Karen’s Wedding Portfolio

I’m a photographer, filmmaker, and studio manager

My friends describe me as an amazing listener. I think this superpower helps me because by understanding what is important to you, I can create photographs that are specifically meaningful to YOU.

I love being a wedding photographer because I get to preserve memories that you’ll cherish. I love capturing moments – the small, big, chaotic, nervous, intimate and hilarious ones.

BUCKET LIST!

My Bucket List: Learn to ride a motorcycle, Drive on the Autobahn, Hug a baby giant panda

MY BACKGROUND IS VISUAL ARTS AND ARCHITECTURE

The foundation of it all began in childhood art classes – Chinese brush painting with Nicole and still life pencil pieces. It was a dream come true to study architecture in Italy. From there, I shifted into film and digital media and haven’t looked back!

I LOVE THEATRE

My favorite part of theatre is getting all of our sh’t together! – the craziness of tech week that leads to an exhilarating opening night, the adrenaline and the nerves all rolled up into one, everyone working together. My favorite memories in theatre were backstage – lights, grip, sound and set building. To me, life is the ultimate theatre performance. All of these different aspects come together for the ultimate show…and the main lead is you! I would love to capture all of those parts that make up who you are.

I’M ALWAYS IN FOR AN ADVENTURE! 

I love a good adventure and I have met some of the most amazing and nicest people while abroad. People have welcomed me with open arms into their homes and their lives and I cannot express my gratitude for all they have shown me. From mud huts in northern Thailand to the Weizmann Institute in Israel, I can’t wait for my next adventure!

FUN FACT: I HAVE WATCHED EVERY EPISODE OF FRIENDS AT LEAST 20 TIMES.
