Amazing photographer!

Don't think about it too much! Karina is the photographer you're looking for! Pictures and vision were great! From planning to execution was amazing. Great with communication and pictures were turned around extremely fast with great quality. I'd like to add that the government shut down closed the castle we were going to shoot at and Karina quickly communicated and provided alternative paths through el viejo san juan. We didn't even miss the castle with how well she managed the situation and provided amazing alternatives. Hopefully this doesn't happen to you but I say this to highlight Karinas dedication to her clients and the amazing communication skills. And most importantly, the pictures were amazing!! Book her now!

Beautiful Photos!

We can’t say enough great things about Karina Rivera Photography. We’re based in NYC and had a destination wedding in Puerto Rico, and from the very beginning Karina made the entire experience feel seamless and stress-free.

She photographed both our Love Story session and our wedding day, and the photos from both are absolutely stunning. Karina has a true gift for capturing moments in a way that feels timeless, natural, and full of emotion. Nothing feels forced, every photo tells a story.

Her communication was exceptional. Even though we were in NYC, she stayed closely connected with us, met with us virtually, and made us feel genuinely cared for every step of the way. She’s incredibly easy to talk to, warm, kind, and personable, and she offered so much valuable advice throughout the process, not just as a photographer, but as someone who truly wants your day to be perfect.

Karina is not only an amazing photographer, but also someone with a wonderful personality, and that combination makes all the difference on such an important day. We truly couldn’t imagine having anyone else capture our wedding.

If you’re looking for a photographer for your special day, especially for a destination wedding, we highly recommend Karina Rivera. You will be in the best hands.

Don’t think about it… Hire her! 🤩

Karina has this incredible gift for making you feel calm and comfortable, even in the most emotional, chaotic moments. She doesn’t just take pictures, she feels the moment with you. During our wedding, she seemed to anticipate every laugh, every tear, every glance that mattered. Nothing felt staged or forced; everything was beautifully real.

And the photos… they were beyond anything we imagined. Each one told the story of that day; the joy, the love, the tiny in-between moments we didn’t even realize she caught. Looking through them, we felt like we were right back there, hearing the music, feeling the warmth, and reliving the day exactly as it was.

Karina’s talent is undeniable, but it’s her heart that makes her work so unforgettable. She doesn’t just photograph events, she captures the soul of the people in them. We’ll treasure what she created for us forever.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
