Reviews for Kari Kochar Photography
I've worked with Kari on several weddings and her photos are really wonderful. She takes sharp, colorful, vivid photos and her photo journalistic style really shines. She's great to work with, very friendly and is good at getting all the family shots you need. It also seems that she provides a quick turnaround for getting couples their wedding photos. I highly recommend her!

Kari was so great to work with! She is very organized and prepared which fit my personality so I loved that she did a walk-through the week of the wedding which helped us prevent running into problems the day of. She really captured the energy and vibe of our day through her photography. It was also a plus that her 2nd photographer was another photographer versus an assistant, so we had sooo many great photos to choose for our album. We'd definitely use her again to shoot another event in our lives!
Pictures are such an important part of the wedding day so my fiance (now husband) and I wanted the perfect photographer to capture the memories. We interviewed three photographers and decided on Kari because she is highly professional, very creative, easy to get along with, reasonably priced and very flexible. It turned out to be the BEST decision! Kari was SO easy to work with, listened to all of our ideas and requests, always showed up on time for our meetings, replied to e-mails / phone calls in a very timely manner and was just always a pleasure to be around. She really knows her stuff and does her homework on sites so she can recommend the perfect spots / settings for photos. We did our engagement session with her as well and both those photos as well as the wedding day pictures were just amazing! She does a great job of capturing the day and taking creative shots as well as all the usual photos that everyone wants. We also did albums from both and they turned out perfect! I wouldn't have changed a thing and can't express enough how happy we were with Kari!
We would definitely use her again!
As any bride would agree your wedding pictures are the most important part of your wedding day. You need to choose someone that you and your future husband/wife get along with. My husband and I used Kari for our wedding this past October, we loved they way she and her assistant captured our wedding Kari also took engagement pictures of us as well. We have gotten so many compliments on our pictures!!!! My family also used Kari before our wedding for a family portrait and they also loved their pictures. We interviewed five other photographers prior to choosing Kari to take the pictures at our wedding. Kari was the most organized, creative, and down to earth photographer we interviewed. She does a great job of capturing every moment. We also did albums from both the engagement session and wedding and they turned out perfect! I wouldn't have changed a thing and can't express enough how happy we were with Kari! I highly highly recommend Kari Kochar, and can’t thank her enough or helping make our day “picture perfect”
Choosing the right photographer to capture our special day was of utmost importance to us during our wedding planning process. We wanted someone who was highly skilled, experienced, hardworking, artistic, creative, and reasonably priced. Most importantly, we wanted someone who was focused but also easy to work with and receptive to our requests. Thankfully we found all of these qualities in Kari! She was extremely professional yet personable and allowed us to communicate our vision while also providing helpful advice and suggestions. With our particular package, we especially liked that her second photographer/assistant was actually another full-fledged professional photographer with their own studio. On the wedding day, Kari was punctual and friendly to all of our bridal party/family/relatives. She also found the just right balance between making sure that she got all of our requested shots and respecting unplanned photo requests by my mom. Many of my relatives were very impressed by Kari and several commented to me afterwards that they don't think she even sat down for a minute to eat because she was always up and ready to make sure that every important moment was captured. We just received our photo albums a few weeks ago and they came out absolutely gorgeous. We were impressed not only by the photos but also by how they were laid out in the album and how they really re-told the story of our wedding day through the images themselves. Since then, we have recommended her numerous times to other engaged friends!
Kari Kochar was just wonderful to work with. She was patient, fun and easy going. She had lots of energy and made us feel very comfortable with her during our engagement session. On the day of our wedding, she was calm and cool. Her assistant photographer was great too. Our large family photo sessions made us hectic and crazed, but she continually worked to regain our focus on each other (husband & wife). She was a pleasure to work with and was very accommodating. Our photos came out beautifully and we are very happy with them.
Great photographer. Very professional.
Kari is wonderful and easy to work with - Just love her!
