    Karen and Gen are THE BEST!!

    We absolutely loooved working with Karen and her daughter Gen! They did such a great job, we got our sneak peaks back just within a couple days and they’re beautiful! The quality is amazing, the poses and direction they gave us were great. The coordination through chaotic family photos and wedding party photos went very well. Karen spoke with me multiple times throughout the planning process and helped me create an itinerary and find photo spots. All of her feedback through planning was extremely helpful. They were so friendly and fun throughout the day. They even helped me get my dress on as we were rushing to get to our first look!! You can’t go wrong choosing them to be your photographer, I’m sure glad I found them.

    We highly, highly recommend booking her as your photographer!

    Karen is fantastic! She did our engagement photos in Sept 2021 and was the photographer at our wedding March 2022. We cannot recommend her enough! She is fun, upbeat, and easy to be around. She directs poses clearly, giving guidance and feedback that lead to neat, natural, candid shots. We were nervous at our engagement shoot but Karen put us at ease and made us feel comfortable and even enjoy the process. By the end we had complete confidence that our wedding photography was in great hands.
    Leading up to wedding day, we had a final call, and emailed with Karen several times about details, shot lists, etc. she was always prompt and available.
    On wedding day, she arrived on time, was positive and excited for the day. Her daughter Gena assisted and was helpful, attentive and calming as well. They helped us adjust and stick to our timeline through getting ready, first look, couple photos, and family photos all before the ceremony. She had our backs and checked in with how we were doing throughout the day and evening. She went above and beyond our expectations by coordinating with the DJ directly, helping bustle my dress (a few times), and dealing with guest photo requests.
    Our family and friends commented on how great she was and we agree! We’ve already received a few sneak peek photos (2 days later!) and they are beautiful! So many good, funny, candid photos and formally posed ones too. We can’t wait to see the rest! Karen helped to make our wedding day easy and we are so happy we found her to be our photographer. The best! We highly, highly recommend booking her as your photographer!

    Absolutely Perfect!

    We loved working with Karen and Gena! We are very camera-shy people but knew we would want photos from our wedding, so we needed someone who would make us feel comfortable outside of our comfort zone. We are so happy we found Karen! We had a great time doing our engagement shoot with her, and love all of our photos! When illness struck on the day of our wedding and Karen couldn’t be there herself, she still saved the day with her daughter Gena and another photographer (Aaron) who did a fantastic job! Gena made sure we had all the shots that we wanted and kept us having fun all day. Our photos are absolutely wonderful. Karen and Gena are the best!

    Absolutely Wonderful!

    We hired Karen and Gen for our engagement and wedding pictures. In short, they were AMAZING. Planning a wedding is stressful enough, and with them it was one less thing to worry about. They were so fun, easy going, professional, and really made it easy to be ourselves around them. They made sure we had a friendship through it all, I had no issues asking for anything and I was confident they'd get the shots we'd like. Also being a coronavirus bride, they were so accommodating and flexible, which was truly appreciated!! And the pictures??? Oh my goodness, I literally screamed with joy and sobbed. They were STUNNING. Truly caught the magic of the day. Not one ounce of me regrets booking Karen and Gen, they're a great pair with jaw dropping talent.

    Karen is the best!

    Karen Menyhart Photography did my engagement and wedding photos and I couldn't be happier. She made me feel very comfortable and was very responsive to my emails, calls, and texts. I love our wedding photos and can't wait to see all of them!

    Fusion Wedding

    I cannot say enough on how great my experience was working with Karen! Karen came to me recommended by another photographer and was just excited as I was to shoot our wedding as we were to have her shoot. My husband and I had a multi-day, multi-event wedding that we aimed to be full of fun, color, and love. Karen understood this vision and, with her lovely second shooter Genevieve, captured these moments. I cannot thank Karen enough for her incredible support leading up to the wedding and her encouragement during the wedding weekend. I highly recommend Karen for any of your photography needs.

    From a groom’s perspective

    Karen has now taken our engagement photos, wedding photos, & maternity photos. I couldn’t recommend her more. She’s not serious at all— & I love it. She makes you feel comfortable & makes you feel that it’s ok as a male if you’re insecure about taking photos & will help you feel secure by just having fun. Sessions fly by because it’s like you’re just hanging out with a friend. I never thought there would come a day where I didn’t dread getting my pictures taken... but now when my wife tells me we have to get more pictures taken with Karen I look forward to it!

    Highly Recommend! My husband and I could not be happier with our wedding and engagement photos that Karen and her team did! In addition to being wickedly talented at what she does, Karen is a great person who is very trustworthy. Our ceremony was outside and Karen got stung by a bee right before the ceremony began. I never knew this until after because she handled it with such grace and the photos turned out absolutely amazing. She doesn't let anything get in the way of doing her job and being creative.

    Just a few days after our wedding Karen sent a sneak peek of pictures which was very much appreciated! The one thing I was nervous about was that our room for the reception was too yellow because of the lighting I chose. Karen was able to work her magic and there was no sign of yellow in the photos!

    Thank you Karen and your entire team for making our day so special!!

    I cannot speak highly enough of Karen, Kamron, and Genevieve. The team at Karen Menyhart Photography was phenomenal and helped contribute to the best day of our lives. We had an unexpected winter wedding complete with rain and snow.. Karen watched the forecast, brought umbrellas, and made sure we still got the outdoor shots that we had so hoped for. Throughout the wedding week she stayed in touch and was such a pleasure to work with. My husband and I really wanted a relaxed presence as a photographer, someone that could reign in the masses but also have fun. Karen did all this and more. She had a blast with the party and when plans had to change due to weather she rolled with it and helped make even better plans!! We are so grateful to Karen and her team for their hard work. AND after working so hard for us the whole day of the wedding, my husband and I are able to look at a sneak peak of photos the very next day. We are amazed! Karen Menyhart photography has been a true blessing for us. I would recommend her to anyone!! THANK YOU KAREN!!

    Karen Menyhart Photography's reply:

    Thank you Erin! We had a blast on your day! I felt so bad that the weather was slushy, but I love the outside photos the best! So glad you two went for it! Thank you for asking us to photograph your day! xoxoxo!

    We cannot say enough good things about Karen and her team! She really helped to make our wedding wonderful! From the planning process to the actual day, Karen and her team were so easy to work with. Karen thought of things that I would have never thought of during the planning process. From the day's schedule to the actual places to have photos, there was not a thing to worry about as I knew Karen and her team had everything under control. She even had indoor suggestions and a back up plan for pictures in case of rain. During our wedding, she was always right there ready to capture any part of our day. We never had to think about whether or not we would get a photograph of a special moment. She is so easy to work with and her work is just beautiful! Thank you Karen and your team for helping to make our wedding day so wonderful!

    Karen is the best! We highly recommend her to any couple looking to have a fun, easygoing and personalized wedding. She went above and beyond what one thinks of as a photographers job. She even helped tie up our flower girls dress while she was dancing. We enjoyed her and her husbands company so much that at the end of the night we wanted them to stay longer and party with us! I have seen a lot of wedding albums but none seem to capture the emotion of the day quite like Karen. We cannot say enough about how much she meant to us helping to ease nerves and get the best pictures. Karen's photographs brought out our little personality quirks in the best way possible. Honestly, who doesn't want that special touch that shows someone really gets who you and your other half are as a couple? We loved our wedding day and Karen help capure all of our amazing memories to have for a lifetime!

    Karen was an absolute dream to work with. From the moment we first talked to her on Skype, we knew we had found someone we would genuinely enjoy spending a day with (and on your wedding day - that is SO important). Karen was full of great advice before and during the wedding, and always made sure that we were happy and comfortable.

    We told Karen that while we wanted some formal family photos, the most important thing for us was capturing the real essence of the day - love, family, and fun, in more organic photos. She totally got us - and the photos prove it. They are absolutely stunning with brilliant colour, and we have gotten so many compliments already - and that's just based on a few "sneak peeks" (which were available only a day after the wedding - incredible!)

    Thank you Karen, for being so amazing! Our family, friends, and we love you!

    Karen and her team are fantastic! We are so happy we chose her to capture our wedding! From the first emails and Skype conversation, it was obvious she is very well-organized and we knew we were in very good hands. She made my husband and I feel very comfortable and relaxed during our engagement session and the big day! She was so much fun to work with! After looking through all of her AMAZING pictures, we know we made the right choice!!

We would definitely recommend her for engagement and wedding shoots!

    I couldn't have imagined our wedding day without having Karen. From day one when we called her to discuss wedding pictures she was energetic, excited and very very easy to work with. She was well organized on the big day and had a great plan of action. After the ceremony the clouds rolled in and large spurts of downpours threatened to delay and cancel all of our photo opportunities, but Karen was able to call an audible and quickly put together an even better plan to deal with Mother Nature. She was actively engaged throughout the entire day, but at the same time she was a fly on the wall and was barely noticeable. Bottom line; she was a Stud! I would recommend her to anyone and everyone that needs the perfect wedding day photography.

    Karen was professional, relaxed, attentive and creative. She made our outdoor wedding with little time and space in between the ceremony and reception something grand and was able to capture unique and beautiful shots. She worked with our schedule in the months leading up to the wedding as we lived out of town and was so responsive and easy to get ahold of. Karen's passion for people and photography shows in her work and I would reccomend her to anyone!
