Welcome
Hi! I'm Karen
a fully qualified, professional photographer based in Hertfordshire.
Your wedding will be exhilarating, romantic, exciting, fun, emotional, full of atmosphere, but most couples will tell you
it's a total whirlwind and a bit of a blur.
Choosing the right photographer for you, for one of the most important days of your life can be daunting especially if, like me, you don't enjoy having your photo taken. My quiet, unobtrusive approach means I am constantly looking and listening for the next laugh, loving glance and all the genuine magic moments. Even your couple portraits are taken from a distance whilst you take a quiet walk without me telling you where to look and how to feel. Everything will have been discussed at our pre-wedding meeting so that on the day you can relax, have time to breath and enjoy a few precious moments away from your guests. I believe it is a privilege to be asked to photograph your wedding and I work with the greatest care, attention and energy to create timeless, heartfelt images that preserve your unique story.
"Karen is a fantastic photographer and a lovely lady too. It’s been wonderful hearing comments from guests, not just about how lovely the pictures are, but about how lovely our photographer was as well... everyone loved her! Her photos are stunning, her service is amazing... we couldn’t recommend her enough." Moe & Kev.
EXPERIENCE
My Mum said that I was born with a camera in my hand. Following a three year course my childhood passion became my career. I worked in commercial studios in London and at a University.
Parkwin, covering weddings and other family celebrations was born in 2008. I have photographed hundreds of wonderful weddings and other family events around the Home Counties and beyond for over 15 years. From Cathedrals and Gurdwara to tipis, country mansions and more. From 400+ guests to intimate micro weddings of 6 people during the Pandemic. With a wealth of knowledge, experience and drive I ensure that you receive photographs to treasure forever.

MY STYLE & APPROACH
A professional yet personal approach, from initial consultation I listen to your ideas, requirements, how you want your day to flow and what you want from your photographs. Building a relationship that ensures you have the day of your dreams and photographs that you love, without it feeling like a photo shoot. The only time you will be conscious of me, is during any group photos you have requested. I keep these quick and fun so that you can return to your guests. The rest of the day I blend into the background. Your wedding your way.
