Karen is amazing and will do everything she can to make your day special, always professional and kind making everyone feel comfortable. She has done events for many of my family members and we keep going back to her because she really cares about her clients and takes great photos. I am so impressed by her patience and ability to have fun while getting large bridal parties organized and on schedule. You won't be disappointed by her creativity and great eye in capturing the beauty of your most special events like she did for my wedding.

I can't rave enough about Karen! We have only taken our engagement pictures but it was such a positive experience and the pictures came out so nicely that I felt the need to share! Karen is focused, organized, and clear about what we are doing. She eased my anxiety and listened to my ideas. She was open to what we wanted and gave suggestions to make the pictures the best they could be. She is very responsive both via email and phone. When we first met she had tons of examples of her past work ready to share. Her prices are very reasonable compared to others!! I am so in love with our engagement pictures. I can't wait for our wedding day and know we will have the most AMAZING pictures.

Thank you Karen!!

Karen was recommended to me by a friend when I was looking for a wedding photographer. My husband and I decided to meet her after looking through her portfolio. We clicked right away and hired Karen on the spot. Karen listened to our concerns and desires, and addressed everything very well. She did a great job of directing us to get the best photos and truly captured who we are in every photo. When I look at my wedding photos that are hanging around my house, I really feel that they are representative of my husband and myself, and who we are as a couple. Karen even kept my family in check, a feat that is of itself quite impressive. I would highly recommend her to everyone.

We met Karen when she did the photos for my sister's wedding. When it was our turn to get married, there was no doubt we would be calling her, too. Considering ourselves not the most photogenic, Karen blew us away with her ability to capture shot after shot that we loved. You would never know it was a cloudy day at the beach or there were other people around. We knew we wanted pictures, but we're unsure of what, specifically, we wanted. Karen quickly "got" who we are as a couple and guided us to get what we wanted. Her ability to figure us out so easily is reflected in the pictures she took, which are exactly what we didn't even know we wanted! We highly recommend Karen for anyone who is looking.

Karen and her husband, Brian recently shot our November 2016 wedding at Orcutt Ranch in West Hills and we recently got our wedding photos, they are stunning. We had spoken with Karen regarding our fright over not being photogenic and Karen was able to work with us to make sure we look like models.
During our time together, Karen showed nothing but professionalism and gave us her honest opinion our design choices and how that would translate into photography. We had multiple walkthroughs of the venue so we were able to explain to Karen what we wanted and if it would be feasible during the time of the wedding. Karen's previous experience with this venue gave us even more insight on how we should design and stage the wedding. All of her expertise gave us security in knowing that we had someone experienced on our sides.
An interesting side note, Karen comes from a background of Social Work so she is extra amazing in getting around sticky family situations such as mother in law, daughter relationships, or family members that just aren't into one another. She can also be the bad guy if you let her know who you don't want photos with and have a better way of explaining that too the way too friendly uncle or aunt. So if you have a hard time saying no, Karen is the person for you. Since she has this background, she is extra great at photographing people with disabilities as she is super patient. My brother is nonverbal and Karen was able to work with him to get a few shots for our family albums.
Another great thing about Karen is that she is super flexible! About a week prior to the event, we had to add some time to our package in order to capture some getting ready photos for the bride. Karen was able to accommodate us with that request. In addition to that, our wedding ended a bit early due to the rental company showing up early so she threw in a photo book to make up the difference. Amazing.
If you're looking for a photographer, look no further! Karen Leah Is the 1

My husband and I are so blessed that we had Karen and Brian capture our wedding. From the moment we met Karen, it just clicked and we knew she would be our photographer. We were so impressed with our engagement photos, that we were positive our wedding portraits would be stunning - and they were! We felt so comfortable with the two of them, and ladies, let me tell you, that is so important with your photographer! You're going to be spending practically your entire wedding day with them so you have to feel comfortable!

They were so accommodating to our requests and Karen was the utmost professional when dealing with all our vendors and our family members. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer - she's the best!

The BEST wedding planning decision I made!! Karen is professional, funny, easy going and communicates well. She is highly creative and provides an extraordinarily personal experience!! The little touches that I toiled over to provide my personal touch to our wedding and reception were not missed by her keen eye. So many things about our wedding day were just a blur, Karen captured these precious little things and intimate moments. Thank you again Karen for your care and attention to detail. It makes such a difference!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

We worked with Karen on an unusual and fun wedding. The bride and groom had their wedding on the Queen Mary during the Halloween Haunt and the whole wedding was Halloween themed. We had so much fun and Karen captured every detail. There were so many visually interesting things to see that we were amazed she was able to catch them all. Karen was very easy to work with and had great energy all night. The bride asked that all of the vendors dress up in costume as well as the guests and Karen did her part and dressed up as well which I know can be difficult for photographers. We would love to work with her again in the future.
