Future you will be so happy you made this investment in yourself and your person — this moment happens once, but the photos will be for a lifetime.

The indisputable, NUMBER ONE thing that wedding + engagement clients say they regret when this season of their life is over is that they wish they had 1) focused more on each other and things that are meaningful and 2) invested in a really good photographer. When all is said and done, photos are truly the only thing you have to help you relive the best time of your life.

Michigan Proposal Photos

I’ll be there to help plan and photograph the big moment + portraits of the two of you after :)

  • I’ll help you plan out the perfect proposal— we can meet in person or on zoom to talk through locations + logistics.

  • When it’s go time, rest easy knowing that the important part is the moment, and that I’ve got the photos covered. We’ll also do a little portrait session so we can capture the love, excitement and the RING(S).

  • I know how hard it is to sit on exciting info and to want to have something to show your friends and family to announce your exciting news! That’s why after every session I go directly home and edit some previews for you to have within 24 hrs!

  • Your gallery (80+ photos) will be delivered to you in an online gallery where you can download all photos (for free!) or print from the gallery store. Delivery time is 2-4 weeks.

  • Karly did an amazing job shooting our engagement! She was responsive, professional, and super easy to work with. She patiently helped me walk around and find a good spot for the engagement. She was able to provide the first 10ish photos by the end of the day and we got the rest of the pictures a few weeks later. Highly recommend!

    Kevin + Vivian

  • We reached out to her for our engagement photos and our session was fantastic! She's very professional, but also easy to talk to and work with. She made us feel comfortable from the very beginning, and we loved her so much, we chose her to capture our wedding day. I cannot recommend Karly enough–she definitely takes her time editing so that she can pull out personal stories and memories she captured through the photos. Karly—you are so talented; thank you for everything.

    Ane + Ian

  • When I went to Karly’s website, the first thing I noticed was her introduction video. It really showed her personality and made me feel super confident about choosing her. Her portfolio was gorgeous, and the style was exactly what I was looking for. She was professional but also so friendly and down-to-earth, which made the whole experience really easy and fun. She captured our proposal perfectly—photos, videos, and GIFs!! Everything turned out so beautiful. You can tell she really loves what she does because it shows in every shot. If you want someone who’s insanely talented and also just a great person to work with, book Karly. I bring her up anytime someone talks about needing a photographer! We couldn’t be happier

    Nia + Sahra

  • Karly was an absolute dream to work with! From start to finish, she made the whole experience feel effortless and fun. She was incredibly accommodating which we truly appreciated. The photos turned out absolutely stunning — the editing is gorgeous, and she captured so many special moments that we’ll treasure forever. Karly has an incredible eye for detail, and you can really tell she pours her heart into her work. If you’re looking for someone to beautifully capture your special moments, we highly recommend her! Thank you, Karly, for making this such a memorable experience!
