Karen Obrist Photography

Incredible work & lovely human!

I've worked with Karen as both a colleague and a client, and I have nothing but good things to say about her! Not only are her photos incredible, she is also a super organized and effective communicator, which makes pre-wedding planning and organizing all of the photos during the event SO EASY. She's captured family photos for me a couple of times, and they're some of my most treasured photos. She's also just a super kind, lovely person to be around - which is super important when you'll be spending so much of your wedding day with your photographer! She adds so much ease to the experience and turns out incredible photos with tons of thoughtfully edited photos to choose from.

Karen is amazing!

Karen is absolutely wonderful. She is super talented and has a unique gift of capturing precious and candid moments. Moreover, she is the sweetest person and a true professional. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her services to anyone!

DREAM Photographer / AMAZING Eye

Karen is an amazing photographer with an INCREDIBLE EYE! She captures moments and details that most people miss, but that everyone wants to remember. I worked with Karen at a wedding on the California Coast and was so impressed by her professionalism, warm demeanor and efficiency. The images from the wedding (and my florals) were stunning. I recommend Karen wholeheartedly, and can't wait to work with her again!

If you are looking for a wedding photographer, look no further. You have found Karen, and Karen is the best. As someone who has not always loved the way I looked in photos, I felt so confident and at ease with Karen. She made me feel so comfortable at both our engagement shoot and during our wedding weekend. I knew she was capturing not just our best angles, but our joy and our love for one another. Now, looking back at our wedding and engagement photos is one of my favorite things to do. Her eye for color and composition are matched only by her ability to enshrine real emotion in a photograph. We love the way our wedding photos look, but most importantly, we love the genuine happiness radiating through the screen. We feel so lucky that we have these keepsakes forever. It's hard to pick only a few favorites. Thank you Karen!!!

Karen is beyond wonderful—an exceptionally talented photographer and the kindest soul. We have been doing our family photos with Karen for the last four years. She is patient, great with kids (and dogs!), and somehow always manages to take the best photos of our family despite the constant chaos of wrangling a toddler and overactive goldendoodle! She is magical! Cannot recommend her highly enough for any photography needs—we will forever cherish the memories Karen has captured for our family and look forward to our annual sessions with her.
