Which means taking care of my couples will always be more important to me than getting the “perfect” shot. There is so much that goes on during a wedding day, and I promise to be there to make it as effortless as possible.
You can count on me to capture the raw emotions, the real moments and the epic party – all while being your biggest fan and shoulder to lean on. Entrusting me to photograph your day means you’ll never have to worry about missing a single memory.

FAQs
FOR WEDDINGS & ELOPEMENTS
Most couples come to me for my natural and candid photography style. For me, this goes beyond capturing a “candid moment,” but reflecting back the heart and soul of a couple. It’s reading the room and intuitively knowing when and where the magic is going to spark. This is my passion, and it’s an absolute honor to capture all the emotion – all the overflowing joy – of your wedding day.
I take a very relaxed approach to shooting and guiding couples. I’m here to make space for the special moments and initiate what you may not know what to ask for. But, I also never want my couples to feel like I’m adding to the stress or taking over their day to complete a shot list. With every wedding I photograph, it’s my mission to be your source of calm and your soft place to land throughout the day. I believe this is why my photography feels so natural, because I’m never forcing moments or poses.
For weddings and elopements, your photos will be complete within 8-10 weeks after your wedding day. For wedding portraits, your photos will be complete within 3 weeks after your session. But, I always send over a few sneak peeks to hold you over until your gallery is delivered!
I’m based in Fredericksburg, TX, but I also shoot weddings in Austin, Dripping Springs, San Antonio and the surrounding Hill Country area. But, I’m always ready to travel wherever your heart desires! Please note, there are travel fees for areas outside of Austin/Dripping springs area.
If you’re hiring me, it’s most likely because you really love my natural and clean editing style and aesthetic. Like most photographers, I do not hand out RAW images since it’s not an accurate representation of my work.
We’re thinking about having a small, intimate wedding instead. Would that be the the price as an elopement versus a traditional wedding?
I love shooting intimate weddings! You can even find a few of my favorite intimate Fredericksburg weddings on the blog.
That said, every wedding I shoot is one-of-a-kind, so your best bet would be to reach out to me through my contact form. We can discuss what you’re thinking, and then I’ll be able to give you a better estimate for pricing. I can’t wait to hear from you!
ASAP! I’m currently booking out 12 months in advance. But if you’re thinking of having a spur of the moment elopement at the Fredericksburg courthouse or somewhere nearby, please reach out as I may have an opening!
To reserve your date I require a 30% down payment and a signed standard photography agreement. After that, your wedding date is officially booked!
"The wedding day can be so hectic for the bride and groom and we felt like we missed a lot of the experiences our friends and family got. However, Kari and Jess captured everything so beautifully that we really got to see our friends and family enjoying the day as much as we did and it was so special!
My husband and I both felt that our favorite part of the whole day was our golden hour photo shoot. Kari had some sweet music playing softly and took us around our venue to shower us with love and photos. They made us feel so special and loved yet we felt like we were the only people there. My heart feels so happy just thinking about it.”

“Hiring Kari Creative Photography was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding!!"
“Kari is the absolute best and her work speaks for itself. She photographed our wedding in April and we are so happy with not only how the pictures turned out but also the entire experience. The included engagement shoot gave us an opportunity to meet Kari before our wedding day and get comfortable with being in front of a camera. Once we got to the wedding, we knew we could just relax and trust her to capture the day. She is not only SO talented but such a nice person and good sport (we made her hike during both the engagement shoot and the wedding day lol). I’m so happy we chose her as our photographer (and also a big thank you to Jess for second shooting), she delivered so many beautiful photos that we will be forever grateful for!”

“BOOK KARI FOR ALL YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY NEEDS!! My husband randomly met Kari while planning his proposal in Fredericksburg, and she captured our engagement perfectly! We were so happy with the experience and the raw emotions she so wonderfully captured, we hired her for our wedding & flew her out to Wyoming to capture the most magical day ever!! Kari quickly became one of our crew - she laughed with us, gave me advice, and completely understood my vision for the wedding! I am lucky to now call her a friend and I am so excited to print every single one of the photos she captured & put them on every wall in our house. Keep an eye on Rocky Mountain Bride, because I am 3000% submitting all her images to them in the next few weeks!
Thank you to Kari & Jess for being the most amazing, talented, loving humans!”
