introduction call, I will get to know your personal vision and needs so I can create the perfect package for you. Never charging you for things you don't need or leaving out things that will make your photos better.
03
6+ years of experience in events & weddings.
I pride myself on being professional AND a human. I am often told my presence put my couples at ease during, what can be, a very chaotic day. Let's ditch the chaos and be present, together.
04
Shot lists be DAMNED. Why put yourself, and your photos, in a box?
Unless it's the family photos, I prefer to ditch the shot lists! This ensures I (and you both) can be fully present on your wedding day. Not worrying about a shot list means I can carefully observe and catch the best moments without limits.
05
A documentary love letter to your day. These photos should LAST.
My biggest goal? Document the this day with all the love and care it deserves, giving you photos that last a lifetime. Memories that don't fade with time but, instead age like fine wine.
What makes me different from other vendors?
In a world full of surface-level connections, I want to really SEE you. Empathy-led documentation requires trust from my clients.
That's where the magic happens.
Don't worry, I won't put you to work with corny questionnaires or surface level text messages. I will be intentional with your time and ensure that I foster an environment of trust, empathy, and honesty. It's about allowing me to really see you.
This is what sets me apart.
"I am so thankful for Karson and her talent. I will never trust anyone else to capture us."
Absolutely blown away and cannot stop crying. These have so much emotion and bring me so much JOY.

“We were genuinely smiling the whole time. Karson is the best.”
We definitely recommend her to anyone and EVERYONE! We love how every single picture turned out. She is the best hype girl!
Alexi & Morgan
“Kars is present & intentional. She was able to capture the essence of our day.”
She was so helpful throughout the entire process with location scouting and timing. She was insightful, not overbearing, as we made our plans.
