Karyn May Photography

dding had several ups and downs the months leading up to it due to COVID, but they made it clear that their intentions were to make my husband and I’s day spectacular (safely of course). I cannot recommend them enough. The pictures we got back are phenomenal. They capture every detail of the day, and everyone I show says they’re some of the best wedding pictures they’ve ever seen. THANK YOU Karyn and Joe for truly capturing the beauty and joy of the best day of our lives. Love you both!

mend them to any and everyone. When we move back to Michigan, I want them to take out finally photos :) we love them!

aphy timeline and staying on track during my wedding day. Her and Joe were a dream to work with and I would highly recommend them to any couple!

ll as assuring that the day was on track and staying on time. We highly recommend them and assure you that you will not regret the decision! We absolutely loved every single one of our photos!

d we could not have been happier with them on our wedding day for several reasons. From the day of timeline planning, figuring out where to shoot, keeping the schedule on time (even better than our planner), and keeping me calm! They are just the nicest people who made us feel comfortable on our wedding day, which is huge because you spend a significant part of the day around your photographers. They are true professionals and another reason why I recommend them is because they enjoy what they do. As you continue wedding planning, you need to make sure you surround yourself with not only skilled individuals, but also people who have a passion for this market. And Karyn and her husband exude these qualities! Kudos to them!

e we met them, I knew that they were perfect for the job. They made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and were so easy to get along with. The day ran incredibly smoothly and we had a blast getting to know Karyn and Joe. My wife hasn't stopped looking at our wedding photos. If you are looking for a 5 star photographer I would strongly recommend karynmayphtography

nd I would highly recommend to any bride or groom looking for reliable photography.

photography request list, and captured some unbelievable moments we'll remember forever.

deographer so I was really happy to see they had captured every moment of our big day in the pictures. All of our family and friends were so impressed by them and we absolutely love how our pictures turned out. I couldn't have wished for anything more on our big day. Thank you!! 😊

s the candid. So, you end up having two different views of the same moment. Karyn made sure to communicate plenty to ensure that we were all on the same page on the big day, especially being that it was a long distance wedding. After doing the initial consultation with Karyn, it was clear that we were in good hands and we never once stressed over photos. Not to mention, this couple is a blast!!! We had so much fun with them, they truly made our day that much more special. I can't say enough special things about these two. The pictures turned out absolutely amazing and we will cherish them for a long time to come!

redible work but she was so fun to work with! And you get two photographers- her husband joe was awesome as well. The two together make an amazing team. They were professional and helped us to set a timeline so we knew exactly what to expect and made sure that we were on track throughout the whole day. She made my husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera and she made sure to Capture all of our special moments. I am more than pleased with the service I received from Karyn May Photography and would recommend her to any bride looking for stunning wedding photos and 2 fabulous photographers to work with.

mfortable. We especially enjoyed Joe’s “dad jokes” to get us laughing which in turn made for some awesome shots. :) They’re so professional and kind. You can truly tell that they give you their all to capture amazing moments. I would recommend them to everyone! Beyond blessed to have had them capture our day for us and I can say with confidence that we will hire them for future occasions!

y reminding us where we needed to be and when! They were flexible when working with us to choose a package and always communicated well and on time. They captured all of the right moments for us and we will treasure our photos forever!

re looking for. The pictures end up bright, happy, timeless, and super crisp. We love our pictures! Their work is on their website so not much else to write on that since you can see it for yourself. Personalities: Both Karyn and Joe are extremely cheerful people and you can tell they are 100% invested in capturing the perfect images and making your day go well. They made our engagement session and wedding day go by without a hitch. Work Conduct: -100% professional. -We had communication issues with other vendors but encountered none of that with Karyn. She responded to our emails/texts promptly and addressed any questions or concerns we had. -They were punctual with all of our in person meetings and never late. -They were able to select the outdoor locations for our wedding shoot which turned out perfect (we told them we'd go wherever they recommend). -For the engagement session my wife and I asked for a specific location outside of Grand Rapids which they were happy to accommodate (they actually gave us extra time as we had phenomenal lighting and they wanted to make sure we took advantage of it). I could keep writing, but you get the point. They're awesome. Thanks Karyn and Joe!

ght, classic wedding and engagement photos that we will truly cherish for a lifetime. Karyn and Joe are professional, talented, and sweet. Multiple guests commented to us on how wonderful and accommodating they were during our ceremony and reception. If you want stunning photos, hire Karyn May Photography!

dding, even down to finding local flower shops and bakeries to help us. She spent time looking for locations to take pictures. I was clueless on what to do and she helped us through everything. The whole experience was amazing. The pictures are phenomenal and I couldn't ask for better wedding photographers. Thank you Karyn and Joe!

professional and organized. The pictures were quick and painless and my husband and I will cherish them forever. I highly recommend them. Thank you so much Karyn and Joe!

th anyone else. What I loved the most was how well they can think 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!

d out beautiful. They are organized and efficient which was so helpful. I would highly recommend Karyn and Joe:).

e wedding party and they did an AMAZING job getting us all in. Meeting 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!

graphers we contacted, Karyn May Photography was the only one that 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.

ey are extremely fun to work with and 100% professional. Karyn worked 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

day. I highly recommend this sweet couple for any occasion!!

ere was no questions I wanted anyone else but Karyn May Photography. 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.

many people, we knew we had to go book them for our wedding. Karyn 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.

spoke to Karyn I was immediately put at ease. She took the time 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.

omfortable and carefree during the whole wedding process. The pictures 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!!!

ike their lighting style! They are also very responsive, accommodating and can work with a variety of locations / schedules/special requests etc. We highly recommend them and their work!

They are a wonderful team and helped make my wedding day run smoothly. I'm thankful for the moments and memories they captured at my wedding!

y photos to choose from! It's never easy getting our 4 children 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! 😊

and made sure we got exactly what we wanted. I never once had 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!

apture the big moments along with the small details, and candid 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.

asked for our engagement shoot to be done in Ann Arbor, also, which 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!

future.

Karyn was always kind and helpful. They had lots of great ideas 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. :-)

el very comfortable in front of the camera. Would absolutely recommend Karyn & Joe!

They helped us plan our wedding timeline down to every last detail 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 :)

ncouraging over the phone and in person. We had a blast at our engagement 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!

ant you to have a great experience and are very genuine, fun people. They met and exceeded expectations, which in our case was tough since I am very detail oriented, and picky. Overall great experience!

in a memory forever. We really wanted to make sure our photographers 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!
