Meet Karen
l HAVE BEEN dedicated to wedding photography since 2012 creating elegant, sensitive and romantic fine art images for clients across Cheshire, Lancashire and Yorkshire.
I AM AN ARTIST BY NATURE with a passion for storytelling. l look for natural beauty and grace in everything. My goal is to create clean, stylish imagery that is cohesive and consistent in quality and colour. I’m not a fan of heavy post-production, as l believe in getting your images right-in camera to produce a photograph that is natural, ethereal and beautifully timeless.
MY STYLE is elegant, classical and dreamy. It reflects my appreciation of the arts and my love for nature. I enjoy working with the beauty of natural light and a warm pastel colour palette. My work is also influenced by my passion for black and white photography reminiscent of ‘old world’ glamour.
MY APPROACH is considered and thoughtful. The connections l make with my clients are very important to me, along with providing a good customer experience. l put time and preparation in getting to know you. Your story, your vision, which helps me to create a stylish and intimate portrait of your wedding day.
I WAS a professional ballet dancer and a former graduate with the Royal Academy of Dance Professional Dancer’s Teacher’s Diploma. A Leverhulme scholarship winner l trained at the Royal Ballet School and fulfilled my childhood dream of becoming a dancer.
l LIVE with my partner Roger in the ‘house of my dreams’. We have the best-of-both-worlds living with the rural idyll of Cheshire and the creative powerhouse of Manchester. Our home fulfils and reflects our desire to live in a minimalist, light infused white space with clean lines and devoid of clutter – well, most of the time!
l HAVE an enquiring mind and a lifelong love of learning. l have been a teacher of classical ballet, Pilates and studied Gyrotonics. l trained in ‘Space Clearing” the feng shui art of clearing and revitalising energies in buildings and once ran my own dried flower design business. l am qualified in Holistic Massage, Reflexology and Reiki as well as my continuing study of yoga and sourcing new ways to improve, upgrade and enhance my client wedding experience.
I CONFESS to being the world’s worst social networker! (something l’m working on) You can still track me down though the old-fashioned way by email or phone. Or follow me on Instagram
WHEN NOT BEHIND THE LENS l am obsessed by the cinema, Film noir and old movies of any genre. l am grateful for the beautiful practice of yoga and mindfulness. l am inspired by architecture, the work of Henk van Rensberg and florals. l love my first coffee of the day, prosecco, vegetarian food, dark chocolate, christmas trees, fruit cake, books and creating a beautiful home..
l also love what l do. And making people smile.
l BELIEVE IN LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP And being true to yourself and following your heart…
If you think l’m the right photographer for your day and if my style and approach resonates with you, please do get in touch! l can’t wait to hear about your big day!
