Karen is a Queen

Please do yourself a huge favour and BOOK. HER. NOW. She is probably the most amazing photographer I have ever met, and on top of that… she makes you feel SO comfortable and makes those awkward photos absolutely beautiful. She has the worlds best personality and is so personable. She really wants to get to know you as a couple. On top of that… she is so amazing at corresponding to emails and calls and everything. She always gets back in a timely manner. Five stars doesn’t do her justice… I’d give her 100000 stars if I could.

Words can't even begin to describe how wonderful it was and is still to work with Karen. She is an Amazing person, with a great eye. She was so fun to work with on our day, she was able to capture the many moments of our day so we could look back and have our "ah ha" moments. Even prior to, during our engagement shoot she was so helpful, we were not the most photogenic couple but she did her best to makes us laugh and feel more comfortable with her and taking the photos. Karen has a very genuine personality, you can tell she doesn't do photography for the money, she does it because she is passionate about her work. She doesn't over book herself and try cramming people in. She takes the time to get to know you as a couple or and individually. She takes in to consideration the couple and what they want the look they may be going for.Her prices are very fair as well, so if you are on a budget and want it all, Karen is your girl! I would recommend her over and over again.

Efficient and professional

We first met Karen when she was the photographer for a family member's wedding and were immediately impressed. She is very kind but gets work done.
Our photos got delayed because of rain, but Karen still managed to work with having to be in more awkward spots like inside or under a tent and got everything done.
Shout out as well to her second photographer Melissa who is just as great.

Karen and her second shooter were amazing to work with. I was referred by a friend of mine as was so happy we went with Karen. She ensured she understood what was important to us and captured those key moments, even if that meant standing in a snow bank to get the perfect shot. She also made great recommendations for the day that fit our budget. I highly recommend her

I absolutely love Karen! My guests would not stop talking about how awesome she was and how great she is with the Camera.

She showed up to my hotel and started her magic. My nephew absolutely loved her as well and he's fairly shy. He was also tired and grumpy. He was just so mesmerized by the camera, if she wasn't taking a picture of him, he made sure to get in the shot.

Karen is very organized, she even showed up with a replacement hanger for my dress since I only had a cheap plastic one to get some shots of the dress. Her assistant was amazing as well.

I am just so happy we went with her to capture our wedding. I cannot wait to see the pictures she got and the moments she captured of my special day.
