About

Hi! My name is Karina, I am a documentary wedding photographer, who captures Your Love, One Moment at a Time. I’m here to tell your love story in a way that feels authentic to you. I’m not just documenting a wedding; I’m capturing the essence of your connection, the little moments that mean the world, and the magic that makes your day uniquely yours.

I’ve always been captivated by the beauty of the world around me—the architecture, the lines and shapes that form our environments, and the stories that unfold in the bustling energy of big cities. These elements inspire my work, allowing me to create images that are not just photographs, but artistic representations of your most cherished moments. My sense of composition is almost innate, guiding me to craft images that are both unique and powerful, capturing the emotions and aesthetics that make your day extraordinary.

I’m driven by a deep love for people—their stories, their dreams, and the love that brings them together. Whether I’m wandering through the streets of a new city or connecting with couples like you, I find endless inspiration in the emotions and experiences that shape our lives. Photography allows me to freeze time, giving you the chance to relive your happiest moments over and over again. Your wedding day is a collection of once-in-a-lifetime experiences, and it’s my privilege to preserve them with images that feel as timeless as your love.

My approach is a blend of unobtrusive documentary style with a creative eye for the details that matter. I’m there to capture the big moments—the first kiss, the tearful vows—but also the quieter ones, like the way your partner looks at you when you’re not watching, or the laughter shared between you and your best friends. I aim to blend into the background while ensuring that no moment goes unnoticed, so you can fully immerse yourself in the joy and excitement of your wedding day.

My clients often tell me that working with me feels like spending time with an old friend. I’m honored that they feel comfortable and at ease, allowing their true selves to shine through in every shot. Whether it’s guiding you gently through the more posed moments or capturing those candid, unguarded flashes of joy, my goal is to make you feel celebrated and understood.
