The photographer selection process can be stressful. The day of the wedding can get so hectic that you really need a calming influence that can still get people together and get the pictures within the time a time frame while dealing with people in a high stress state. Karin is that person. She once used the term, "ninja" to describe her desire to be present without even knowing she was there. I have come to learn that is crucial during your wedding day however the reason we chose her, and the reason I am writing this review is because of just how beautiful her pictures are. We recently received our first proofs and at least half of them could be a magazine cover or a paid billboard advertisement. They are stunning, and captured the magic of that night. Thank you to Karin for preserving the best memories in such an artistic and beautiful way.

I enjoy photography myself so when it came to choosing a photographer for our wedding, the day that everyone says goes by faster than you could ever imagine, I was extremely picky. Karin had done my sisters wedding and the event was very formal and nothing like the semi-formal "destination" wedding my husband and I had planned. We had explored local photographers until we were guests at a wedding where the photographer was in the way the entire time, very distracting, and not attentive to moments we thought should have been captured. We immediately came home to contact Karin because we were so concerned about experiencing that and I remembered a take away from my sister’s wedding was that I did not notice that Karin was ever even there yet her photos proved she was everywhere.

She was so flexible and patient with us, she coordinated all the formal pictures that we wanted and got the best candid shots. We were so excited and had minimal focus throughout the day so she played a huge part in making it so that we remember all the special moments and people. Along with being so professional and organize she is personal, she came to our rehearsal to scope out the church where we were having the ceremony!! She is an expert with her camera & has such a creative eye for a shot. We got almost 1000 high quality photographs from her in a timely manner and I can’t stop looking at them and reliving the day. There is nothing else we could have ever wanted out of a photographer for our special day.

We've only gotten a few teaser photos back from our wedding that Karin photographed this month but if they are any indication of what's to come then we know they will be gorgeous! Not only are her photos beautiful, she was the most easy, laid-back photographer to work with on our wedding day. She worked with our schedule so that she could stay for the majority of the reception without missing the cake cutting (and without us having to pay for an extra hour!) and never made us take those typical awful, corny wedding pictures that look so forced and fake. We are not picture people but working with Karin made it so easy, we honestly forgot she was there half the time! If you're looking for a photographer who will shoot you on your wedding day in the most natural, flattering way then Karin is your gal!
