SEDONA ELOPEMENT PLANNING TIPS
"Karen is everything you could want in an elopement photographer—and more. She captured our wedding day in Sedona so beautifully, I still can’t believe the photos are real! From the moment we met her, she made the entire experience completely stress-free, allowing us to be fully present and just enjoy every moment.
She literally hiked to the top of Cathedral Rock with us to get those epic shots—and made sure we got up there safely and on time. She also captured every single detail of our day: the adventurous Jeep ride, our sweet little picnic, our vows and ring exchange, and the stunning sunset photos at Merry-Go-Round Rock. Every image is breathtaking.
Karen is insanely talented, but what makes her truly special is the way she puts you at ease, coaches you with gentle direction, and somehow manages to make you feel both comfortable and radiant. We never once had to worry about how the photos would turn out—because with Karen, you know they’re going to be incredible.
If you’re planning an elopement adventure, do yourself a favor and book Karen. With her, the sky’s the limit—and you’ll walk away with photos (and memories) that you’ll cherish forever."
Joy + Mar
"Working with Karen was one of the best decisions we made for our Sedona elopement! From the beginning, she made us feel comfortable, truly listened to what we wanted, and brought such a calm, grounded energy to the day.
She captured everything so beautifully—the emotions, the little in-between moments, and the stunning red rock views that made the whole experience feel surreal. When we got our gallery back, we were completely blown away. The photos feel so us—natural, intimate, and full of heart.
We also have to shout out her dream team—Ash, our incredible hair and makeup artist, made me feel like the best version of myself, and Patricia, our sweet and soulful officiant, crafted a ceremony that felt so personal and meaningful. The whole day came together perfectly, and it wouldn’t have been the same without this amazing trio.
If you're eloping and want your day to feel effortless, beautiful, and true to you, Karen is everything. We are beyond grateful!"
Kayla + Austin
"I cannot say enough great things about Karen. I joined a Sedona wedding FB group and she was recommended and I fell in love with her work.
We met a couple times first on zoom and she is so responsive… coming from NJ and super type A I had a ton of questions and she was reassuring and helpful! We picked the all day adventure and added on extra time for get ready pics… She connected me with hair make up- Ash amazing! officiant - Patricia she made it so special! jeep rental and florals. Literally everyone was top notch top tier level of work and quality.
Day of wedding I was up at 2am for hair and make up… with hardly any sleep and man she made us feel so comfortable. Literally ran up the mountain for sunrise pictures and had a blast! Ceremony and sunset were just as special. I would do this every single year with her! There’s literally no one else I would have wanted to do this with- it was just me my husband and Karen and she killed it! We love her and are so happy we got to meet her and work with her !"

"I don't even know where to start. Karen was INCREDIBLE - we're so happy to have found her! It was such an amazing experience to have Karen turn our dreams into reality. Her pictures speak for themselves, but she helped us with so much more than just capturing the day(s) on photo and film. Finding the perfect locations, making a timeline, putting us in touch with great partners (for 4x4 and hot air balloon), helping us with all of our silly questions, making us feel comfortable...
She went out of her way to make sure our elopement was as perfect as it could be. THANK YOU for all of your help and for capturing those magical moments. We couldn't have wished for a better photographer!"
Eva + Jelle
"We loved having Karen around to photograph us on our wedding day. From the beginning planning phases, she was proactive, responsive and was able to provide suggestions for the look and style we were looking for. What we loved most was that she goes above and beyond to make sure the actual day goes smoothly - from separately coordinating with our Officiant to make sure we were at the right place at the right time, to even helping with hair and make up! Not to mention she had a fantastic attitude the entire way through, even at the 3am meet time to catch the sunrise! We absolutely loved how our photos turned out - she really has a gift and is extremely talented and well organized. Karen was a huge part of what made our day so memorable. Thank you so much Karen!"
