Photographer
Natalya Karpenko’s journey into photography began with a simple gift—a starter camera that sparked a passion strong enough to grow into a thriving business. Today, she is known for her documentary-style approach, capturing not just posed portraits but the real, emotional, unscripted moments that make every event unforgettable.
From intimate elopements to full-scale weddings, Natalya creates experiences that go beyond photography, guiding couples through timelines, scouting breathtaking locations, and ensuring that every detail is remembered. Whether at the oceanfront in Carmel, the cliffs of Bodega Bay, or dream destinations abroad like Lake Como, she brings out the natural magic of every setting.
As an ambassador for the Wedding Professionals Network, Natalya helps build connections between vendors, fostering a community of collaboration over competition. Her work is as much about relationships as it is about images—uplifting others while preserving their most cherished memories.
