Karin Oertel
Hi, I’m Karin. As a documentary-style photographer and videographer, I specialize in capturing honest, emotive moments with a minimalist and intuitive approach. My work centers on human connection, natural light, and genuine storytelling—preserving the quiet glances, joyful tears, and spontaneous laughter that make your wedding day truly unforgettable. Originally from Brazil, my journey has taken me from Chilliwack, BC, to the artistic heart of Florence, Italy, and now to the peaceful Vancouver Island. These rich cultural experiences have shaped the way I see and tell stories—thoughtfully, and with deep appreciation for authenticity. In addition to digital photography, I offer a unique process for developing black and white film photographs using flowers and foliage from your wedding bouquet. My goal is to document your day as it truly felt, so you can relive every meaningful moment for years to come.
