More than just a photographer

I cannot recommend Karen enough - she calmed my storm and made me less anxious that the attention was all on me. From the moment she arrived, she was hands on - helped move all our stuff to the bridal suite as well as getting snapshots of everyone getting ready. Helped me get into my wedding dress pulling layers upon layers down making it fit perfectly. Karen got everyone in our wedding party in order and what was expected of them and shouted at them when they never done as they were told lol Our pictures turned out beautifully- more than I could ever imagine as we are both quite camera shy. Captured the day perfectly! Karen is more than just a photographer and we cannot thank her enough for all that she done for us making our special day amazing! Highly recommend - thanks again Karen. Love the Mabons xx

Best photographer

Having known Karen for years and having used her before for family photos, it was always going to be her that I wanted to do my wedding photos. The main reason was that being someone who doesn’t much like photos of myself, Karen would put me at ease and make me feel comfortable. She definitely did that. All guests throughout the day commented on how patient and down to earth Karen was. Seeing our gallery made us laugh and cry, replaying our day through her photos. The main thing for me is seeing how naturally happy everybody is in these photos. It truly was a day full of love and laughter and Karen has captured that perfectly. I’m so proud to display her work in our home. She has gone above and beyond with her help and lovely little touches. Thank you, Karen ❤️

Best wedding investment

From booking, consultations, her unmatched energy, professionalism, great craic and how at ease she put at all in front of the camera, to the turnaround and delivery - I can hands down say that booking Karen for our wedding photography in August 2025 was one of the best decisions we made. She worked flawlessly alongside our other vendors, helped when time started to slip away during prep and captured all the smaller details and candid moments as well as the bigger important ones. Karen truly felt like a good pal on the day and even months later is still someone my partner and I talk about! If you like her work you absolutely will not be disappointed in booking Karen.

Couldn't be better

We got Karen as a wedding gift and what a gift it was. She was so natural, hilarious and took the most perfect photos. Couldn't recommend her enough.

Walker wedding

We hired Karen two years ago for our wedding primarily on the high quality and appealing nature of her work. However over this period Karen has proved her worth to be more than just an extremely talented photographer, she kept in touch with us readily and in the run up to the wedding and was very responsive to any queries we had. On the day itself however Karen went above and beyond in not only her presence in a professional capacity but her humour, friendliness, willingness to help and support actually felt like we had known her for years. We would not hesitate to recommend Karen to prospective couples looking for a photographer and can assure you would receive more than just a photographer. She truly was indispensable to our day

Couldn’t have picked a better photographer

I can’t even begin to explain how happy I was with our wedding photos , getting our picture taken isn’t something me and my husband enjoy but Karen made us feel so at ease and we actually really enjoyed it . Highly reccomend using Karen she is professional caring and kind and thinks of all the extra things and goes the extra mile !!
