About Kari
Kari is a film wedding photographer based in Detroit and is available for travel worldwide.
Always on the lookout for the imperfect and unexpected, Kari photographs weddings and nontraditional celebrations for queer marriers and allies of the LGBTQ+ community in an artful, photojournalistic style. She captures images that authentically show what it means to be queer, in all its wonderful and messy ways. Kari identifies as queer and uses she/her pronouns.
Kari’s photography is shaped by her work in graphic design and her love for movement of all types. Her work has been published in Equally Wed, Dancing with Her, Dancing with Them, The Knot, Carats & Cake, Zola, and more. When she’s not taking pictures, Kari is the Creative Director at Orso Design Co. When she’s not doing either of those things, you can probably find her cooking, biking, reading, or being in nature.

Approach
Film and digital photos that are unexpected and imperfect, but honest, artful, and meaningful.
Emphasis on candid photography that isn’t centered around posing and outdated gender norms. No interrupting your day for photos. Instead, we’ll construct a day that is centered around the experience —rather than the picture— of the day.
True-to-life editing that is conscious of all skin tones.
Pricing
Full-day wedding coverage starts at $5,000. Don’t let price stop you though. If you really connect with my work, reach out and let's see if we can make it work together.
