About

We believe that weddings are a social celebration of a very sacred commitment. We feel honored to be participants in every wedding we shoot and treat both the day and the people involved with the highest level of respect. Most of all, weddings are a day filled with beauty and magic that emerges effortlessly. We believe our job is to capture that magic in the most authentic way, unobtrusively, honestly, and joyfully.

We are always well versed in the latest wedding trends and bride preferences. Our approach is always in the best of taste. We strive for the perfect combination of timeless elegance and fresh style.

Our focus is on journalistic style photography. We limit the number of posed and staged photographs and instead try to highlight the laughter, tears and passion that you and your guests will be feeling without our heavy involvement. We understand that every couple is unique in their style, personality, and biography and strive to produce images that reflect that individuality.
We understand our clients need for exclusive, classic products and exceed their expectations. We represent the grace, distinction, and style that is possible in wedding photography.

Carolyn and her husband Patrick were the wedding photographers at my daughters New Years Eve wedding.
The photographs that were taken were beautiful. You could not ask for more from them. They were
accessible to us with any questions we had both before and after the wedding. Everything we asked of
them was accomplished. I would not hesitate to refer them to anyone.

I hired a photographer and had engagement pictures done, and 5 months later still hadn't received them nor seen any of them. So I decided to look for a new photographer a month before my wedding. I called Carolyn and she set up an appointment with me the next day. She was extremely professional and excited about my wedding. We scheduled engagement pictures for a few days later. The day of the engagement shoot we had so much fun that we ended up spending over 4 hours doing pictures! And she had my pictures to me less than a week later! I absolutely love ALL of the engagement pictures, Carolyn has such an artistic eye and gave us some amazing portraits.
Then came time for our wedding. Again Carolyn did an incredible job! She came on time, had all of her equipment ready to go and was so much fun to work with. We had a blast doing all of our pictures, Carolyn even made it a point to stay later than contracted at no charge because she wanted a specific sunset shot. The day of my wedding was extremely hot and I was so worried about looking sweaty and frazzled in my pictures, but when I got them I was amazed! Carolyn is a magic worker because I looked flawless in our photos! I absolutely love my wedding pictures. She did a great job of capturing the whole day, all the small details and emotional candid shots. A male coworker of mine saw some of the pictures on Facebook and said to me "wow, your photographer did a great job! When I saw your pictures I felt like I was instantly transported right back to that day!" I had people that I haven't talked to in a decade writing me on Facebook telling me how amazing my pictures were,and when I showed them to my mom she cried. There is no doubt that Carolyn is a master at what she does, but even more than that she is an amazing person. She is the most caring wedding vendor I worked with and I am so glad that I was lucky enough to have her for my big day! Thank you Carolyn!

Carolyn and Patrick made us feel like part of their family from the start, and their energy and enthusiasm for capturing our wedding made it all that much more fun to celebrate! They put so much focus and creativity into the importance of this time in our lives, and we could not be more thrilled with our choice. Affordability, quality, passion, and care--that's what they bring every time.
