REVIEWS
“Kara has the most amazing eye, an extremely calm and soothing personality, and made a day of taking pictures (which is not my most favorite thing) truly a fun and enjoyable day which we will now be able to remember forever with the most remarkable pictures that we have EVER had taken.” -Hannah
"Kara is absolutely AMAZING! We hired her to do our wedding videography and she completely blew us away! I kept hearing from friends who had gotten married that they're biggest regret was not having a video, so we made a very last minute decision to hire Kara and it ended up being the BEST decision that we made for the whole wedding. I really didn't know what to expect, but she completely exceeded whatever expectations I could have had. She created the most beautiful video that captured the day precisely. I literally have watched it probably close to 50 times and each time is like reliving it all over again. Kara also took still shots of us which she was kind enough to share and her photography skills are equally as impressive as her videography. Kara is such a talented individual and went above and beyond to make sure we were 100% satisfied. If you are looking for a videographer or photographer with exceptional talent and who genuinely cares about her clients and their satisfaction, Kara is the one for the job!" - The Kormans
