Amazing wedding photography!

Carlee was great to work with. She had a very detailed information packet with an example timeline to reference. She always got back to us quickly and was very organized. On our wedding day she made us feel very comfortable and kept the timeline going and got our long list of family photos done quickly! She got our photos done quickly and we loved them!! Highly recommend milk and thistle, we were really happy!

Worth $1,000,000

The most incredible experience of my life! (Besides our Wedding). Carlee is the best wedding photographer I have ever seen. Every photo she sent us is a perfect photo. She was able to capture every moment... every real moment, which was very important to me. Every time I look at our photos it takes me back to the best day of our lives. She is worth every penny if not 10 times over. If you are still deciding who you want to capture your day.... stop right here; you found her!!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
