Ventura Wedding Photographer

Thursday, February 8th, 2018

I am so excited to share this wedding. I love experiencing the enthusiasm for a wedding with couple. This bride’s energy and enthusiasm for her wedding was so exciting to be a part of! She also appealed to my Type-A planner personality. She was organized, had a classic, romantic vision for her day; and her coordinator, Elizabeth was brilliant in helping her execute this!

Orcutt Ranch Wedding ~ Liz and David

Tuesday, February 6th, 2018

Yea! Another Orcutt Ranch Wedding. And, because every wedding is truly one of kind; we explored other parts of this amazing property for their wedding photos. When you spend time with Liz and David, you feel like you’ve known them forever. Liz and David had this amazing vision for their wedding day. During our planning conversations what they were describing to me sounded absolutely gorgeous; but when I saw it in person I was truly blown away with how stunning it was. Every detail selected perfectly complimented their venue. Liz, David, and their incredible group of friends and family helped their day come together so well it was really difficult to narrow down some of my favorites to share.

Malibu Wines Event Photography ~ Penny Lane Centers

Wednesday, May 8th, 2013

I’ve been fortunate enough to have the opportunity to volunteer with Penny Lane Centers, a center providing a multitude of services for children, for the last year or so and every single one of their fundraisers seems to top the previous one. The Penny Lane Center has an incredible team that spends months putting together fundraisers and it shows. This year, the “Cheers for Charity” event at Malibu Family Wines was a little different-there was no set program; just a lovely afternoon of wine tasting at Malibu Wines, and silent auctions (with some amazing prizes). For more information about the services that Penny Lane Provides, or, how you can help, please see their site here.

Northridge Wedding Photographer ~ New Packages

Tuesday, June 19th, 2012

Wow, where do I start? There’s been a lot going on around here these past few weeks: sessions, weddings, more weddings, events, my little pumpkin taking his first steps, more weddings…

With everything that’s been happening, I wanted to take a small step back and sort of reevaluate Karen Leah Photography: our philosophy, our clients, our reviews (amazing—thank you!), our service, and our pricing. Even before my own wedding, I always strived to make my packages as affordable as possible and tried to be flexible about pricing whenever feasible.

No matter where their wedding was, or at what time of year, if I had a client who was straightforward about their budget (or lack thereof) and asked if I could be flexible with them on my fee, I really went out of my way to try to do SOMETHING to help them when possible, because I feel that everyone deserves great photography. Now, were there people who took advantage of this over the years? Sadly, yes. But this was rare, and offering modified or discounted packages enabled us to give people an experience that they may have otherwise not been able to afford.

Having planned my own wedding celebration recently, I completely understand when couples want their weddings to be as cost effective as possible and prioritize costs where they can.

With this in mind, I’ve made a few slight adjustments to the packages. I’ve chosen some amazing album and print companies who will enable me to continue offering packages starting under $2000.

We know how stressful wedding planning can be, and we’re happy to introduce our effortless pricing to all of our couples. No matter what day of the week or time of the year your event takes place, we want to make our pricing as easy as possible for everyone.

A package #3 for a Sunday wedding will cost the same as a package #3 for a Saturday night wedding. A December wedding package will cost the same as a July wedding package, and all of our clients (as always) will receive the same great service we pride ourselves on. All of our couples will continue to get the same high-quality albums, and the same excellent photos taken by people who treat your wedding like their own.

Yes, we will still occasionally offer incentives and custom packages; however, with our new pricing structure, we can assure you that our package prices really are our best possible rates. We feel it’s important to be fair and respectful to all of our fantastic couples (and potential couples); and we believe that our new, effortless pricing will enable us to continue doing just that.
