Heartwarming Notes from My Couples

  • SOPHIE + BEN

    “ We cannot recommend Karina enough. Karina was our wedding photographer in October 2024 and we cannot speak highly enough about her. Karina is warm, kind and friendly, making the experience of capturing our wedding feel very care-free and fun. There are clear distinctions in the style of our photos throughout each part of the day - the ceremony was captured so romantically and there’s a very calm oura about the photos, but then the photos from the party were loud and fun and a true representation of what a great time we all had. We were able to laugh with Karina, communicate effortlessly with her and we were completely comfortable with her throughout the whole day.
    Since seeing our photos, guests at our wedding have commented to us on how they can’t believe quite how much of the day was captured, as at no point did they feel like there was a camera pointed at them or feel under pressure to look ‘picture perfect’.
    Last note: I got married four months postpartum, so I was self-conscious about how I looked on my wedding day as my body inevitably looked different to what it did pre-baby. I was nervous to receive our photos back, as I was worried about how I’d perceive myself in the photos. I can honestly say I feel absolutely beautiful in those photos - I feel emotional just thinking about it, and I entirely thank Karina for that. We will forever be grateful to her. “

  • GITANJALI + DUNCAN

    Karina is an extremely talented photographer and my husband and I could have not been happier with our wedding pictures. Finding a really good photographer was an absolute priority to us. We wanted someone who will capture us as who we really are. Without any fake posing and without any added stress on our special day. Someone, who would capture unique and intimate moments without us even noticing. As soon as I found Karina's website and saw her pictures, I knew that this is who I was looking for. I absolutely love her style - natural, beautiful, warm. The pictures of our wedding are everything we could have hoped for and more. We are COMPLETELY blown away. They just capture our special day so perfectly. The whole day went by so fast so for us it is so incredible to be able to relive the day through Karina's pictures. Having Karina there was so easy and pleasant as well. We didn't feel observed or uncomfortable. It was simply nice to have her around. Karina, We are so grateful. I don’t even know how to thank you enough. You are an incredibly talented photographer with a very special eye for magic moments and details. Perfectly capturing what matters!

    There's something truly magical about a New Year’s Eve wedding, with its twinkling lights, cozy atmosphere, and festive cheer!! New Year and a new life together! And only the most artistic, enthusiastic, supportive, unobtrusive and lovely photographer, who also happens to take the best photos, could be the one that would be able to capture every emotion of this magical and sparkly “moment” of yours beautifully!!!
    Karina, you are truly an ‘outstanding’ photographer! You managed to capture moments that we will look back on and treasure forever!! The photos didn’t have a commercial or staged feel, but rather they were very personal and artistic!! We could not be happier with the end result, and we would happily RECOMMEND YOU to anyone!!!
    Karina should be the top of your guest list! She takes absolutely awesome photos whilst making everyone feel totally relaxed! She is more than a wedding photographer. She was on hand for any wedding planning advice and gave us so many tips on the day!!!
    Holiday weddings are a controversial move…..but we have zero regrets about our New Year’s Eve wedding—and zero regrets about our wedding photographer!!!

    Amazing Photographer, Above and Beyond!


    We can’t say enough about Karina! From start to finish, she was an absolute dream to work with. On our wedding day, she went above and beyond, staying longer than she needed to just to capture those extra special moments. Her dedication truly blew us away.
    The candid shots she took are simply breathtaking—she has a gift for catching the most genuine and beautiful moments without anyone even noticing. Not only did she deliver the photos incredibly fast, but each one is more stunning than the last. Everyone who has seen them absolutely loves them!


    Karina's warmth, professionalism, and passion for what she does shine through in every single picture. We are beyond grateful for her work and will treasure these photos forever. If you're looking for a photographer who will go the extra mile and make your big day truly unforgettable, Karina is your girl!

  • MYRIA + GIORGOS

    Having Karina as our wedding photographer was the best decision we made. Not only was she incredibly organized before the wedding day, but on the day itself, she managed to capture everything without interrupting us. The photos were taken so seamlessly that we hardly even noticed her presence. After the wedding, we received a selection of only the best shots through a convenient website link—nothing excessive, just the perfect amount of beautiful images. We can’t thank her enough for making the entire experience so effortless. We highly recommend her to any couple looking for an unobtrusive photographer who delivers stunning, high-quality results!

  • HANNAH + MORGAN

    “ I couldn’t recommend Karina highly enough. Karina captured all of the purest and happiest moments of our day and night, my only regret is that I didn’t hire her for longer! The morning was madness with trying to get everyone and everything together, the wedding stress was getting the better of me, right up until Karina entered. Karina made everyone laugh but directed and guided us all with such efficiency, she even got me out of my awkward, stressed shell. She knew every angle, every small detail i wanted captured, I love looking back on all of our photos, each and every one of them is so perfect, it was the best decision we made. She is not only a talented person, she is such a kind and caring person, you can tell from the minute you meet her, and there’s no one else I would have wanted around us all helping us on our special day!”

  • FROSO + SIMON

    Karina was recommended to me at random, when my mum found her blog and noticed she'd photographed a wedding at our same church and venue before. Honestly, best advice we ever got for our wedding! All you have to do is look at her work - it's stunning, romantic, natural, and emotional. Karina was able to interact seamlessly with all our wedding guests from around the world and knew the ins and outs of getting married in Cyprus. She captured beautiful and touching moments in a way that is almost magical. She is both a fabulous artist and an amazing individual. If you are considering booking her for any work at all, and especially for your wedding, then DO IT!
