About Essence Photography

Essence Photography is all about capturing the heart of your most cherished moments with passion, creativity, and a personal touch.

A little bit about me ...

Hi, I'm Karen, the heart and soul behind Essence Photography.
Proud mum to Tori and Lexie, and wife to Ryan—who my mum affectionately calls "poor Ryan" (lol!). Ryan joined our family a few years ago, bringing along his two wonderful daughters, Emily and Jessica, making us the epitome of a modern family.

​

When I say I adore my job, I’m not exaggerating. While the behind-the-scenes work like editing can be long and detailed, the wedding day itself is pure joy for me. I feel incredibly fortunate to be part of such a special time in people’s lives—every workday is someone’s best day, and I love that every experience is unique, bringing new amazing families into my life.

​

I’ve been honoured to receive the Country Down Wedding Photographer of the Year award at the Northern Ireland Wedding Awards in 2018 and 2022, with a runner-up spot in 2023 and a finalist position again in the 2024 awards.

Take a look through my portfolio, and if you feel we’d be a good fit, don’t hesitate to get in touch with any questions.

​

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Karen
