Several reviews describe Joe and Kari less like vendors, more like friends who happen to also be great photographers. One review mentions them helping with trains and veils mid shoot, not just standing behind a lens. A couple with only 32 guests said the small size didn't matter, they still felt like family by the end. Two lead photographers show up to every wedding, no assistants or associates, which not every studio promises. Based in Estes Park, built around RMNP weddings. They also travel for destination weddings and typically turn galleries around in about four weeks.
