Timeless, natural photography for romantic souls—guided by an American who knows France's most beautiful, hidden corners
About Karina
Hello!
Bonjour! 👋
Former Minnesotan, then Los Angeleno, I traded the glitz and glamour of Hollywood more than 12 years ago for lavender fields, hilltop villages, golden Mediterranean light, and the Eiffel Tower. Now my joy in life is helping couples like you say “I do,” “yes!,” or “let’s run away together” in one of the most beautiful corners of the world, La Belle France! 🇫🇷
As a professional photographer, I specialize in proposals, elopements, weddings, and couples sessions across the South of France and often, Paris. My work is all about the in-between moments: the happy tears, the nervous laughter, the squeeze of a hand. I turn them into timeless images you’ll treasure for a lifetime.
I’m endlessly inspired by medieval stone villages, mountain views, vineyards & olive groves, and the sparkling sea, and I weave all of that French magic into every frame.
Because I’m a local who speaks your language (English with an American accent), I’m more than just your photographer. I’m your guide, your planner, and your friendly face on the ground. I’ll help you choose the perfect locations, time things for the best light, and handle the details, so you can relax and simply enjoy being in love in France.
Welcome, nice to meet you! 🥂
I'm Karina
