  Amazing photos!

  Carmella was over the top excellent! We only have our preview photos so far and they are already unbelievably gorgeous. Not only is her work great, but her professionalism, compassion and ability to go with the flow is amazing. We had some hiccups with people being late and she seamlessly shifted things around to make sure it was all still perfect. She is a true professional. Thank you!

  Amazing photographer

  Carmella was amazing. When she first got to the wedding she introduced herself and explained everything she was going to do. She check on me and my bridesmaids often to inform us when we were doing our photos. After the ceremony she did our photos and even asked my husband and I if we needed anything to drink. Her photos look amazing that I have got. She was very surprised that we got her a birthday cake since our wedding was on her birthday and even though we did that she was so grateful and made sure to thank us before she left that night. I will recommend her to anyone that needs a photographer for their special day.

  Beyond Excellent

  Carmela is the most gentile and kind photographer you will meet. She guides you during the entire photo session and worked super well with out videographers. We got come beautiful photos of our wedding day and engagement session that my husband and I will cherish the rest of your lives. She is very punctual and made us feel comfortable being in front of the camera for some lovely candid shots. Compared to alot of other photographers, her prices are excellent and she has far better picture quality than most. Can't recommend more highly.

  Knowledgeable sweet photographer

  We interviewed several good photographers before our September wedding but what stood out about Carmela was her knowledge of how the wedding day flows and her ability to listen to what we were looking for in a photographer. She was easy going and calm the day of our wedding which was wonderful because wedding days can get a little crazy. The photos were delivered quickly and were gorgeous. Thank you so much for your sweetness and help with our wedding day!

  Love Story Through A Lens

  Professional, experienced, easy to work with, reliable, and most of all beautiful photographs!
  Carmela is a true artist when it comes to shooting photographs that incorporate those unforgettable moments and combining them to tell a story that are forever memorialized through her work as a photographer. Those once in a lifetime events can be relived each time you choose to look at that picture or set of pictures.
  Carmela was the photographer at our wedding. Our experience with her was fantastic. We met with her a week before the wedding as she guided us through her thought process and the timing of when the sets of photographs would be taken all while listening to our input into what we wanted the photographs to display. Her artistic talent for photography led to a gallery of hundreds and and hundreds of pictures that were all laid out to tell an amazing story of a wonderful day! She truly went over and above any expectation that we had and we both were blessed to have her as our photographer on our wedding day!

  Amazing!!!

  Carmen was the best wedding photographer I could have ever imagined having. She worked so well with everyone and we actually did two engagement shoots. Both were amazing. Our wedding day was flawless and she knew exactly what to do.

  I am a photographer who needed a photographer for my son’s wedding. I was happy to photograph as much as I could for the wedding but obviously couldn’t do it all and be in the image too. And I not only lived in another town from the venue, but in another state, too so I had to find a photographer from long distance. When I came across Carmen and saw her work online, It seemed that her style was similar to mine. She was a good choice for my son and daughter in law’s wedding, easy to work with and lots of good images!!! Thank you, Carmen!

  I couldn't have chosen anyone better to be our photographer! Thankfully we were able to find her last minute due to an emergency with our other photographer, THE DAY BEFORE, and she was extremely flexible. She was very personable, dedicated and I'd recommend her in a heart beat!

  Thank you so so much for being part of our day and capturing such magical shots. They are even more amazing than what we could have imagined. You're such a sweet and creative woman who made us feel so at ease on the day. Thanks again.

  We had a destination wedding in October in Dunedin. I found Carmela online and although we didn't meet before the wedding she was able to help me feel at ease. The pictures are amazing and she captured our personalities perfectly on film!

  I met Carmen through a Facebook promotional. We had our engagement and wedding photos done with her, and I could not give a more enthusiastic review! My husband and I have never been great in front of a camera, but the photos (with Carmen's coaching) came out beautifully! She was always quick to respond to my questions, was early to both events, and really set us at ease. Her natural style is full of light and color, and really made the details of our wedding day pop! On top of all that, she is very personable, and really a joy to work with!
  
  I highly recommend Carmen for your next booking- she is a star!

  She was amazing! I had a 5 year old with severe autism (non verbal) and a 17 year old with autism in my wedding party. Not only did she take gorgeous photos of us but she song "head shoulders knees and toes" and "happy birthday" (the 2 boys favorite songs). To keep them happy and laughing even in uncomfortable clothes.
  
  She also worked well with my big family (one of 6 kids) and my large extended family. My mother in law who had a strock that morning while getting ready she got good pictures of. She also got good photos of just people being happy at our wedding.
  
  I couldn't have asked for a better photographer!

  I was introduced to Carmen through my fiance, as she is married to one of his coworkers. When she offered to take our engagement photos, I was excited, and then I saw the pictures and was elated. There was not a doubt that we wanted her to take our wedding photos as well!
  
  Carmen put me at ease, and she took charge as if she has been doing this for years. Her pictures not only caught the fun and whimsy of our event, but she also captured the essence and spirit of our event and personalities. We will definitely continue to use Carmen for any all family photo shoots.
