Absolutely loved, would hire again!

Carson was so easy to work with - I really don't like taking pictures but he made it really fun and easy! He did our engagement shoot and he worked with my vibe requests and absolutely nailed it, really was exactly what I wanted! He made us look like we knew what we were doing, he gave great directions. Great experience!

Carson captured everything so beautifully

Carson was an exceptional photographer for our Santa Barbara wedding. His skill in capturing moments was evident from the start. One of my favorite stories from the day was a guest telling me they saw him blending in on the dance floor, dancing around to grab photos—it was awesome! Carson effortlessly ensured every important detail was beautifully preserved. His professionalism and calm demeanor made him a joy to work with. We're thrilled with the photos he captured—they truly reflect the magic of our special day. Highly recommend!

One of the best decisions I made for my wedding was choosing this photographer

Could not be happier with the all of the photos I received! They were edited beautifully and he sent me so many!! Himself and the 2 other photographers were incredible. They captured absolutely everything. It was like having paparazzi! He is very professional and very talented. I have never had a professional photo shoot, so I didn’t know how to pose or what to do, so he guided us through all of it. There were so many poses that he had us do so that we ended up having a variety of different pictures that turned out impeccable !
