Hey There!

I’m a wedding photographer with a personality bigger than the smile that never leaves my face. I love people, relationships of all kinds, and genuinely quirky love and strive to capture it with each photo I take!

Connection and relationships.  That’s what we want to capture. While we mainly capture weddings, Kara Kamienski does take a limited number of other sessions throughout the year.

Here at KKP we would define our style as a mix of semi-traditional and romantic/relationship photos. We will take several smiling photos of the couple looking at the camera, but KKP style is more the couple looking at each other, laughing, snuggling, walking, lifting, interacting, and some serious and romantic moments. We strive to make your wedding pictures reflect who you are as a couple and not an awkward smiling pose we put you in. We want to experience you and highlight that.

What do we love? We love details, and little shared moments. The mother/son dance where Kara is, admittedly, misty-eyed behind her camera. The little reveal between bride and groom, or bride and father. The irreplaceable photos of a bride with her parents together, and Mom adjusting the fine details of her son’s suit. The small and quiet moments are just as important as the fun and crazy ones we will be sure to share as well. And trust us, we know how to have fun–be it using song lyrics to direct posing, laughing at our own mishaps, or feeding off your hilarious bridal party.

While KKP is located in Washington, IL–(just outside of Peoria), Kara does travel both stateside and internationally.  Destination weddings are our love!  KKP regularly travels around Illinois for weddings, be it up to Chicago, local to Peoria, or even to Champaign, Springfield, and further.
