KARINA WAS LIKE A FAIRY GODMOTHER.
“
When things started to get a little stressful, she would just appear and be like, 'Okay, take this moment in, soak it all up. Enjoy it.'
It would just take me back down to the reality of the day, and be a little breath of fresh air! She was magic!"

8 years ago, I got engaged to my high school sweetheart and began the process of wedding planning. And OH MY GOODNESS, talk about overwhelming!!
My detail-oriented, type A, planner/organizer self didn’t know what was needed behind the scenes in order to get the wedding photography of my dreams: and let me tell ya, Google was not the answer.
Today, I use custom timeline creation, detailed questionnaires, and a multitude of inspirational guides to anticipate your needs so you feel totally pampered and stress-free before, during and after your wedding day.
hi friends! I'm Karina,
YOUR WEDDING SHOULD BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE.
and I'm here to make it happen! A bold statement to make, maybe - but allow me to inspire you.
Imagine feeling only relaxation and connection on your wedding day, spending every magical second forming memories with the people you love. I give you gentle reminders at crucial times to take it all in – to be present. I keep the vibe relaxed, fun and most importantly, authentic to who YOU are.
You feel the peace of mind that comes with the knowledge that your only job on the wedding day is to simply, enjoy.
Is this the number you’re looking for??
Hiring me is an investment in your memories, relationships and wedding-day experience in the same way your 401K contribution is an investment in your financial future.
I know, I know – the 401K mention was probably unexpectedly dull and boring, so I apologize. I promise that working with me will be a much, much more fun investment to make!!
As your investment advisor, I’ll take the time to understand what matters most to you and guide you toward the collection that best supports the experience you’re envisioning.
With that said, here’s a helpful reference point:

Karina captured exactly what we were looking for in the small, intimate moments in addition to the big memories. She made it such an easy going, fun experience.
Our pictures are going to be hung everywhere around our house and we couldn't be happier about it!"

I fully, completely trusted her.
I fully, completely trusted her.
She thought of every detail before I could even think to ask, and she handled our timeline and photo list like a pro.
She listened to my worries, fears, and hopes, and somehow translated them into a visual story that felt so personal and true to us."

She even reminded me of something we'd said over a year earlier!

An incredible photographer ... and a steady rock.

Karina also has a unique ability to both flow seamlessly into the weekend - completely unnoticed the day of, while also being able to take charge and wrangle the cats when needed (hello 30+ person family photos...)."

my commitment:
When I am your wedding photographer, you won't have to worry about your photographs! I’ll be there documenting your candid, emotional and sentimental moments for you to remember years from now.
I firmly believe that this city is the best place to plan your wedding - the Dallas wedding industry is filled with so many incredible vendors, ready to make your dream wedding a reality. I love all the venues this area offers, but wanted to highlight a few that I adore! The Mason Dallas, The Hillside Estate and Firefly Gardens.
After growing up as high school sweethearts in a tiny, one-stop-light town, my husband and I were beyond excited to begin our adventure in Dallas! We quickly fell in love with the city, and often spend our free time exploring the Dallas Arboretum and Deep Ellum, taking our pup to Highland Park, or catching a Dallas Mavericks game (that one is more for Thomas than me, haha!)
