HONORED TO CAPTURE TIMELESS LOVE STORIES SINCE 2005

With over 20 years of experience, Karen Lippowiths has become a trusted name in wedding photography—capturing more than 100 weddings, serving over 1,000 happy clients, and delivering over a million finished images. But beyond the numbers is a deeper purpose: a lifelong passion for storytelling through romantic, timeless photography.

Known for her creative vision, intuitive eye, and deep understanding of people, Karen is dedicated to capturing the genuine emotion, subtle details, and unique story of every couple. Her style blends classic elegance with heartfelt authenticity, creating images that are both timeless and deeply personal.
Based in Southeast Michigan, Karen's work has taken her far and wide. She’s lived and worked in iconic cities like Paris, New York, and Chicago, and continues to travel the world photographing clients and weddings of all kinds—from intimate destination elopements to grand, luxurious celebrations.

Whether close to home or across the globe, Karen brings warmth, professionalism, and a deep commitment to every wedding she photographs. She believes that every love story deserves to be told beautifully—and preserved with heart, artistry, and intention.

Having photographed more than 100 timeless weddings and enjoyed 20 years of marriage, I’ve seamlessly blend two essential skills: intuitively capturing emotion as it unfolds while and gently guiding couples with natural, authenticity direction to create classic, romantic photographics.
