ohKarina Photography

Who am I?

I'm your fun, friendly, funky neighborhood photographer! I'm a little quirky, a little silly, and very fun loving. Cool people and cool photography excite me, and I love weddings because I get to put the two together — what could be better? I love tutus, cupcakes, Chucks, balloons, bright colors, a little chaos, awesome light, lovey couples and silly faces.

Who are you?

You like to laugh, you're totally in love, you can let loose and shake it on the dance floor. You make out in front of your friends, you don't take yourself too seriously, and you know great photography is great art. And, if you like any of the things I listed above, we will probably be a great match. So drop me a line!

What's my style?

My photos are contemporary, candid, colorful and genuine. I'm that photographer that gets on the ground or in a tree to get the best angle, the most interesting shot, and sometimes, just to make you smile. Half your wedding guests will have a camera, so my job at your wedding is to get those shots no one else can get, to make your day look like a piece of art — something you'll not only treasure forever, but look back on and say, "That was awesome!"

"Karina was fantastic to work with! She was everything you want out of a photographer: responsive, easy to be around (very important since you will be with her more than your husband that day!), and everyone enjoyed being around her. She made the baby in our wedding smile and she made us so much more relaxed. Oh, and she's ridiculously talented!"

How I cater to Offbeat Brides

I cater to Offbeat Brides because I’m an offbeat person — so we’re on the same wavelength. My photography is as un-boring and as full of personality as you are.

I keep it simple and fun. I love creative people, so bring on your best or craziest ideas. I’ll never judge you for them. In fact, I’ll love you more for them. And I’ll document them, so 50 years from now you’ll look back and say “That was a great idea — I loved it!”
I cover your wedding day from start to finish — from your last minute prepping, primping and pampering to your late night partying. You’ll never have to choose which hours of your wedding you want me to cover, or worry that I’ll cut out after the cake cutting — I’m there ‘til the DJ gives out.
All my packages include a free engagement session. We’ll run around somewhere, we’ll be silly, we’ll chat. I love engagement sessions because it really lets me get to know you and your story, and lets you get comfortable with me and being in front of my camera. And engagement sessions are as unique as your wedding – as involved as running around a city or as simple as building sundaes in your kitchen and feeding each other.
I custom design each and every one of my wedding and engagement albums so they are unique to you and your story, and I’m great at fitting in all your details and personalized goodies in a cool, classy way that gives you both quality and quantity. None of these forty 4x6s stuck to a page type deals.

And I’m fun! Who wants to have a super-stern looking, stick-in-the-mud following them around their whole wedding day? I’m also LGBT friendly so don’t be afraid to drop me a line!

Examples of my work

I think most of my weddings are pretty offbeat, if I do say so. What can I say — I like fun people. Find my wedding posts here!

But, just to point you towards a couple goodies:

Carey loves the 40s era and Jason is an awesome fiancee for playing along with this 40s themed engagement session. Their wedding next year is 40s themed as well.
Steph and Kiersten personalized their wedding down to the last T. You just have to see it to know.
A super fun, simple engagement session full of ice cream goodness.
Lindsey and Joe got married at Joe’s grandfather’s cabin in the mountains of New Hampshire. They went swimming in the lake beforehand, and Lindsey baked and decorated her own cake the day before the wedding!
I loved Alicia and Carl’s wedding because Alicia loves butterflies and fairies. So much so that she had matching fairy wings made for her and her flower girl for the wedding! The flower girl’s fairy dress was made from the shawls of all the bridesmaid dresses. Alicia also released butterflies at her ceremony.
