Amazing, Professional Husband and Wife Photography Team

We booked Visual Arts Wedding Photography 9 months in advance and during the time between then, the day of the wedding, and even after, Carsten checked up on us regularly. My husband and I truly appreciate his communication skills. Carsten made sure we were on the same page and the photos that we received were to our liking. On the wedding day, Carsten and Leigh truly displayed their photography skills and did not let moments go unnoticed. Leigh was very sweet, approachable and made me feel comfortable while she took pictures in the bridal suite. We are so grateful for the ways they shared their perspective of our wedding with raw emotion and beauty. The photos they took are ineffable and we are able to relive that moment through their incredible photos.

Dynamic Duo!

In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, I’ve been looking back at our wedding photos and realized I never left a review 🤦🏻‍♀️ — and honestly, I can’t thank these two enough! From our engagement shoot to the big day, they were amazing. We were both pretty awkward in front of the camera, but they helped us relax and have fun, which made all the difference. 10/10 would recommend an engagement shoot to help somewhat get used to it before the big day. 🤣

When we met Leigh (in-person) on our wedding day, we could tell they were such a great team. They worked so well together, and it showed in the photos. We seriously couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out — we’re obsessed with our pictures!

I was a little nervous about booking a photographer from out of state, but they made the whole process so easy and stress-free. If you’re looking for a photographer who’s professional, fun, and knows how to make you feel comfortable, Carsten and Leigh are it! Thank you both for capturing our day so perfectly!

One of the best decisions!

One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was hiring Visual Arts Wedding Photography to capture our wedding day!! They captured the day so beautifully. We are in absolute awe!

From the very first consultation, their professionalism and passion for photography was evident. They took the time to understand our vision and they could not have executed more perfectly.

On the wedding day, our photographers were incredibly professional and kind. They managed to capture all the beautiful moments, from candid shots of our guests enjoying the celebration to stunning portraits of the bridal party. Their attention to detail was remarkable, and they had a keen eye for finding the perfect lighting and angles, which made our photos truly breathtaking. The final gallery absolutely exceeded our expectations! The images are vibrant, filled with emotion, and beautifully edited.

Overall, if you're looking for talented and dedicated wedding photographers, choose Visual Arts Photography. Their creativity, professionalism, and ability to capture genuine moments make them a fantastic choice for any couple looking to preserve their wedding memories.

Thank you, Carsten & Leigh, for your amazing work!

Beyond the incredible pictures, Carsten and Leigh were a calming presence and an immense help throughout the entire day.

I can't thank these two enough for making our wedding experience so special. If I had to choose again, I'd pick them a thousand times over, and I'll forever be singing their praises!

Exceeded all our wedding photography expectations!!

Let me start by saying that choosing our wedding photographer was not a decision that I took lightly. It was the one thing that I was not willing to settle on. The absolute BEST decision that we made during our entire wedding planning was choosing Carsten and Leigh with Visual Arts Photography!! From the first conversation with Carsten, I knew that they were the perfect fit for us. They were so much more than just our photographers. They have a passion for weddings and helped us throughout the entire planning process. Carsten gave recommendations for any vendors that I needed and was there for us every step of the way! They truly took the time to get to know us and create a relationship with us that made the wedding day SO much fun! We felt like they were both just part of the family on our wedding day! They were right there with us capturing every moment until the time we left the venue. After the wedding, they were quick to get our pictures to us and they are STUNNING!! The pictures are absolutely GORGEOUS and I haven’t stopped looking at them since we got them! Carsten and Leigh exceeded every expectation I had for a wedding photographer! We could not be happier in our decision and we are BEYOND thankful to them both that we forever have these beautiful pictures of our wedding to look back on and remember our special day. If you are looking for a photographer, you won't find anyone better than Carsten and Leigh. They truly captured our love story and everything that was special to us on our wedding day!

Very professional. Highly Recommend!

We can't say enough wonderful things about working with Carsten and Leigh! From the start when we were searching around for photographers, they were the standout. It really was never a question once we began communicating. They always got right back to us, and it was a pleasure working with them throughout the whole process.
One of my favorite things they did was the timeline that they provided for us. A schedule for the wedding day from our First Look pictures, to family photos, to ceremony and reception. It was so professional, and it allowed us to relax and enjoy our special day because we knew that they had it all under control. Pictures were a very important part for me, and I am so happy that we chose Visual Arts Wedding photography to be our photographers. You won't ever regret trusting them with a very important part of your special day!!
