My daughter’s wedding was on August 26th. Steffi did the wedding photos and they were phenomenal! Prior to the wedding, Steffi was extremely informative, very quick to respond to any questions! We were very happy that she immediately posted a sneak peek of a few photographs I don’t think she sleeps
Steffi is very efficient and knows what she is doing. We didn't realize how intense the wedding day could be until the big day. My daughter was a little behind on the schedule but Steffi was able to adjust the shooting plan and made sure we got all the pics we want with amazing quality! Her husband, Steve was the second photographer. He was super organized and professional. He did a great job and was able to capture things that would have been missed without a second photographer. Steffi definitely knows how to capture the best moments and angles!
We love the pictures she took and are looking forward to getting the Album!. Steffi and Steve were AMAZING!!!!!

You can't go wrong with choosing Cariad Photography. Steffi and Steve are very personable, professional, and reasonably priced. They captured every joyous moment of our wedding day. The pictures are breathtaking. I could not believe how beautiful they turned out.

I normally hate how I look in photos. I was so nervous, but Steffi and Steve made us feel completely comfortable. They made the process fun and made sure we got all the shots we wanted.

Steffi went above and beyond for our wedding. She even had to deal with a bipolar family member of ours during the reception that forgot his meds. For some reason this family member focused his aggressive energy on Steffi, but she handled him with grace. It was a tough situation that could have ruined our wedding. Instead, Steffi took control of the situation which allowed us to stay focused on the happiness of the night. I can't thank her enough for her professionalism.

Steffi is truly a wonderful photographer and a great person. I absolutely recommend Steffi and her whole team. You will not be disappointed.

From the moment we met Steffi at Chota Falls, we had decided she was our best choice for photographer. If the venue hadn't worked out, we still wanted Cariad Photography. Steffi is so personable and the albums she showed us hooked us immediately. Not only are their pictures amazing, but their album designs are wonderful as well! Her and her husband, Steve, worked with us the whole way and were so generous. We knew we had a very low budget, but they were able to get us the perfect package for our needs. The day-of, they were fabulous photographers and caught all the special moments that we hoped for. The ceremony video was wonderful and the album we bought was the best wedding album we could've hoped for. They did a great job of representing our wedding day through pictures, designs, and even quotes. I'm so thrilled to have chosen Cariad Photography and highly recommend them to anyone who wants great pictures, great designs, and great people to work with. Thank you Steffi and Steve!

On October 3rd, 2015 Jeff Sargent and I got married at the beyond beautiful Brasstown Resort in Young Harris, Ga. It was a destination wedding and we were referred by a coworker to Cariad Photography who was also getting married in that local area. My coworker could not stop raving about the pictures she saw online and when we looked for ourselves, we booked immediately. Steffi, was the most artistic and compassionate vendor during the MOST stressful planning period in our lives. She ensured we booked the best package that suited our needs without trying to gain a buck. Steffi and her husband arrived at our venue for our reheasal and stopped us in our tracks walking through the lobby. .. "You must be Jeff and the future Mrs. Sargent" and welcomed us with the sincerity and warmth of family. They attended our rehearsal to ensure they could gauge the ceremony proceedings at no additional cost. When they arrived on our wedding day, it was raining profusely... to ease my heart, they jokingly said "Hurricane effect... nice touch, we are going to make it look amazing"... and they did. The pictures are beyond PHENOMENAL and the relationship you gain with these photographers are priceless. I truly felt like I had my Mom at my wedding even though she had passed in 2012. Cariad Photography is artistic, direct and ensure you get what you paid for. Cariad sent a sweet gift right after the wedding which was a great surprise and the albums were truly a TIMELESS TREASURE. WE will never have another photographer in our lives and we look forward to many family photo sessions through her incredible company in the future. We were so incredibly blessed. Cariad Photography is barnone, the BEST in Georgia.

Steffi and Steve, we cannot thank you enough and look forward to a lifetime of memories together!! You are truly part of our family now!!

Sincerely,
Jeff and Janine Sargent

Cariad Photography did such an amazing job with our wedding. My husband and I met Steffi Smith at Chota Falls when we were planning our wedding. She instantly asked us if we would be willing to look through her portfolio and use her for our wedding. All of the photos were amazing and unique. We first did an engagement session with her at a beautiful lake. She made us feel so comfortable and I almost forgot she was even taking pictures of us. She and her husband Steve love to make it fun for their clients. They climbed through the river with us to take awesome photos for our engagement session.

Our wedding photos turned out beautiful. Steffi makes sure to get a good mix of candid pictures of the event and plenty of posed family pictures for albums. She and her husband Steve, truly make the entire day about the bride and groom and capture every moment of that. They even stayed later for my wedding just to get amazing pictures of our sparkler exit and fire pit. I can't say enough good things about Cariad Photography and I am so lucky to have had them photograph my wedding!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Cariad Photography. Stephie and Steve were so professional. My daughter's wedding was magical and Stephie and Steve captured every moment beautifully. The final album was spectacular. Stephie encouraged us to do first look and I am so glad we did. My daughter and her husband were able to enjoy their guests instead of spending time taking formal photos at the end of the wedding.

We had our wedding photographed by Steffi and Steve from Cariad Photography, and we couldn't be happier with that decision. From the moment we met Steffi and saw her work, we knew we wanted her to be our photographer! She did such an amazing job. She captured all my favorite moments and memories from the wedding, and was able to get moments that I didn't even know I wanted! Her pictures are amazing and we can't wait to see them printed off and hanging on the walls of our home!

I cannot say enough great things about Cariad!! From the moment my mom & I met Steffi, I knew I had found our photographer. She is so sweet & genuine. Laura was the one who shot our engagement session and wedding. Laura is incredible & to say that I have camera tension is an understatement! Laura made me & my husband feel so relaxed on both meetings.
Our engagement session (which Steffi graciously upgraded for us) turned out beautiful. I am never one to like, much less love any picture with or of me. I love these and I cannot wait to see the rest of our wedding pictures! I cannot tell you how many wonderful things we have heard about our engagement photos; I still look through them & know we will have beautiful wedding photos to look through for many years!
Steffi & Laura are both so easy to work with & strive to get all those shots you've been thinking about. They go out of their way to make you feel special & we have been overwhelmed by the kindness we have received from Cariad Photography. On my wedding day, it was important to me to have "getting ready shots" & even though it wasn't part of what I had selected, Steffi & Laura made sure they happened. It really helped make my day special. I am so grateful God led us to them as they have truly brought our wedding vision in photography to life!! They are both professionals & true master talents with a camera. Laura can capture any shot & Steffi's editing skills are amazing! If you are looking for beautiful, magazine quality shots, look no further than Cariad Photography! Your wedding pictures aren't something you can just go back & redo, therefore you want to feel more than confident about who you've entrusted to capture your special moments. With Cariad, we felt all this & more than we could've asked for. Thank you Cariad Photography!!
I not only feel like we have found wonderful photographers, we have found two amazing people to document our life together!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
