My favorite photographs are full of spontaneous moments. They are images that capture the heart and soul of your celebration and family. I want to tell your unique story with treasured photos-all the smiles, tears, excitement, and fun. Schooled in photography I set the camera down for a while and made my living as a graphic designer.
Wedding photography is just one aspect of your big day but it's definitely worth the investment if you hire a professional. Your wedding photos are heirlooms for you and your family. You will look back at these images for years to come so you want them to be the very best they can possibly be-no regrets.
Most couples are new to wedding planning and have no idea where to begin. You may not even know what to ask a professional wedding photographer. Typically you'll spend a lot of time reading wedding magazines and Googling "Things to ask Your Wedding Photographer" so let's just get to it. You've got questions?

Karen was great. She took extended family photos for us. My 12 and 13 year old sons were not excited about this chore and neither was my husband. She was quick (tons of photos in only one hour), had a great personality and made everyone feel comfortable. My boys said, “that was actually fun.” The photos themselves were great. Highly recommend.

Karen and her assistant took amazing pictures for our daughter Cheyanna & Vinnie Vitelle‘s wedding. She was just amazing! We hired her blindly as we were preparing a destination wedding, not knowing what we were up against. We could not have any more amazing pictures that the ones that Karen took. Her patients and organization with the bride, wedding party and all of the guest was incredible. She took her time to meet and greet everyone understanding who they were In the bride and groom’s life so she can take special pictures. We are beyond grateful. This pictures will last an hour and memories

We had Karen do our family reunion shoot. She was amazing! We had a large group including small children she captured everyone beautifully. She was very accommodating. She took several group shots as well as individual families or people for us. We couldn't be happier with our photos! Highly highly recommended Karen Doody for your next shoot!

We were fortunate to have Karen Doody photograph our daughter’s oceanfront rehearsal dinner. Karen is very friendly, calm, and professional. She was able to perfectly and expertly photograph the scenery, setting sun, food and guests. She even made arrangements while there to photograph family groups on the beach. Many of our guests have used them for family portraits. We were thrilled with the way she captured the event. Every picture is amazing-showcasing the fun of the evening and the love of our daughter and son-in-law. Our pictures came out to be above and beyond our expectations! Our experience

She is amazing! I had her take my senior pictures and was absolutely blown away. I have not received my full gallery yet, but she sent two previews and both are beyond my highest hopes. She is creative and personable, the pictures didn't feel forced or posed; we were just hanging out, and she happened to have a camera! I could not have asked for anything more than Karen Doody and would recommend her to anyone else!

My Husband and I could not have asked for a better photographer! Five stars across the board! When we first met her, we fell in love all over again! Her personality rocked!! She is so personal and into your wedding. She will make you feel like you are the only bride and groom that matters!! She is easy to get in contact with whenever you need her. Karen pays close attention to the small details that you will be happy she catches. At our wedding Karen actually got on her back on the floor to catch the perfect shot!! She gets your pictures back to you in a timely manner!

My daughter and I chose Karen because from the start we felt very comfortable with her, she was very friendly . She didn't disappoint us on this important day. Karen did a fabulous job on our precious pictures. You can't go wrong with Karen. She and her sister did an amazing job and are loads of fun.

From the moment I met Karen Doody at the bridal show in Morehead City, NC I knew that it was meant to be for her to photograph my wedding.
Karen did a phenomenal job with my whole wedding experience. She did my engagement photos (which are gorgeous despite strong wind and freezing cold), my bridal portraits (which are amazing despite a day full of pouring rain), and my wedding. I can’t begin to describe how much all of these photos mean to me. Karen managed to perfectly capture the love between Corey and me.
On my wedding day, I was so nervous and excited. Karen was so professional, kind, and

We had been waiting for five months to finally get our engagement photos shot. We chose Karen because we loved her previous photo sessions with other customers AND she was such a great deal for the price. Let me just say that right off the start, she offers an incredible deal for the quality of photos that she delivered. She was so incredibly down to earth that even my fiancé felt comfortable doing a photo shoot with multiple shots and ideas. She knew all the best spots to go and was incredibly fun to work with. She was so fast to get us our photos and, we were so incredibly impressed and happy
