When I found Karen, it was like the light at the end of the tunnel. Trying to plan a wedding this year was harder than I ever imagined it would be. With everyone waiting for COVID to be over and to finally have their wedding (us included, bein...g engaged since December 2019, before the pandemic even hit), every vendor we had tried to reach out to was already booked and so busy trying to keep up with inquiries. I feel for vendors in the wedding business these past few years! When I heard about Karen from a good friend, I reached out right away. Could you believe she actually was available for our date? It was meant to be!
Karen was so quick to get back to me and so willing to answer any questions we had and to schedule a meeting right away. Not only did she have our date open, her pricing was even in our budget. We even finally got in an engagement photoshoot (3 years later), which was a part of her package.
Our photoshoot with her was so much fun. She came on time and was super excited to get shooting. We showed up with our outfits and our pups and we just did our thing with Karen as our guiding light. She was so friendly and we just felt comfortable with her right away. Can you believe we got a sneak peak of our photoshoot an hour later? I loved every photo she posted and could not pick just one favorite. The rest of the photos came to us electronically within the next day or so! So fast!
Before the wedding, we touched based about timelines a couple of times and she was also willing to help in anyway or offer any advise if we needed it.
Day of the wedding, her and her second photographer were right on time as anticipated. They got to work right away. Karen was with me and the girls as we finished getting ready and her second photographer was with the guys as they got ready. They even got pictures of the guys getting our 3 dachshunds ready in their little tuxedos. Karen knew exactly what shots she wanted and was also sure to ask us if there were any specific shots we wanted her to include as well. After getting ready, we had our ceremony photos, then moved on to photos with family and bridal party and then photos of just us before moving on to the reception. Karen was very detailed and always made sure to remind us about our positioning in order to get the right shots. She got all of the detailed photos of the venue (Troublemakers Acres), all of the beautiful desserts my mother made, all of the details we had carefully put together and all of the details of the most perfect flowers from my florist (Rooted Flowers Farm). We had so much fun at the reception she actually came to me to let me know she had actually filled up all of her cards with photos which she had not done in some time. They were with us from start to almost the end of the night.
The next morning, there was chatter of what beautiful pictures were posted. I went to see right away! Her sneak peaks were posted the next morning, I couldn't even believe it. Again, I loved all of them! We were off to our honeymoon that night, and by the time we were back home the following week, we had a thumb drive she had mailed with all of our photos. I still cannot stop looking at them all.
I highly recommend Karen Geaghan Photography. Karen is a wonderful person with a lot of experience and even though she is so busy, she still finds time for YOU to make sure you are happy! Beyond grateful to have found this lovely woman.
