On top of nailing all the nitty gritty details, you want to know that you’ve found the person to take wedding photos that’ll reflect your unique relationship. When you work with me, I’ve got your elopement wants and needs at heart. I’ll guide you through the entire process from start to finish, help you plan a day that feels like you and your partner, and I’ll give you tangible memories that make your heart skip a beat.
BEST CHOICE WE MADE!!!! Karen was an absolute angel to work with from the very first day we met. She went above and beyond; checking in with us regularly to offer any help and made the whole photography experience so comfortable and fun. My wife has always been very camera shy, but ever since Karen came along she is all about taking pictures!!! I never thought that would happen; thank you Karen!!! ;) At the end of the night, we had a small hiccup and Karen was there to save the day, including re-shooting our entire sparkler exit. She never once made us feel like she was "just there to take our pictures", she was engaging, friendly, fun, and was just part of the party in the best way. I honestly want to plan another event just to hire her for more pictures - we adore you Karen!!!
I started my business while living in New York as a 20-year-old and thought she had it all figured out. Fast forward some years later, and I felt burned out from only taking on big, traditional weddings. I wanted more - emotionally and artistically.
Now, I'm fortunate enough to create and capture meaningful elopements, intimate weddings, and traditional weddings while feeding my artistic side. No matter what kind of wedding day you're planning, I’ll give you moments that are real and emotive, and I'll help bring your wedding vision to life. My intent is to bring cinematic storytelling with an editorial twist, allowing for organic, candid moments mixed with natural posing that brings out main character energy.
Choosing Karen Norian Photography was the best decision I made for our elopement. Her work speaks for itself. Besides her gorgeous images, Karen is the sweetest person and is able to make any couple feel comfortable. My husband still talks about her ability to give dynamic shots and keep us laughing at the same time. Our friends still mention our wedding photos as being the inspiration for their own. Karen truly has an eye for photography and is so passionate about the couples she works with. We’re so grateful for the beautiful moments that she captured, and that we get to cherish them for the rest of our lives. I couldn't have found a better photographer for us and our pup!
All shapes and forms of love are welcome - always. With me, know that you’re free to express your love in a safe space, where you’ll be encouraged and celebrated on your special day.
Every photo deserves great care because each captured moment is a once-in-a-lifetime memory. I’ll ensure that your moments, big or small, are elevated to create heirloom artwork that you can cherish and share for a lifetime.
Presets and shortcuts have no place around here - period. Editing is where moments come to life, and I strive to make sure that each image is crafted carefully and with love.
Karen is an incredible photographer, she captures candid moments and has such a unique style. Our wedding photos turned out amazing, romantic, and overall heartwarming. I remember being nervous about the photography because I have personally seen some cringe-worthy wedding portraits. If you want to laugh alongside your photographer and have incredibly blissful images, I HIGHLY recommend giving Karen a call! She is truly talented.
