    Cara was the best!

    Cara and her team were absolutely amazing the whole process! From the Initial phone consultation, engagement pictures, bridal pictures, and the wedding I was blown away with all the beautiful photos. It was so much fun getting to know Cara as well she’s such a great person!

    Simply amazing

    Cara and her team are simply excellent. Not only are they professional, flexible, and take AMAZING photos, they are personable and hilarious. Cara made us feel so comfortable on our wedding day and we really couldnt have hired a better photographer. I also had a bridal shoot months before our wedding and she directed me through the entire process to make sure the angles were just right! Our wedding pictures were incredible. I recommend her to anyone and everyone who is getting married in the Raleigh area. BOOK THEM!

    Cara is the absolute best!

    My husband, Travis, and I have been SO impressed with Cara throughout our wedding experience. She spoke with us at length on the phone before we decided to go with her and was so great at answering all of our questions.
    Cara shot our engagement photos in Nov 2019 and our small wedding ceremony in Nov 2020 and both experiences were FANTASTIC. She is truly an expert at what she does and we cannot wait to have her photograph our postponed wedding celebration in May 2021!

    Perfect Wedding Photographer

    When looking for wedding photographers, the photos from f8 Photo Studios (Cara and Adrienne) were the style of photography we wanted because they were crisp and natural. After meeting with Cara, we knew we wanted them to photograph not only our wedding but also our engagement photos. We picked the package with the associate photographer, Adrienne, and met her for our engagement photo session. With a short conversation we connected with Adrienne quickly and the photos turned out amazing. When it came to the wedding day, Adrienne and her second shooter captured every moment we could have possibly wanted as well as being able to deal with our easily distractible family. The photos from the first look still make...

    A Breeze To work with

    I worked with Cara for my October 2019 wedding, and she and her team were fantastic! Cara worked with me to stay within my budget and she was fun and delightful to partner with. Our photographer, Lindsay, made my husband and I feel at ease and helped us work out the jitters and stiffness in our portrait session. Lindsay kept us on track and took beautiful images of our celebration. I am thrilled with how our sneak peak photos turned out and look forward to seeing more. I live in Maine and planned a wedding in Raleigh, NC. Cara and Lindsay made it easy to plan from afar over phone and email.

    Engagement & Wedding Photos | Experience with f8

    f8 Photo Studios is THE best! Cara is incredibly talented. She did my engagement and wedding photos. On both days, it was insanely hot outside and somehow she managed to make everyone look amazing. She gets the job done, gets THE picture, and truly knows how to capture the moment. I would recommend her to anyone truly. We couldn't be happier with our pictures and will cherish them forever. Thank you f8!

    Wonderful!!

    A true fairytale!

    We couldn't have asked for a better photographer! Cara's partner, Adrienne, did our engagement session and wedding day (with Lacy!!) - made taking 100s of pictures FUN, we were laughing the entire time. We've loved looking through our gallery and continuously receive compliments about our incredible pictures! Both Cara and Adrienne were absolutely incredible to work with - made the entire process easy, which is a bride's dream among all the wedding planning! A photographer is one of the biggest decisions throughout planning, if not the biggest, and we are SO happy we chose F8 to be a part of our special day. Thank you!!

    So fun to work with!!

    We're very happy to have had Cara photograph our wedding. We keep looking back at our photos and love how they really capture the beauty of everything and helped make us look great!

    Meeting Cara for our engagement photos was great because it gave us an opportunity to see how she worked and be more relaxed on our wedding day since we weren't total strangers. She also is fun and jokes around to make you relax and smile the whole time.

    My husband is a photographer himself, so Cara went above and beyond by scouting out our venue the day before and taking some great shots of the beautiful scenery! It wasn't something she had to...

    Best Photos Ever!

    What an amazing experience all around. Cara was phenomenal to talk to and I felt like she really "got me". Adrienne was so fun to work with and took some amazing photos. We did an engagement shoot first and she really put my husband and I at ease. We had so much fun!! Throughout the process she was so available and responsive. And really took the time to get to know us. Then, when the wedding rolled around it was smooth sailing. The formal pictures went so quickly because we had really planned it all out ahead of time. I got the pictures back super quickly which was a huge surprise! When I saw all the candid ones that...

    Beautiful pictures and amazing photographers!

    Amazing! We were so lucky to have Cara and Lacey shoot our wedding. They were so fun on the day of, making everyone feel comfortable and even getting smiles out of my dad! They caught moments that we missed during the day, but got to see all of it through the amazing pictures! I am in love with our photos and recommend f8 photo studios to anyone! You could tell Cara truly cared about being part of our day and made it so special! Thank you thank you!

    F8 was absolutely amazing! Cara is so personable, and was so responsive and flexible when working with me even when we had to reschedule the wedding to the next year for personal reasons. She did not charge us a cancellation fee and was so understanding. Adrienne was so cool and such an awesome photographer - so fun to work with! They both made us feel very special and Adrienne talked with us numerous times to make sure she knew exactly what we wanted and worked with us to make our packed photo schedule work out. She did our engagement photos as well and they were absolutely stunning. I can't wait to see the wedding photos! I would definitely recommend...

    Cara from f8 Photo Studios photograph my engagement session, bridal portrait, and wedding. She is absolutely amazing. Not only is she is great and one of the best photographers, but she truly cares for her clients. On my wedding day I wanted pictures of extended family and even though it took a large amount of time Cara was still able to get it done. These are photos that I will cherish for a lifetime. As a recent bride, I know that your wedding day goes by so fast and it is really hard to take everything in. Cara was able to capture every special moment plus many others through her photos. When my husband and I are celebrating our...

    We loved working with Cara! From our freezing cold engagement shoot to our wedding day, she captured this special time in our lives so beautifully! Cara put us both at ease while we were in front of the camera and always made us feel so special! We will cherish the photos forever!

    Cara and her team truly captured our day perfectly. They were professional, prompt, and pleasant! Cara kept us laughing and made sure everything ran so smoothly. She gave us a peace of mind that was invaluable. Thank you, Cara and Lacy!

    F8 Photo Studios did such an amazing job on our wedding photos! Cara is so much fun to work with and makes you feel like a model! She was so efficient organizing the family pictures we wanted and she captured all of our favorite moments throughout the night. We loved working with her and totally recommend her for your wedding photography!

    Friendly photographer, great photos!

    It was great to work with Adrienne and f8. She put us at ease during our initial meeting, months ahead of the wedding, by really explaining the photo package and her style clearly. Then, once the wedding was getting closer, Adrienne reached out with helpful planning docs. I really appreciated how she made sure to know exactly what family photos we wanted, even checking whether there were any family dynamics she shoudl know abut to avoid any awkwardness (none in my case, but I appreciated the ask!). She was clear about the timeline we would need to get the photos we wanted so that we were able to coordinate with our makeup artist as well. On the day of,...

    Adrienne is awesome!

    Adrienne Fox was our photographer for both our engagement photos and our wedding photos. The quality of both was incredible and she was such a pleasure to work with. She brought a second shooter who I barely noticed on our big day (a good thing), while taking wonderful photos. Adrienne worked very well with our videographer too, which I learned in the industry isn't always a given. 10/10 would hire Adrienne again thanks so much for our memories!

    I was so happy with the responsiveness, helpfulness, & more from f8 I posted a review before even having a photo session. After that, we had an engagement session that was honestly one of the best wedding-related decisions I made. I usually hate taking pictures but Adrienne made it so much fun! We would have been excited going into the wedding based on her personality alone, but the pictures-oh my gosh. They are perfect. Cool angles, beautiful light, I don't know enough about photography to know exactly why they're that good, I just know I love them. One of my favorite compliments about them was that we look just like us, not a fake version of us. For the...

    My daughter used Cara for engagement photos and on her wedding day. Cara was fantastic! In less then a month we had her photos from wedding day. Amazing! They are beautiful. Everyone that has seen them is so impressed. She took posed pictures and candid pictures all day. She captured the day beautifully.

    Cara made us feel super comfortable in front of the camera right from the beginning. She is easy going and makes you feel like you've known her for a long time. She knows the best places to take pictures in Raleigh. We loved where she picked for us to go for the engagement photos and the bridal party photos. It was a super hot day, but she knew exactly where to go to get shade. We got the family pictures we needed but also some really amazing candid shots. She's quick when she needs to be but always pays attention to details! We've gotten so many compliments for the pictures and can't recommend Cara enough!

    Cara and her team at f8 Photo Studios are absolutely incredible. My pictures came out better than I could have even dreamed. Not only is Cara a tremendously talented photographer, she is also funny, engaging, and personable. She helped to make the millions of photos fun - I didn't even notice my cheeks hurt from smiling until the next day! Don't hesitate - reach out to f8 today!

    Cara was wonderful during all of our wedding festivities! She did our engagement shoot, my bridals, and our wedding. I would highly recommend her! She has a great personality and is so easy to work with. She made taking a million pictures fun! Our pictures are wonderful and we have gotten so many compliments on what good quality our pictures are. Not only are they good quality she captured every special moment we shared on camera. Her talent is unmatched!

    It's not possible to overstate how much I appreciate Cara & Adrienne with f8! My wedding isn't until August, so I can't speak to the actual photos yet, but the amount of effort and support they've already put in completely warrants a 5 star review. I'd give them 10 stars, if that was an option. I have obsessively researched every vendor we're using and the pressure of making the right investment can be so stressful, but within a few minutes of talking to Cara I already felt so relieved, and as the planning process continues I have felt more and more confident that I made such a good choice! Cara mentioned early on that they want their clients to...
