Carlotta took our wedding photos this past weekend and took our engagement photos last fall. She was attentive to everything I requested for the wedding. She is professional and helped keep me calm throughout the wedding day. I cannot say enough about her photography skills.

I cannot say enough fantastic things about Carlotta! We did both an engagement session and wedding photography with her, and both went off without a hitch! She is organized, which meant that we got through our wedding photos with enough time to join our guests during the cocktail hour! She also made sure to capture every moment that was important to us, and communicated ahead of time so that she knew exactly what that was for us.

She also saved the day when my veil started to fall out of my hair right before I walked down the aisle!

Carlotta was nothing short of remarkable. She is a joy to work with and has an amazing personality. My husband is in film and has a super critical eye. Carlotta was one of 2 photographers that made the cut of 30+ I put in front of him. As soon as we spoke with Carlotta we knew she was the perfect person to capture our day!

We had so much fun at our engagement session and she made pictures on the wedding day a breeze. We had over 1000 images! They are all beautiful. I would hire her again and again and again.

Carlotta was a true pro from the beginning. When we met her, we were actually pretty much set on another photographer, but Carlotta blew us away with her organizational skills and her attention to detail. She asked really meaningful questions to get a sense of who we were as a couple and what our wedding was going to be like so that she could capture exactly what we wanted. She was always quick to respond to emails and so accommodating with every request we had. If you're at all camera shy like I am, you have nothing to worry about! Carlotta will tell you exactly what to do and will make you feel comfortable in front of the camera and crack jokes with you all day. I can't rave enough about how efficient she is either! We made it to our reception almost 30 minutes ahead of schedule because of how quickly she was able to do our family and bridal party formals - and they turned out beautifully because no one had photo fatigue by the end! As far as final photo delivery - we got over 600 edited photos less than a month after the wedding! Carlotta even used her discretion and took out some of the less-than-flattering/embarrassing photos (ya know, the ones you don't necessarily want your extended family seeing) and sent them to me directly so we still have them. If you're thinking of using Carlotta for your wedding - you won't regret it! She was worth every penny and we will be using her for other events in the future for sure! Thank you, Carlotta!!!

We loved Carlotta! Carlotta and her assistant Tyler photographed our wedding June 26th and not only are the sneak peek photos absolutely amazing, but they were such a joy to work with. They were funny, thoughtful, had an eye for detail and made sure we got all of the shots we wanted (even when I forgot a few on the shot list). Carlotta did a great job with our huge wedding party moving quickly, keeping them excited with fun shots and keeping things light. Carlotta stayed within the timeline for the day and added a sense of calm which was really great. She remembered small details about our lives outside of wedding planning (haha) and made sure that we were relaxed therefore getting some great shots. I cannot say enough about how great she was; we highly recommend her!

Love love love Carlotta. We just had our engagement photo session and my fiancé, who doesn't like to take many pictures, wouldn't stop talking how much fun he had! Carlotta gave us amazing direction and was just a pleasure to work with. We took our engagement pictures by an old railroad station and through a beautiful walking trail. She really made us feel so comfortable and our pictures are stunning! She gave us a mini sneak peak the next day! I can't wait to see the rest of them and looking forward to our wedding pictures!

Carlotta was amazing! Not only are our photos wonderful (I just got back my photos and my husband and I are thrilled), but she was a total task master (in a good way!), managing all the different people we wanted shots of, and even finishing early so we had time to get as many interesting shots in as possible. She was incredibly flexible in adjusting to all my requests for shots, even last minute when she needed to change the set up. I'm so glad we went with her--she captured our day so well!

We had a wedding in a castle on 7/12 this year. My husband and I feel so gratitude having Carlotta as our wedding photographer. She is amazing. The wedding day is quite stressful but she nails it with her awesome assistance running and making for the arrangement for the best shot. The work she provided is high quality and very efficient. Don't worry about she won't give you back (lots of wedding vendor takes forever to get you back), she is working very hard sometimes even the weekends. For personal reason I have to get the wedding album in one month after the wedding, its very rush to her lots of detail to discuss, but she made it with absolute stunning work. I don't see any difficult o work with her. She knows what she is doing and how to make you and your love seems brilliant.

Carlotta was incredibly organized and diligent about making sure we got all of the photos on our "must take" list the night of the wedding. My mom, dad and stepmother all commented about how professional and on top of things she was - more so than at any other wedding they've been to (and my mom is a professional event planner). What made me the happiest was that she totally captured the spirit of the wedding in the photos. There is so much joy and energy in each picture. Would wholeheartedly recommend her.

Carlotta, It was a pleasure to have had the opportunity to meet you at my client's wedding Saturday. I just viewed your proofs from Melissa's wedding and they are fabulous! Your pictures captured the moment, vivid colors and details of her special day. I am also thrilled to be able to add your photos to my makeup artist portfolio. It will be an honor to recommend your services to my future clients. I hope we have the opportunity to work together again. Chandler
