Love & Milestones

in wildly beautiful places.

Elegant, honest and timeless

storytelling

Your wedding is more than a collection of beautiful moments—it's the beginning of your greatest adventure. You deserve a photographer who will be by your side from the very first conversation to the final gallery, making you feel comfortable, cared for, and completely present on one of the most important days of your life.

Hi, I'm Kari—an Alaska wedding photographer passionate about capturing the genuine moments that make your love story uniquely yours. Whether you're exchanging vows on a mountaintop or celebrating with everyone you love, I'll document every laugh, tear, quiet glance, and dance floor memory with true-to-color, timeless imagery that feels just as meaningful decades from now as it does today.

Your wedding deserves more than beautiful photos

—it deserves a photographer who truly knows your story. From our first conversation to the final gallery delivery, you'll work directly with me. I'll learn what matters most to you, help create a timeline that keeps your day relaxed, and capture the genuine moments that make your wedding uniquely yours.

Your most authentic moments.

When you book K. Charine Photography, you're choosing a personalized experience, not just a photography package. I intentionally take on a limited number of weddings each year so every couple receives my full attention, thoughtful communication, and a gallery carefully hand-edited with the true-to-life, timeless style you've fallen in

“The most amazing photographer that a bride could ever wish for. Very good communication with everything from pricing, what to prep, and what to expect the day of. I would recommend her to every bride looking for a photographer to make their special day just a little bit easier!”

About me

Honestly- I am probably just as excited about your wedding day as you are. I’m here for the mountain views, happy tears, dance floor chaos, golden hour adventures, and all the candid little moments in between. I love working with couples who are fun, laid back, adventurous, and completely themselves — whether that means hiking to your ceremony spot or screaming Taylor Swift lyrics at your reception.

When I’m not photographing weddings, you’ll usually find me out hiking, reading a good book, listening to Noah Kahan, or soaking up small-town Alaska life. My goal is always to make you feel comfortable, have fun, and leave you with photos that feel genuine, emotional, and so you.

  • "We loved working with Kari! She did an amazing job with our wedding, as well as our engagement shoot. My husband and I barely had any pictures of ourselves prior to this since we tend to be self-conscious about how we look, but Kari took the most beautiful pictures of us! She's so much fun to work with, and she's great with communication. If we're ever in need of a photographer, we'd book her in a heartbeat. Definitely book Kari for your wedding!"

    —Kathryn K. 2025 Bride

  • "My husband and I don’t usually like having our photos taken, but Kari made it so easy and fun! She’s kind, professional, and incredibly talented. We absolutely loved our photos!"

    —Katie S. 2025 Bride

  • "She is the most amazing and helpful professional that I have ever worked with. Her organization and planning helped me not have to worry at all the day of the wedding. The communication was easy and upfront. She was very detailed when discussing pricing, what to prep, and what to expect. I would 100% recommend her to any bride looking to have the perfect photographer for their special day!"

    -Hannah M. 2025 Bride

  • "Where do I even start? K. Charine Photography is absolutely hands down the best! I was beyond nervous booking a photographer for our wedding. Within our first meeting I knew we had found our photographer. Kari was very personal and professional. Asking important questions that I wouldn’t have otherwise thought of. The level of communication was fantastic."
