    Great to work with!

    Cara was super professional and responsive. She was willing to work with me and find a wedding package that fit my time and budget. Although I didn’t end up using her, I highly recommend her based on her communication style and speed as well as her experience!

    Wedding Photographer of our Dreams!!!

    When I was looking for photographers I wanted to find someone who was experienced in the industry and could help my husband and I feel comfortable in front of the camera. I wanted someone who could capture the love and joy of not only the two of us but of all our friends and family members too on our big day. When I first spoke with Cara over the phone she was so informative and receptive to all of my questions and concerns I had with finding a photographer for our wedding. I knew I'd found our photographer as soon as I hung up the phone! When we had our engagement photos done with Cara, she made us feel so comfortable right off the bat and really got to know us as a couple. We really felt like Cara balanced directing us and capturing the natural moments between the two of us so well which led to such beautiful photos we will treasure forever. Throughout the process before our wedding Cara was so organized and prepared with a timeline for our wedding day and was very easy to communicate with. She was thorough in making sure she knew exactly what my husband and I wanted captured on our wedding day. She brought such a comforting and positive presence to our day. We had so many guests tell us how wonderful, personable, and professional she was. One of our favorite things about our photos is how much they were balanced between posed photos and candid shots which is exactly what we wanted. Cara sent us sneak peak photos within two weeks after our wedding day and made sure she communicated with us when we could expect the rest of our photos which was greatly appreciated. Cara also worked so well with our videographers and DJ on our wedding day which is another credit to her professionalism and work ethic. We loved Cara so much and can't thank her enough for capturing the memories of the best day of our lives!!!

    Candace and Dan

    My husband and I were ecstatic when we first saw the images. We had a photo viewing party in our kitchen, and we could not stop smiling! The final images are the epitome of elegance and sophistication. Cara even came to my Airbnb where my bridesmaid's and I were getting ready! She put me at ease and made me feel so comfortable. She made me feel like a movie star! I had a blast! We are immensely grateful to Cara for capturing our precious memories with such grace and skill. If you are looking for a photographer who will exceed your expectations and deliver breathtaking images, we highly recommend reaching out to Cara!

    Cara was amazing!

    Planning a destination wedding is stressful, but Cara made the process very easy. She was extremely professional and personable. We had young children and people with medical needs. She was amazing at accommodating everyone's needs. The pictures turned out amazing! I am so thankful she was able to capture the love, happiness, and special relationships present at our wedding.

    Exceeded all expectations being the perfect fit

    I went into my wedding unsure of what my opinion might be for the photographer. You haven’t met each other, it’s weird with someone taking photos of you for 8 hours, (but also you do want those photos!), everyone who’s with you taking photos, being in a small room getting ready together, not sure how to act when taking photos, worried about the nerves, etc. But Cara was the perfect fit for every thing related to our wedding - which was truly the best night of our entire lives. I fell more in love with our wedding and how special it was, after seeing the photos that Cara was able to capture. Our photos are magical and more breath taking than we could have ever dreamed of.
    Cara came to the rescue so many times for me and my bridesmaids. From helping me button my dress last minute, having extra Bobby pins, a fan she graciously gave my maid of honor the entire time we were outside (when Cara’s face was clearly sweating..), and tips like wiping off the white from my deodorant LOL. She made me feel so comfortable, and so confident, and so calm. Her voice, her vibe, her positivity, her kindness and truly her caring personality just relaxes you. She made my friends/parents feel comfortable, laugh a few times, and we had so much fun taking photos together. Cara had so many great pose/photo ideas. She remembered everything we talked about, took notes, read the room, and remembered everyone’s name!!!! AMAZING!! She had fit right in and everyone loved her. Our photos are truly breathing, and we had a blast with our bridal party taking photos!
    Cara was always quick to answer a text, call, email and was so gracious and kind about it. She felt like she was almost your best friend. Cara took the time to quickly understand me and remember what’s important to me and what I would also want to avoid at my wedding.
    Her assistant was sweet and very helpful too, helping come to our rescue a few times! They were clearly way more prepared and were there when something was off. Her assistant was flawless at reorganizing the bridal party and family during photos & everything went smooth and efficient! They read the room and knew when we needed a break, they really did their best in helping us maintain our energy, confidence, positivity, and smile!
    My fiance LOVED his photographer. His exact words when I asked him after our first look, “did you like your photographer” and he said “yha he’s sick dude!” “ we took some sick photos, he had some great ideas”. LOL & my husband is not a photo taking kinda guy. So it goes along way.
    And we ONLY GOT THE SNEAK PEAKS!! I can’t wait to see their other photos!!!

    Amazing!!!

    We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer!! Cara and her team are the sweetest people you will ever meet! Cara really invested her time in getting to know us and our family. She learned our family members names to make the picture taken experience fast and easy after the wedding. She was very accommodating in all our request, even when we needed to make a last-minute location change. We did a sunset wedding and the sunset pictures she took of us were breathtaking! You could not go wrong with picking Cara for you photographer!

    Truest Professional in every sense of the word.

    Cara's enthusiasm and artistic flair will make your event a moment you will cherish forever. Her choices of backgrounds and poses will elevate your romance level, beyond the moment, to where you and your partner will feel like you are the only couple in the room.

    Best Photographer in the TBA!

    We are so thankful to have Cara capture our special day! We did not have a traditional wedding, and Cara was extremely flexible with all of my requests. The entire process with Cara was fun, comfortable, and seamless. We just received our photos and they exceeded all of my expectations. We highly recommend Cara and her team!!

    Cara is so friendly and does amazing work!

    Cara and her husband were recommended to us by our wedding planner. When we were meeting with our DJ, he was collecting our other vendors information, and he told me we had "the dream team". We selected them as we wanted both photography and videography due to having a destination wedding that not all our family was able to attend. Having said that, we did not meet with Cara until the day of the wedding, but we had very frequent phone conversations where she guided us through the entire process. Cara was always responsive, professional, organized and pleasant to talk to. Cara is very organized, and spent almost 2 hours on the phone with going over a list of every attendee, groups, singles, couples, etc. photos that we wanted to make sure we got in the busy moments following the ceremony. Cara had that list and made sure we got all the photos we asked for. We warned her that as a couple for 7 years, we had never felt photogenic and acted very awkward in front of a camera. She eased our nerves many times and assured us the day would be great. Finally on the day of, she made the photo process enjoyable for us. We had such a great time joking, not feeling awkward, and just being ourselves. Thank you, Cara, for everything!

    Kind and intuitive

    Cara was such a dream to work with! We had several non-traditional requests for our special day and Cara knew exactly how to capture us. I feel like I met a new friend, not just a vendor!

    Cara and her team are unmatched!

    Cara and her team are unmatched! They were amazing. They kept us on time, communicated with us, and made it so easy for us to get the photos we wanted but still be present for our day. They also had someone assisting who posted pictures on instagram so we could get a little view on what was to come! The photos we got in the sneak peek are incredible and I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE THEM!! Thank you so much for making our day better than we could have imagined. Book Cara and her team for your wedding; you won't regret it :):)

    Incredible Experience!

    WOW! Can not say enough amazing things about Cara and her team. They are beyond professional and made us feel 150% comfortable in front of the camera. Cara took the time before our big day to go over our very long and somewhat complicated shot list due to my extensive family. She understood that there is not always black and white dynamics and made sure to make everyone feel included. Not only was taking pictures fun but she was also having a great time with us which made it so special. Her and her team were sooo organized which made our picture time quick and easy. She also had her social media manager on site with us taking pictures and uploading them onto instagram in real time, tagging me and all of may vendors so I had something to see that night and share with my friends. Cara made sure to guide us through every shot and let us know we were doing a great job in the moment which is always great to hear. About a week after our wedding we got our "sneak peek" which was like 150 AMAZING shots and she said there's even more to come and we could not be more thrilled. When it comes to our big day, Cara and her team was a part of making it the PERFECT day and I would hire her again and again... I am in tears writing this because she is THAT GOOD! Hire her now. I promise you will not be disappointed. 100 / 10 would recommend over and over.

    Best experience ever!

    We hired Cara to photograph our "2nd" wedding ceremony with my family. Right from the start she was easy to get in contact with, responsive, and very kind and professional. She is absolutely the sweetest and kindest person you could have to work with, as well as an amazing photographer. She was enthusiastic, and helped to create a fun and relaxed atmosphere on what would normally be a very stressful day for people! She was well organized with a list of photos that we requested beforehand, so group photos went very smoothly, and she captured some amazing photos of us on the beach, which turned out amazing. I love every photo we received from her and will struggle to pick just a few to print out and frame. I highly recommend her, there's no way you would be disappointed. Thank you so much Cara!

    Cara was the best choice possible

    Cara was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process of planning our wedding. We’ve never worked with a professional photographer before, and now we’re spoiled, because Cara went way above and beyond what we expected of her.
    Not only did the pictures come out amazing, but she helped keep us comfortable, guided both of us (and 10 other people) through poses, and even helped pick the perfect spot on the beach to get married.
    My wife and I can’t recommend Cara enough. If you’re looking for a friendly, competent, knowledgeable, flexible, and caring photographer to help make your wedding day special and unforgettable, Cara is the photographer for you.

    Note: she also stuck to her turnaround time of 2 weeks to get us pictures after the event. AND she sent a “sneak peek” file before that to show us some of the pictures the day after the wedding. This was SUPER appreciated.

    She has a great eye

    Cara is the absolute best in the business! She takes her time and really gets to know you as a person and couple. The personalization reflects positively in her photos. She was a preferred vendor for our resort, so she knew all the good places to take photos. We just got our sneak peeks last night, and we were BLOWN AWAY. We cannot wait to receive them all, but we know they will be nothing short of amazing. Thank you so much for everything you do and all the communication leading up to the day to ensure everything we wanted was captured.

    Cara was our photographer for our wedding and she was absolutely amazing! Our experience from day one was fantastic and top notch! Everything went flawless from our first call (to work on the shot list), to after receiving our pictures! She helped our wedding day run so smoothly and her calm and fun personality made everyone feel comfortable getting their picture taken!

    Flexible & Fun for a Last Minute Wedding!

    From her calm & fun personality to her talent with making my new husband feel comfortable behind the camera, Cara is the BEST! We had a small last minute wedding (22 people) in Clearwater Florida, and she was able to accommodate everything we wanted. Cara also convinced us to go on the beach, and OH MY, I'm so glad we did. Those photos turned out looking like we were in a magical place. Deeply grateful for her capturing a joyous union of two families. I would recommend her in a heartbeat.

    One of our best decisions!

    We could not be happier with our decision to use Cara to capture our wedding weekend events. Cara was a pleasure to work with and a pleasure to have at the wedding. She was everywhere we wanted her to be but never in the way or bothersome in any way. Any time there was a moment to capture and you’d think about getting her attention, there she was with her warm, beautiful smile and camera at the ready. Don’t think twice about using Cara for your event - you will not be sorry. She was simply amazing!

    Truly incredible!!

    Where to even begin!? We contacted Cara Jan/Feb 2021 and right then and there, she was fantastic. She was super responsive, understanding, excited and ready to get started. She made a super detailed schedule that was used as the master schedule for all the vendors on our wedding day! Cara worked with me and listened to my wants and answered my questions, she even took the time over multiple calls throughout the planning process to understand the family photos we wanted and the whole dynamic of photos for the day. The day of the wedding (2.5.22) was absolutely perfect, thanks to Cara. She kept us on track but we never felt rushed or that we were running behind on time. She brought so much energy in the pictures with the bridesmaids (as did Ken with the groomsmen) which was so fun. She really helped to bring out a fun and photogenic side of my husband and I and let me tell you those photos turned out better than your wildest dreams. She was also great with our large family photos, they went so smoothly for such large groups and all the combinations we did. I have not stopped look at all the photos and sharing them with our friends and family! I cannot recommend Cara enough!!

    The absolute best photographer!!

    Choosing Cara as our photographer for our wedding is the BEST decision we could have made! We reached out to Cara about 5-6 months before our wedding date. After talking to her on the phone, we both immediately knew we had to have her as our photographer! She provided us with a timeline for the day of, that we used with every single vendor! It was so helpful and I have NO idea what I would have done without that!! I have never had professional photos done before and Cara has such a warm, calming, fun personality, that immediately I felt so comfortable! She even helped me get into my wedding dress, so that I could have a first look with my entire bridal party and Mother!! She truly has a gift and her work is absolutely stunning! I have truly falling in love with EVERY single photo she took! I can't stop looking at them and sharing all the photos with family and friends!! Cara is an angel and I would recommend her in a HEARTBEAT!!
