Carrie is the BEST

Carrie was professional from our first meeting, throughout the Wedding festivities, and preparing and presenting our Wedding pictures. Since we are older, we really liked her Wedding package concept where you could choose how you wanted to use the credit that you paid her for her services. We highly recommend Carrie as your Wedding photographer.

100/10 Recommend!!!

I met Carrie at a wedding expo and instantly fell in love with her work and personality. When we met again and ended up chatting for hours, we knew she was the one. From the very beginning, she made taking photos feel easy, natural, and completely stress-free. We told her we wanted timeless photos that truly showed us—images we could proudly display for a lifetime—and Carrie delivered exactly that. She photographed our engagement session and our wedding day, and both experiences were incredible. On the wedding day she was professional, organized, and kept everything flowing so smoothly. We stayed right on schedule without ever feeling rushed or stressed. The results were beyond amazing. She captured moments we didn’t even realize were happening and got the most genuine, in-the-moment laughter and joy. Looking through our photos brings us right back to the happiest day of our lives. We truly can’t recommend Carrie enough. She is our person, and if you’re looking for a photographer, look no further! 💛

Picture Perfect Experience

I can't say enough great things about the amazing Carrie Wildes. She was recommended to us by a friend and we are so thankful. Carrie was so professional with clear expectations and communication and so easy to work with. Even with some crazy changes and adjustments we had to make, she and Linda just rolled with it. They were everywhere and nowhere at the same time. We'd think, how did they capture that? I didn't even see them there. But they were, and they captured all the details of our beautiful memories. We enjoyed spending our day with them and they were so kind and fun to be with. It was more like family being there, but with cameras. Absolutely check out her site and give her a call.

Fun cocktail-inspired engagement shoot at Red Mesa

Carrie did a great job with our engagement photos! We had an idea to do a dressier cocktail bar inspired shoot and she listened and encouraged all our ideas and made us feel comfortable trying different poses and just having fun while she captured us. She moved us around to different spaces and the photos looked like we were in so many different locations without ever leaving Red Mesa. She’s friendly and very communicative before, during, and after the shoot. There were so many amazing photos from our session and she guided us through a process of picking our favorites to find the ones we really loved and then we got a wall print of one of many favorites!

Isla del Sol Wedding

We knew during the wedding planning process that finding a photographer that captures your day and matches your personality was important. We loved meeting Carrie and how fun, energetic and passionate she is. Her gallery was full of bright photos showing the happiness of those celebrating their perfect day. We knew Carrie was perfect!

This was validated when we did our engagement photos. We did the engagement photos as a special family location. It was a truly hot Florida day and even under the heat – we had a great time and loved how the photos came out.

During the rest of the wedding planning, Carrie helped making recommendations on timeline. Everything day of the wedding went perfect. Our family and friends all loved working with Carrie and Linda. Carrie knew all the great spots at Isla del Sol to get the perfect pictures. In addition to the photos, Carrie also captured behind the scenes and teaser pictures and videos for social media – our family and friends have all commented on how amazing these were to see right after the wedding!

Thank you Carrie and Linda for capturing our perfect day – these memories will last a lifetime!

Absolutely phenomenal

I could never run out of great things to say about Carrie! We were referred to her through our venue (Nova 535), and it became clear during our first phone call that she was the right choice for us. And she absolutely was! Carrie is incredibly talented, but even more than that, she is a joy to work with. She is so fun and kind, and clearly very experienced. She really just got us as a couple, and she both understood and beautifully captured our vision for our somewhat unconventional delayed wedding reception. She did a great job handling the large crowd and unusual family dynamics, and we got multiple comments from our family and guests on how wonderful she was. We had so much fun working with her and we could not be happier with how our photos have turned out.

Amazing Tampa Photographer

Carrie and her team are amazing photographers! As a mom of a bride, I really appreciated the professionalism and quick responses to emails and phone calls. Carrie helped my daughter and her fiancé feel relaxed not only during their engagement shoot but also during their wedding day. She read their “vibe” and created a photoshoot to match.

I loved that we could throw anything at her like creating “Save the Date and Thank You Cards” and “Printing Photos for our Gift Card Box”. Then, she immediately put it into action to make it happen. Now that is one stop shopping at its best.

A photographer has a very intimate role who spends the entire day with the Bride & Groom and their family. We were so happy to spend the day with Carrie and Linda.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Carrie Wildes and team is fantastic. We know if they are on a wedding that we never have to stress. They stick to a schedule, always communicate with every vendor as to not miss a shot. The photos are always beautiful and have an artistic element. We also love that they bring a TV to showcase photos that have previously been taken along with providing a photo card to each of the guests. Not only is the team extremely profession but they are just fun to be around and make sure the day is special. We love having Carrie Wildes Photography on our preferred vendor list.
