Last fall, I had the opportunity to photograph Tom and Bethany’s wedding at Morais Vineyards in Warrenton, Virginia. Driving onto the property, it’s easy to wonder whether you’ve arrived in Virginia or somewhere in the European countryside. With its Portuguese-inspired architecture, the vineyard has an old-world character that made a beautiful setting for their November […]
The gardens at Whitehall Mansion are one of the loveliest wedding venues in Louisville and I’m so honored to have captured Jared & Caroline’s wedding day there last June. Happy anniversary, you two! From the moment I talked with Caroline, her personality shined right through the phone. She is so kind, vibrant, and makes you […]

This post is all about Tanner & Celeste and their incredible colorful Churchill Downs wedding day. I see so much of myself and my husband Matt […]

This session may win all of the sessions I’ve ever had for most fun. I’ve known Rachel for over 10 years, what?!? Crazy. We met very early on at Virginia Tech in the Marching Virginians. Go Hokies!! She’s one of my people and I love her dearly. When she told me about Truman and that […]

Since having kids, it’s been harder for Matt and I to get away for anniversary trips. We really wanted to do something special for our 10 year anniversary, so with the help of Matt’s parents taking care of the girls, we were able to travel to New England! It was so hard narrowing down exactly […]

Kentucky Horse Farm Wedding The weather is mentioned so much on my blog, but it plays a huge factor in weddings and sessions! But in all my years, I’ve never had weather like this. On September 21 I had my kids outside in bathing suits playing in a sprinkler. The next day, fall equinox, we […]

Anyone in Kentucky knows the weather this summer has been crazy, so when I met Kyle & Christian at their local horse farm for their engagements, I didn’t totally know what to expect. Rain, ridiculously hot temperatures, it’s always a mixed bag. But not this day! It was literally perfect. Not too hot and full […]

Jake & Emma: Fall Olmsted Louisville KY Wedding After having kids, so much of my business changed and blogging was an unfortunate casualty. I’m now finally getting back into it and I’m sharing some of my older weddings. These days were just as beautiful as others. My sweet, adorable *cough cough* needy children though have […]

Background A classic, blush spring wedding? Yes, please! To add to the excitement, this wedding was for a dear friend. When Matt and I first moved to Louisville, Mark was one of the first people we met. He was interested in joining the same church, was a seminarian, and had a background in engineering. Needless […]

Neil & Kaylee: A Richwood on the River outdoor wedding Louisville KY None of us knew what 2020 would bring. For Neil & Kaylee, they got engaged and planned for a beautiful 2020 May wedding. Unfortunately, circumstances forced them to postpone to June, but oh my what the perfect day it was. A Richwood on the […]

Karyn Johnson Photography has officially entered the off season! It’s always a bitter-sweet time. I love my job and photographing weddings, but a break is always welcome! The off-season break is extra special these days with two little girls at home. Getting to spend the holidays with them and extended family is for sure one […]

From the moment Josh & Jessica booked last year, I fell in love with them as a couple. They are two of the kindest and sweetest people. Every time we chatted, I felt like I was talking with old friends. We talked kids, home renovations, food, family, all the things! I adored meeting their children […]

The Pointe Louisville KY Wedding As I was beginning this wedding day at The Pointe in Louisville KY, I noticed something. Kellsy left no detail untouched. She put her and Tommy’s stamp on each and every element of this beautiful, joyful, unique day. We joked with Tommy that he was great at wedding planning. But […]

Falls of the Ohio Engagement Session Weddings definitely steal a lot of the show in the photography world, but sometimes engagement sessions do too and that’s this one. First, Josh, Jessica, and their two kids drove 2 hours bright and early to meet me for a morning session. How amazing are they?! But it was […]

The maternity season is so fleeting even though in the moment, especially the last 6ish weeks, it feels like forever. I love getting to help friends remember this brief time when the anticipation of meeting your newest love is high and the discomfort may be even higher, haha. A woman’s body is remarkable and in […]
