Associate Program


What is an associate?


This is a solution to an obstacle that sometimes stands between some of my amazing clients, availability and budget.


- An associate is a professional photographer that I’ve worked with and trained, that has the same style as me, who will photograph your day instead of me for a lower price.

- Even though an associate will photograph your day, I will still edit all of your photos and be here for you through the whole process. This includes communication, timeline consultation, edit and delivery of photos.


Can I trust your associates?



- YES!!! I say this because I would trust my associates to photograph my own wedding! I would not hire them if I didn’t think that I could trust that they would deliver the same style, quality, and professionalism as I would. I know that you expect the same quality of my photos, and this is what I want for you too.

- All of my associates, I have trained and make sure to shoot in the same style that I would, along with the same professionalism.


Why do the associate rout?


Maybe I’m already booked for you day.

  • I hate it when I’m already booked and I have to turn couples down! This is a way for you to still work with me, but to keep the style that you love!


Maybe my packages are a little outside your budget.

  • I totally understand budgets, and I want to make sure that you don’t have to skip out on amazing photos for your wedding day! All my associates are professionals and have the same style and focus as I do when they shoot. I’m going to do everything except shoot on your wedding day, so you will still get the same customer service and edits of your photos.

FAQ

How long does it take to receive the photos after the wedding?

I always love to send sneak peeks the 1-2 days after the wedding and then It takes 4-6 weeks to get the full gallery back with all the high-res edited images.

Do I need a second shooter?

Every wedding is different, so I do not use a second shooter for every wedding. Though I am happy to discuss your day in depth more and see what works best for you!

What is the booking process?

Once we decide we want to work together (Yay!), then I write up a contract for us to sign along with a deposit to lock in the date.

Do you use Film?

Film is not included for the Associate Program

How many hours of coverage do I need?

Typically weddings I photograph are between 6-8 hours, and elopements are 2-4 hours.

We want to include our dog into the elopement ceremony and photos, is that okay?

Of corse! I absolutely love dogs and have one myself so totally understand!

Testimonials

We hired Kara for our engagement photos and wedding in May of 2022 and we could not have been happier with her. Leading up to the wedding Kara helped us with everything from selecting the right locations for photos, our timeline, and fitting everything within our budget. She made us feel comfortable and made the process efficient. She gave us access to digital copies soon after the wedding in an organized and easy to navigate website. Most importantly, the photos are outstanding! I highly recommend Kara.
