About

hello loves!

I’m an INFP & Enneagram Type 6

& I truly live for those quiet little moments in life. The ones that normal folks don’t really ever notice.

I am a true observer & I think that reflects in my photography a great deal. I love that with my job I can create beautiful art from important memories & moments in your life.

I do my best to steer clear of super posed photos & let my couples naturally be themselves together - but let’s be honest... we all need a little direction to get there right?

Part of making others feel comfortable with me behind the lens is letting them know I’ve got their backs, fronts - and every good side in mind.

Best. Wedding. Photographer.

Sealed with a Kiss Photography (SWAK) was perfect. From the first time we met Carrie to discuss our vision, she not only got it, but came to the table with so many great suggestions - grounded in her years of experience.

The day of the wedding, she was everywhere we wanted, and managed to capture the emotion of day perfectly. The composition and tone of our wedding photos made them look like they were pulled from a magazine, and we are quite frankly obsessed with the images she snapped.

Couple that with Carrie's professionalism, great communication, and reasonable rates, and you have a winning formula. Can't recommend SWAK Photography enough. 11 out of 10.

The absolute best

Carrie is without a doubt the greatest. She is fun, energetic and a joy to have around. She captures your love, happiness and real relationship while making you look really good. I don’t have words to describe how much I love my album or how grateful I am for Carrie.

Best wedding photographer!

From the moment Carrie & I met, I knew it was meant to be. Carrie’s romantic & timeless aesthetic is what initially drew me to her work. Not only are we both Enneagram Type 6 & cat moms, we shared the same vision for what a wedding day should be. Love, family, faith, & fun. Throughout our wedding, Carrie was an integral part of the day. She was on time, facilitated family photos like a champ, & made sure to check-in with me to see how I was feeling. The rare time my new husband & I were alone, we took photos with just Carrie. This is one of my most cherished memories. Carrie made us feel beautiful, comfortable, & relaxed. During the reception, Carrie even helped prepare glow sticks for the dance floor - while this seems a minimal detail, it shows that she goes above & beyond the duties of a photographer.

This is just the start of Carrie capturing precious moments my husband & I build together in this new chapter. If you are looking for a photographer, there should be no doubt in your mind to book Carrie!

Highly Recommend Carrie!

Carrie with SWAK photography was beyond amazing for our two wedding events. She was professional, helpful, and kind throughout our entire journey together. We did our engagement photos with her and fell in love with her style and awesome photography skills from the start. I would highly recommend choosing her services for your event! We will definitely be booking with her again for other events in our lives!

Captured our love beautifully!

When I stumbled upon Carrie's instagram several years ago, I knew she was the one to photograph our engagement and wedding photos! She exceeded all my expectations and captured our love in the most beautiful way. I loved Carrie's creativity, light and natural photos. Not to mention she is just as amazing as her photos are! Due to the pandemic, we obviously had to make several changes and Carrie was a breeze to work with. So supportive, caring and willing to do whatever she could do make our day special. I could not recommend her enough.

It was a dream come true to have Carrie shoot our wedding day.

Carrie has been with us from the start. The day we met on a photo shoot, Carrie was there behind the camera to capture it.
As the years went by, she photographed us numerous times -- once even shooting us in a beautifully styled wedding photo shoot (our families almost had heart attacks when we punked them by sending the photographs with no explanation!). Carrie told us "you know I'm going to be shooting you whenever you end up getting married for real!"
Our stunning engagement session with Carrie was only a foretaste of how incredibly she would handle our wedding day. She's always made us feel natural and comfortable in front of the camera, allowing us to be in the moment, whether celebrating our engagement or our wedding.
The day of the wedding was lovely. Carrie was there to capture quiet moments with both of us while we prepared for the ceremony. She wrangled our extended families like a champ and photographed us all wonderfully. Throughout the ceremony and the reception she was always just where you hoped she'd be to catch those fleeting, intimate moments.
We couldn't be more grateful to an amazing friend and an incredible photographer for making our day one we'll always remember.

Carrie is awesome!

Carrie was so wonderful and easy to work with throughout the entire process - from booking her, to engagement photos, wedding day, and afterward. Not only was she amazing to work with, I could not be happier with the way my photos turned out - light, beautiful, creative, intimate. She didn't miss a beat at our wedding, and we are so grateful to have such beautiful documentation of our wedding day.

An angel sent from the heavens.

Carrie Smith is a literal angel sent from the heavens to bestow her gift upon us lowly earthlings. She is an incredible photographer with the most beautiful soul you've ever encountered. You almost feel unworthy until you jump in front of her camera. She sees everyone/thing through a lens of pure beauty and makes you feel as such in every moment she captures. If I had to go back and redo my entire wedding, I would book swak 100x's over. Best money I spent, by far. And now I have a life long friend.
