SEDONA ELOPEMENT PLANNING TIPS
"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!"

"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!"
