Kari Sikorski Photography is featured in Style Me Pretty !!!

Style Me Pretty is the ultimate wedding blog, full of wedding inspiration, creativity and ideas for brides. "OBSESSIONS for BRIDES" is their tag line, and you will understand why when you look through post after post of incredibly beautiful and imaginative ideas!

"I work with a TON of great photographers. Some have been around a while so their skills and perspectives are really honed, really unique. Others are new and are constantly experimenting with different style and ideas. But I don't think that I've had the chance to see the same wedding or space photographed by so many different artists. It's amazing to me that each photographer behind Jessica Claire's Photography Workshop, approached the same details, the same touches...so beautifully different."
~ Abby Larson, Style Me Pretty

I am SO excited to have some of my photos from the Jessica Claire workshop featured showing off the amazing wedding details created and set up for our shoot that day! To see all of my photos from the workshop, click HERE.

A Huge thank you Summer Watkins of Grey Likes Weddings and floral designer Lauryl Lane for submitting my pictures!

Maren

10.24.09

Our canyons in Utah are bursting with fall colors! The trails in Millcreek Canyon were a beautiful show of reds, oranges, yellows and greens over the last few weeks and they make an incredible backdrop for fall portrait sessions.

Maren's session was scheduled on a great sunny October afternoon. I loved the color of her jacket and I think it was a perfect compliment to the fall leaves! Isn't it to die for? Unfortunately, it was a boutique find in Colorado... not available here, oh yes, I asked!

I really had fun on this session -- Maren is such a sweet person, and didn't mind hiking around to find these beautiful leaves, grasses & light. I absolutely love these pictures! They really remind me of why Bill and I moved to Utah. It's beautiful here!

Thank you Maren for a great session!

Glenwild Country Club, Park City, UT Family Reunion

10.16.09

In July, I had the opportunity to shoot a family reunion for a wonderful family coming together from all over the USA. They hold a reunion every 5 years, and this year there were just under 50 family members in attendance at the Glenwild Country Club in Park City, UT.

This family was warm, kind, friendly, funny, and full of love. I had a great time capturing memories for them, and was moved by their caring for one another. They were also celebrating an important milestone... the 60th wedding anniversary of the sweetest couple, Joe & Jean...complete with a replica of their wedding cake!

The children were adorable, and I loved getting to take their pictures as they hung out with their families and wandered the beautiful grounds. This shoot gave me the chance to do what I love, and that is candid, relaxed photos in natural light. Thank you Taylor Family!

I love this shot of Morgan & her grandfather teasing each other!

60 Years! Congratulations Joe & Jean!

Seriously... look at those rolls. Just darling!

Jessica Claire Photography Workshop

10.08.09

Going to Jessica Claire's workshop in September was such an incredible experience for me. When I saw on her website www.jessicaclaire.net that she was going to hold her first ever workshop, I knew that I HAD to go. Who better to learn from than someone who's work I admire the most! I think Jessica's images are incredible and she is bursting with talent, skill, and style!

I got up at the crack of dawn and flew to Long Beach, rented a car, and survived the stop & go freeway drive to Jessica's studio in Ladera Ranch. Entering her studio, I was greeted by Jessica herself and a room full of talented & friendly photographers from across the USA! We spent the day learning from Jessica on many important aspects of the photography business, and were treated to a mock wedding shoot set up for the workshop that was so beautiful, we couldn't believe the details! If the Anthroplogie store could be translated into a wedding, this was it! The day ended with a delicious pasta dinner with Jessica & Jeff in their home, complete with brownies & ice cream!

The shoot started with the bride getting ready in a fabulous yellow bedroom that any girl would love, and then we went onsite to the Riley Wilderness Park for the mock wedding. It was surreal to be standing side by side with Jessica Claire shooting this gorgeous bride & groom, and having her answer my questions and give her opinions and tips.

If you ever have the opportunity to take a workshop from Jessica Claire... TAKE IT! You will love it! Jessica, I am so grateful for your encouraging, friendly and kind attitude. Thank you for a wonderful day and everything you did for us!

La Caille bridal portraits

09.30.09

Isn't Lisa a stunning bride? We had a blast wandering the gorgeous grounds of La Caille taking her bridal portraits, dodging peacocks.

I ran a vintage action on this photo just for kicks and Lisa LOVED it! We blew it up into a 16x20 canvas gallery wrap to display at her wedding, and she is so excited to hang it in their home. Doesn't she look like she is in Savannah, Ga? I know! Love it!

Lisa1 .jpg

I love this one! Gorgeous, happy bride to be... beautiful fountain... and a peek of the mountains in the distance!

Breathtaking place isn't it?
