Daniel and Natalie
Cara has been absolutely fantastic throughout our entire process! Right from the very first email sent, Cara had already created an entire timeline for our event and knew all the best spots to take our photos. She was extremely professional throughout our wedding, and we loved her enthusiasm and engagement with all the family photos. She was very accommodating to our needs and the edits came through so quickly afterwards! Would have no hesitation in booking again and would recommend to anyone in the area.

Cannot recommend enough!
If you dread having your picture taken, Cara is your girl! She gives you enough instruction without making everything feel stiff and posed. It helps that her energy immediately makes you feel comfortable around her. We used her for our engagement and wedding photos and could not be happier with the results.

Top service and best photos!
We cannot recommend Cara enough. She is super communicative and helped with creating a timeline and family photo outline. Our photos were incredibly beautiful and take us back to such a wonderful day. We received our album rather quickly too which was a nice surprise email to see. We would rate her more than 5 stars if we could!

Professional and personable
We hired Cara for our "destination" wedding date Nov 1, 2024. After the devastating hurricanes in September we had to consider alternative options, keeping in mind traveling guests and accommodations. Our original location was hit hard and being out of state was an additional challenge. Cara was so understanding and supportive while we first changed the location, then ultimately changed the date, venue, and theme. She went above and beyond with suggestions while remaining flexible waiting on our final answer. She did not disappoint on the day of the event, it was more like having a friend there throughout the day. She was able to connect with everyone involved and captured personalities in some of the photos. I'm so happy we entrusted her to be a part of our special day. Nothing but praise from this daughter of a photographer.

Cara and the team at Cara DeHart Lewis Photography are the best!! I cannot recommend them enough!
From the start, Cara was organized, helpful and extremely professional. On wedding day, her and her team kept everything running smoothly and right on schedule. I didn’t have to worry about a thing! She had every detail planned out and completely taken care of. I felt so supported and stress free the whole day.
Our photos turned out absolutely stunning. Her quality is amazing, and she captured our day so beautifully and naturally. There are too many favorite pictures to count!
Choosing Cara and her team was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We are so grateful and will cherish the memories she captured forever!

Totally Exquisite!
Cara was wonderful! She felt like part of our family rather than only the Photographer! Everyone loved her zest and personality, making even the tiniest children laugh for the photos. Photos were beautiful and caught the very special moments of the day. Prices were reasonable and easily fit in our budget. We would highly recommend her and would use her again in a heartbeat if the need arose.

Cara’s Expertise Made Our Wedding Day Effortless and Beautiful
Cara was a dream to work with from the first conversation I had with her. She offered so many thoughtful and expert suggestions, and made me feel at ease. On the wedding day itself, she not only captured beautiful moments, but was always one step ahead, keeping us on our timeline and making sure to capture photos she knew we would love. We never felt like we were being pulled away from our guests or that photos were taking over the day. Instead, Cara blended effortlessly into our celebration, reading the room and knowing precisely when to take posed shots and when to let candid moments unfold.
Most importantly, the final photos were everything we dreamed of and more. I fell in love with Cara's style based on her portfolio, and the photos she took for us were exactly as I hoped they would be! Gorgeous, vibrant, and natural colors, nothing too bright or too dark, nothing that looks heavily edited--just beautiful captures of our whole day. We are beyond grateful to Cara for her professionalism, talent, and kindness, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly to anyone looking for a wedding photographer in the Tampa Bay area.

Western Wedding at Rustic Church
Cara was incredible every step of the way! Firstly, we were so impressed by how detail oriented and organized she was. She created a timeline of the wedding photography from start to finish, including what pictures she would take, who they would be of, and when she would take them to make the best use of her time with us. She also knew the venue, Andrews Memorial Chapel in Dunedin, very well. She knew the best places to take pictures and what options we had depending on how the weather would be. And the final products (our photos) turned out so stunning and beautiful! She captured our special day perfectly! We would and DO recommend Cara for your wedding photography needs!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
