I am KARLIE!

 
 

A portrait and wedding photographer. Started my photography career in Europe and brought my passion and expertise across the ocean to capture couples in love.

Wife, storyteller and travel enthusiast. As your wedding photographer, my role is to capture the authentic essence of your wedding day and turn it into keepsakes for generations to come so you could have something to cherish for decades. Based out of Chicagoland, I’m happy to travel to a location of your choice.

 
 
 
 
 

  • I want to say I am in the industry for more than a decade, but that sounds too CRAZY! I can’t believe it’s been so long! SO instead I’ll say I founded my studio in 2012, while my first portrait with “that big heavy” camera was around 2008. I shot over 150 weddings, 2k+ photoshoots in Europe and U.S.

  • As a cinematic wedding photographer, my approach is rooted in visual storytelling. Color-wise, I lean towards the warmer shades, while maintaining an aesthetic, flawless, elegant look. My goal is to tell your couple’s story: include the must-have shots, but also those genuine, candid in-between moments – stolen kisses and looks, touches, hugs, smiles. When working with couples, I always strive to help everyone feel comfortable in their own skin, which helps bring out those candid, cherished moments and refine them with a warm, golden edit.

  • The best! Heavy and Expensive. My gear to me is like shoes to Carrie Bradshaw and I mean separate humidity leveled closet, no, seriously :D

  • It’s important for us to get to know each other so you can decide whether we’re a good fit! I love getting to know the couples I work with. To help you make the most out of your wedding photography package, I set up an initial virtual “date” so we can have a chat about who you are, your wedding yays and nays, and your expectations for your wedding photos.

  • Per our contract, it’s 6-8 weeks to receive all of your finished images. The sneak-peek of a wedding day is delivered 14 days after the wedding

  • I’d be thrilled to travel to your location and capture your wedding. From the West Coast to Chicago and Europe where my home country is. Accomodation+flight will need to be covered anywhere outside the Chicagoland area. if you are thinking about a destination wedding, chat with me!
