Dallas Wedding Photographer amy karp :: PHOTOGRAPHY bio picture

my { PASSION }

I grew up in Dallas watching my Grandmother paint wonderful portraits of families.  As a little girl I was fascinated with her work and I regularly snuck into her back room where she painted and I sat in amazement of her skill.  All the easels, brushes, and portraits lying about only added excitement and intrigue to what she did.  It was then that I knew I would follow in her foot steps and be an artist.  I wound up taking drawing and painting classes in college to advance my own skills.  Then, I took a photography course and it all changed.  Once I discovered you could paint with light, it was all over, I was going to be photographer!  The way that one can manipulate their art with the proper photographic techniques had me hooked from the beginning.  Photography had me at "hello". My dear and wonderful husband Jon encouraged and pushed to me to follow my passion for the lens.  As a result I get to do what I love every day!  It continues to be more and more rewarding and satisfying with every press of the shutter.  It only makes it more special that I get to enjoy my passion for wedding photography with all of you!

March 10, 2010 - 8:27 am Cara Cozart - I would love to go to this event! I am a bride getting married on April 23rd. I am living in Africa, flying in on March 20th, and have many last minute preparations to make. Photographer, Florist, Cake, food, etc. So I need to be able to meet vendors and people and make decisions all in one place! thanks for giving tickets away! Cara

March 10, 2010 - 10:39 am janey moore - I would love to go see Alice. I have enjoyed seeing all the teaser images on facebook and Twitter. I also want to enter the cover contest for Texas Wedding Guide? I love it!!!

March 10, 2010 - 10:42 am Sara Balew - Pick me!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to go! I am still in the early stages of planning my wedding and I need to pick everyone for my wedding! Help!!!!

March 18, 2010 - 2:36 pm Samantha Roberts - I would like to go to this event because I am getting married this July & am looking for cool & modern ideas for our wedding. My fiance & I are students at seminary & aren't able to afford much for our wedding, much less wedding shows. I think it would be a great & fun date for us to be able to think about the wedding in a non-stressful atmosphere.

March 19, 2010 - 7:32 am Kimber Merritt - I am looking forward to everything Alice in Weddingland has to offer! I am especially interested in the gown fashion show...I need some inspiration:) It also doesn't hurt that the event benefits Brides Against Breast Cancer.
