Choose caroline

Before I was even dating anyone, I saw my friend's wedding photos from Hawaii and told myself "when I get married I'm choosing Caroline!" Fast forward 2 years later when I started wedding planning I knew I had to choose Caroline... I have no regrets! Caroline is absolutely amazing in every way; she's so personable, caring, and her work speaks for itself. I originally had to postpone my original wedding date and she was literally the only vendor who reached out to check how I was doing that day. She was also so patient with me when I finally rebooked almost a year and a half later! And the most important: When I got the final wedding photos I literally felt like I was reliving every emotion I felt on that day. All I can say is : CHOOSE CAROLINE

Great shots

Caroline provided a beautiful array of photos, a variety of creative shots. She was very organized with her pre-wedding survey of important photos so she is on the same page as you. Additionally, she's very good with technology and electronic communication (contracts, messaging, email, text, zoom, photo viewing etc.) which was very important to us.

Every guy should read

As a guy proposing to my girlfriend, I never realized how impactful utilizing Caroline to capture our engagement could be until afterwards. She was so instrumental in orchestrating the location and timing since I was not from the area and needed an expert to brainstorm with. As a guy, you are so caught up in making it perfect that time seems to fly by and really becomes a blur in the moment. I will never forgot the day but because of these photos, I will never forgot the memories of how we felt through the reactions you captured. It brings me great joy when I see our excitement and love. I am forever grateful to you Caroline for the time you spent researching locations, the thoughtfulness of every shot, and the strategy behind in helping to create the perfect engagement! The value of your profession has my attention now and I will be utilizing you for special moments and vacations in the future. I really can’t thank you enough for quarterbacking and capturing one of the happiest moments in my life!”

Caroline was an absolute joy to have at our wedding and I can't recommend her highly enough. We've only seen the first 4 wedding photographs (it's only been a week since the wedding), but I'm so so excited to see the rest! SHE IS AMAZING! She was recommended by a photographer friend of mine, you know it's the best compliment when another very talented photographer chooses Caroline for his wedding. She also did our engagement pictures which turned out absolutely beautiful! I'm sure you can tell the quality of her work by looking at her website, she really takes wedding photography to the level of artistry. Aside from her talent, Caroline was responsive, professional and a real pleasure to work with! We had a lot of moving parts with our destination wedding and we were happy to have Caroline there to capture the memories. You won't regret if you choose Caroline, she is incredible to work with!

Beautiful photos, professional and efficient, artistic

Caroline and her assistant were wonderful! We would highly recommend her to other couples. She was efficient with family group photos, which saved us time to celebrate with our wedding party. She also has a thorough questionnaire that we filled out before the wedding, which helped her capture certain photos and events that we wanted. The main thing that drew me to her was her artistic eye that is different from most other standard photographers. She also has a talent for taking photos in low-light, which is not the case for some other photographers I looked at. Would highly recommend, Caroline is great!

Caroline is my dream wedding photographer! Though initially, it just didn't seem like our budget could swing it. We went with a different wedding photographer in the Austin area and regretted it as soon as we saw our engagement pictures. We should have just hired Caroline right away, you get what you pay for! We did our engagement pictures over with Caroline and they were so incredible. My husband really hates having his picture taken and Caroline made him feel comfortable and captured him as I see him, which is usually not ever seen in photos because he's scowling.
We had an incredibly intimate wedding of 24 guests and many later upon seeing our wedding photos commented to us how they hadn't noticed Caroline and her 2nd shooter Adam moving around to get all the beautiful shots they took. Caroline is all about capturing the moment without intruding. Our photos are timeless and the very definition of priceless. We are SO happy that we made it work within our budget (which was very small compared to the typical wedding) and that Caroline captured this amazing, whirlwind day of our lives so well.

We used Ben for my engagement and wedding photos. We have not received all the wedding photos, but have seen a couple and they are awesome! Our engagement photos were incredible. They are really good about capturing the regular moments that all the photographers get, but then are able to also make pieces of artwork that are just stunning photos that you happen to be in! Ben was really easy to work with, made us feel comfortable and was kind to family and friends when trying to get everyone in order. I would HIGHLY recommend them if you want above and beyond the normal "traditional" wedding photos and actually want some pieces of true artwork to have in your home.

Put briefly, Caroline + Ben are simply amazing!! HIRE THEM!!
When my wife and I started researching photographers, we started online and narrowed it down to a few whose styles we really enjoyed. Caroline + Ben were already our top pick. So, then we started talking to some friends who had recently gotten married. One friend had used someone else and we asked her about her experience. In short, she said “ was ok but looking back, I wish I had gone with my first choice, Caroline + Ben.” Then our decision was basically made. We then scheduled an appointment to meet with Caroline and Ben. We immediately bonded with them. We talked about our mutual love of travel and their love story. My wife and I made the decision to pay a little more to have both Caroline and Ben present instead of one or the other and an assistant…BEST.DECISION.EVER! Because they have such a cute love together, the way they work together as a team is just as awesome. I have to advise new couples…there is always nervousness in between when the wedding is over and when you receive pictures. The funny thing for me was thinking, “Where were they all night?” But then we received the pictures and we were blown away. They were clearly EVERYWHERE!! I thought to myself, “How did they do all that?” When we looked at the very intimate moments they captured during the wedding ceremony, I am still amazed! And then at the reception…amazing again! When I think about all the times I have tried photographing a group, you usually catch people with the worst facial expressions. But Caroline + Ben have this uncanny skill of capturing everyone at their very best…smiles, laughter, hugs, tears…every amazing moment! My wife and I literally looked through the pictures over and over again. It was really like re-living the entire wedding!

As soon as we were engaged my sister (maid of honor) said we had to go with Caroline and Ben. After we booked our venue and saw they were also recommended by our venue we immediately checked out their website and contacted them. We did look at other photographers but there were no others that we felt compared. Ben is who actually shot our wedding day along with his assistant. We are extremely happy with the work and our photos. Some moments we didn't think would be captured definitely were. There was a storm rolling in and Ben captured a moment with the two of us standing outside as the lightening struck lighting up the sky (overall our favorite pic). We love looking back at our photos and laughing at all the moments that we missed during our day. We had so many favorites that it was extremely difficult to decided on the final photos for the album. Only thing we regret was not having Ben do our engagement photos. <3 J&C 10-2013

You should book Caroline + Ben. Just do it. You won't be sorry.

I hired Caroline to photograph our teeny tiny elopment at the Travis County Courthouse in June 2013. Caroline made our six-guest event look classic and charming. She was amazing and putting everyone at ease and getting through formal "posed" shots quickly to get to the fun stuff. She has an amazing eye and her shots were beautiful.

Most. Amazing. Wedding photos. EVER.

Caroline and Ben captured pure joy and jubilance on every single face that night (which is a bit of a task for almost 300 people). I still cry every time I look at them. I've had such a hard time putting into words how incredibly amazing they are. Guests at the wedding kept saying how Ben & Caroline were everywhere and nowhere at the same time. Photo Ninjas!

Some choice quotes after we received and posted our wedding photos:

"I'm going to print out ALL of your wedding photos and hang them in my house, even pictures of the beautiful people I don't know." -Sister in Law

"wow these are some of the best photos from an event that i've ever seen. I wasn't there but you captured something so special" -somebody I don't know

Ben and Caroline- there's nobody better. Period.

Caroline from Caroline + Ben Photography was absolutely amazing! Caroline was the very first vendor we locked in, photography was one of the most important pieces of our wedding ensemble… we were so happy to lock in and work with Caroline! She was so helpful throughout our planning process… she led us to many of our wonderful vendors, including our amazing Videographer (The Wedding Theater). Caroline was prompt to reply to all emails and calls. She was very thorough and clear during our meetings and met our expectations. Caroline and her team captured the emotion and story of our wedding better than we could have ever imagined. The moments she caught we unbelievable… we didn’t even know that she was snapping photos, she and her team were so stealth. Caroline also helped supply an awesome photo booth with great back drop and props; it was a highlight of the evening! Caroline is absolutely amazing, she is so easy to work with and very professional, polite and fun! Most importantly her photos are absolutely incredible! We highly recommend Caroline + Ben Photography… you will not be disappointed

Caroline and her team are awesome to work with, and the images and moments they capture on film are more than amazing. She is a pleasure to work with from the first appointment to the engagement photo shoot to the day of the wedding. The photo packages they offer include all that you need to chronicle your special day. Caroline makes everything so easy and simple and puts you and your guests at ease. I didn’t really have to give her or her team much direction. From the images I saw on their website, I knew I was in good hands. I trusted that they knew what they were doing and I was so pleased with the finished product. She has a good eye for getting the right shots at the right moments without you even knowing she is there. Caroline is so creative and innovative with the photos and moments that were captured. Her and her team give you so many different angles and perspective that it takes you right back to the moment and you experience it all over again. All of our guests who have seen the photos rave about how awesome they are, and request the images they want to keep for themselves. We can’t thank Caroline enough for the wonderful images she captured, and the beautiful moments that we can look back on and remember forever.

You can look through Caroline's portfolio and see that she is an awesome photographer. But what you won't know until you book her is that she is truely a gem! Caroline truely made our engagement session so much fun! She picked an orginal area for us to shoot. She utilized the area so well that we didn't need to go to several locations to get shots that looked miles from each other! We couldn't be happier with out engagement photos, we have gotten endless compliments on them! We got a sneak peek of our wedding day photos and they are amazing! I can't wait to see all of them. I know they will be even more gorgeous then the engagement! Thank you Caroline for capturing everything so beautifully!

I can't say enough great things about Caroline. She is amazing. I continue to get compliments about my engagement session, and so many compliments about how wonderfully she captured the true emotion of my wedding day. She goes above and beyond to make sure the bride is happy, and doesn't mind literally getting in the dirt for a great shot. Even better, when there was a threat of rain, she told me how great that lighting made photos. She made a nervous bride a bit more calm about the weather. She was open to my every thought an suggestion and had some great ones herself. She is amazing, I am so happy/pleased/elated with what she and her 2nd photog did for our wedding day.

Caroline is the absolute best in the business- she came recommended to me by a professional photographer- what more can you ask for? From the moment we met she was completely professional, and by the end I want to count her as one of my friends. The photographer was the most important vendor to me, and as such Caroline was my first choice and the first vendor I booked. I could not be happier with her work!! All my friends and relatives are STILL calling and asking "who was your photographer?!" and "where do I get copies of these fantastic photos?!" Of all the stresses I had on the wedding day, worrying about the photography turning out well was not one of them, and that was worth way more than we paid for Caroline's beautiful work. Thank you Caroline!!

Ben is wonderful! Professional, ready to have a good time, and will climb on anything for a great shot. :) Not only is Ben an awesome photographer, but he's got a fun personality too. It's easy to be comfortable with him.
Stacy and I were blown away with the whole package. Highly recommended!

Like her business name implies, Caroline is an extremely sweet person to work with. She will not hesitate to get down and dirty to capture an amazing shot. She was always punctual and answered all of my emails right away. It was easy to schedule a engagement shoot day with her. After each shoot, she was super quick to have a few teaser photos posted on her blog within a week, and had the rest of the images available within the time frame she promised.

I have no regrets having her do my engagement and wedding photography. Every image is bright and breathtaking and has her own special touch. She captured all the small details and moments that we were unable to see come to life at our wedding. We cannot stop looking through them again and again. The photographs she took have become one of our most valued possessions. You will not regret having Sweet Caroline photograph your wedding or any special occasion!

Where do I even start? From the very first email and consultation, I knew that Ben was flexible, professional, experienced, easy going, and accommodating. I knew he had the photography skills from viewing his portfolio online but he completely went above and beyond. Ben listened to what I had envisioned for our engagement session and he found the perfect location for us and worked with us to get amazing pictures. I also had my bridal pictures done with him and ill planning on my part left me without a framed picture for the wedding and it was days away! Ben shows up the day of with a beautiful portrait for me. Amazing! Ben and Caroline were wonderful on the day of the wedding. They were nonintrusive (you know the kind, where it seems like they're at the altar with you) but were able to capture amazing pictures from all different angles.
Seriously, I don't know what more I can say to convince you Ben is the photographer for you! I could go on and on though. Oh and as an extra special touch, our CD was sent in an amazing keepsake container. From beginning to end, Ben was amazing and exceeded all our expectations.

The second Daniel and I met with Ben, we knew right away that he would do an amazing job with capturing every moment of our engagement through our wedding night! After looking through HUNDREDS of other local photographers' portfolios, we knew we had to have Ben for the wedding. He truly has a gift of capturing every moment in the best light. From the very start, Daniel and I have been blown away by every photo Ben has captured. We couldn't have asked for anything more from Ben. Without him, we wouldn't have been given the blessing of reliving the wedding everyday through his pictures. You can count on Ben for capturing literally EVERY second of your wedding! Thank you Ben for everything you have given Daniel! Your photography was the best wedding present, EVER! :)
