Phenomenal photos and an overall experience that was calming and enjoyable. We loved working with Carolyn for our engagement and wedding photos!

Carolyn is one of those people who is both professional and personable. She really listens to what her clients want and also guides them with her expert advice. We loved working with Carolyn because she has a calming personality that provides an anchor to the busyness of wedding preparations. Her photos are also timeless and intimate - we cannot wait to have them displayed in our home for decades to come! I would absolutely recommend Carolyn to any brides out there!

A photographer who would literally shed blood to make your wedding day great

My wife and I aren’t the biggest fans of having our picture taken, but Carolyn helped us to feel very comfortable during our engagement shoot. She gave us great direction in figuring out how to pose when we were clueless. We were confident going into our wedding day because those engagement photos are some of our favorite pictures of us to date.

As for the wedding day, Carolyn and her team worked together to create an incredible array of images that documented the joy, laughter and bliss of the celebration. Even with a venue change from ceremony to reception, they didn’t miss a thing.

And in the most stressful moment of the day, Carolyn didn’t miss a beat. The clasp of my wife’s wedding dress broke, and Carolyn actually drew blood helping my mother-in-law sew her into the dress. She remained positive and professional – we couldn’t have done it without her.

I would be remiss not to mention the turnaround time – Carolyn got back to us with the photos from the engagement session and wedding day at least a week before we expected them each time.

Carolyn is two things - an amazing human being and an amazing photographer. And that’s all you can ask for from a wedding photographer.

Exceeded our expectations

We hired Carolyn for our wedding and we are pleased beyond words with her work. My husband and I are both awkward and shy when it comes to taking photos and Carolyn made us feel comfortable and took initiative in giving us poses for our portraits. She always had a smile on her face and somehow managed to perfectly capture every special moment of our day. We received our whole gallery before the agreed upon deadline and we’re blown away by the results. We cannot wait to use her for our future family photos!

Genuinely Sweet

If you are looking for a photographer who will capture your heart as well as your wedding, this is the photographer for you. She and her assistant were lovely! They have thought to the lightening, our needs, and while there, we’re never obtrusive in either the ceremony or the reception!!

Absolutely Amazing Photographer!!!

Carolyn was by far the BEST decision I made!!! To start, she made our engagement photos so much fun! We met her that day for our engagement shoot and she made us feel like we’ve known her for years! On our wedding day, Carolyn was AMAZING!!! She was so patient, flexible, energetic, kind and outgoing! Our wedding party was 20 people, and Carolyn was so patient with all the craziness. She was very professional and directive, but also so much fun! She took time to take every picture we asked of her.
If you are looking for a photographer in Tallahassee, or surround areas, book Carolyn!!! You will not regret it!

Carolyn has a knack for catching beautiful memories!

We used Carolyn for our engagement photos and wedding photos and to say she has left me speechless is an understatement! She captured so many beautiful moments that we now will have forever. She was a dream to work with - easygoing, professional, and by the end she makes you feel as if you’ve been friends for years! Her organization for pictures day of the wedding made things go so smoothly. She was also extremely flexible and understanding as we had to reschedule our wedding three times due to COVID-19. I cannot recommend her enough! Thank you Carolyn for bringing our memories back to life! 🤍👏🏼

Phenomenal!

Hiring Carolyn as our wedding photographer was probably the best decision we made throughout our entire planning process. She captured the day PERFECTLY. Carolyn did both our engagement session and our day of photos and we cannot say enough good things about them! We LOVE our wedding photos. It was truly so hard to narrow it down to a few favorites to hang in our home. Not only is Carolyn crazy talented, she's the easiest person to work with. She's professional, affordable, kind, and makes you feel so comfortable as she captures the perfect moments. She went above and beyond on our wedding day and we are so, so fortunate to have worked with her!

Amazing Wedding Photographer

Carolyn did such an amazing job photographing our wedding! She took our engagement photos prior to our wedding and we knew then that we had made the right choice. She is so kind and easy going and she really makes you feel comfortable while being photographed. All of our wedding party commented on how great she was to work with. Her photographs are beautiful and they capture each moment perfectly. Can't wait to use her again for a future photography session!

The best!!

Our wedding was changed because of Covid- from a huge wedding of 200 guests to a hopeful backyard wedding some day in the future when the virus subsides. With all of the uncertainty, Carolyn still flew to DC to photograph us in our wedding attire in the town where we met so that we would still have summer wedding pictures!! She was SO kind, made us SO comfortable, and showed such genuine interest in taking photos in places where we had significant memories. This town where we met, lived and worked together held so many stories and her pictures captured it so perfectly I could cry. I truly cannot stop looking at them. We can’t wait to work with Carolyn again!

Highly recommended for professionalism, expertise, and creativity

Whatever your photography needs, take away all your stress and worries by hiring Carolyn! Pre-event, she is extremely communicative and professional. She offered ideas for photos, helped me brainstorm/problem solve, and even communicated with other vendors. Day-of event, Carolyn was so fun to work with and everyone loved her. She was really efficient and organized with all the family photos. During the couple photos, she went along with our vibe and the photos definitely captured "us". She was also more directive when we didn't quite know what to do, which was really helpful. She was also very inconspicuous with her photo taking . I didn't see her once during the ceremony, though when we received the photos, there were so many wonderful moment captured from all angles of the church. I couldn't believe she was able to get the photos she did! Post-event, Carolyn followed up in exactly the timeline she gave. The photo gallery is easily accessible, well-organized, easy to share, and the photos are amazing. I love the candids she captured, the quality of the photos, and how the photos reflect exactly the day. Looking through the gallery of photos made us feel like we were reliving the day! Personally, Carolyn is easy going, thoughtful, witty, and genuine. She's the very best!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
