    Amazing wedding photography!

    Carlee was great to work with. She had a very detailed information packet with an example timeline to reference. She always got back to us quickly and was very organized. On our wedding day she made us feel very comfortable and kept the timeline going and got our long list of family photos done quickly! She got our photos done quickly and we loved them!! Highly recommend milk and thistle, we were really happy!

    Carlee is incredible!

    I am still speechless and in awe when I look at our wedding photos - Carlee made us look like we should be in a magazine and was just the most fun to be around. She is communicative, easy going and so professional. My now husband is a photographer himself and had the most respect for and fun with throughout the process. We loved getting to know her through our engagement photoshoot (part of the photo package we purchased) and made the day of so seamless and fun knowing her better and that we were in the best hands on the biggest day of our lives. To top it off, she delivered us 1,500 photos within a couple weeks of our wedding - a day I spent staring at the magic that she captured for hours and sobbed tears of joy re-living in the most incredible and fun ways. Highly recommend Carlee for any wedding, engagement or family photos - she is the absolute best and most talented around and we are so lucky to have had her capture our day!

    Pure magic!

    Choosing Carlee was easily one of the best decisions we made! She is amazing, and the pictures are incredible! She makes you feel so comfortable behind the camera, and the pictures were actually fun to take! Can't wait to book her in the future!!

    Photos and Experience were amazing!!

    I had my eye on her work for a long time (even before we got engaged) and when I got to book her it was a dream come true. My dreams actually came true when I saw the pictures and they exceeded my expectations! Not only were the images amazing but during she made us feel comfortable and relaxed despite our awkwardness once a camera comes out!
    I cried when I saw them!

    Best photographer in the world.

    We had the honor of having Carlee, with Milk and Thistle, as our wedding photographer and she blew us away. Her natural skill and art is so apparent when she is in your presence, as well as once you see her beautiful work displayed after. I knew she was going to make our day even more perfect and I had to have her! So thankful we did because from the beginning she was more than just a photographer, her endless support, guidance, and advice helped us through the stressful planning and organizing. Her friendly professionalism helped us relax and feel at ease the whole entire time. From engagement photos to our wedding day it couldn’t have gone any better. If you are thinking about booking, do yourself a favor, and DO IT!!! You won’t be disappointed. Just take a look at her work and you will know. Best decision we ever made! Can’t thank Carlee enough!

    Beach Elopement Photographer

    Carlee, the beautiful face of Milk & Thistle, is everything we wanted and more. She’s flexible, patient, caring, so sweet and has an eye like no other! She makes you feel at ease and it shows in her shots. I happened upon her photography by a mutual friend on Instagram just as we decided we wanted to have a beach elopement just 2 weeks later. Even through her professional emails, I could tell I was going to love her. She drove 3 hours to meet us at our location and was able to create a photo package specifically for our needs. The big day she arrived with such a welcoming and warm personality that it felt like she was already a close friend. I can’t even do her justice by words, she is amazing and I would hire her again in a heartbeat! I would recommend her so highly for anyone and I still get compliments to this day and everyone asking for her info or telling me not to lose her number!!

    Our dream photographer

    Carlee was a dream to work with! She shot our mountain-top elopement, and despite less than ideal weather conditions, she made it work and our photos turned out beautifully. She is so easy going and effortlessly eased us of the pressure involved in posing for photos.

    Wedding photographer

    Carlee and her team at Milk & Thistle are incredible! From the moment we reached out to her inquiring about being our wedding photographer she has been professional, reassuring, kind, and helpful. On the day of our wedding she created such a natural and comfortable environment for taking our photos which allowed for stunning photos that still expressed our personalities. She wrangled in the groomsmen for stellar photos (major props there because they are a rowdy group). All in all the vision of Milk & Thistle is exactly what we wanted for our wedding and we definitely 100% recommend them for yours as well!! They put in so much time, effort, and quality work into their photography and the final out come. You will not regret hiring Milk & Thistle!!

    Worth $1,000,000

    The most incredible experience of my life! (Besides our Wedding). Carlee is the best wedding photographer I have ever seen. Every photo she sent us is a perfect photo. She was able to capture every moment... every real moment, which was very important to me. Every time I look at our photos it takes me back to the best day of our lives. She is worth every penny if not 10 times over. If you are still deciding who you want to capture your day.... stop right here; you found her!!!!

    Carlee is who you NEED for your wedding day!

    Carlee (& the Milk And Thistle Team) made my wedding day so wonderful! Without them I wouldn't be able to relive all of the beautiful moments I missed during the craziness on the day-of. She makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera with her 'easy to be around' personality & her photo skills are off the charts! LOVE all of my photos :)
    Thank you, Carlee!
    You really are my favorite & I'm blessed to have found you as my Photographer!!

    Carlee was awesome on our big day! Not only is she super talented, she is super professional! She took all the shots we asked for and made us feel at ease and that she had everything under control. She was on top of everything and was around taking shots of all the big moments as well as little details. Thank you again Carlee for everything!

    The aesthetic eye of Milk and Thistle is difficult to overstate. They are able to capture instances that are usually reserved for memory, it is this ability that sets them apart. Principal photographer, Carlee, asked us early on what sort of look we were going for and provided us with an impressive portfolio on her website. She looked up the venue independent of us asking her to and drew inspiration from the environment provided. Carlee coordinated all of the fine details we needed to document the wedding and made sure to not miss any important moments. Carlee and her second shooter, Heidi, captured hundreds of amazing photos that we were able to use and share with family and friends. Carlee was patient and humorous, which led to my wife and I being completely comfortable for the private shoots and everyone else being comfortable for the public shoots. Last, Milk and Thistle is flexible, organized and extremely easy to work with. To illustrate their flexibility, Carlee asked us if there were any last minute shots that we wanted to take and she helped direct over ninety people into a shot and captured the spirit of the wedding in one group shot. I would work with them again.

    Carly was amazing at making us feel comfortable in a very foreign situation. Our photos came out better than I ever expected, she made us both look like models. I felt so confident on our wedding day that she would capture all the special moments. We also got our photos back so quickly, I was amazed. She truly gave us photos that I will treasure forever!
