Kara seemed very professional at first she was punctual, respectful and she returned emails etc. on time. But when it comes to taking pictures for your wedding, I would NOT recommend her at all. She came dressed in a green blouse and slacks. W...hen I asked why she made the excuse that she doesn't wear black bc of the Florida heat. I would've preferred if both photographers wore completely black since they are paid EMPLOYEES for the day and shouldn't look like guests at my wedding. It looked very unprofessional and my guests did not "get out of her way" when she wanted to take pictures. In fact I have many pictures out of the 900 that she sent me of her standing BEHIND my guests. My pictures not only have my guests heads in the way at crucial moments but also their CELLPHONES in the shot! This is also bothersome because unless the photo was staged, you can't see my entire dress. A photographer should be in front of the guests taking the best pictures of the night since I am paying thousands of dollars for them. For example, I really would've liked to get a proper picture of my first dance with both my and my husband's face in the shot, instead it's either the back of his head and my face or vice versa. I'm STILL trying to find a decent picture for our thank you cards and we got married early October. She took an hour long dinner break and missed OUR dinner, our sweetheart table toasts, kisses, and hugs with family. Which is an important part of the day and should've been photographed. Instead BOTH photographers took their break at the same time so none were taken during that time. When asked about this her excuse was that "This was the first wedding where I didn't eat at the venue and have what the guests were having." MY GUESTS HAD LOBSTER AND STEAK! This was a destination wedding for most and we wanted them to be treated, not to treat YOU to WORK! I felt that was very rude to expect that they both get an expensive meal AS WELL AS $3000 (in advance btw), I paid her to take photos and explained I could not afford an extra $200 the venue was tacking onto my bill for their meals and that I would gladly pay for her meal from a more reasonably priced restaurant. I do understand people need a break after working all day, but when you're missing crucial shots of your wedding, and the excuses start flowing-it's plain to see she didn't do her job as advertised. I felt that I was not dealing with someone who is a seasoned wedding photographer as she claimed to be. My sparkler exit photos are cut off at the bust and hardly have my guests sparklers in the shots. We got married by the water, there are no shots from the balcony either, and the shot list that I emailed weeks in advance was disregarded. Please contact me if you would like to see these photos or if you would like me to elaborate on the aforementioned complaints. If you read more reviews there is another similar to mine that mentions she "missed important shots but otherwise a decent photographer". "Decent" shouldn't describe the person capturing the biggest day of your life. I texted/called and begged for the raw photos so I can at least make the best of what she took that day and it's been TWO WEEKS since that conversation. She claimed she wanted to make me a happy customer and she has never had these complaints before, well if she did I would have the photos by now and this review wouldn't be here.
