For the past few years I have been able to head out of state to shoot some destination weddings. For the next few days I am going to post a few. I have been extremely blessed by many of these couples and have been able to bring along my wonderful husband and make a vacation out of it! Here is the first, more to come tomorrow!
Door County, WI
Di-De and Max
Wedding month: June
So I have to be honest… I was floored when I recied an e-mail from the editor of MN bride stating that she not only wanted to use one wedding, but two weddings for the Spring/ Summer 2010 edition. It is a huuuggge honor for me. Kinda like the golden globes of wedding photography, (well this IS much smaller) but to be recognized in this way was so encouraging to me. Thank you, thank you, thank you to all my couples from 2009. I wish the magazine was large enough to publish all your beautiful weddings, they each deserve special recognition for the amount of time and energy spent making them so beautiful!
(Sorry about the quality of the images, I guess my scanner’s quality is not the best!)
That is so awesome, Karen! Congrats to a truly deserving photographer!
That’s so great Karen! CONGRATS!!! Fabulous pics! 🙂
LOVE THIS! hurray for the recognition of your fantastic work!
Here is one sweet video that I found on a blog I frequently check. I wish I would have thought of doing this for my wedding invites! Hope it fills your Monday morning with happiness!
2009 was an amazing year. I am so thankful for all the people that I got to meet along the way this year. When photographing weddings, I am introduced to many amazingly fun and wonderful people. I went through the past year’s weddings and of images, and chose a few of my favorites. I am so grateful for all my amazing clients, thank you for allowing me to be a part of y our very special day. Here’s to a beautiful 2009 year, and looking to see what’s ahead for the next decade!
Something that makes the world a better place to be in. Here are some of my favorite shots that have to do with laughter! I got this idea from a fellow photographer out in CA who’s blog I love following. Tons of cool ideas, I highly recommend checking her out! See HERE for Jasmine Star’s blog site.
Such a fun idea! One of Keith’s mom’s favorites from our wedding you did out here is of me cracking up at him making a funny face. 🙂 Love these Karen!
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!
