I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer than Kara. She was so amazing and made me feel so comfortable (I’m very awkward in front of a camera normally) and actually made doi...
ng my wedding photos fun! Every dollar you spend on her service is a dollar well spent - TRUST! I got my sneak peeks back in a week or less and they turned out sooo beautiful! She captured everything I wanted and every bit of emotion. So incredible.
Kara. Is. Amazing.
She not only is a great photographer and got our sneak peeks to us so quickly, but she worked with me throughout the whole wedding planning process. She helped ...
me make my timeline for my wedding and every time I changed my mind on something she quickly fixed the timeline to fit it. We will continue to use her for family pictures in the future and I will recommend her to anybody that needs a photographer!

d I can't recommend her enough!! She went above and beyond for me so many times. She is truly amazing!!
Kara was absolutely fantastic! Every photo is jaw-dropping! She was so personable; it felt like having a friend with us all day, capturing our special moments. She quickly answered...
any silly requests or questions and helped me plan my entire wedding day timeline. She even had to deal with a sick bride ( I had food poisoning on my wedding day!), and you cannot tell how bad I felt in those photos! She made sure to capture my happiest moments! I am so impressed with her work, I can't recommend her enough!
Kara is an AMAZING photographer! From my first call with Kara, I loved her and knew that she was the photographer for us! Kara was reasonably priced and was able to turn around our...
photos faster than I had anticipated, which was an amazing surprise! Her work is phenomenal, and she was great to hang out with for our engagement session and during the wedding. My husband and I never know what to do in front of a camera and are awkward, but Kara prompted us as needed and got some phenomenal photos! Kara also was very great at keeping the kids in our photos focused and having fun even after they were tired from taking pictures. I would definitely hire her again for any future photography needs.
Kara did such an exceptional job on our wedding & engagement pictures. Her attention to detail & creativity is unmatched. She is so kind, caring & she always makes you feel like a ...
priority. She captured the absolute best moments of our wedding & I will cherish her hard work forever. She communicates well & gets photos back super quick! Don’t book anyone but Kara for your event!
Kara is super kind and easygoing. She did a fantastic job capturing our wedding!
My husband and I fell in love with Kara's beautiful work when we were planning for our wedding and love her even more after we received our engagement and wedding photos. You won't...
regret choosing Kara Cheek Photography. Kara was always fast and helpful in communicating and easy to talk to, I also was excited and appreciated that she returned our photos within a month after our wedding. What I appreciated the most was the fact that during the whole wedding process, from engagement to wedding day, she made me feel like a beautiful bride and worked well to create a positive environment with my wedding party and family. I would definitely choose Kara over again if I had to and will definitely look forward to shooting family photos with her in the future.
Kara was awesome! From our first meeting to the big day, she was such a blessing to us. She went beyond just being our photographer. We are so happy with our engagement pictures an...
d our wedding pictures.
Some people are naturally photogenic and look comfortable and natural in front of the camera.... Myself and my husband, not so much but man, oh man can Kara make us look that way! ...
Kara has an amazing talent for capturing personality and character in a way that allows us to relive the day with all the humor and fun that it entailed. She did an amazing, amazing job of not only giving us stunning pictures of ourselves and our wedding party, but also of all of our guests, especially our grandparents. My 102 year old grandma was our flower girl and the pictures that Kara took of her coming down the aisle never fail to make me laugh and happy cry. (Also, on a funny note, Kara gets 1000000 bonus points in my book because she also shot our engagement photos WITH our 100 lb puppy. She was such a great sport and she managed to get the most adorable photos as she helped wrangle him!)
There are a million positive things that I could say about Kara, but I can sum it up by saying that, other than my husband, choosing Kara to be our photographer was the best decision I made about the wedding. If you are looking for someone who can put people at ease, capture your relationship and your wedding in a unique and personal way, and overall help make your wedding day experience the best it can be- look no farther!
Kara is magnificent! Not only is she a wonderful photographer, but she played a vital role in the smooth process of our wedding. Kara did an incredible job of capturing our genuine...
moments, rather than a lot of posing. She was so helpful and professional from the first meeting all the way through to getting our album/USB drive a few months after the wedding. She has reasonable prices, and is WELL worth your time and money. She is truly the only photography I will use for any sessions!
Kara and her assistant were so patient with our bridal party and family, and her pictures couldn’t have turned out any better!! She really captured all of our personality, and all ...
of the fun of the day in her pictures, I don’t think they could have turned out any better. I would definitely recommend her again and again!
Kara was the best!! Engagement pictures + wedding day were so fun and pictures were beautiful!! She was able to capture everything we envisioned our pictures to look like. She give...
s direction well and also listens to your opinions! Definitely recommend her!
I found Kara via The Knot and absolutely fell in love with her work! She was the first photographer we had a consultation with and we actually cancelled the other consultations bec...
ause we loved her so much. She was extremely professional and so so sweet! We met up at a Starbucks and she even paid for our drinks. She heard what I wanted and put together a "day-of" timeline right then and there. Our engagement photo shoot was included in our package and the pictures are AMAZING! We get so many compliments on them and the way they look framed and on our save the dates is breath taking. She made the photo shoot so easy and fun and she really captured our love for each other. I would highly recommend Kara and I cannot wait for her to shoot our wedding.
EDIT TO ADD: We just had our wedding and holy crap our pictures are absolutely beautiful. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer. Kara is so much fun to work with and we will absolutely be using her for future family photo shoots!
Kara was an amazing photographer!!! My husband and I planned our wedding in about a month and a half and (very) luckily she was available the weekend we had chosen. We planned a ve...
ry small ceremony and reception so we knew we really only wanted portraits and ceremony pictures so Kara was able to offer hourly photography, which ended up being more than we ever hoped for. In about 3 hours, we were able to take portraits, wedding party pictures, family photos, and ceremony candids. We were able to get over 200 great shots, even with the dim lighting of our ceremony venue! Photography was fairly important to me so we could share the day will our extended family and friends that we were not able to invite due to time/budget constraints. We were blown away at the quality and have gotten so many compliments since posting our wedding album! I would HIGHLY recommend Kara for any wedding!
Kara is amazing! Shane and i chose her after looking at many other photographers. we just kept coming back to her work and we knew we wanted her as a photographer.
and just as i ...
expected. She was kind, encouraging, professional, and we could not have been happier with our pictures! She is truly talented and loves what she does and the people she works with immensely!

Not only are Kara's photos INCREDIBLE, but she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera! Kara did my bridals, our engagement photos, and the wedding. When we were looking...
for photographers, my husband would always look for photos of the receptions. He said that if a photographer can capture the fun and craziness there, that he would trust them on our big day. Kara did this and more. She captured the joyful tears, she captured the sweet looks, she captured the family portraits, and best of all, she captured the fun. She made everything so fun and easy. We were so nervous to take our engagement photos, but within 5 minutes, we were laughing and comfortable. The whole process was easy, and we love our pictures. She even sat down with us prior to the wedding to talk about the day and what we wanted. She truly made it all about us. I would recommend her over and over again.
