Choosing Karly as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! She captured our engagement session, rehearsal dinner, and our wedding day. From the very beginning, she made the entire experience feel incredibly personalized. She took the time to understand who we are as a couple, our style, and what we envisioned for our photos.

Her commitment to her clients is truly remarkable. Not only did she take beautiful, heartfelt photos, but she also worked closely with our wedding planner to ensure the day ran smoothly. We were so impressed with how seamlessly she coordinated with the entire team to keep everything on track. She organized a second shooter and brought her assistant Lexi to help, ensuring that no moment was missed and that everything was captured from multiple angles. Lexi took many videos of the day and shared them with us after in an album. 

And then there’s the photography itself—just stunning. Her work truly speaks for itself. We continue to receive countless compliments from family and friends about how incredible our wedding photos are. Every time we look at them, we are instantly taken back to those special moments, and we couldn't be happier with how they turned out.

But beyond her undeniable talent, what really sets Karly apart is her warm and caring nature. She is such a kind-hearted person who made us feel so comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process. Her genuine care and positive energy made the day even more special for us. We are so grateful to have had her by our side on the biggest day of our lives.

We truly adore Karly and can't wait to have her capture more important milestones in our lives. We couldn’t recommend her more highly to anyone looking for a photographer who is not only incredibly skilled but also a wonderful person to work with.

Stop wasting your time searching for a photographer and book Karly IMMEDIATELY. Aside from being wildly talented behind the camera, she is so fun to be around!! You'll spend your entire wedding day with your photographer, so you need to choose them wisely. I'm so thankful I had Karly there by my side from start to finish. She's so much more than just someone snapping the photo, she is very experienced and knows how to guide the timeline of your day to run as smooth as possible. Three words to describe Karly is Organized, Professional, and FUN. This girl deserves 100 stars.

5 stars REALLY just doesn't cover it. Karly was so amazing right from the start. Her communication was clear and timely, her energy and attitude is unmatched. She really felt like a hype girl during both our engagement shoot & on our wedding day. She made everything so insanely seamless and stress free throughout the entire planning process. The timeline she helped us put together was a huge help and not necessarily something I think all photographers do in that much detail. She worked so well with our day of coordinator as well to make sure we were on schedule and everyone was where they were supposed to be.

Now onto the actual photos...we had a dimly lit venue so I was worried that the pictures would be dark. Karly and her team absolutely KILLED IT. All the photos are STUNNING. She really takes the time to understand your style as a couple and what you may or may not be comfortable with when it comes to poses/etc. None of it ever felt like awkward, it really felt like you had one of your friends as a photographer. The sneek peaks she gets you are amazing and so fast it was so fun to get to see some photos THE NEXT DAY! We really got so many compliments from our bridal party, venue staff and some of our guests about how great our photographer was and how beautiful the pictures turned out.

If you are on the fence about booking Karly, don't be. Book her!!! I really cannot recommend her enough.

First off, if you are considering Karly - my vote is don't wait. Book her now. As soon as we got engaged, I knew I wanted to use Karly as our wedding photographer. She had captured two of my siblings weddings very early on in her photography career and even then her skill/ photos were gorgeous and fit our aesthetic. Not to mention, I knew that Karly was kind, outgoing, and dedicated to her work. All of these were important for us when it came to making sure our special day was captured.

Karly was incredible from the start, from the initial consultation to follow ups, timeline review, location scouting. She had never shot at our wedding venue before so she met up with us to check it out before the wedding to get an idea of lighting and potential spots for photos.

You know a photographer is top notch when your family members and friends are telling you how awesome she was with communicating and organizing the group photos! Not only is Karly amazing and worth every penny! Her photo assistant Lexi is also awesome! I will never forget when Lexi pulled out a collapsible basket for all the groomsmen to empty their pocket contents.

Not only were we amazed by the quality of our photos, but we enjoyed working with Karly and her team! They helped us keep track of our timeline and really made the day more relaxing and enjoyable for us! Thank you Karly! We love you!

Karly was the best photographer we could have picked for our wedding! Starting with our engagement photos, she made us feel so comfortable and was flexible with the weather threatening rain the whole time. Leading up to our wedding she was communicative, organized and had so many recommendations that we used to help make our wedding planning process easier, she even came to our final walkthrough! Come the day of our wedding she was the ultimate hype woman - her energy was apparent the whole day! Not only did we get the most amazing photos that we will cherish forever, but she truly added to our day and made it so special!

I will go out of my way to recommend her for any and all photography in the Chicagoland area, she's amazing and we couldn't have asked for more - thank you for everything!

If you're looking for a wedding/engagement photographer, look no further and book Karly ASAP. We took our engagement photos with her two months ago, and I cannot stop praising how phenomenal of a job she did. My fiance and I would not identify as "photogenic" people, yet she made us look fabulous and confident in all of our photos--despite it being literally 95 degree heat. I think we looked so good because she is tremendously easy to work with and she immediately makes you feel comfortable. We have gotten more compliments than I can count on how wonderful our photos looked, months after showing them off to family and friends. We left our engagement session talking about how excited and happy we were to have her for our wedding as well. I am so thankful she was able to capture our love so genuinely and her photos are going to live rent free in my brain forever.

If that hasn't convinced you to book her yet, here's just a few more:
- She is extremely responsive. She never fails to respond either immediately, within a few hours, or at most the next morning. This held true even when she seemed busy with life things/moving. I am consistently impressed with her communication and thoroughness in answering all questions.
- She delivers promptly. She literally sent us a preview of our engagement photos TWO hours after we took the photographs. My future SIL didn't get her engagement photo previews until at least a week later.
- The value of what you get with your money is incredible.
- Your wedding photographer is going to be with essentially the whole day of your wedding, so you should like hanging out with them. She is one of the easiest people to get along with and I have no reservations about her interacting/coordinating with any of our other vendors or family!

Make one of the best decisions for your wedding/engagement and book Karly!

We loved working with Karly from the very beginning to our wedding day! She was so easy to work with via email and phone calls and was very on top of helping us with our wedding timeline. We met Karly the day of our wedding and she was AMAZING from start to finish! Karly and her assistant showed up early and were so professional all day. She had such a vision of our day and captured everything so perfectly. Our family and bridal party had nothing but amazing things to say about her the day of and after the wedding. We woke up the morning after our wedding with about 15 sneak peaks of our day! A week later, while on our honeymoon, we received our sneak peak gallery that had SO many pictures already. She delivered our full gallery a week and a half before the date we thought we would have them. She is the best and works so hard at what she loves and is so good at. We are so happy we chose Karly to capture our wedding day and have so many stunning photos to cherish and look back on forever!!!

Where to even begin... I truly cannot say enough positive things about Karly! A friend of mine recommended Karly to me, and when I saw her Instagram feed, I was immediately sold! I loved the vibe of her photos, so I reached out right away to learn more. She was quick to get back to me and we immediately hit it off! She was so welcoming and personable - we booked her for our wedding that same day. We had our engagement shoot about a month ago and it was AMAZING! Karly provided SO much guidance before the session and was always so available (& excited!) to answer my questions. She helped us with locations, timing, outfits, parking - EVERYTHING!

During the shoot Karly did such a great job of providing us with posing prompts and made us feel so comfortable! We were both able to enjoy ourselves which definitely shows in the photos. We also brought our 70lb dog with us, and she did a great job of including him and creating my favorite family photos to date!! Honesty they all turned out so amazing, it's hard for me to pick favorites.

We also have so much variety! Karly has a pop-up tent, so we were able to easily change into different outfits, and pop around to a handful of locations. We finished up at North Ave Beach and it was PERFECT!

As if that all wasn't enough, since we wrapped up our shoot early-ish, Karly sent us a handful (20+) of sneak peeks THAT NIGHT! I was dying to see them, so it was so nice not having to wait. Less than a week after that we got our "real" sneak peeks, which felt like a gallery in itself! I immediately texted Karly that she better be ready to be stuck with me for the rest of her career. I truly love the photos so much and have been recommending Karly to everyone I know!!

Working with Karly was truly the best experience!! From the moment we reached out about availability, to planning, to the day of, everything with Karly flowed seamlessly and felt like it was meant to be.

She was extremely responsive and her advice helped guide us throughout wedding planning. The day of our wedding she was early, organized, and made taking pictures so fun! Karly has a passion for what she does and it shows in her creativity and energy. We got sneak peaks within a week and our full album in about a month. All the pictures were BEAUTIFUL!! I can’t say enough great things about Karly and her work. You will never regret choosing her to photograph your special moments in life.

Where do I even begin?! Karly has been photographing my family for almost 10 years and every single session far exceeds our expectations. That being said, it was a no-brainer to choose Karly as our wedding photographer! From the engagement session to the final wedding album, her sweet personality and creativity was constant. Karly helped me create our wedding day timeline, traveled almost 3 hours away for our wedding and captured every moment beautifully. Her assistant, Lexi, was the ultimate hype girl and veil queen! We received a sneak peek of about 20 photos before our wedding weekend was even over, a big sneak peek less than a week after our wedding and our full wedding gallery on our 1-month anniversary. Karly and her team are absolutely incredible! Highly recommend for anyone seeking a talented and reliable photographer for their special day!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Karly!! Even from our first phone call during our search for our wedding photographer, she was friendly, professional, and bubbly! She not only made my fiancé and I feel completely comfortable during our engagement shoot, but she also captured us perfectly. Our friends and family also absolutely love our engagement photos, and now they all are so excited to take pictures with Karly on our wedding day. She also provided the gallery for our engagement pictures very quickly! If you are looking for a fun, experienced, and kind photographer, Karly is your girl!!

Karly is the best photographer, ever!!!!!! Karly did our engagement photos and they cannot be anymore perfect. Her amazing photography talent is out of this world, and the final product was everything we hoped for and more!

Beyond her incredible skills, truly what makes Karly so great is the total experience you get with working with her. She is so fun, energetic, flexible, patient, and joyful. We thought we had to come prepared with positions and idea, but oh no - Karly has it ALL down and tells you what to do, how to do it, and all so you capture the best photos. She makes the whole experience - from start to end - truly the best one you can imagine.

Finally, this was not our original plan, but we were so impressed with Karly's work and the experience we had with her, that we could not but ask her to do our wedding too!!! We are so excited to be working with her again!!

I am sooooo so happy that Karly was recommended to me by a close friend. She did an AMAZING job making my fiance and I more comfortable taking pictures in front of a lot of people! Our pictures turned out better than we could have ever imagined. I'm so excited for our wedding day now as I'm confident Karly will catch all the right moments :) If you're looking for a fun, genuine and amazing photographer for your special day, SHE IS IT!

Karly is the most amazing photographer! She can make anyone look beautiful and feel so comfortable in front a camera. I am so happy I received her as a recommendation from a friend and booked her to photograph my engagement and wedding! I plan to use Karly for any/all future photos! She brings the most positive energy to all her sessions and knows how to make it fun for everyone! Do not hesitate to book her for all your photo needs, you won't regret it!

Karly did an absolutely amazing job with our wedding photos. The turn around time was so fast, we received our full wedding gallery just 1 month after the wedding. Every photo from that day came out beautiful and her editing style really enhanced the natural beauty of our outdoor wedding. From the very beginning Karly was personable, she made us feel special from the first phone call you could tell this isn’t just a job to her, she really does care about her clients. As someone who doesn’t pose for photos often Karly made sure I felt comfortable, and helped guide me into different poses that created effortless photos. And she works so fast that a 2 hour photo shoot feels more like 20 minutes because you’ll be laughing and having fun the whole time with her. I will forever recommend her services to anyone looking for a dependable, talented, and professional photographer

My fiancé and I flew in from out of town to take engagement photos and make use of the beautiful, summer Chicago skylines. From start to finish, Karly made the process so smooth—from the FaceTime, brainstorming all the locations we wanted to shoot at to receiving the sneak peeks and all of our gorgeous photos! She's responsive, experienced, and just like her photo style, full of life! Karly was a pure joy to work with and made our session very dynamic and fun. A big draw for us in choosing her were the moving gifs she also included in her package. We'd highly recommend her as your next photographer and can't wait until the next time we can work with her again!

Karly is our wedding photographer and we had our engagement session last month and all I can say is WOW! Planning locations was a breeze and she made sure we felt comfortable going into the night! She gave so many different posing prompts and captured our natural selves! I got 30 sneak peeks the next day and a full gallery of 400 AMAZING photos! I can’t say enough about her and I recommend her to anyone getting married, she outdid herself! We cannot wait for the wedding!

Karly and Lexi are truly an amazing team to work with. Karly was so nice and accommodating to last minute changes the day of. She was organized and efficient. I had a super tight timeline and was stressed about timing but Karly made sure to capture everything I had wanted. I cannot begin to explain how happy I am with my pictures. I look forward to using Karly for future life events and photos. I HIGHLY recommend her to everyone!!! My family and friends were also truly impressed with her work and her personality. Thank you again for your amazing work. You are talented beyond belief.

I don't think it's possible to say one bad thing about our experience working with Karly. We had an amazing time during our engagement pictures which made us super excited for our wedding day, but the wedding day itself was even better than we could have imagined! She is so easy and fun to work, and I recommend her to every single person I come into contact with. Not only is she an angel of a human, but every photo she takes is something worth posting in a magazine. They are so bright and beautiful, and it is hard to choose a favorite when all of them turned out so magical. We can't wait to continue using Karly in the future for all our photo needs!

Look no further - THIS is the photographer you have been looking for! We hired Karly for a wedding in October 2022 in La Porte, IN.

Karly is a dream to work with. From the moment we connected for a phone consult, we were put at ease. My husband and I are a bit camera shy, but we were confident that Karly would create an environment where we could be our playful, goofy selves. Not only did she make us feel so comfortable for our engagement and wedding photos, but she also delivered on the product. I've never been more impressed with a photographer.

We had our wedding at an orchard both in a farm and out in the fields. I swear that this artist had scoped out every inch of the property and knew how the light was going to hit (and when) so that we could capture some beautiful moments. She was tactful about pulling us away for some quick shots and letting us enjoy the party that we planned all year.

Leading up to the wedding, we had bonus logistics to sort out, as we are based in California. When we arrived in Chicago in April, we were so fortunate to experience a midwest storm (wind and rain included). Karly was quick to pivot, providing ample solutions the day before. She still sent us on our way with some amazing photos!

Karly is sweet, professional, and brilliant at her craft. She communicates well and often, is highly detail-oriented, and is our forever family photographer. You better believe we'll be flying back out to Chicago for other life events needing photographing!
