  The Perfect Choice!

  Karina photographed many events and special family milestones for me and others that I have recommended her to. She is lovely to work with whether it is a wedding, a surprise proposal, a bridal shower or baby shower; I have worked with her for all of these types of events and more. She has a good eye and is able to capture the most beautiful moments. Her style is bright, romantic, light and airy but with character and great detail. It is such a relief to be able to fully experience an event knowing that every detail and memorable moment will be captured beautifully. I am so thankful to have met her and grateful for the countless memories she has captured and gifted to me and so many families. I highly recommend hiring Karina to elevate any event or wedding experience with her timeless, elegant and gorgeous photography style.

  Thank You Karina!!!

  Karina was wonderful and an absolute pleasure to work with! She made us feel comfortable and really captured our personalities, which makes our photos even more special. Our wedding day was all we could have hoped for, and we can cherish all those memories fondly through her gorgeous photos! We can’t thank her enough for her incredible work!

  Highly recommend Karina! The best wedding photographer!

  Karina is amazing, and I can not recommend her enough to anyone looking for a wedding photographer! She is truly a dream to work with – so friendly, organized, thoughtful and professional. She made everyone in our wedding party feel so comfortable and confident in the pictures, and multiple people commented to me what a great experience they had with her. Karina is also truly an artist. She has such a great eye, and she did such an amazing job capturing all the details and little moments of our wedding – including things we never would have thought to capture. We are obsessed with all of the photos in our sneak peek (which we got shortly after our wedding), and we cannot wait to see the rest!

  Breathtaking photos!!!

  My husband and I had the absolute pleasure of working with Karina and her assistant for our wedding, and I cannot speak highly enough of their exceptional skills and professionalism. From the very beginning (which was our highly anticipated engagement shoot!!!) Karina demonstrated a level of dedication and passion that set her apart. Her genuine enthusiasm for capturing love stories was evident during our initial consultation, where she took the time to listen attentively to our vision and understand what we wanted. Her ability to translate our ideas into breathtaking visuals was truly remarkable. Our pictures came out FANTASTIC!! and we were no longer concerned for the big day. We also got to know her during that session which made our wedding day that much easier, she truly calmed us down and made everything feel natural!
  
  On the day of our wedding, Karina exceeded our expectations in every way. Her calm and friendly demeanor instantly put us at ease, allowing us to relax and be ourselves in front of the camera. She seamlessly blended into the background, capturing every precious moment and emotion without ever feeling intrusive. We got to see a sneak peek whilst on our honeymoon and I cannot stop looking at them! They were perfect, I immediately sent them to all our friends and family, and I cannot wait to see the full collection!!! We are forever grateful to Karina for her incredible work and for preserving our memories so beautifully.

  Karina is magical! 10/10 recommend

  From the moment I met Karina at our engagement shoot, I was impressed with her creativity and ability to match my dream-wedding vision and bring it to life in every single frame. She did amazing job in capturing our engagement shoot, which was shot in Central Park. She also had the best recommendations for locations around the park.
  
  For our wedding, Karina created the most detailed timeline and worked closely with me to put together a detailed shot list. On the actual day of the wedding, I was so impressed with her problem-solving, energy and creativity. I had countless friends and family members who also sing her praises. Our wedding was at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden which is a challenging venue because it's primarily outdoors, and it started raining for our 1st look. Karina remained calm and came to the table with a bunch of creative solutions, resulting in beautiful photos amidst the rain.
  
  But what truly sets Karina apart is her ability to capture the essence of a moment. She didn't just take pictures; she told a story. She captured the fun energy of getting ready with my bridesmaids, to a special look and fun reception. If you're looking for a wedding photographer who will capture the magic of your day, look no further than Karina. She's not just a photographer; she's an artist, a storyteller, and a true magician with a camera. She'll capture the essence of your love and turn your wedding into a fairytale you'll never forget.

  Hire karina!

  I got married in 2022 at Clarks Landing and used Karina. Karina is the absolute BEST! She truly goes out of the way for her clients! She had never photographed at Clarks and she took the time to drive down and meet with me to discuss different photo options and places to take photos. She answered all of my questions and emails in a timely manner and was so helpful with the photo planning process. I had a HUGE list of different photos I wanted and she captured all of them plus even more! She made me feel truly like a beautiful princess ALL day! She is the best!

  Karina is the absolute BEST!

  Karina is the absolute BEST! I would recommend her over and over as a wedding photographer. Karina has been organized, detail oriented, and a caring friend throughout the wedding process. She also did our engagement photos in Central Park, which we have framed in our new home. We couldn’t be happier with our pictures- they are some of the most beautiful my family has ever seen!

  Incredible! We loved working with Karina!!

  Karina is THE BEST!!!! We just used her for our wedding this past weekend and she was so incredible. I can not say enough good things! She made me feel so comfortable, was so friendly, and all of our guests loved her. She worked SO hard to make our day so special and she captured it so perfectly. My husband (who typically doesn't like his picture taken) was happy to take pictures all day because Karina made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Our guests can't stop talking about how sweet and professional she was. She went above and beyond, taking so many more photos than we put on our list- things I didn't even think to put on there. She just knew what to capture and really took her time to make sure every detail was beautiful. I'm so happy we chose Karina to capture our special day and we can't wait to see the rest of our pictures! We found our photographer and a friend for life and can not wait to work with her again!!
