Introduction
Hi! I am Kari Bjorn and I capture weddings, portraits, and families. Please see my website for the fastest and most accurate quotes with my booking form.
I studied photography in New York City at Parsons School of Design and have been shooting weddings, portraits, editorials, and doing commercial work since 2012. I have won a few awards, American Photography 35 & 37 in 2019 and 2021 and Hasselblad Masters finalist in 2018. My work has been exhibited and published on both sides of the Atlantic, at The Aperture Foundation in NYC, the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg in Russia, and Fotografiska in Stockholm, Sweden for example. American Photography, NPR, and Dazed have also published my pictures and long-form documentary projects.

Kari Just took pictures for a surprise engagement In Western, NY and did a phenomenal job. The pictures came out amazingly, he was extremely helpful and discussed the plan to offer ideas and insight and calm any jittery nerves I had. He was absolutely delightful and a joy to work with and I highly recommend him for any of your photography needs!

Hiring Kari was the best decision we made for our engagement party and our wedding day! Kari is a true professional and very communicative throughout the entire process, which was a huge help (seriously!), and he was also extremely accommodating and flexible to all of our needs. Kari caught all of the moments we want to remember forever and the photos turned out beautifully. His photography truly is art - all the photographs perfectly captured the personality and joy of the engagement party and wedding day. He was never in the way of the spontaneous, but he still knew how to command a crowd (what a great combo!). Thank you, thank you a million times. We could not be happier! We will treasure the photos for the rest of our lives.
