Your personal hype girl with a camera.
wedding photography in Philly & NJ
You know that friend who hypes you up, holds your bouquet, and ugly cries during your vows? That’s me—but with a camera in hand and a heart fully in it.
I’m Karen—Philadelphia and New Jersey-based wedding photographer, professional third-wheel, and storyteller obsessed with big feelings and real, unscripted moments.
I don’t believe in just “taking pictures.” I believe in seeing people—really seeing them—and creating space for you to feel completely yourself in front of my lens.
Because the truth is, the best photos don’t come from perfect poses.
They come from presence. From laughter you didn’t see coming. From teary-eyed glances across the room. From that moment you squeeze each other’s hands and just know.
That’s what I’m here to capture.
Want to see how I do it?
There’s a lot of noise in the wedding world—Pinterest boards, expectations, timelines, trends. But when it comes down to it, I care about one thing:
your connection.
the way you love.
the way your day felt.
My job? To help you feel safe, seen, and totally celebrated.
Whether you're camera-shy or full main-character mode, I'll meet you where you are—with just enough direction to feel confident, and plenty of space to be fully you.
I'm not just here to document the day—I'm here to be in it with you.
Sound like your kind of vibe?
how i got here
(the short & sweet version)
I’ve always been a feeler. The kind of person who tears up at strangers’ love stories and cries during the Brooklyn 99 finale (every time). Photography was the place where all of that sensitivity turned into something powerful—a way to preserve the little things that mean the most.
What started as a creative outlet turned into a calling. Now, I get to witness some of the most beautiful moments in people’s lives and hand them back in photo form. It’s an honor I’ll never take for granted.
"Karen was amazing to work with! She is a charismatic person and we never felt rushed. She made us feel comfortable the second we arrived. It was obvious she had researched the area beforehand as she took us to a park with the best lighting from the sunset. And I was very impressed not only with the pictures (she def has an eye) but the timeliness of her edits! I highly recommend her!"
