Returning viewers: You will notice this is a much-condensed review. I made the decision - on my own - to remove a lot of the personal information because someone has taken advantage of my honest review. A few of you pointed out (THANK YOU) that someone has been copying my review, adding rude and insensitive language, and posting it on other wedding sites.
I only used the Knot in my planning process and I will not post on any other sites.I apologize for the delay in posting since our September wedding, but I wanted to make sure we had everything from Kara before posting. As I said in my vendor reviews, I was a "lurker" for the planning process, but got most of my vendors from reviews such as this - so I want to help others.
This is very hard because we did get MANY great pictures. Kara of Karatography has great talent and that is very apparent in her work. However with any business, especially with weddings, it is also about customer service and attitude. We were very, VERY disappointed with the amount of time that Kara spent on her cell phone at the reception. I know a lot of great shots were missed because of this.
When I let Kara know that we were disappointed with certain aspects of the day - especially the "tweets" that she posted about our wedding/from our wedding - she did compensate us with $500 in products and the products are great quality.
Though I am very happy with the price we paid for Kara's services and the pictures we got, I cannot recommend her to friends.
However, I must add that I have been in contact with Kara regarding the false reviews and she has responded professionally. I wish her much luck in her business and have no hard feelings about our experience.
It is a shame that someone has taken advantage of the great services the Knot message boards have to offer. Please note that even if you see my screen name or wedding date on another site - it is not me. Thank you, and happy planning to all!
