I take on a limited number of weddings each year to ensure every couple receives my full attention. If you'd like to begin a conversation, I'd love to hear from you.
Thank you.

Capturing Love Stories
About the Artist
I am a wedding and editorial photographer with a quiet eye for the tender, unscripted moments that define a day. My work lives at the intersection of fine art and documentary — unhurried, intimate, and deeply honest.
Based in Wilmington, Delaware and available worldwide, I've had the privilege of documenting love stories across four continents. Each photograph is made with intention: to hold a feeling so precisely that you can step back inside it years from now.

My Story
I came to wedding photography the long way — through documentary film, through years spent embedded in communities I barely knew, learning to observe before I ever reached for a camera. That instinct never left me. When I photograph a wedding, I am not directing a production. I am watching, waiting, reading the room. The laugh that escapes before the vows are finished. The way a father grips his daughter's hand a half-second too long before letting go. These are the photographs I live for — the ones that feel less like pictures and more like memory itself.
Based in Wilmington, Delaware and available wherever love takes us, I work with a small number of couples each year by design. I believe that the best wedding photography is built on trust, and trust takes time. Before we ever meet at the altar, we meet over coffee, over emails, over a slow walk through your venue on a quiet afternoon. By the time your wedding day arrives, you will not notice me. And that is exactly the point. My work has been featured in Vogue Brides, The LANE, and Magnolia Rouge, and I have had the honour of documenting love stories across four continents — but every wedding I photograph feels, to me, like the first.
Kind Words
Emma & James R.
Philadelphia, 2024
"Karina has an extraordinary gift for disappearing into a room while somehow capturing every single thing that matters. When we opened our gallery, we wept. Not because the photos were beautiful — though they were — but because they were true."
Sofia & Luca M.
Amalfi Coast, 2023
"We hired Karina because we admired her work. We recommend her to everyone now because of who she is — calm, present, and completely devoted to her craft. Our photographs are the greatest thing we own."
Priya & Daniel O.

"She captured moments we didn't even know were happening. The photo of my grandmother watching us say our vows — I had no idea she took it. I look at it every single day."
