Karyn May Photography

k on their feet. There were a few instances where we needed to change locations for photo's and they didn't skip a beat. The photo's turned out beyond great to the point where we can't decide which ones we want to frame. They truly captured our wedding in a way that we will always remember and we are very grateful that they could be apart of it. Thanks Joe & Karyn!

elpful. I would highly recommend Karyn and Joe:).

eeting with them for our engagement session was a lot of fun because they were able to know more about our personalities and our lives while incorporating them into our photos. They were there to answer any questions we had and we would recommend them to anyone. Than you Karyn and Joe for helping make our day the best one yet!

at took the time to get to know our story and customized their normal package to what we wanted. Karyn was on time, professional, and really rolled with us as we requested different shots and shifted the shoot from mostly outside our hotel to all indoors since it was so hot and humid. It was done with a smile, great attitude and an natural ability to "see" great photos. I give Karyn May Photography my highest endorsement.

orked with my husband and me during our "outdoor engagement shoot' last year -- on the coldest day of the winter! She has an incredible eye for the perfect photo. We loved how our pictures turned out. I trust her and her husband wholeheartedly, and cannot wait to see the wedding photos. This couple is best in class when it comes to photography. The pictures turn out timeless and classic. I cannot wait to hire them for our future events. Thank you so much Karyn May Photography!! We loved working with you both! Sarah & Joel

phy. Their work is perfection and they are so easy to work with. When I got my pictures back I couldn't be more happy with them. They are gorgeous. I highly recommend Karyn May Photography. They are professional, talented, and very personable. One of the best decisions I made for my wedding.

ryn was so organized and really cared about what I wanted. She could see my vision and execute it way above my expectations. They made my wedding day so easy and worry free. I knew I could trust them with telling us how to pose as well as capturing photos when we didn't even notice. We also had a pretty rowdy bridal party, they moved fast and kept everyone comfortable while still getting incredible photos. My husband and I just received our wedding photos, we were completely blown away. I know I am biased but they are the most beautiful wedding photos I have ever seen. Everything from the poses to the lighting to the background and environment we were in, they are incredible! Book with Karyn May Photography, I am telling you, you will not regret it.

to answer my many questions and it felt as if I were talking to a longtime friend. Throughout the entire process Karyn and Joe were both beyond amazing. They have a way of making you and everyone else feel so relaxed and comfortable so that your best self shines through. Their vision and ability to capture the beauty of all the special moments of our wedding day still takes my breath away. I am incredibly thankful and honored to have had them both apart of one of the most amazing days of my life! I highly suggest Karyn and Joe to capture all those memorable moments of your life! The love they have for each other, their craft and making others smile truly makes them the best and must have for all occasions.

ctures of our wedding day were perfection. They captured every beautiful and candid moment of our wedding day and all of our family and friends, and everything was perfect. From my initial phone call with Karyn, I just knew she was the best fit and felt she really listened to exactly what we wanted our wedding day to be, and we have amazing photos to relive the best day ever for years to come. Thank you Karyn and Joe!!!

dating and can work with a variety of locations / schedules/special requests etc. We highly recommend them and their work!

othly. I'm thankful for the moments and memories they captured at my wedding!

to smile at the same time, but Karyn and Joe managed to do that without issues! The pictures are so real and in the moment, and captured a lot of personality and character of the wedding party, our guests, and the entire event. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding/event photographer! Thank you, Karyn & Joe! 😊

to worry if any shots were missed or if there was anything we should be doing differently. I would highly recommend Karyn and Joe to anyone!

shots in between. Karyn and Joe went above and beyond to ensure our wedding was photographed beautifully. They were extremely collaborative in the planning process along the way, and made us feel comfortable with their style at our engagement session. They day of the wedding was a breeze. I would recommend them as my #1 to anyone! You'll be extremely happy with the end product.

hich was really special for us, not to mention all of the wonderful photos that were taken between our engagement shoot and wedding. We highly recommend Karyn and Joe and can't imagine having chosen anyone else!

for pictures. On the day of the wedding, they were there right on time. I loved them. My husband loved them. I highly recommend them to everyone. Thank you Karyn and Joe. :-)

ommend Karyn & Joe!

tail and kept us on schedule the day of. They even spent time cruising around Holland before our wedding to pick out the perfect spots for photos! I would highly recommend Karyn May Photography services to every happy couple planning their wedding. They captured every special moment into beautiful photographs that will help us relive that magical day for the rest of our lives :)

ngagement session; they drove all the way to our home in Chicago and traveled across the city to take shots in four different places. They made a weird experience comfortable and fun. Our wedding was no different! It was like having old friends capture our most special moments on our perfect day. We are in love with all of our photos and are having a hard time picking favorites! Karyn and Joe gave us a way to hold on to our most precious memories and we couldn't ask for anything more important. Karyn and Joe have unbelievable talent and were so enjoyable to work with; I just hope they'll take our anniversary pictures in the future!

ple. They met and exceeded expectations, which in our case was tough since I am very detail oriented, and picky. Overall great experience!

phers were the right ones; and honestly, we could not have picked better!! We hired Karen and Joe to do our wedding on September 24th of this year. From our initial meeting, our stunning engagement pictures, all the way through the wedding day – it was definitely the best decision! Looking back at our wedding, they were so fantastic at making sure we got every shot we wanted, all-the-while being so happy, and excited to be with us on our big day! The married couple duo was perfect as we were getting ready. Joe was with the guys, and Karen with the ladies. It made it so easy throughout the day. We had a wedding of 415 people, a big, energetic bridal party, and not a lot of time to do pictures. We went into it knowing that we may not get all the pictures most couples get (because of our situation). Nonetheless Karen and Joe not only got every picture that we wanted/needed, they were able to get another 45 minutes of pictures done! They were so well prepared, efficient, and professional. Karen and Joe, take immense pride in their work, and know how important their role is. We saw this quality first hand with our engagement pictures and were immediately ecstatic to have their photography on our wedding day! They backed up everything they said in our initial meeting, and some, with their work. Our pictures were stunning. They get to know their clients, understand the angles they look good in, and make them feel so comfortable during it all. They can do all of this because they are superior photographers, yes, but maybe even more importantly – they are phenomenal people. We HIGHLY recommend their services for your special occasion. You will not be disappointed, and have such beautiful memories that will last a lifetime! Thank you again Karyn and Joe for making our entire engagement, as well as, the wedding day so unbelievably special!

one!

sy disposition and used humor and pluck to turn the chaos of family pictures into a delightful experience for everyone. They are so talented and creative and we simply loved every aspect of working with them.

e time of booking and they were very disappointed with the results. They only had a small handful from the entire day that were even acceptable for printing or to put in an album. When it was time for planning our wedding, we wanted to make sure that we did not end up in a similar position. We went to many bridal shows an met many photographers. While many of them looked good, Karyn and Joe stuck out to us among all of the rest. They are both some of the sweetest people you will ever meet! They were so personable, warm, and easy to get along with. Immediately after meeting them, we knew we wanted to work with them! Before our engagement shoot, we had a lot of conversation back and forth about shooting locations. Karyn had some really great ideas and insight and listened to our preferences to help find the perfect location. Our engagement shoot was so much fun and Karyn and Joe captured some really great moments, including some cute ones with our new puppy. The day of our wedding, Karyn and Joe were fantastic! They got shots of us getting ready separately as well as candid shots before our first look as well other little details we hadn’t even though of. We had picked out several shooting locations for before the ceremony with our bridal party, but unfortunately we were running a little late and were rushed for getting to all of our sites. They remained flexible and were able to get phenomenal shots at the spots we were still able to make it to. They were very organized throughout parts that could have been chaotic (family portraits). They got shots of the reception venue before it was filled with people which were absolutely gorgeous. They were able to get such entertaining dancing pictures of our guests as well as ones with people mingling. We, (as well as our guests) were so impressed with how they were able to capture so many beautiful moments of the day and did not insert themselves into the center of everything like I’ve seen with other wedding photographers. Once they finished editing, they sent them to us in such a cute package, proving that the details truly matter! Booking Karyn and Joe was the best decision we made during our planning process! They are such wonderful people to work with and are amazing at what they do! You will not be disappointed. Thank you again Karyn and Joe!

with, responded quickly to communication and, best of all, our pictures are stunning.

endly and thorough during the planning stages. I cannot recommend them enough!

ur laid back beach party. They were fantastic to work with, and flexible with the travel and logistics required for our venue. Couldn't ask for nicer people to work with. If you are looking for a wedding or special event photographer, we would highly recommend Karyn May Photography!

r behinds of f but they were not "working" while with us. We could tell they truly love what they are doing and they were enjoying themselves and it really shows through our spectacular images we received. I would recommend Karyn May Photography 150 times over. Words cannot describe how happy we are with our engagement and wedding photos!!!

to know them. That alone is a gift as Karyn and Joe are one of the sweetest couples you will ever meet! Your photographer is with you the majority of your day, so truly enjoying their company is really important. They were a pleasure to be around and the result was so many gorgeous photos. I felt like they truly captured the look and feel that I wanted and made my wedding photos unique. Karyn and Joe, I cannot thank you enough! XOXO

ng for, requested photos, styles, etc. It was phenomenal. The day of, Karyn and Joe took outstanding posed and candid photos of the night that I cannot stop showing off! They really go the extra mile- our photos arrived in the cutest box packaged with a bow and even a few extra prints! They are PHENOMENAL and I highly recommend!

nd). We asked if they would be willing to travel from GR to Traverse City and they were more than happy to do so. We had a blast shooting our engagement photos and were blown away at how cool those pictures turned out. On our wedding day, Karyn and Joe really helped make the day run smoothly. They were there shooting photos all day long, starting with getting ready and ending with awesome shots from our dance party at the end of the night. Our favorite part was when we were shooting our photos of just the two of us in the vineyard. They helped us loosen up and really look natural in all of our pictures. We loved that our photos really show off our personalities as there are many of us laughing as well as many very romantic pictures. We just got our pictures back and I have to say, I've probably looked at all 2000 pictures at least 10 times now. We are obsessed and couldn't be happier with out they turned out!

iendly, informative and had a genuine interest in me and my wedding plans. When meeting with them, my husband and I fell in love with they photography and their personalities. They had so many examples of their work to show us and we loved all of it. Their pricing was very good for what was provided and the quality of their photographs. They have a few different tier packages which allows brides to find one that is just right for them and their budget. The free engagement session was awesome. They spent the entire day with us and captured some of the best photos of us. They were so comfortable to be around that day and on the wedding day when there is a lot going on. My husband and I come from big and involved families and they got along with every single family member. Our moms loved them and we barely noticed they were taking pictures. They worked great with our venue coordinators and our Catholic Parish. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend! Seriously...no one better out there!

his arm the night before our engagement photo session but we still decided to hop on the plane and fly back to Michigan for it! We were both extremely nervous as it was our first time ever having professional pictures taken together and now dealing with a broken arm. Let me just say...even with a huge cast on his arm the photos turned out so great that most people didn't even notice the cast until I mentioned it to them. We had such a fun and enjoyable time that we knew our wedding day would be just as great. Karyn and Joe were loved by our families and all of our guests on our big day. We were lucky to have been able to have photos taken at two different sites; which they had visited prior to the wedding day to make sure it was what I had wanted. Their fun personalities made picture taking so enjoyable not just for us but our entire wedding party as well. We have gotten so many compliments from our friends here in Texas on how great our wedding photos were....but the best part is THEY TRAVEL!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM! YOU WILL BE GLAD YOU DID!

hat with me, and get a sense of the style and aesthetic of our wedding. It was by no means a cookie-cutter experience and I really appreciated the personal touch. On our wedding day they were incredibly professional and focussed, but also so fun to be around. You can tell they genuinely love what they do and it shows in their work. They are truly a dynamic duo - cannot recommend them highly enough!

yn May's blog and immediately fell in love. There wasn't another photographer that matched her ability to take the perfect photo. Once my husband and I met Karyn and Joe, that was it! Done deal. They are not only professional, but they are so down to earth, caring, and beyond creative. Karyn and Joe arrived at our wedding venue ready to work, but made us feel so comfortable that we could be ourselves, be silly, tell them our mouth hurt from smiling, and that the sun was hurting our eyes! Their flexibility meant so much to us as the weather changed from bright and sunny to perfectly overcast. We could go on and on about why Karyn and Joe are the perfect choice. Check out their blog. Meet them. It's the best decision you will make for your special day. Say YES!

Joe, a husband and wife dynamic team, just happened to be the first couple I reached out to and they set the bar so high. To be honest, I thought it was just about finding someone who could take a beautiful picture and edit it to make it even better – I was so wrong. I learned that photographers turn into family that day and Karyn & Joe were, and are, just that. From meeting them at our engagement session, all the way until the last minute of our reception, they were AMAZING. Not only do they work fantastic together, but they are just as impressive as individual photographers and as people. The dynamic duo made my husband and I feel beyond comfortable at every turn; we had Karyn & Joe with us for 12 hours on our wedding day and every second was absolute bliss. They kept up with the craziness of the day, and made our day even more PERFECT. They are passionate and motivated about what they do and it is so evident in their work and personalities. They were timely, outgoing, professional, patient, courteous, and fun to say the least. We never once felt like “customers or clients”, but truly felt like friends and family. A photograph is something that lasts forever, and has the ability to hold a memory that one can cherish for a lifetime – Karyn & Joe did just that for us. They ever so beautifully captured our special day and gave us the ability to relive it, for days and years to come. If you are reading this, please know you cannot go wrong in choosing, or at least looking into, Karyn & Joe May for your photography - your wedding day will fly by and one of the few things you can physically touch and look at after your wedding are your wedding pictures. A wedding should be one of the most, if not THE MOST, important days of your life – choosing Karyn & Joe May to capture our fairytale of a day was a decision that will pay off for the rest of our lives! There is no need to sugarcoat it - they are exquisite people and talented photographers... they are simply amazing. #TEAMMAY

e from a simple online search, set up a meeting with her and her husband, Joe, and instantly fell in love! Her work was fabulous and they were just the nicest people ever! I booked a package with her that also included our engagement session. Karyn worked with us and made sure we were happy with everything. She scouted out locations and let me tell you, they were absolutely perfect!! Karyn and her team paid extra close attention to all of the important details at my wedding and I couldn't be more thrilled to have had such a wonderful experience. The photos turned out absolutely stunning and I wouldn't dream of recommending anyone. If your number one vendor priority is photography then you MUST have Karyn May Photography! Thank you again, Karyn and Joe! Much love!

nner afterwards. They are truly down to earth and are willing to help make your day special. Their communication was top notch and the quality of product we received for the wedding and engagement photos were excellent. We would not recommend anyone else and would hire them again in the future!

won't find a more down-to-earth, genuine, caring couple and they just happen to be top-notch photographers too! We were impressed with how many times they've won Best of Weddings, but after meeting and working with them it's easy to see why! You absolutely can't go wrong with them!

r engagement session we knew the wedding would be great! Karyn and Joe got all of the shots we wanted on our big day! They are so fun to work with! One of the best things to hear was from our families the next day when they told us how much they had loved meeting and working with Karyn and Joe all day. A fun, professional, and talented team!

r and make you feel extremely comfortable. Their strategy of having Karyn as the first shooter with Joe shooting behind the scenes works amazing. You get portrait like photos as well as natural, in the moment photos. We were thrilled with our engagement shoot, (http://www.karynmay.com/kristen-chris-engagement-karyn-may-photography-spring-lake-engagement-photographers/) and our experience with Karyn and Joe only got better on our wedding day! Karyn shot us girls getting ready, while Joe was with the boys. We then had our full ceremony, family portraits, wedding party, reception all photographed. Not one moment was missed and there is not one photo we don't absolutely love! All of our friends who have been in weddings or recently got married also raved about Karyn and Joe and how AWESOME they were the entire day. We feel so lucky to have worked with them and had our most special day captured by two professional and passionate photographers!

me. Karyn and Joe made everything so much simpler. Karyn always was available to answer questions and put my mind at ease. When I got to meet them in person at our engagement photos it confirmed everything I already thought of them. When our pictures came back we were THRILLED to say the least. My husband (fiance at the time) was laughing at me because I had one of our engagement pictures in every room. On our wedding day, they were amazing as well. The got every shot I could have ever wanted and more. Everyone has come up to me and told me how beautiful my wedding photos are. I owe that to Karyn and Joe. They have my highest recommendation. I promise you would not regret them being a part of such an important day.

eative, and professional, but they created a layer of warmth and a comfortable atmosphere both for my husband and I, and our entire bridal party on the day of our wedding. They have a magical way of capturing all of the important details of the day that you may have missed in the craziness of the day otherwise. Her photos are edited in a very natural manner, and have a very clean and clear composition. I can't wait to share all of the gorgeous pictures and memories with all of our family and friends. We will make sure that Karyn and Joe will be a part of all our future celebrations. Thank you a million times over!

we wanted in our wedding pictures and made sure that all the decisions we made were ones that would stay true to our taste and vision! We got so many compliments on our engagement pictures and had a hard time narrowing it down to just one for our save the date, so we were certain we were in good hands for our wedding day pics. The day of our wedding Karyn & Joe were above and beyond anything we could have asked for. We had planned for an outdoor ceremony and reception, but as the wedding approached we realized the weather wasn't looking like it was going to cooperate. Karyn worked with me to come up with a Plan B for photos if it did rain so that we would be able to get beautiful pictures and not get us or our bridal party soaking wet (our venue did not have many covered places)! The day of the wedding her and Joe patiently monitored the storm forecast for us and were in constant contact with our vendors at the venue to get their opinion on what the weather looked like there. They patiently listened to all my concerns and answered my questions to help me decide what the best game plan would be for me and my husband. Ultimately, their patience calm demeanor set the tone and everyone followed their lead. During our reception they were always one step ahead, any time I would ask to make sure they got a picture, they would either already have gotten it done or have a fabulous idea on some way to improve the picture. When we were blessed with a few moments of sunlight and a double rainbow right before dinner, Karyn & Joe didn't skip a beat, but went running with us outside onto the golf course to take advantage of the light! The few "sneakpeeks" I saw of these images with the sun, were truly breathtaking and made the rain completely worth it! Beyond being the most extremely gifted and talented photographers there are, Karyn & Joe are amazing people and you could not find better wedding photographers!!

emails from Karyn, but I never once had a question as to what was going on. They were so professional and knew exactly what they were doing A all the way to Z. THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING!! I was the type of bride that didn't want to deal with all the nitty gritty details, I wanted to show up and have an amazing time with my husband and because of this duo and the wonderful Modern Day Floral team we got to do just that. Karyn spent numerous hours with me on the phone giving me ideas for timeline, as well as, other little things that I don't feel any other photographer would have taken the time to do. The May's are some of the most "real" people I have ever met. I felt right away I could be myself in front of the camera. Even my husband (who isn't exactly that comfortable in front of the camera) was incredibly photogenic because he felt so as ease. I feel like it really helped my husband having Karyn AND Joe there. He could relate to Joe and they instantly hit it off. It was wonderful for the day of the actual wedding too, because Joe shot the guys all day and Karyn was with us doing "girly things". :) BEAUTIFUL PHOTOS!!! I have NEVER i mean NEVER felt more beautiful in my life than I do when I look at the photos they took. From our engagement photos to our wedding photos they really captured the true beauty of us individually and as a couple. If you are like me, I was pretty skeptical of doing a "boudoir shoot" for the sheer fact that I don't feel I have a "sexy bone" in my body. Karyn assured me that you don't have to be "sexy" to do these photos. I walked in feeling a little uneasy (my own issues not hers), but I knew my husband would cherish these photos forever. All I can say is "WOW!" The photos she took were SO tasteful, classic, classy, and caught every ounce of my personality. I am so happy I decided to do a shoot because I know I would have regretted it. I am rating Karyn May Photography a 5 Star, but I would times that by 1000 if I could. They have amazing communication, they take beautiful photos and they are some of the most genuine people I know. You would be silly to consider anyone else! XO Olivia and Adam Kipen

yn and Joe are SO nice and they capture the most beautiful photos. They were very quick to respond to any questions I had and were very professional from the start to the end. I highly recommend using Karyn and Joe if you want the best photos EVER!

gest fan of getting his picture taken) and I so comfortable. Our pictures turned out absolutely beautiful. Karyn & Joe know how to capture the special moments of the day without flaw, and, in turn, create a story that is uniquely YOU! They are such an excellent team. When you book with Karyn May Photography, you are getting two photographers that are supremely talented and love what they do. Go with Karyn & Joe- it will be the easiest and best decision you will make for your perfect day!

aryn and Joe for coffee before the wedding to go over the final details and get to know each other a bit. They really wanted to understand what was important to us, what we envisioned for our wedding day and photos and had great suggestions and advice for us from their vast experience. When the big day arrived everything went wonderfully. They had great locations picked out for us and kept the pictures moving along without missing any details. We couldn't have asked for better photographers to spend our entire day with, they were true professionals and wonderful people to be around. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a photographer.

and I that we found a photographer we really had a connection with. From the first time that we met with Karyn and Joe we knew we had made the right decision. They are two of the most genuine people we have ever met, and throughout the process of our engagement photos and wedding we really felt that they understood our vision. They also had great recommendations for other vendors, including the amazing Modern Day Floral that we ended up using for our florals and event planning. On the day of our wedding, Karyn and Joe were amazing, they had unique suggestions for photos, were always on time, and really made both of us, our wedding party and family and friends feel so comfortable throughout the day. They really have a sense of calmness and ease about them that truly made our wedding day unforgettable from beginning to end. Even with trying to coordinate a large wedding party and many family photographs, Karyn and Joe never seemed stressed or overwhelmed. We can't wait to see the photos from our wedding day, but have no doubts that they will be incredible. Karyn and Joe really have a way of bringing out the little details and special moments in their pictures that we love. We feel so blessed to have met both Karyn and Joe and hope that they can bring this feeling to so many other couples in the future, love you guys!

exible, professional, and enjoyable to be around. We cannot recommend them enough. They are the perfect team to capture your big day.

d out *amazing*!! During our wedding day, they helped to keep us (as well as our family) relaxed and organized. Karyn and Joe make a great team, friendly and fantastic to work with and the photographs are amazing, we can't recommend them enough!!!

e wanted to be photographed, and they gave us great suggestions as well. It is really nice working with a married couple, because you get two angles on the photography. We LOVE their work and love their personalities! They also offer many different packages for different price points, which we really liked.

r one focus. They focus on creating photographs that are unique to your personality and do an amazing job capturing the in-the-moment photographs that become so special to you. Not only do they take the time to get to know you, they also go ahead to your location to ensure great photography locations prior to your photo shoots. Every photograph they give you has passed their rigorous standards to ensure you are happy with their work. We are extremely pleased we chose to have Karyn and Joe be our photographers!

are very photogenic. They were with us for every step of the way on the wedding day but were never obtrusive. They were real ninjas in the way they captured photos from afar and from various angles. We absolutely love our photos and highly recommend them!

e because we wanted a clean but classic look to our photographs and that is exactly what we got.

le with both of them. They have incredible talent and capture beautiful moments with precision and quality that is remarkable. While Karyn May Photography has a signature style (which is gorgeous), Karyn & Joe were also willing to accommodate to any special photo requests. They made us both feel comfortable and natural while photographing us, so that they truly were able to capture "real-life" moments between us during both our engagement session and on our wedding day. We feel that we received more than our money's worth by working with them, and are truly so happy to have chosen Karyn May Photography to photograph our special day. We would recommend them to anyone. -Lauren

to enjoy our wedding day, not being dragged every which way for pictures. Karyn and JOe make the best team. Having two photographers (especially one male and one female) was AWESOME. They exceeded our expectations in every way and our photos are beautiful. There are so many to choose from we haven't even been able to decide on our albums yet. We cannot say enough good things about Karyn May Photography!

but none stood out to us. That is until we came upon Karyn May's website. The pictures were so beautiful and natural, and we just loved the work. We contacted Karyn for more info, and she was really friendly, professional and answered all of our questions. On the day of our engagement session, we were having such a blast that the time just flew by. Karyn and Joe made us feel so comfortable and at ease. My husband hates taking pictures, and never even once complained or asked what time it was. I was impressed! On the day of our wedding, Karyn and Joe were right on time and ready to start shooting. They were such a blast and easy to work with. Our whole family even commented on how great they were! Karyn and Joe worked as such a great team together, we couldn't wait to see the pictures. When we got the pictures, the results were absolutely amazing. They were so detailed on the shots they captured and everything looked fantastic. We couldn't have been happier with their energy, professionalism, and quality of work. We highly recommended Karyn May Photography!!

re involving two great friends in the process. Between the engagement photo session and our wedding day, Karyn and Joe made us feel like we were their only clients in the whole world. They put 110% effort into your day by pre-scouting out locations, working with you on your timeline (like the wedding coach you never knew you needed!), and even listening to your crazy photo ideas! Aside from being super fun with their humor, flexibility, and positive attitudes, their talent is out of this world. It was definitely easy to put complete faith in what they do best allowing you some much needed relaxation as a bride on your big day. They are definitely a hidden gem in the photography world, so if you want the absolute best, look no further!

hemistry that I had been looking for in a relationship between bride/groom and photographer. The studio was gorgeous, clean, and had amazing images hung all over the walls. The presentation they had was exceptional. I had no doubt in my mind that they would be the perfect fit for us and capture every moment I would hold dear to my heart. When I left I was beyond excited, I knew this would be the right choice, the PERFECT choice! After we contacted them to solidify them as our photographers, we talked engagement pictures in Traverse City. Karyn and Joe jumped in their car, drove the 2.5 hours up with huge smiles on their faces and took amazing engagement pictures. The processing time was quick and seamless. There was a blog post for some sneak peeks and the CD with all the images came shortly after. The CD was packaged very professionally and super cute. Then came the wedding day, AMAZING!! Those two work so smoothly and professionally, never making me feel bossed around or like it wasn't my day. They made us the center of attention. Their professionalism had all my family members wishing they used Karyn at their weddings. They were willing to go anywhere we wanted, switch up the schedule we had planned, and running to site to make sure it was the perfect lighting and background. They would bend over backwards to make us happy, never pushing us to do anything we didn't want to do and they were calm. Some photographers can get hyper and bossy, that was definitely not the case with Karyn and Joe. Amazing. I can't even put into words how awesome these two are. I would HIGHLY recommend Karyn May Photography to ANYONE! For any photographic needs, you will be happy you booked them. Thank you SOOO much Karyn and Joe! You guys ROCK!

ruly tell! Would recommend them to anyone!

family and friends at the wedding. I really think that's why they took such wonderful photographs...they really became a part of the celebration, and took pictures that captured the real feel of the ceremony and reception. If they were just great people, that would be enough, but they are fantastic photographers as well. Every shot they took was beautiful. And (I'm not sure how we worked this out, since my wife set everything up) we got discs with all of our pictures so we didn't have to choose certain shots from a set of proofs...I think that's great. We are so happy that we chose Karyn May Photography to capture the memories of our wedding day!

e all the way to Chicago to take our engagement pictures. They took incredible pictures in Chicago as always. We spent an entire day with them and felt very comfotable. It feels like you are hanging out with a friend. Their enthusiasm they have for their work really sets them apart. Their pictures have style and are unique. On our wedding day they could not have been more helpful. They did everything they could to make us feel comfortable. They really go above and beyond to capture the special moments of the day. My husband and I love all the photos they took. There are so many incredible photos we don't know which ones to frame! We would strongly reccommend them. Their work is top notch and they are a joy to work with!

above and beyond every step of the way. On the day of our engagement photos, they drove all the way to our ceremony venue so they could get a feel for what our day would look like, and that was before the hours they spent with us, at three different locations taking engagement pictures. But nothing topped the wedding day. I spoke with Karyn beforehand and we planned out the whole day: timing, locations, ideas, etc. and everything went exactly as planned. They were sweet, accommodating, got to know our families and best of all, took great pictures! We just received our proofs back from them and oh. my. goodness. they were amazing. I cried, laughed and couldn't stop talking about them. The best advice I could give to someone using Karyn and Joe is to tell them ahead of time what is important to you and the style that you are looking for - They will do everything they can to make your day special and deliver a quality service.
