About Kara McCurdy Photography

Kara McCurdy Photography

Photographer + Happiness Chaser

I'm Kara :) I'm an adventurer, risk-taker, traveler, and wedding+ elopement photographer! I know that you're looking for more than just beautiful wedding photos which is why my work with you doesn't start (or end) there. You deserve an expert- somebody who can give you the best advice & industry secrets. I know the ins & outs of weddings because I live them every weekend & know the very real stress that comes with planning a wedding. Hiring me means being able to rest + relax knowing that everything is taken care of; somebody anticipating your needs before you even know them. I'm your hype girl, confidant, & the one to open the dance floor.

From the minute you book, we're going to work together to build the wedding of your dreams. Share your vision with me & let me bring it to life with vendor recommendations, a customized timeline, location scouting, tips + tricks, & a best friend to go through this with. My shooting style is classic + candid, warm + natural, centered on emotions. Your day will be filled with the love you and your partner share and you deserve a photographer who cares about that first & foremost. I love the intimate moments, big laughs + everything in between. You don't need to be a model in front of the camera- you just need to be you and I'll do the rest.

    Kara is in all things absolutely superlative. That might sound effusive, but I think it risks understatement. My wife and I had the privilege of engaging Kara’s talents for our wedding and it's difficult to convey how delightful working with Kara is and how happy we are with the photos that she took; language goes only so far. Picture me wild and gesticulating with glee, saying ‘look at this one, no look at *this* one!’ in sequence, for each and every photo of the wedding. I have Kara to thank for that, for these captured moments that I treasure over anything else. To get results like that I think you need to be an artist of considerable talent, a detail-oriented business owner, a capable director of unpracticed models, and to very much love what you do. I can say that all of these things are true about Kara: her work speaks for itself, her appointments are kept, her communications are prompt, detailed, and delightful, her directions while shooting ease you adroitly into your best angles, and her eye catches magic when you’ve forgotten about the camera entirely. Kara is a genius who will get you out of your head and into your heart, she is an absolute joy to work with, and I can’t recommend her photography enough.

    Hiring Kara as our wedding photographer was possibly the best decision we made for our wedding. She was incredibly flexible with scheduling, both with our engagement photoshoot (navigating around some rainstorms!) and postponing our wedding date due to the pandemic. On our wedding date, Kara was the life of the party bringing excitement, joy, and a calm presence all at the same time. All of our friends and family have said how wonderful our photographers were and how they have never seen any vendor quite like her. To top it all off, our photos are absolutely incredible and a dream come true. She captured moments on our wedding day that I thought only existed in my memory. I highly recommend booking Kara as your wedding or engagement shoot photographer! I know that I will be booking her again for any of our future life events.

    I'm still hearing positive comments from our family on how amazing Kara (and her second photographer) were on our wedding day. She was so relaxed, funny, easy going, and brought a sense of calm to a hectic day. As a photographer, she was focused, communicated clearly, and made everything easy at every point in our planning process. I felt like she got our style and personality as soon as we had our first call. We just got our final photos back and we couldn't be happier! Just book Kara already.

    Look no further if you are searching for that special, amazing wedding photographer. Kara is incredibly talented, highly organized, kind, fun and easy to work with! My husband and I were absolutely blown away by the beauty and quality of our wedding photos! I can not express enough how Kara has the perfect balance of talent/creativity, organization and professionalism. I was impressed by her from the start, she is a real pro, and her sweet and laid back demeanor is so very calming on your wedding day! My bridal party loved her and said how comfortable she made everyone. Her photos speak for themselves. I will cherish our wedding photos forever, and you will too!!
