  We were referred to Karen by a friend of my husband's, and I cannot even begin to say how thankful we are for that. Karen is amazing. From the very first meeting, she was awesome. it felt like I was talking to a friend, which was so helpful to me, and put me at ease. She took the time to meet us at the farm we had our wedding at, just so she could the layout. The day of the wedding she was like a god send to me. Everything was so crazy around me, and she was awesome at calming me down, and so helpful when there was a dress issue. I really can't thank her enough. Her 2nd shooter was equally as awesome with the guys before the wedding. She got the photos back to me 6 days after the wedding, which may be some sort of record. They are gorgeous. After seeing a few sneak peeks, I thought the rest of them couldn't be as beautiful but I was so wrong. The shots with the sunset, and the sparklers are amazing. Not only that, but she managed to capture those great candid shots that get missed too often. We could be any happier with all of the photos. Absolutely perfect.

  Karen Rybinski was exceptional in every way. Not only highly professional but made taking pictures fun for eveyone. We found her choice of photos artistic and creative. She was warm and friendly to all yet managed to get all the photos we wanted even though it meant managing a family of 30 brothers, sisters, spouses and parents. We were extremely pleased with the results. She is responsive to questions, suggestions and requests. We would hire her again.

  Karen was absolutely awesome. She went above and beyond on my wedding day. My husband and I could not be more pleased with her services. Our caterer didn't show and Karen was even on the phone with her other business trying to help us. I would HIGHLY recommend her and plan to use her in the future.

  Karen was an amazing photographer. She contacted us to make sure she knew the itinerary for the big day. We were able to see our pictures online right away and she had our pictures on a CD mailed to us right away also. She was so much fun to work with and took gorgeous pictures!

  Karen was wonderful. Originally there was no plan for pre-wedding photographs, but she arrived early and kindly took wonderful "getting ready" photos of my sister and me as well as of my husband waiting for the ceremony to begin. My husband and I could not have been happier with Karen's service and quality of photography. Highly recommended!

  Karen was the best! I was referred to her through a friend because we were on a strict budget. From the day that she traveled almost an hour just to meet with my husband and I until the day she shipped us our wedding album, she was very professional. On the day of our wedding she was on time and worked diligently with every picture that was taken. She remembered every pose that we wanted to be taken and was patient within the hecticness of the day. After our wedding was complete she only took approximately 2-3 weeks to complete our wedding album. Not only that, she allowed me to preview the album on a website prior to her printing the hard copy of the album. I greatly appreciated that because that allowed me to say exactly how I wanted the pictures to be arranged in our album. We received our album faster than expected (within a month of our wedding day) and many people were in awe at how beautiful our pictures were. People could not stop talking about how beautiful our pictures were and we referred her to several potential clients. I will definitely use Karen again. Her personality alone is contagious! :) Oh, and her pricing is to die for! I have never seen so much included in a wedding package for the price that she offered us. I wouldn't trade it for the world!Thank you Karen for giving us a gift we can cherish for a lifetime.

  CANNOT USE A CAMERA. You will receive QUANTITY but not quality here. We choose Karen because she was reasonable and we had a small wedding (30 people). Besides the fact that she does not have an "eye" for photography, she was not willing to work with us to correct the awful unprofessional mess she created with our photos. Some pictures had cobweb in the background, most look like we were standing sideways, things were out of place, then, we had the audacity to ask her to airbrush some of the photos and straighten them as it was only an option, the response was that she can only do a few out of the 500. Needless to say, after she was done with the "airbrushing" the photos were worst, she moved our facial features around like making our eyes bigger/smaller, moving lips to the side, ears looked bigger, you get my point, unprofessional. This photographer does not know how to operate the Camera or thre airbrushing system and did not want to spend extra time cleaning up her mess. In the end we reverted to the untouched photo and will pay to have someone "fix" them. I hope she goes back to school or gets further training before advertising as a professional so that no one else has to go through this catastrophy, if not, you will be better off having family and friends in the ceremony take photos, you might be surprise......

  Karen Lee Photography's reply:

  This woman was a nightmare. These claims are absurd. I said I would touch up the photos that she was unhappy with not all of them. She asked to remove wrinkles, I did not see wrinkles on her face. Her husband had crows feet around his eyes and removing them made him look different. That is how they look, I like people to look like themselves. I did nothing to but erase lines on their faces, not enlarge ears or anything else she claims. I am truly sorry that they were unhappy with their photos and it is my fault that I give my clients almost all of their photos even when some should be removed. As for pictures being crooked, there were a lot of windows with straight lines in the background, I am looking at their faces to capture those special looks they would give each other during the ceremony, sorry that I didn't noticed they were uneven. This wedding was an evening wedding in October, so the sun was going down and because she was 45 mins late to her ceremony the pictures taken outside some were a little flashy because it was getting dark. During the entire reception she complained that she had a headache and was miserable.
  I've never had a complaint from any of my clients and I am very upset over this review. If anyone is interested in my services and would like to see the photos from this ceremony I would be happy to show them and let them be the judge of how bad I did.
