Because marriage is just the beginning for your family.
And every season deserves to be documented.
My name is Cari Bockholt.
nebraska Wedding + Family Photographer
For years, I’ve been photographing weddings. It has been my absolute passion, and it continues to be - capturing the beauty of marriage and witnessing God’s love overflow in your lives.
But in 2025, I became a mama, and my whole world changed. Suddenly, I was undeniably aware of this beautiful truth: marriage is just the beginning of a family. And watching that natural progression from two to three, or four, or more… has quickly become my favorite thing in the world. So, here I am - still here to capture the magic of your wedding day, but here for so much more, too.
I'm here from the moment you say “I do,” to the moment you lay eyes on your tiny, squishy baby, to their first birthday, all of the milestones in between, and every beautiful chapter beyond. Because I don’t just want to photograph the day you become a family. I want to be there to capture the life that comes after.

" She is the sweetest human on this planet and has a genuine soul."
I first fell in love with Cari’s work before I got engaged. I followed her for a little bit and absolutely loved her work.The moment I finally had the ring on my finger I reached out to her for availability because I knew she was the one for us. Cari’s work is beautiful and the true coloring style is what got me. When my husband and I had our first conversation with her we knew she was the one to capture our big day. She is the sweetest human on this planet and has a genuine soul. She is the definition of what a photographer should be! I will be using her for other phases in life! I will always recommend her to my family and friends! Words can’t express how amazing she is at her job! I’ll cherish these photos for the rest of my life!

We had such a wonderful experience working with Cari for our family pictures. From start to finish, she made the whole process so easy and enjoyable. She was patient with our family, great with the kids, and captured the best pictures. They turned out amazing! I would highly recommend Hagios to anyone looking for family photos!

"Her editing style is timeless and beautiful, and every image feels so true to us and our story."
Working with Cari was one of the BEST decisions we made for our engagement session + wedding day! From start to finish, she was so kind, professional, and genuinely wonderful to work with. She made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera and captured every moment so naturally and beautifully.
Every photo she’s taken has brought us right back to the emotions of those special days. From our magical engagement session at the Joslyn Castle to our intimate and incredibly special wedding day, including all the little in-between moments we didn’t even realize were being captured. Her editing style is timeless and beautiful, and every image feels so true to us and our story.
We truly could not have asked for a better photographer and are so grateful to have these memories forever. We would recommend Cari to anyone in a heartbeat and will absolutely be reaching out to her again for future events!

"We couldn't have asked for a better photographer and are so grateful to have these memories to look back on for the rest of our lives."
We can't say enough good things about Cari at Hagios Photo. From our engagement session to our wedding day, we loved every minute of working with her. She made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, and the whole experience felt so easy and natural.
One thing that really stood out was how familiar Cari was with a Catholic wedding Mass. She knew exactly where to be and captured every important moment so beautifully while being respectful throughout the ceremony. When we got our gallery back, we were blown away. She captured all the moments we remembered, along with so many candid moments we didn't even know were happening. We were also amazed by how quickly we received our photos.
We couldn't have asked for a better photographer and are so grateful to have these memories to look back on for the rest of our lives. If you're looking for someone who is talented, organized, and truly cares about her couples, we can't recommend Cari at Hagios Photo enough.

"Every emotion was captured perfectly"
We truly couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our wedding day. Cari made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, captured every important moment beautifully, and somehow made even the smallest details feel special.
Looking through our photos feels like reliving the day all over again — the joy, the love, the laughter — every emotion was captured perfectly. We are beyond grateful for the time and care she put into our photos, and we’ll treasure them for a lifetime!

You can tell that she really loves what she does! Cari is sweet, thoughtful, and so creative! She had great ideas and was also open to specific shots we wanted! We got our photos back quicker than we expected and they brought me to tears! I look forward to using Hagios Photo in the future!

"I will continue to recommend Cari forever!!!
If I could give more than 5 stars, believe me I would. Cari has shot my engagement, wedding, pregnancy announcement, and now family photos with our daughter. I cannot express how incredibly talented she is. She doesn’t just take the photo as you see it but she captures little moments you may not have noticed. I will continue to recommend Cari forever!!!

"The photos were back quicker than we expected and we can’t stop going through them all!"
Cari is amazing!! She was able to capture every shot we wanted and even captured some that I would have never thought of! She took the time to get to know us as a couple, and with that she was able to get the very essence of our relationship on camera!! The photos were back quicker than we expected and we can’t stop going through them all! There are so many great pictures that choosing what to hang around our home is going to be the hardest part of working with Cari… She is so kind, thoughtful and you can tell she has a passion for what she does. We are so thankful.
