Based in San Diego, California, I’m a wedding and couples photographer serving all of Southern California — including Los Angeles, Orange County, Temecula, and beyond — and I’m always honored to travel for destination weddings wherever your love story leads. I’m drawn to the quiet poetry of romance, documenting your day as it naturally unfolds while creating soft, intentional portraits that feel gentle, emotional, and reminiscent of a fairytale.
I’m inspired by connection, culture, and faith, and by the deep devotion that quietly shapes a life together. My heart is to preserve the warmth, emotion, and meaning in each moment so you can remember how it all felt — tender, timeless, and true to you.
and Preserving love.
Celebrating Covenant
Romantic imagery inspired by faith, culture, and connection.
I’m Karinna, a 25-year-old San Diego–based wedding photographer and the eldest of three girls. I’ve loved photography for as long as I can remember, always pulling my friends into little photo shoots growing up just for fun. Over time, that joy turned into a calling. I truly love making people feel beautiful, comfortable, and seen, and being trusted to capture such meaningful moments is something I never take lightly.
I know how important a wedding day is, and I aim to be a calm, steady presence throughout it. I’m not loud or overbearing — I guide gently with a smile and step in with intention when needed. I believe God gave me a deep sense of empathy, allowing me to feel the emotion in a moment and preserve it honestly. My heart is to capture not just how your day looked, but how it felt.
About Me,
Karinna Jean
"Karinna has such a gentle and kind way about her. I was nervous about being in front of the camera, but she guided us so naturally and made everything feel effortless. She noticed the little details, the quiet moments, and the love between us in a way that felt so genuine. Our photos look like something out of a fairytale while still feeling completely like us."

How would you describe your
photography style?
My style is soft, romantic, and true to life. I focus on capturing genuine emotion as it naturally unfolds while also guiding you into gentle, flattering poses when needed. The result is a balance of candid moments and timeless portraits that feel warm, meaningful, and authentic to your story.
Do you help with posing?
Yes, absolutely. Most couples tell me they feel a little nervous in front of the camera at first, and that’s completely normal. I guide you in a very natural way so nothing feels forced or uncomfortable. I focus on creating movement, connection, and moments that feel like you, rather than stiff poses.
What payments do you accept?
Do you offer payment plans?
You can pay using credit/debit card or ACH transfer directly through my online booking system and contract. A 50% deposit is required to officially reserve your date, with the remaining balance due later. For weddings, I do offer flexible payment plans after the initial 50% retainer — feel free to inquire, and we can find something that works best for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
From the moment you inquire, I want you to feel supported, heard, and at ease. I take time to learn what matters most to you...your vision, your inspiration, your story, and the moments you’re most excited for. I’m always open to your ideas and love when couples share their Pinterest boards, cultural traditions, and personal touches so I can document your day in a way that feels true to you.
As your wedding day approaches, I’m there to guide you with gentle direction, thoughtful planning, and a calm presence you can rely on. My goal is to create space for real moments to unfold while making sure you feel comfortable, confident, and fully present. By the time your day arrives, it won’t feel like you hired a stranger. It will feel like someone who understands your heart is there to preserve it.
