Reasons to Book Me

Authentic Storytelling

Focuses on genuine reactions like laughter and tender glances rather than posed formality, creating heirloom images that feel as alive as the day they happened.

Complimentary Engagement Session

Every wedding collection includes a pre-wedding engagement session to build comfort and trust with the couple before the big day itself.

Hand-Edited Images

All wedding photos are hand-edited personally by Kari in a bright, warm, film-influenced style and are never outsourced to any third-party editing service.

About Me

Kari Joy profile photo

Hi I’m Kari Joy

Kari Joy Photography is a Colorado wedding photography team built around genuine, unscripted emotion rather than posed formality. Based in Colorado and working with couples across Denver, Colorado Springs, and destination locations beyond, Kari Joy and her team have spent over a decade photographing more than 200 weddings at venues like The Broadmoor, The Stanley Hotel, and Garden of the Gods Resort Club. Every collection is built to help couples feel present on their wedding day while capturing the laughter, tears, and stolen glances that make the story real.

What You Can Expect from Me?

  • Authentic, Story-Driven CoverageI use simple, natural prompts instead of stiff posing so that real reactions come through, from family toasts to quiet moments getting ready. My goal is always heirloom images that feel as alive as the day they were taken.

  • A Guided, Comfortable ExperienceEvery wedding collection includes a complimentary engagement session so we can build trust before your wedding day. On the day itself, I offer up to 10 hours of coverage with a second shooter, working closely with your planner and vendors so the photography flows without disrupting your celebration.

  • Hand-Edited, Timeless ImagesEvery photo is hand-edited by me personally in a bright, warm, film-influenced style, never outsourced. You'll receive a sneak peek within 24 hours and a full gallery of 600+ edited images within 8 weeks, plus the option of a custom-designed heirloom album.

  • A Recognized, Trusted NameMy work has been featured on Style Me Pretty, Rocky Mountain Bride, Wedding Chicks, and Junebug Weddings, among others, and I'm honored that couples continue to trust me with one of the most important days of their lives.

Frequently Asked Questions

I'm based in Colorado and regularly photograph weddings in Denver, Colorado Springs, and at destination venues beyond, capturing celebrations across the state and further afield.

Full-day coverage includes up to 10 hours with a second shooter, capturing everything from getting ready through the reception.

Yes, every wedding collection includes a complimentary engagement session before the wedding day to help us build comfort and trust in front of the camera.

Yes. I shoot with a medium format film camera and blend select film images into your gallery. It adds a beautiful, timeless tone, while still feeling seamless with your overall wedding coverage. Shooting film encourages slowing down and noticing the moments as they happen, which I love for weddings, engagements, and portraits.

I photograph no more than 10weddings a year currently. This allows each couple to get full support and focus from start to finish of the gallery
