About

Being from Brazil, my life has overflowed with the beauty of nature, and the joys of life, laughter and love.
There were so many special moments shared with family and friends, like red wine picnic dinners under the stars
on a warm summer's night, Sunday brunches on the beach (everyone dressed in white),
hiking to never heard of villages and meeting new people. In everything I saw beauty and magic.
I bought a camera, studied photography, lighting and composition,
and began capturing all the moments I saw before me. The images, everlasting.
I love color. black and white. cross processing and even infrared I have learned has its place.
As my experience grew, so did my camera collection.
I also love shooting with a Hasselblad and 4x5.
What I love most about shooting and what I live to capture, are those genuine and pure,
heartfelt and happiest of moments with family and friends,
which even if we are lucky, are experienced only once in a lifetime.
That is why I shoot weddings. In all my travels, no matter where I am in the world.
I have never captured anything,
anywhere that is more beautiful than the love I see at a wedding.

To me every bride is a princess. Every groom is a prince.
Every wedding a fairy tale.

Amazing work!! Beautiful

We had a great experience with Karina! Photos, energy and presence were outstanding! I would highly recommend her!! She captured our special day in the perfect way. She was warm and professional. She gave us all the images in a timely manner. By the end of the event, she felt like a dear friend but also always stayed professional!

Wedding Photographer

The best of the best. Karina was a part of our wedding starting with the surprise engagement, through the shower and of course the wedding.

By the conclusion of the wedding, Karina felt like an honorary member of our family and the same holds true 9+ months after the wedding.

Aside from her personal care in making sure each occasion was as special as it could be, the quality of work that Karina produces is second to none. There isn't an event in the world I wouldn't trust Karina with.

Photos were available within days of the wedding being complete and were easy to share with family and friends. The album that was created is a true piece of art and holds your hand through the process.

We are so thankful we were introduced to Karina as we would not imagine our wedding and the celebrations without her. She will be our family photographer for many, many years to come!

Karina was an absolute joy to work with. She responded quickly to all of our questions and at our first meeting, it was like talking to a friend. She photographed our wedding by herself and she got all of the shots we wanted. She is amazing! We didn't have a wedding planner and she set the timeline for our day for us. It was a welcome extra service - because we had been dreading creating the timeline! Her work speaks for itself - the photos are beautiful and she captures amazing shots. There are no words to truly describe how wonderful Karina is - she is definitely worthy of 10 stars! If you want amazing photos of your wedding or event, then DEFINITELY work with Karina. You will not be disappointed.

Karina shot our engagement photos and wedding photos. Both came out so stunning. We ended up using one of our engagement photos on our wedding invitations. Our wedding venue (Malibou Lake Mountain Club) was naturally beautiful, but Karina's eye for lighting and perfect composition really made everything about our photos magical. I've received nothing but compliments on our portraits and some of our guests that have friends that are getting married are already asking me for her information so they can pass it along. On the days leading up to the wedding Karina will help you so much as far as deciding your timeline and what photos you want taken. On the day of her and her assistant will keep your bridal party in line, smiling, and all the while she's snapping photos that will later stun you. We had 6 groomsmen, 2 best men, 6 bridesmaids, 2 matron of honors, 3 Jr. Bridesmaids, and a flower girl...not to mention our parents and 2 officiants...she took it all in stride and captured the day beautifully. I should mention that Karina also shot my brother's wedding, so this is now the second time that she has just blown our family away. We feel so blessed to have had the special day we had and extra so because our photographer captured the day so perfectly and now we'll have these photos to treasure forever. Thank you Karina!!

I cannot say enough about Karina Pires. She photographed our wedding at the Hotel Bel Air and she was amazing. She was such a professional and put everyone at ease not to mention her work was impeccable. I did not use a wedding coordinator and was a little concerned on how I would juggle all the elements on that day but Karina's professionalism and pure love for her job put me at ease right away. She always had a smile on her face and just blended right in to the party. I even had some wedding guests compliment me on how respectful and easy going and non intrusive she was when photographing the event. I recommend her highly!

My husband and I loved working with Karina! She is just loving and so caring and is very passionate about her work. Our Wedding truly became magical once she began her magic and captured every loving moment, which is part of our memories. Karina is the best at capturing moments that make you sigh, we are beyond satisfied with her and her work. Fascinating! We could have not asked for a better wedding photographer.

Karina was referred to my husband and I by a friend - so glad we chose her. Karina is very professional, kind, responsive and efficient in getting all the pictures we had requested on our wedding day. Our pictures are beautiful and really captured the essence of the day. I would recommend Karina to family and friends. Thanks Karina! Elsa and Ben
