Weddings are moments when all your loved ones gather in one place, celebrating your story. It's a time to step back, relax, and let others handle the details while you enjoy the day.
My team and I capture your day through both candid and editorial shots, ensuring every detail is documented while you focus on what matters most: the memories and emotions. The average client spends $5,600 on their photography with me.

Our team loves being both interactive and discreet throughout the wedding day. There will be parts of the wedding day when we will need to be in control in order to accomplish everything that needs to be done while staying on schedule. There will also be moments when you shouldn’t even know that we're there. (The ceremony, during dances and toasts, etc.) We teach our couples how to pose, model and interact during their portrait time to create beautiful memories where they are having fun.
Frequently Asked WEDDING Questions
Once we have answered any questions you may have and you have decided that our Wedding Experience is exactly what you’re looking for on your wedding day, the next step is a booking proposal. We will create an online proposal that will walk you through the package and when you’re ready you can save your date by signing your contract and paying your retainer online.
We totally understand! If you’d prefer your planner to manage the details, we’re happy to work with them directly to ensure everything runs smoothly. However, I do recommend at least one meeting with me—especially if you don’t do an engagement session. This helps me get to know you better, so when portrait time arrives on your wedding day, I’ll know how the two of you interact, ensuring the photos reflect your natural connection.
We love it when our couples ask us to photograph them in a location that means something special to them! we recommend booking engagement sessions no less than 3 months from your wedding date to avoid stress. Our engagement sessions are captured by a Kara Hanes team member with you in mind. This could mean one located closer to you whether it's Kara herself or one of the associates.
You’ll receive your images in an online gallery that you can easily share with family and friends. This gallery comes with a personal usage license, giving you the freedom to enjoy and share your photos. On average, couples receive about 75 images per hour of coverage.
For most weddings, 8–10 hours of coverage is standard for a full day. However, if your ceremony is longer than an hour and your celebration takes place across multiple locations, you may find that adding an extra hour or two is helpful. We’ll review this together during your timeline meeting to make sure your coverage fits your day.
Sometimes wedding venues want vendors to show proof of liability insurance (A COI- Certificate of Insurance Liability) If your venue needs this please give us a minimum of 48 business hours to provide it to your venue.
I get the question a lot so I'm happy to answer it for you. Based on your selection you will be required to pay a 30% retainer upon booking and the remaining balance is due 2 weeks prior to your date. All of our couples are able to log into a client portal and apply any amount big or small prior to that two weeks. If they want to drop a certain amount of money every so often that is at their discretion. Checks would need to be received on or before that due date however an electronic payment is an option.
Some of our associate photographers carry a remote pilots license but not all of them. This is a complimentary service if you get one of these associates for your wedding but factors could vary based on weather and location.
I’m very transparent with my pricing, and it’s always available to you. Please note that prices may change throughout the year. To lock in a price point, an official booking must be made. Request my pricing here.
