YOUR EXPERIENCE
Bespoke destination wedding photographer based in Texas – serving couples worldwide.
MY ULTIMATE DESIRE IS TO SEE MY COUPLES FLOURISH- ON WEDDING DAYS AND BEYOND.
Because of that, the most important quality marking my experience is personal relationship; the second being prioritizing presence.
Personal relationship allows me to understand your story, vision, and what it means to truthfully depict your love and celebration. Prioritizing presences allows us to create a space for you to experience the exuding love that will be remembered. To allow you to experience the touch that expresses a thousand words. To foster genuine conversation from the heart. To soak in timeless memories and unbreakable bonds with those you love the most.
And ultimately, this approach allows you to experience a glimpse of what it means to be loved by a perfect love that passes understanding.
WHY BESPOKE?
My approach to wedding photography is driven by both a desire for excellent experience and exceptional documentation, in a style described as bespoke wedding photography. Bespoke refers to a specific style of luxury products and experiences that are set apart by being tailored to a customer’s exact needs and vision, possible through a custom-made process. Bespoke weddings are considered one of the highest forms of luxury due to dedication of detail and care to artistry and fine-art focus, exclusively catering to individuals rather than being mass produced.
The reason I believe this is the best approach to wedding photography is because each couple, love, and celebration only has its own story to tell; and because of that, no wedding gallery should be the same. Rooted in truthful documentation and elevated artistry, this approach is dedicated to the tapestry of stories and beauty within love.
“KARA!!!! These are absolutely incredible!! Every picture is truly a work of art. I CANNOT thank you enough for these! Besides marrying Nick, you were the best decision we made about our wedding! I will be obsessing over these for the rest of my life.”
— Alyse & Nick
MY CRAFT
My signature style of documentary wedding photography adds elevation and a refined artistry to your wedding gallery through the following techniques, mediums, and perspectives...
Love is the grand, chic moments, as well as the raw, soft, and often unseen moments. Blending documentary and editorial photography ensures your gallery captures your love in its fullest, complex form.
From every epic exit, veil flowing softly in the wind, sun kissing your table scape, fashion statement, and tear rolling down mom’s cheek. Capturing all of these details as you experience them tells the full + beautiful story of your day in way you can relive for years to come.
01. DOCUMENTARY WITH AN EDITORIAL FLAVOR
02. INCORPORATING DIGITAL AND FILM PHOTOGRAPHY
I’ll capture the nuances of your moments by using both digital and film cameras on your day.
DIGITAL
Digital cameras give the joy of instant feedback and limitless experimentation, letting moments be captured with ease and creativity.
FILM
Film cameras bring a nostalgic charm and a thoughtful process that can result in beautifully unique images with a timeless feel.
03. MULTIPLE PERSPECTIVES
Bringing in a second photographer helps me to capture the intimate, in-between moments on a wedding day as well as guarantee an additional unique perspective and creative documentation.
Drones provide a unique perspective that traditional photography cannot match by capturing moments within the setting of a thousand other moments. This perspective tells the story of people and moments within the landscape of your setting, allowing you to relive the feeling of your grandiose celebration and capture your day in its entirety.
STORYTELLING
Capturing the essence of your day.
Your wedding day is one of the most beautiful and important days of your life. It deserves to be documented in a way that richly showcases the incredible beauty of your wedding and allows you and others to relive the feelings of those moments.
EACH OF MY GALLERIES IS CRAFTED TO TRUTHFULLY DOCUMENT THE BEAUTIFUL LOVE FILLING EACH WEDDING DAY WHICH MEANS NO TWO GALLERIES ARE THE SAME.
Through my intentional relationships with each couple, I am able understand how to tailor my focus to reflect the true essence of your day, values, and love.
My documentary approach also is rooted in the belief that every moment individually tells a part of the whole story of your wedding day, which means I intentionally capture moments in artful forms with the use of motion, perspective, flash, and creativity.
04. THE ROLE OF MOVEMENT
Motion creatively documents the reality of a moment into a single image. From how people are milling about the room, a wave of a fan, a leap into your spouse’s arms, or an evening stroll around the gardens. I believe intentional motion showcases the story of every moment.
Transitions and movement are an intentional storytelling aspect to each gallery I deliver.
04. THE SOUL OF YOUR GALLERY
The emphasis of each gallery depicts the heart behind the values and story of each couple. With intentionality and care, I can understand how to depict what each couple loves beyond the epic and intimate moments of the day, ranging from chic fashion, tapestries of their curated aesthetic, cultural beauty, scenic landscapes, and family ties.
