About
Hey, I'm Kari Wilde, a wedding & elopement photographer based in Oregon but I'm lucky to enough to travel all over the country shooting gorgeous weddings. Ok, let’s talk style and aesthetic: As you can probably tell my images, I tend to gravitate more towards the dark and moody side of things. I want all my images to evoke feeling, beauty and rawness. My favorite images are ones I captured during the “in between moments”, when nobody thought they were being photographed. When I shoot, I imagine the images as stills from piece of beautiful cinema. Cinema is where I find most of my inspiration for photography. Which def. makes me the most annoying person to watch a movie with because I am way more interested in how the scene is lit vs. the actual plot! I am drawn to darkness, shadow, light & emotion. Capturing the romance of the moment and the connection between people are what I live for. A lot of my clients ( prob 85%) comment on how they are "not good at taking pictures". Don't worry, I'll help you every step of the way from "posing" ( I don't like that word), to wardrobe, location, and everything in between. More images from my portfolio can be found on my website ( just google my name). You can also shoot over a text directly on my site for a quicker response time.

Kari was AMAZING to work with. She immediately made us feel comfortable, knew her way around all the sites we decided on for our engagement shoot, was mindful of the things we wanted captured, and was frankly one of the sweetest people we've ever met. And on top of it all, the pictures she captured were completely gorgeous and exactly what we wanted. I couldn't recommend Kari enough!

We loved working with Kari! She was very professional and responded to all my questions quickly and clearly. She also helped recommend shooting locations and sent over info about what to wear, which was all very helpful! She was great with our kids too. The photos we got exceeded my expectations! We are already looking forward to having another photo shoot with Kari in the future. Thank you!!

Working with Kari was great! I had a goal (senior photo for my son) but had no idea where to start. Kari took the cues and ran with them, giving suggestions/guidance where others I'd researched needed me to know what I want before making a decision. Very helpful for people who need someone else to just do the thing! Also, Kari was easy-going and responsive, making the whole process comfortable and fun.

Kari photographed our civil ceremony at the Multnomah County Courthouse in downtown Portland and was wonderful! She met us before the ceremony to take photos by the river and across the Hawthorne Bridge (her suggestion!), was incredibly patient with our families in the courthouse awaiting the ceremony, and stayed after the ceremony to take photos on the steps of the courthouse. She made us feel so comfortable, especially as my fiance/husband and I had never done a photo shoot prior! I highly recommend for any event!

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    My rates are flat fees, I don't require that you also print your photos through me. I will provide you with a print release and you can print any of the photos you'd like or none at all!

  • How did you get started doing this type of work?

    I fell in love with photography after my 2nd son was born. I was gifted a camera shortly before he was born and couldn't stop taking photos. What started as a fun hobby bloomed into a full blown passion. That passion led me to start photographing for brands and now I've ventured into family and couples!

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    I've worked with lots of different families over the past 5 years and have shot babies, families, large groups, and family events. I've also done a lot of brand lifestyle photography for large outdoor brands and smaller indie brands .
