    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.

    Carrie Wildes' team is absolutely amazing! From requesting a price quote to the engagement photos to the wedding, and after Carrie and her team have been amazing! When I ask for pictures early, as a result of close deadlines in ordering stationary Carrie has been wonderful pulling photo's for me, before I receive them all. Linda is an amazing photographer, and was so great to work with for the Engagement photo's as well as at the wedding. I have only seen a few pictures from my wedding so far, but I am already in love with them. The quality is truly amazing!

    Bowers/Gomez Wedding 12/04/21

    My husband and I were so happy we chose Carrie Wildes to photograph our wedding at the Don CeSar! Carrie and her assistant were wonderful to work with. They were professional, but fun as well - we felt completely at ease from the start! Our wedding photos were absolutely stunning! They did an amazing job capturing every beautiful moment and candid detail, and taking advantage of our gorgeous surroundings, as well. We couldn't be happier, and would highly recommend Carrie Wildes Photography for any event!

    Professional and Wonderful Wedding Photographer!

    We used Carrie Wildes to photograph our wedding at the Florida Aquarium since she is one of the preferred vendors. I couldn't be more happy with her work. We used her for our engagement shoot and my family was so impressed with her work. During our wedding she and her assistant, Linda, are quiet as a mouse shooting picture after picture (a good photographer works in the background). I didn't even know they were there shooting all those pictures and couldn't believe all the pics they got of my wedding without me even knowing! I was worried after the wedding thinking I didn't get pictures of everyone but I never had any reason to worry since Carrie and her team got great shots of everything that night! The quality of her work is superb! I was also worried since I knew my wedding was going to be small (around 50 people), but size didn't matter since the pictures turned out so well. Carrie makes everyone look great. I am still looking at my wedding photos months after our big day. Also, it was a destination wedding for us, but we were able to meet with Carrie via Zoom to discuss all details before the big day.

    Carrie Wildes Photography's reply:

    Emily! So glad you loved everything:-) You all were so fun to work with and had so many amazing moments. Thank you for having us be there to capture it!

    Carrie and her team are amazing!

    I was able to book Carrie about a year before my wedding. My friends in Tampa Bay couldn’t believe how lucky I was. Along with amazing pictures she is so awesome to work with. She helped me put together a time line for the day and manage lots of folks. The pictures are amazing!!!

    Amazing Experience with Carrie Wildes Photography

    We chose Carrie Wildes Photography as our wedding photographer after seeing a list of recommended vendors provided by our venue. From the very first time I reached out to inquire about packages through the entire process, Carrie was very responsive, friendly, and flexible. Once we visited her beautiful studio, we felt welcome and knew we were making the right choice!

    Within a few months of our initial booking, we had our engagement shoot with Miriam and had a wonderful time at the park. She has such an outgoing and kind personality, which made us feel relaxed within minutes. Since our engagement shoot went so well, we knew we were in good hands for our wedding!

    When our special day finally came, Miriam and Erica arrived early, scoped out the best spots at our venue, and provided creative ideas. Not only did we love our final pictures, but both Miriam and Erica were so much fun to work with! They were a great team and made us all feel comfortable being in the spotlight.

    Carrie and her entire team are wonderful! We highly recommend and couldn't be happier with choosing them to capture the best day of our lives!

    Thank you so much for these amazing words Holly!! We LOVED working with you guys on your perfect day!!!!

    Carrie and her team are amazing!

    Carrie was fantastic to work with. She worked with us through our engagement photos and our wedding. Carrie made the entire process so easy. For our engagement session she helped us to use our tandem bicycle as a prop! We had so much fun.
    Our wedding day was perfect. I have a very big family with lots of kids-at times it seems like chaos but It did not phase Carrie or her collegue Linda. They were both so professional and so nice to work with. I would recommend them to anyone. We are so so happy with our pictures.

    Fantastic Sunset Photos!

    Our photographer Linda was simply wonderful! She was responsive and helpful over email. On the day of she was flexible and accommodating of all our family's needs--many of the family members were celebrating being together in one place for the first time in a long time and really appreciated the chance to have lovely professional photos. We had so many great group photos as a result! Linda also stayed on top of the schedule and reminded us when we needed to take certain photos, especially sunset photos, so we didn't miss any great opportunities! The sunset photos are particularly stunning. Linda did such a great job! We will treasure these photos for a long long time. We are very grateful to have Linda photograph our Florida reception. And afterward Carrie led me through their photo program and how to share and download photos. I really appreciated everyone's attention to all parts of the process.

    Carrie and her team are experts in the industry and do everything to make the photography portion of your wedding stress-free. We worked with Miriam for our engagement shoot and wedding. Everything was GORGEOUS! She took the time to walk around to all of the spots we wanted to shoot in front of and was truly flexible on-site to cover everything we wanted. Carrie took care of all of the contracting, paperwork and other details - always incredibly responsive and helpful! Highly recommend this company for ANY sort of photo shoot - they made our wedding memories truly perfect!

    Carrie is so amazing to work with. She and her team always answer emails quickly, are super sweet and made sure that my wedding planning and day were perfect. My photography team- Miriam and Greta were simply amazing. Miriam was the lead photographer and she captured every moment of my day and was so easy to work with. She made sure to get every picture that was on my shot list. She was fun and made sure we were comfortable. Greta made sure to get all the room and detail shots and also got some of my husband and his groomsmen which is not an easy task. Carrie Wildes Photography not only made sure my day was perfect, but made sure that I will always be able to relive the best day of my life through their photographs.

    Miriam and Linda were absolutely incredible to work with! I can't wait to see the photos they took. They were attentive and I loved working with them. My husband and I are not very photogenic people, but they were able to make us laugh and feel comfortable. Working with Carrie for all of the preparation was amazing; she explained the process in detail and was very professional. I would highly recommend Carrie Wildes for any photography needs!

    I was recommended to Carrie through my event director and for her recommendation I will forever be grateful!!! The best compliment I believe I can provide Carrie and her team was they just captured the happiness and joy of our day so amazingly. I am my own worst critic and out of the 1000+ haha picture Carrie and her team took i kid you not there was not a bad one! from getting ready to the last detail our pictures are STUNNING and we will always cherish them as a true reminder of our special day! So i guess that's the best thing to look for in a photographer BUT on top of that Carrie is an Absolute JOY to work with! So bubbly and fun! If you can book Carrie for your special day, I can say one thing, you will have GREAT Pictures and a great Photography experience!

    I can't say enough about Carrie Wildes and her staff.. they are truly, hands down incredible people! From day one, Carrie was extremely kind and helpful to me and put us in the best hands with Kandice. We had some fun and rather unique ideas when it came to photos and Kandice was onboard 100% through it all. She was professional, fun, friendly, and so personable. Wayne and I loved working with Kandice as well as our bridal party and family.. we received so many compliments on our photos and Kandice after the wedding. Her and Ana were able to capture such gorgeous photos even when the weather did not always cooperate. When I was anxious and nervous, Kandice kept me calm and never let me worry.. no matter what was going on, she always managed to capture the amazing shot! Carrie is extremely professional and helpful and always answered every question. She definitely made the photo process easy for Wayne and I. Carrie Wildes Photography is very highly recommended!!

    We used Carrie Wildes Photography for our wedding at Isla Del Sol in St. Pete, FL. We wanted a photographer who could capture the event and special moments, but also allow us to enjoy ourselves and our guest without dedicating a large chunk of time to just taking photos. Kandace was our photographer and completely understood. She was so much fun to work with and really contributed to making our wedding special. She also coordinated very well with the other vendors so we didn't have to worry about anything. We had a fantastic time and we have all the memories captured beautifully in our photo album.

    I met Carrie many years ago through my job, and instantly fell in love with her work. I told myself when I got married, no matter what, I HAD to have her photographing the day! After I had booked my venue and nailed down a date, I emailed her. I got a personal response within a couple of hours, and she was as excited to hear from me as I was to email her! We set up a meeting and she was even more amazing than I remembered.

    We were doing a destination wedding, and Carrie insisted she was going to do it herself. She was so excited to be visiting an area she'd never been to before! Together, we made arrangements for Carrie and her husband (who officiated for us) to travel to the resort and stay. She made us feel completely at ease during engagement photos, and it was a great opportunity for us all to get to know each other. The entire process from booking to wedding day was perfectly smooth and she was nothing but patient and sweet throughout.

    We are so excited to see our photos!

    We live in Chicago but got married on Clearwater Beach, FL. It is a little stressful finding vendors when you don't know many people in the area to ask or when you're not able to walk in and meet with them face to face. Carrie Wildes Photography was one of our venue's recommendations so I researched a little about them and also read reviews. From the very beginning of working with Carrie, it was seamless and stress free. It was great that they've shot so many events at my venue so they were familiar with the surroundings, and the flow of the day. Carrie was quick to respond with any type of communication or question I had, and when she introduced me to my lead photographer, Kandice, a few months before, she was just as accommodating and sweet. On the day of, Kandice and Haley were great! They helped capture all of the pictures we wanted as well as made us feel comfortable and relaxed. I had a brief "freak out" moment when it felt impossible to get our families together for a picture, and with kids crying not wanting to take pictures, but Kandice and Haley were calm and professional. I would definitely recommend Carrie Wildes Photography for anything you need photography for!
