    The Covic Wedding

    Carsten is the man! He did such an incredible job at our wedding, and his personality made it 10 times better! This company is awesome. They went above and beyond to give us everything we wanted. Highly recommend them!

    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!

    Jessica, your review melts our hearts like a slow-burn candle on a cozy winter night!

    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!!

    Absolutely amazing photographers!!!

    Carsten and Leigh were absolutely wonderful to work with! The pictures were AMAZING!! I have gotten so many compliments and comments on how beautiful and professional the wedding pictures look. It touched my heart that they had printed out the wedding timeline I had sent them. They not only photographed the entire wedding, but also made sure that the day went smoothly and that we followed the timeline I had made! It was like having a wedding coordinator and photographer wrapped up into one. They showed up on time to every event and were supportive the whole day. My entire wedding party loved them. My husband and I were really lucky to have such an experienced and friendly duo to capture our day. Would absolutely book them again!!!

    Best investment ever!

    We used Carsten and Leigh for our wedding and engagement photos, and I cannot say enough positive things about them as both people and professional photographers. I will be the first to admit that being the subject of photos is probably my worst nightmare, and in spite of doing our due diligence in trying to find great photographers, I figured I would probably dislike all my wedding photos too. I could not have been more surprised to open our albums and find that we loved literally every single photo. We even have guests who have framed photos taken at our reception—I cannot exaggerate how perfectly Carsten and Leigh captured each moment and each subject. They knew exactly what to do or say to curate a perfect natural shot. Beyond delivering stunning photos, they were incredibly organized, communicative, and personable. It was an absolute pleasure working with them, and I couldn’t imagine trusting anyone else with the task of coordinating, capturing and perfectly presenting such treasured memories. We are so thankful to have hired the Visual Arts Wedding Photography team.

    Carsten & Leigh were the MVPs of our wedding!

    We hired them to capture our special day, and we could not be more pleased. We first met them after hiring them for an engagement shoot, and we were thrilled, so we knew Carsten & Leigh would be just as wonderful for the wedding. Little did we know, they did more to coordinate things then our day-of coordinator seemed to do to move things along smoothly. We got our pictures back way quicker than we expected (about 4 weeks), and they were great. There were hundreds of them despite our wedding being short. I absolutely recommend hiring both Carsten & Leigh because some of our most cherished photos are our reactions with each other, and that could not have been achieved without both. You will not regret hiring Visual Arts Wedding Photography. If I ever need a photographer again, I will not hesitate to reach out to them. They’re prompt, kind, and talented. You couldn’t ask for more.

    Fantastic!

    Carsten and Leigh were absolutely everything you want from a wedding photographer and so much more. They are compassionate, collaborative, fun, and, most importantly - TALENTED.

    Think of your dream wedding photos. Then double it, triple it, and you might just reach the level of quality you get from them. I heard so many comments from friends and family about how much they loved them too.

    Quit reading my review and BOOK THEM!

    Fun, Knowledgeable, PERFECT

    Carsten and Leigh are AMAZING! They’re so funny and creative. They are thankfully very knowledgeable and quick on their feet because we ran into a couple of snags throughout the day and they operated seamlessly. Our guests and family are still talking about the great energy and fun they added to our wedding!! We are extremely camera shy and Carsten and Leigh do their best to give you your own little bubble during a hectic day. They truly made us feel so beautiful on our wedding day 🤍

    Photographers turned friends

    My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Carsten and Leigh for our engagement shoot and wedding. From the moment we met them, it was an instant connection. It did not feel like we had random people taking our pictures, it felt like family was. Leigh was with me while I was getting ready, not only taking pictures, but also helping around anywhere she could. She made sure I was happy and content! After the wedding, so many of our guests were going on and on how much they loved Carsten and Leigh! We now have lifelong friends! I will absolutely recommend Visual Arts Wedding Photography to all of our friends and family!

    By far my best choice

    I cannot recommend Carsten and Leigh highly enough!!! For wedding, engagement, or family photos - these are the two you want. Carsten and Leigh were so wonderful from our very first meeting. We were instantly drawn to their timeless style of photos, but their kindness and warmth sealed the deal. Throughout the wedding planning process, they were amazing at checking in and even sending thoughtful gifts. I felt completely comfortable telling them the things I wanted, they always made sure to deliver. We hired their services for an hour of the rehearsal dinner which they accommodated and allowed me to have even more memories. I think the most amazing thing was getting a sneak peek within days of our wedding! As photographers, they are amazing. As people, equally amazing. Wedding days are wild and go by in the blink of an eye, by far my best choice was hiring Visual Arts Wedding Photography to help move the day along and take gorgeous photos I get to keep forever.

    I can't say enough great things about Visual Arts Photography!!!!

    Carsten was a DREAM to have photograph my wedding. From the start, he was very responsive, put together a timeline for our wedding and gave us lots of great advice on how to set things up for the day. We had some last minute changes due to weather and had to push our ceremony several hours and change location, he was completely accommodating. On the day of the wedding - WOW! Carsten went above and beyond. He felt like a part of the family. As the bride, I felt so supported by him and his wife Leigh. On top of directing the whole family into poses, helping me and my husband feel natural and at ease on camera, they helped my mom and my sister with all of our belongings. Every single person at the wedding was thoroughly impressed by them. They were very professional, very dedicated to their craft. They felt like family members, but also didn't over impose themselves or anything at all. They were complete professionals who could anticipate our needs. Carsten also sent us a sneak peek at our photos and they are absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! The space we were in was a little dark, but using their lighting, they made the images stand out and feel so genuine to the day.

    Hey Rebecca!!! We really appreciate you taking the time to write this! Your wedding was incredible and in one of the most beautiful locations. We wish you two all the best!
