We hired Karina as our photographer for both our engagement shoot and wedding day! I loved Karina's style from what I had seen online and fell in love with her more and more as we talked and began planning. Karina is extremely organized and passionate, but her support and kindness is what makes her stand out.
Her professionalism is exceptional and her ability to work with other vendors during our wedding day to ensure the day went smoothly and flawlessly was incredible! We are so grateful of her on so many levels and our final photos exceed our expectations. We are so lucky to have had her document our day so that we may cherish these photos for years to come. If you are looking for a photographer who can make you feel comfortable and deliver high end quality photos Karina is the one and only choice. I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat. -

Wow, there are so many positive things I can say about Karina. She is not only extraordinarily talented, but she also has a way of making her clients feel so comfortable in front of the camera. I didn't feel like a natural at all, but Karina got me to come out of my shell. She's easy to work with, so fun, and I would happily book a shoot with her again. Can't recommend enough! -

Worth every penny!
We were looking for someone local to shoot our maternity photos and luckily found Karina on IG. Throughout the whole planning process Karina was responsive and helpful. My husband and I are both not 100% comfortable in front of the camera, but on the day of the shoot Karina did a great job directing us and we had a lot of fun. On top of that she is a genuinely nice person and an extremely talented photographer! We loved all of our photos and can't thank you enough Karina! -

Karina went above and beyond our expectations. Amidst the pandemic she was incredibly flexible and willing to work with us and make our day even more special. She traveled (kid you not, 8 hours) to shoot our wedding and we couldn't be more thankful. Our wedding was so different than we imagined but Karina made it ALL worth it! Our pictures are breathtaking, her energy is fantastic and we just love her talent! Thank you for being there for us! I wouldn't have any other way. -

Karina is Amazing!
We were so lucky to have Karina take part in our wedding celebration. Karina worked with us for our engagement session and our wedding day. She was always so sweet, friendly and professional. It was really important for me to find a photographer that not only knew how to shoot and edit, but also one who would pose us and direct us in a way that made us feel comfortable, and Karina is definitely a pro at that! All of our pictures came out amazing, and looking back at them it's hard to believe how GOOD she made me look. I'm usually sooo awkward when it comes to pictures and posing but I don't even recognize the stunning bride in the pictures that she captured. I would recommend Karina 1000%. She was also super flexible with us having to change our date due to covid, and she stuck with us every step of the way. Book her now! -

Carlee G. Sent on 07/21/2021Karina is the best wedding photographer in the Bay Area, hands down!
Karina was so incredibly easy to work with, made us feel comfortable, and produced the most beautiful images from our wedding. All of our family friends even said how great she was! She is kind and always there for me as a bride. I cherish our experience with her and friendship throughout this process. Her style, editing, lighting everything is so aesthetically pleasing and on point. We could not say enough good things about her!!! -

Thank you Karina for being just as excited as we were to finally tie the knot on 12/11/20! My husband and I were engaged for 2 years. Before our big day we had so much fun getting to know each other starting with our engagement session. Never did we imagine that our plans would change so many times because of a pandemic but Karina was there for us throughout our journey and it was the best decision we ever made to meet and hire her to photograph our love story! It was so important to us to have someone who made us feel comfortable. I feel that she will always remain dear to our hearts as a forever friend. Our photos are stunning, it was a wonderful experience that we will cherish forever. I highly recommend her and will work together again in the future :)
Many thanks,
Alex and Monica -

Karina was recommended to me by a friend of mine. After I saw her portfolio on her IG I felt in love with her work. Her style, the details, everything! Was exactly what I was looking for! Then I met her, and I found out she is also the sweetest person! Always thinking on her clients and their experience, she makes you feel so comfortable around the camera (so don’t worry if you’re not ‘a model’, she got you 😉) , she is AMAZING on what she does! You can see she really loves photography. Our engagement photos came out so perfect that I could not wait for THE WEDDING day! Omg! What can I say? I am so so so glad I hired her, now I have BEAUTIFUL memories to look at. She captures the moments like the photos of our wedding are telling us a story! Wow, THANK YOU Karina, from the bottom of my heart ❤️ -

Crystal V. Sent on 03/20/2020Go with Karina
Got engaged January 2019 and started the process of finding a venue, a dress, a photographer, etc. Half way through the year, we changed our plans and we decided to go the city hall + small reception route. My husband wanted no wedding and I wanted a "standard" wedding, so we met in the middle. I was talking to several photographers but long story short, I ended up going with Karina. Best decision ever. Karina did our engagement session in August and she photographed our whole wedding day, from "first look" to our small reception. The engagement session was sooo fun (laughing the whole time) so it made us feel comfortable with her on our wedding day. On the day of, not only did she help coordinate us on where to go and what to do when we got to City Hall, but she helped me with the tying/untying of my insane labyrinth of a dress bustle (I had 7 bustles underneath a thick long crepe dress train). By going with Karina, we not only got an amazing photographer to work that made our day that much more amazing, we gained a truly amazing and awesome friend. I plan to use Karina for future life events (i.e., buying our first house, kids, you name it!) because her work is pure magic. I love that dark moody vibe and her photography is totally that. The whole experience was perfect and I'm so happy with how our pictures look. Her responsiveness and communication was amazing too as I always got my questions answered promptly. If you want to have amazing photos to look back on in 20 years, go with Karina. She made us look and feel like movie stars and really captured the joy and love my husband and I feel for each other. I can't recommend Karina enough! Karina, thank you for making our special day that much more memorable -

Nathalya H. Sent on 05/19/2019Karina is the RIGHT/BEST choice!
Karina is the sweetest, most amazing, professional photographer, I've met. She made my wedding day an even more special day! She was super gentle and patient.
My husband and I made all the arrangments with her online, via e-mail and Facetime. She understood that we had pretty busy routines and she never left one single question unanswered.
She was very flexible with all the craziness and change of plans. She helped everybody to keep their minds together during the event. Always smiling and saying cute things to unwind our minds. She is too adorable!!!
During our big day, I felt like if I had hired a friend to take pictures of our day. I have no words to describe how happy I am for choosing her!!!
And the pictures... O-M-G! Breathtaking! We knew that she was great, but when we saw the pictures she had taken, we were completely speechless because the place wasn't one of the best, but Karina made it seem PERFECT!
We (me, my husband, my family, my friends) highly recommend her! -

Karina is simply amazing. Very professional, great communication through out the entire process and day of! I really wanted to make sure I found a photographer who was going to be able to capture emotion and beautiful moments and that is exactly how all of our pictures came out. Karina was very good with direction and knows how to handle a big crowd! Im so happy with how all of our photos came out, my husband and I look back at our photos with huge smiles and they bring us back to all those very special moments karina was able to capture for us. -

When my fiancé and I got engaged and started planning our wedding, we both knew that we wanted to hire the perfect photographer to capture our special day because it was going to be day that was going to be special to the both of us. I came across Karina's work on instagram and looking at her work and how she captured moments, I knew right there that I wanted her to be our photographer. She captured our engagement shoot and our wedding day and she incorporated our daughter into our photos perfectly. When it came to our big day, she knew exactly what she was doing. So professional and she did it with such class. Not only was she was our photographer but we also gained a friend. We got our pictures back not too long ago and they are absolutely stunning. Everything that I wanted. I couldn't help but just be emotional all over again. Karina is hands down the best and if you want memories that you will love and look at forever, she is the one to do so!!
Thank you Karina! You will be forever in our hearts. -

We booked Karina to take our city hall photos. The photos did not disappoint. Each and every one of them were beautiful. She a very sweet and skilled photographer. She made sure to take the photos in a flattering angle. She made sure we were very comfortable during our photoshoot even if I was initially feeling awkward. She's also a great communicator. When we had questions or request, she was quick to answer them.

Karina is the best! She's super fun to work with, her ability to get best shots in any given place is amazing. I'm so honored and happy to have worked with her on my pre wedding photoshoot and wedding photoshoot, I simply LOVE the result! She is super responsible, easygoing and will do anything she can to give you the perfect photos. Having her with us during the whole process was a blessing. -

Karina is like the best friend you haven't seen in a year, but picked up right where you left off. She is your personal hype woman, she will make you feel good and comfortable behind the camera. Her energy is great. We had been chatting for some time via IG after we booked for our wedding, then decided to do a home photoshoot with her a couple months prior to the wedding. She really came through both times. She is thorough and efficient, she really knows what she's doing. Her eye for photography is wonderful. We are so happy with our pictures!
