Eikon Photography aka Karen Sayre specializes in modern, fresh, and inspired images. It's non-posey, unexpected, and with an original twist. I creatively document weddings and capture life through modern portraiture in a documentary photo journalistic style, unobtrusively and non-invasively. My relaxed working style captures both formal and candid moments. This is documentary wedding photography as it happens which means capturing the funny, the artistic, the glamorous, the family memories, the details, and indeed any group and family pictures that you want. As a wedding is a one-time event, the photographer must be able to anticipate the action yet be prepared for the unexpected. Shooting a wedding is both exhausting and invigorating as I am always in search of original angles while still maintaining a ‘fly on the wall’ approach. Communication and planning time lines before the event will alleviate much of the stress associated with photographing a wedding. An ability to tactfully take charge also helps - particularly when photographing large groups or families. I've photographed clients of every religion, nationality, and sexual orientation and open-minded approach to photojournalism makes me approachable and honest.


For the geography buffs - my studio is located in Washington DC on Capitol Hill. The studio is just a few steps from Eastern Market Metro and convenient to 395 and 295. I photograph events in Maryland, Virgina as well as Pennsylvannia, New York, and beyond. I also travel world wide for destination events particularly in the Caribbean as well as all of Europe, especially Italy and England. Other destinations include Mexico and Hawaii. Karen Sayre is happy to travel to almost any location.
