    This team did both photography and cinematography for our wedding. They were very easy to work with and they always listened to what we wanted. For our trash the dress, my husband was giving off bad vibes because he naturally does not like to take pictures. They were able to make him feel more comfortable and help him to really let loose during the shoot! The trash the dress photos came back nice as I am sure that the movie and wedding photos will come out amazing as well.
    I would use this team again to capture of my future life events. No regrets with using Cardens photograhy!! Actually, one of my best decisions ever!

    Our wedding is next year (I had to lie about the date so I could post this) but we just did the engagement shoot with the photographers and we couldn't have been happier! They are without a doubt the best photographers to work with and they know exactly how to get a great shot! We have only seen five photos from the engagement shoot & we are already in love with them. I cannot wait to see the rest I know they will be equally as beautiful.

    Carden's were super flexible with pricing and packages. We told them our budget and they worked with us to get EXACTLY what we wanted. I was honestly shocked at how nice and how willing to work with us they were, most photographers have a set package that you cannot change. They also worked out an awesome payment plan with us which is very helpful for any bride, especially when you are starting to book wedding halls, DJs, and buy dresses that require a large down payment.

    I have already recommended the Carden's to one of my friends who is getting married next summer & she is getting ready to book them. I recommend the Carden's to anyone who is getting married! They take flawless photos that capture how happy the couples are. I looked at a lot of photographers & I felt like they took nice pictures but that I could take those exact same pictures with just a really nice camera. A lot of pictures were just the couples sitting and smiling at the camera like they were getting their yearbook picture taken. The Carden's are very different, they don't just have you sit and smile at the camera, they make sure the pictures are very natural & create pictures that look like they came from a magazine. Overall, I couldn't be happier with the way everything went! I am looking forward to my wedding day for even more fabulous pictures!

    Magical and Artistic

    Carden's Photography's Tim was fantastic; he found the perfect locations at our venue to shoot, he made every shot possible, and we have memories to cherish forever now all thanks to his artistic eye. 100% book with this photographer, you won't be sorry.

    A True Artist

    When we considered our wedding day, I knew the output of the photos were important, but until it happened, I didn't realize how important it was to have someone as professional, fun, and flexible as Tim. We first met Tim at our engagement shoot and we immediately knew we picked the right vendor. He drove to Center City Philadelphia for us, was on time, and was super friendly. He walked around the area with us to find the perfect spot - and had such an eye for charming backgrounds. We were floored when we got the photos back! Our wedding day was super windy, and again, we didn't have much direction on where we wanted the photos. Tim found great, urban spots, and directed us the whole way. During our reception and ceremony, it was like he and his assistant weren't even there, while they just blended right in as they captured the perfect shots. We even got our photos back way quicker than we thought we would! Tim was patient and thoughtful, and we couldn't recommend him more!

    Amazing to work with!

    Getting a videographer for my wedding on 11/9/19 was a complete surprise! My parents surprised me the night before the wedding with Cardens Videogrpaher to capture my big day!! That being said, I didn’t research anything about their work and I didn’t even know who they were but all I can say is that they were AMAZING to work with! She worked perfectly with my photographer and they planned everything together that day! I would highly suggest them to any bride I know getting married! I am so excited to see my sneak peak and full video!!!

    Professionals that are passionate

    Our wedding was last weekend at a vineyard and they gave us a photo preview that so far looks amazing. Virginia and Tim are complete professionals that mean business they are there to capture your day. The one picture I literally felt like I could touch and feel my hair on my neck- it’s insane how good they are. I know for a fact I will be able to relive that special day because of their expertise. They were really flexible and work with you. They were always available even when I emailed late at night. If you want natural photos to capture moments of your special day I highly recommended.

    Couldn’t be happier

    Virginia and Tim totally blew us away! They were responsive leading up to the big day, arrived on time, and took advantage of every second of the day. They captured the smallest of details that otherwise would have been forgotten, and candid moments that make the best pictures. We got all of our photos back in 2 weeks, and love every single one of them. They were flexible when we needed to keep them for 2 extra hours on the wedding day. We had a large reception (270 people) and they captured everything without us even knowing they were there. They did our video as well which we can’t wait to get back! We were very happy with our experience, beginning to end and highly recommend them.

    The BEST photo/video team!!!

    Choosing Carden's to capture the best day of our lives with both photography and videography was one of the best decisions we made throughout the entire process!

    Virginia, Tim, and Lee (videographer) were a pleasure to work with, they were centrally located and were willing to travel down to Philly for our engagement shoot at Longwood Gardens as well as up to Northeastern Pennsylvania for our actual wedding. Tim braved the crowds at Longwood on the first beautiful spring day of the season to give us incredible engagement pictures that make it seem like we were the only people in the gardens that whole day!

    They gave great advice on selecting a package that worked for the schedule of our day and they coordinated everything seamlessly. On the actual day of the wedding they were able to split up and capture every minute of the day, even with my husband and I getting ready at 2 separate locations and the ceremony being at a third site. Tim and Virginia shoot a huge variety of weddings - this was important to us because we wanted a photo/video team that knew how to capture beautiful moments at our ceremony but who were also able to capture all of the fun and excitement of our reception. They did an impeccable job!

    We received our photos just a few weeks after our wedding and they were beyond our wildest dreams. When they say they give you every photo they take, they really mean it! Then, just a few weeks later we received our coming soon video, followed quickly by our highlight video and we can't stop watching them! They were able to capture all of the emotions of that day, our favorite moments, and all of the details - watching the video literally allows us to relive our entire wedding day, we could not have asked for a better way to experience those memories.

    Many thanks to this incredible team! If you want a great group of people that cares passionately about their work and puts the time in to making your wedding memories more beautiful than you ever dreamed, work with Carden's!

    So glad we decided to hire Carden's Film

    When we started planning our wedding my husband and I decided we didn't need/want a videographer. As the planning process went on, more and more of our family/friends told us we'd regret it. Three months before our weeding, we decided to try and find a videographer and found Carden's Film! I am so glad we decided to get a videographer and that it was Carden's! They were so easy to work with and professional! On the day of the wedding, we barely noticed them. They even came up to use to say bye at the end and we had forgotten they were still there! We got a 5 minute highlight film and an edited 2 hour film of the day. The quality and attention to detail they used was AMAZING! I was blown away by the 2 hour video. You could tell they put so much time into it and the end result was perfect. It was important to me to have a highlight film that didn't just have background music (I wanted key pieces of speeches, our vows etc) and Carden's got that vision! The day after our wedding, we talked about how we just wanted to re-live our wedding and I am SO thankful we decided to spend the extra money on video so we could!

    Amazing experience overall

    An overall excellent experience working with Carden's. The day of the wedding everything went smoothly and efficiently. When we got our pictures (they were available in just over a week)! We were in awe. Everything was captured so beautifully and we couldnt believe how many pictures we got. All of the pictures were edited and amazing. We couldnt get over not only how quickly we got them back but how perfect they were. Thank you so much.

    This customer rated you highly for work quality, professionalism, responsiveness, value, and punctuality.

    Words can’t express how thrilled we were with the wedding footage that Virginia and Tim put together of our wedding day. Family and friends couldn’t say enough about the highlights video. It captured every special moment and brought tears to our eyes. We highly recommend Carden’s Film to any couple getting married. They were professional and gave us the opportunity to relive our memories of our wedding day over and over again.

    The most important element for my husband and I was hiring the right company to capture our day. We viewed this as an investment, our physical takeaway that we would have to look back on for the rest of our lives.

    After viewing Carden’s Film and Photography’s work, I knew we found the perfect company. Tim and Virginia are extremely talented and passionate and it resonates through their work.

    On the day of our wedding it was raining, I was petrified we wouldn’t be able to get a lot of photos outside or take advantage of the beautiful venue. However, Carden’s didn't let the weather stop them. The pictures came out so beautiful and timeless. At times we had no idea they were taking pictures and videos. We felt incredibly comfortable and at ease. Just watching the quick highlight video brought me to tears. We couldn’t have asked for a better company to capture our day.

    If you want to feel relaxed and not worry on your wedding day or any event, we highly recommend hiring Carden’s Film & Photography! Tim & Virginia we’ll definitely see you both for our future events.

    Virginia and Tim did both our engagement/wedding pictures and I was in love with them all! They came up with some locations when I wasn't sure where to go, which was so helpful. The scenery in my wedding pictures with all the natural lightening was breathtaking. Thank you Cardens!

    irginia and Tim did the photography and videography for our wedding at the Knowlton Mansion. They were easy to work with. They also did our engagement photos which came out great. I had made a pinterest board for ideas, but I likes our images more than the ones I actually saved there. From start to finish everything went great with the planning, picking a package etc. We are super happy with our final products for both our photos and video.

    Virginia and Tim were wonderful photographers to work with. They were very responsive and great at helping us to decide where to take pictures. We will treasure the pictures we have from our engagement session and our wedding forever, they are beautiful. Also they are not generic wedding photos, Virginia and Tim really know what they are doing and work to make sure the pictures are special. I strongly recommend using them for your wedding!

    I wanted an amazing wedding film and that is exactly what I got! I couldnt believe how perfectly edited our highlight film was. It was like a movie and it really showcased everything I didnt even notice on our wedding day. I totally couldnt even recall saying my vows until i saw the video. it brought me to tears! Feedback from family and friends was the same, they cried, laughed an overall loved seeing our whole wedding day put together in just a few minutes. Do not hesitate to get a videographer. The Carden's are the best in the area no doubt.

    As we began planning our wedding, we knew capturing our day in photos and video was one of the most important things to us. So we wanted the best! We found the best with Carden’s. We hired Carden’s for our engagement photos and wedding. We also hired our wedding videographers through them. We couldn’t have made a better decision! Tim and Virginia drove down to State College to take our engagement photos and we knew right away that they were awesome! They are so professional and yet super down to earth. They are much more than just photographers. They are artists that know what angles, lighting, backgrounds, and poses will make for amazing shots. They don’t just take pretty portraits, they capture emotions on camera in a way that makes you really relive that moment. After hiring them, there is almost no planning you have to do with them. Just let them do their thing! They know exactly what they are doing. No need to put together a shot list, they know what is important to get on film. At our wedding, we honestly didn’t even notice they were there half the time, but they found a way to sneak around and get the most amazing candid shots! Our videographers were just as amazing! They had us do a few poses and actions and turned it into a masterpiece. We were so surprised on our wedding day when they whipped out a drone to fly over the valley to capture breathtaking footage. How cool is that!? With our videography package came a 4 minute highlight film, which absolutely blew us away. They used the most perfect moments and parts of the speeches that hit every emotion possible. We have received an endless amount of compliments on the video and photos we have so far. We can’t wait to get the rest! We can’t be more thankful for all the great memories they captured on photo/video. What they do is priceless and will be treasured for many years to come! We will definitely be in touch for photos when we begin to grow our family!

    Tim and Virginia were awesome. After the engagement session I was even more excited about my upcoming wedding. The engagement pictures were up online within a day and then my flash drive (which was beautiful) arrived in the mail shortly after. They always answer emails quickly and are super helpful for a first time bride planning my whole wedding. The wedding day I was even happier with choosing them. They were laid back and really blending in. I have seen some photographers who are really all over the place like close to the alter, using flash all day barking out orders etc. These guys did none of those things. They were quietly capturing every detail and moment that was important to us. Our pictures were back in around 3 weeks and I was thrilled in reliving my wedding day with such beautiful pictures. Thank you again Tim and Virginia!!

    Virginia and Tim are absolutely amazing. They are so professional and also give great directions and guidance. I love their candid shots that truly captured the moments of my wedding day. I also recieved plenty of comments on how discrete they were throughout the day taking pictures. I would highly recommend them.

    Tim and Virginia are the most amazing photography duo we could have asked for on our wedding day. From the moment I found them online I fell in love with how they captured weddings. After talking with them about their packages I felt very confident booking them, very reasonable pricing especially because they work as a team capturing every moment. On the wedding day Virginia and Tim worked like a well oiled machine. One moment I especially loved was when they got a few pictures of us looking out of a barn window, Virginia stood outside getting pictures of us looking out while Tim got pictures of us from inside the barn. They gave GREAT direction and made everyone involved very comfortable. I will absolutely be recommending them to anyone I know getting married and can not compliment them enough!

    Tim and Virginia were amazing! You didn't even know they were there. They completely blend in with the crowd and venue, and their work is second to none. Our engagement pictures were the best photos of us we have, and we cannot wait for our wedding photos! We will definitely be strongly recommending them to all family and friends looking for photography services, Thank you so much Tim and Virginia!
