Hello, my name is Karen and I'm a photographer & adventurer. I grew up in Japan (in the city and by the sea), occasionally returning to my state-side home deep in the north Georgia woods.

I document life, love and the people who have fallen in love with each other.  I gravitate towards what is organic, artful, unique; to me, that is weddings. I'm based in Brooklyn but my work takes me many places.

In my spare time I enjoy art, exploring new land, estate sales, tea parties, and "farming" on my fire escape.

It's so nice to meet you.

Frequently Asked Questions

-I'm getting married outside of New York/have a destination wedding. Do you travel?

Yes! I travel for most of my weddings and love it when another adventure comes my way. I usually ask for airfare, a hotel room for 2 nights, and possibly a rental car. I always travel economy and am happy to give a quote before booking.

*For weddings outside of New York City limits (more than 1 hour drive & finishes later than 11pm) I do require accommodation and a rental car.

 -What camera do you shoot with? 

A canon 5d mark ii + a long list of prime lenses.

-How do we book you? 

I ask for a signed contract and a 50% retainer fee. (The remainder is due within 2 weeks of the wedding day.)


 

 

-What about prints?

Your photos are yours, so you are welcome to make prints on your own wherever you like!  

-Do you create albums?

Currently i do not make albums.  But I do  recommend pinhole press - they make beautiful albums at at reasonable prices.

-When will i get the photos?

What I do is truly a labor of love, and I take pride in editing every photo. I try to send a sneak peak soon after the wedding date, but the rest of your photographs can be expected within 4-8 weeks.

-How many photos do we get? 

You'll end up with roughly 60 images per hour of coverage.
