MInneapolis, MN & WORLDWIDE

I’m Karen, the owner and principal photographer of Karen Feder Photography. I love being able to share in the love of two individuals and feel so blessed to get to work with such wonderful people every week!
When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me somewhere in the sun, relaxing with my husband or friends, or looking for new travel locations. With three young adult children, we love being together as a family whenever we can.
After graduating from the University of Northwestern in St. Paul with a degree in studio art, I worked with a Time/ Life photographer. He disliked shooting weddings and slipped me one he didn’t want to do. From that point on, I was hooked. In 2002 I started my own business and have never looked back.
Based out of the Minneapolis/ St. Paul area, I have been shooting weddings for over two decades and have been blessed to have shot award winning photos from weddings in CA, NY, St. Lucia and all over the Midwest
I look forward to meeting you!

Katie Nick’s June wedding at Seven Vines Vineyard was the perfect blend of timeless elegance and joyful celebration. From the classic black-and-white wedding party attire to the dreamy golden hour portraits among the vines, every detail felt effortlessly sophisticated.
Surrounded by their favorite people and endless love, these two kicked off married life in the most beautiful way.

Baby Mary has arrived and is already so deeply loved by Nicole and Aaron.
I’ve had the true honor of photographing this family since their oldest was born over 16 years ago, and watching their story grow through each new season has been something really special. From newborn snuggles to busy, full family life being invited back again and again is something I never take for granted.
This family is deeply rooted in the world of forage, county fairs, and raising and showing lambs and sheep, so it only felt fitting to include a little lamb hat for baby Mary’s first photos. A small nod to a big part of their life and traditions.
Welcome to the world, sweet girl
Spring soirée perfection.
Rob and Sarah’s wedding day was a beautiful blend of faith, family, and thoughtful design. Inspired by Monet’s garden paintings, their celebration was filled with soft spring colors, meaningful heirlooms, and intentional details at every turn.
After a joyful ceremony at Eagle Brook Church, surrounded by family and friends, they celebrated the night away at Silverwood Park with beautiful florals, heartfelt speeches, lakeside portraits, and dancing.
One of my favorite details? Sarah changed into her mother’s wedding dress for the reception, while flowers made from that same gown were sewn into her veil.
Congratulations, Rob and Sarah!
