THE arkansas wedding EXPERIENCE

I believe that wedding photography is done best when couples have a relationship with their photographer and fully trust them. This is how we have guaranteed and delivered incredible photography experiences to our Photography by Karla couples in the past 18 years! When I arrive on a wedding day, I need to feel like an old friend and not like a stranger. This affects every aspect of how your photos will turn out! My Photography studio takes a natural approach to capturing the love and joyous occasion of your wedding day. The day you have spent so much time preparing for, dreaming of and investing in will go by so quickly and that is one of the great reasons to invest in a professional wedding photographer who can tell the unique story of your day from beginning to end.

Love is my one true passion

You know you want great images but what you may not realize is that you need a great experience with your photographer more than anything! That is exactly what we promise to give you in order to get those natural, genuine portraits that truly capture who you are, you have to feel comfortable with the person taking them. The way you feel while you are having your portraits taken heavily influences how you feel when you see yourself in the final images. Creating comfortable, joyful and genuine client experiences is what we specialize in and we are excited to share more about what the Photography by Karla Experience includes!

1. Say Hello

2. Engagement Session

I am sure you are still glowing in the excitement of the proposal and are excited to start planning your wedding day. An Engagement session is a perfect way to capture that glow of excitement and to express you both as a couple.
Our area has some amazing spots to get away and surround ourselves with stunning landscape. If you have a location in mind, by all means, let me know and lets see how adventurous we can be. The focus is on you!

3. ask me Anything

I'm an open book when it comes to photography. Many people tell me I should also plan their whole wedding day. I love to help with ideas and make sure you get something you are going to love forever. Let me know your thoughts and lets plan the photo shoot to remember.

4. WEdding day!

Most wedding days are crazy, hectic, chaotic and never goes according to plan. However, as your photographer, I will do my best to make my part of it as seamless as possible. Before your wedding, we will go over a timeline that should help the photography part of your day so you can just enjoy! My timeline usually starts with getting ready all the way to your reception and exit if time allows.

5. your photographs

Your photographs are taken with the upmost care. After your big event, I will make sure the best images are chosen, edited and made into forever images that you will want to share with family and friends and print art for your walls as well as fine art albums. The possibilities are endless. All of our images are uploaded to a private gallery for you to be able to view, share and order prints.

The Process

Elopements from $2000

Weddings from $4050

Engagement portraits $350

An engagement session is a wonderful opportunity to capture the excitement and love between you both as a couple. It's also a chance to get comfortable in front of the camera before the big day. This session helps us build rapport, so when your wedding day arrives, you'll feel relaxed and confident around me.

During the session, I'll guide you through different poses to make sure you never feel awkward. But I’ll also step back at times to let you two have fun and share more natural, candid moments. The goal is to make sure the photos reflect your unique connection and the joy of your journey together.

It's not just about posing; it’s about enjoying your time together, laughing, and creating memories that will last a lifetime

To truly capture the full story of your wedding day, I offer a minimum of 9 hours of coverage. This allows us to document every moment, from the intimate preparations to the lively reception, ensuring a stress-free timeline and a complete representation of your day. My wedding packages include full-day coverage, a beautifully edited collection of images, and a private online gallery for easy viewing and sharing.

In addition to the core package, you have the option to enhance your experience with custom fine art albums, wall art, gift prints, and more. If your vision for the day differs from the standard package, I’d be happy to discuss a custom option that fits your unique needs.

The beauty of an elopement is that it allows couples to focus on what matters most to them—without the stress of a traditional wedding. Whether it’s just the couple and a small officiant, or a more "mini-wedding" vibe with a few loved ones, there’s a real charm in the simplicity and uniqueness of these ceremonies.

An elopement is like an engagement session but with all the joy and significance of a wedding day. It gives couples the freedom to be themselves, without any of the pressure that comes with a big, traditional event. Plus, it's an opportunity to create a wedding day that feels authentic and true to their style, whether that means an adventurous outdoor ceremony or a cozy, personal gathering.

“Karla was absolutely fantastic! Every step of the way! Karla was so helpful when it came to even the smallest things from the engagement photos to the wedding day. Everyone absolutely loved her and her team. Her photos are amazing, she’s amazing, and her team as well. We would not have wanted anyone else to have for the whole process." - Hannah

"This day will forever be special to me and Ethan for more reasons than one and we were so happy to have such an amazing photographer to share it with and be able to cherish those special moments!"
- Morgan and Ethan

Karla,
You were such an amazing photographer and overall person to have present on our big day. I can't tell you how appreciative Corey and I were to have you there and to keep us organized and sane. Again, I just can't thank you enough and I have many people getting married soon so I will be sure to pass your name along. 
- Emily and Corey + the dogs

“Karla and Travis were amazing! They are not only great photographers, but also great people and we really enjoyed hanging out with them during the wedding and reception. We will definitely be hiring them when we have kids to do a shoot for that. You will love them! - Greg
