    Wow! I can't express into words how amazing Sean is- as a person & as a photographer. My family, fiancé, friends, and I can't stop looking at our engagement pictures. They are beyond my wildest dreams. Sean took so much time with us making sure he took every "photo-fantasy" I had. All around amazing experience + outstanding price.

    AMAZING. Sean is an incredibly hardworking, professional, and detail oriented individual and probably the best in the gig! After extensively researching many photographers & locations, we flew in from Florida to hire him for an exhaustive (and EPIC) two day engagement photo shoot at three of the Washington's most photographic locations: Diablo Lake, Rattlesnake Ledge, & Snoqualmie Falls. He went above and beyond on our photo shoot in every way & his commitment to excellence was demonstrated in both his work & character. Due to just plain bad luck, we had severe & unexpected wildfires during the shoot which threw a wrench in our original plans & made shooting more tricky for him, but he still managed to rock it. The photos came out stunning, and are truly a piece of art. He is open to ideas and mindful of your desires because he really wants to make sure you are happy and get what you want. And I do not say this lightly, since I was very particular about color tone, background, and feel. He replied timely to all conversations, answers all of our questions/concerns, & sent us a contract outlining details. His communication speed is seriously among the best in any business. I really learned the caliber of professional Sean was when I accidentally sent him 10x the deposit (5x the total cost of the shoot itself!), and he contacted Venmo that same night to have the issue corrected. Before our scheduled time, Sean had researched each of the areas to locate photographic points and how to best access them. He also provided his advice regarding lighting/suggested shooting times, angles, filter, etc. to achieve the look we wanted. During the shooting, he was very laid back, yet directed us enough to help us look our best, and made sure we were comfortable the entire time. He also consulted us for our preference, and shot many different angles so we would have ample choices. All in all, we are in love with our photos and had a great time with him. 6/5 STARS!

    Sean is amazing! While my husband did most of the coordinating with him, we both could not be happier with him and his photos. We loved meeting up with him before the wedding - it definitely put us at ease after having a chance to meet with him and just hang out. He is nice, kind and cares a lot of about the work he does. Our photos are beyond beautiful and we felt like we relived the entire day while looking through them. He was able to capture our personalities and those of our guests. I would highly recommend him and we hope we have an excuse to book him again!

    I have been modeling for a very long time . That being said I have worked with an extensive amounts of photographers, some of which specialize in weddings. Sean Carr takes the cake . Not only have I received more images then I have a from just about any photographer, he also provided me with these amazing high-quality edited images in just about no time.

    My partner is not a model and like just about everyone for their first shoot was nervous. Sean was amazing and made it seem like we were all just hanging out which heavily aided in producing images that truly captured our love for each other . It was enjoyable, laid-back, and do I dare even say fun? Although we did not see the Lockness monster or Sasquatch at our beach couple shoot...

    These photos as I said not just captured our love for each other but has provided us with lifelong mementos for us and our family . It takes a lot to pick a photographer that you're going to use for your special day and picking anyone besides Sean Carr would be doing yourself a disservice . The way he utilizes natural lighting and captures the beauty of not just the subjects but the people around you and their surroundings is truly something special .

    Sean has been a great friend so there was no second guessing that we would use him for our engagement and wedding photos. He was also very responsive to things we suggested as well as our wants and needs as far as location and even poses. Plus, he made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Not to mention, the finished photos were simply amazing!

    Sean is an awesome photographer. He is very professional and personable. One of our main concerns with hiring someone to shoot our wedding was whether or not they would be obtrusive during the ceremony and reception - we did not want the clicking of the camera and a crew up in the scene being a distraction. Once our formal and family pictures were done and the wedding started, I didn't even notice Sean or his crew AT ALL. He was so stealthy that I actually forgot about him. It is sort of weird to write a review stating that someone did a great job at not being noticed, but it is part of the art of being a wedding photographer. That being said, although I didn't notice him, when we got our pictures back they were beautiful, and provided full proof that he was indeed there :), taking great pictures of everything and capturing some really touching moments.

    Sean was amazing and I would recommend him to anyone. He always got back to us promptly, with any questions before the wedding, and even several months afterward.
    He is extremely easy to work with. Our pictures are beautiful and I couldn't have asked for anything more from a photographer.

    Sean did a great job photographing our wedding. I was beyond excited with all the pictures and there was nothing that I thought he missed! A lot of guests even commented on how great and professional he was. I also thought that he went way above and beyond his job; while snapping away pictures of me and my bridesmaid getting ready, he communicated with my other vendors to make sure everything was running smoothly so that I was never stressed about a thing! I would highly recommend Sean Carr to anyone looking for a great photographer!!

    Hi Sean thank you so much for the beautiful photos you took of our wedding day. You captured some very special moments that Carlos & I will treasure forever. You are the best.

    Sean Carr Photography's reply:

    Thanks for the kind words Miriam! It was great to be able to photographer a wedding in Guatemala and then come back and photograph a Guatemalan couple in the United States! What are the odds! You and Carlos were awesome to work with and I wish you both the very best!

    5 stars is the most you can give on the site, but Sean deserves a million. He was completely reliable, professional, hardworking, fun, and easy to work with, both leading up to the wedding and during our wedding week (he shot multiple events/days for us). Most importantly, he truly is an amazing photographer who really cares. His photos speak for themselves, but I have to say that the photos he did of our wedding were beautiful and unique, and we love that he took a variety of types of shots so our album is not thing over and over again. He also got the pictures to us super fast and he was really great to work with on the day of. The wedding day was at times chaotic and stressful, but Sean was completely trustworthy and helped put us at ease. He worked really hard to get great shots, but was never in the way or obtrusive. We feel very lucky to have had Sean shoot our wedding and would definitely hire him again in the future.

    Can't say enough about how much fun I had photographing your wedding in Antigua, Guatemala. You guys and your family rocked and the scenery wasn't too shabby either. Thanks again for choosing me!

    From the minute we met Sean it was like we were working with an old friend. He is so friendly and laid back but is professional and takes initiative. We hardly waited any time at all for our photos and are so happy with the final product.
    I've already recommended Sean to several friends for photography needs and I will most definitely use him again as well.

    Sean Carr Photography's reply:

    Thanks Janessa! Beaufort, SC was such a wonderful little town to photograph. Glad I was able to capture the beauty of your wedding and also make some good friends!

    Sean did a great job photographing our wedding! He was so flexible, he was constantly on the move and he got a ton of amazing shots! Also, we were on a budget so Sean worked with us and we really appreciated it. I would highly recommend him to anyone that's looking for a great photo-journalistic view of their special day.

    Sean was referred to me by a friend at work. It was the best referral I had. Trying to pick a photographer is very difficult becuase you want him/her to catch one of the most special days in your life. Sean was the perfect choice. He was able to to catch the whole "feel" of our day. The pictures are amazing and he even risked the safety of his camera to get the perfect shot for me! He was there for us for any shots we wanted, but I also felt very comfortable with any shot he wanted to take. We ended up with a portfolio of photos that we will always cherish. He was always responsive to my emails and alwyas professional, but you also feel like you have a friend photographing your wedding.

    Wedding planning is a bit overwhelming and stressfull, especially when you have to decide who is going to capture the special moments that you will have for your kids and grandkids. Luckily, my husband and I found out about Sean and were excited to have him capture these moments. His work is incredible and the icing on the cake is that he is extrememly easy to work with and responsive. He gets the double thumbs up from us!

    I didn't really have a clue about wedding photography so I just started to look at photographers' photos on their websites. Most were pretty mundane but there was something about Sean Carr's photos that just spoke to me. They were classic and fun but not cheesy. Sean is super easy to work with and is always quick to respond. He's just an all-around good person and you comfortable with him from the moment you meet/talk. We got our photos back within a month and they are wonderful. He also did my bridal portraits and they are all really lovely. I'm already trying to come up with more "life" events that we could use Sean for!

    Sean Carr was really great to work with! He was flexible when I wanted to get pictures the night before the wedding, had to change locations a week before the wedding, and worked around my other vendors perfectly. He even brought along a second shooter so they could both capture everything from different angles. Pictures turned out AMAZING! Way better than I expected. They were perfect. I would definitely recommend him for any big event! We had our wedding in the town he lives in, but he can travel anywhere!

    I got married in Bald Head Island, NC and found most photographer prices to be outrageous. I just wanted a few good photos. I came across Sean's website and immediately fell in love with his landscape photos. With less wedding experience, his cost was a fraction of the prices that I had seen. I thought he had some great wedding photos on his site so I took the chance and am SO glad I did! Sean was awesome! He was willing and open to any poses we had in mind and captured so many details I would have missed. The day went by so fast, I truly appreciate being able to go back and see the day unfold through his photos. It was a HUGE bonus to have such a fantastic landscape photographer at a beach wedding - and a dog lover! I have since referred him to a friend who also loved him and she has referred him on as well.

    Sean photographed our Wedding in Santa Barbara. An easy person to work with, we talked to him about what we wanted and he got all of shots without getting in the way. Everyone we show the pictures to loves them. He did great work and is highly recommended.

    Sean traveled for us as he does for many of his customers. Photo shots were different from other photographers, which was what we were looking for. Great personality. Worked with a package that fit our needs. Friends and family made several comments on how hard he worked that day, he was everywhere taking photos and they loved how he captured the day.

    Sean Carr Photography's reply:

    Traveling back home to New York to photograph never gets old. Especially when you have a beautiful backyard wedding like yours! I'm still waiting to take your husband up on that beer!
