We were so excited to book Kari to capture what we hoped would be the party of our lives - she completely understood the assignment!

Deciding on a wedding photographer is no easy task – except when Kari Paine is available. My wife and I had an amazing time working with her. From the start, she did such a great job at communicating expectations and ensuring she not just heard our vision, but could fully imagine the execution of it. On top of that,…

Kari was recommended through a trusted friend and we are so grateful that we were able to work with her for our wedding. After our initial call on zoom, my husband and I felt like we would feel totally at ease with Kari around. We scheduled our practice shoot for a month or so before the wedding and it couldn't…

7/5 stars! It was a joy to work with Kari. Every interaction was full of kindness and an infectious energy that made us actually excited to be photographed. My husband and I had a somewhat thematically blended wedding (traditional ceremony, nontraditional reception) and, as you'll see, both distinct vibes were…

Kari is an absolute gem! She is so comfortable to be around it really makes the photos just happen naturally. We are truly happy with every single photo she took. It was a really nice touch having the ability for Kari to shoot with film instead of all digital. You can tell how selective she is with film and it shows…
