With more than two decades behind the camera and at least 600 weddings under her belt, Karen Wise is a true expert in both digital and film photography. Each event she captures is infused with her unique blend of elegance and emotional depth, creating memories that stand out from the crowd.
Horacio has been Karen Wise Photography’s Associate Photographer for the past six years and has become a natural extension of Karen’s artistic vision. When Karen isn’t available, clients can feel confident knowing Horacio will photograph their wedding, mitzvah, or surprise proposal with the same care, creativity, and attention to detail.
With a background in street photography and fashion portraiture, Horacio brings a thoughtful, photojournalistic approach that beautifully complements Karen’s style. His warm personality, intuitive eye, and calm, unobtrusive presence allow him to capture authentic moments while putting our clients at ease.
Karen trusts Horacio completely and relies on him for many of the studio’s most important events. His talent, professionalism, and positive energy make him an invaluable member of the Karen Wise Photography team!
Amanda is the creative force behind Karen Wise Photography’s social media, bringing our projects to life through engaging posts, stories, reels, and newsletters. She has a wonderful eye for selecting the perfect images to capture the emotion behind every wedding, engagement, and family session.
Amanda especially loves sharing stories about love, heartfelt proposals, and the beautiful couples and families Karen photographs throughout New York City and the Berkshires – in their homes, at prestigious wedding venues, in the city’s parks, and in stunning garden settings.
Like Karen, Amanda is the proud mom of a bright, active 10-year-old, and they share a passion for balancing fulfilling careers with quality time spent with family. A former D1 track athlete and licensed Athletic Trainer of 14 years with a background in HR, Amanda loves channeling her energy into helping businesses stay organized and thrive. Her creativity, versatile skills, and enthusiasm make her an invaluable part of the KWP team.
