about Karina

Born in the vibrant heart of Brazil and now living under the golden skies of California, Karina Santos is a wedding photographer guided by heart, heritage, and a love for meaningful connection.

What began with a family camera at childhood celebrations has become a calling to capture love stories around the world—with honesty, elegance, and deep emotion.

Rooted in her own dream of love, Karina’s approach is personal, warm, and intentional. Clients quickly become friends, and each celebration is met with the kind of care only someone who truly understands the weight of these moments can offer.

She believes photography is not just about the images—it’s about the experience of being seen, known, and celebrated.
