    The absolute best

    Carrie is without a doubt the greatest. She is fun, energetic and a joy to have around. She captures your love, happiness and real relationship while making you look really good. I don’t have words to describe how much I love my album or how grateful I am for Carrie.

    Best wedding photographer!

    From the moment Carrie & I met, I knew it was meant to be. Carrie’s romantic & timeless aesthetic is what initially drew me to her work. Not only are we both Enneagram Type 6 & cat moms, we shared the same vision for what a wedding day should be. Love, family, faith, & fun. Throughout our wedding, Carrie was an integral part of the day. She was on time, facilitated family photos like a champ, & made sure to check-in with me to see how I was feeling. The rare time my new husband & I were alone, we took photos with just Carrie. This is one of my most cherished memories. Carrie made us feel beautiful, comfortable, & relaxed. During the reception, Carrie even helped prepare glow sticks for the dance floor - while this seems a minimal detail, it shows that she goes above & beyond the duties of a photographer.

    This is just the start of Carrie capturing precious moments my husband & I build together in this new chapter. If you are looking for a photographer, there should be no doubt in your mind to book Carrie!

    Highly Recommend Carrie!

    Carrie with SWAK photography was beyond amazing for our two wedding events. She was professional, helpful, and kind throughout our entire journey together. We did our engagement photos with her and fell in love with her style and awesome photography skills from the start. I would highly recommend choosing her services for your event! We will definitely be booking with her again for other events in our lives!

    Carrie is awesome!

    Carrie was so wonderful and easy to work with throughout the entire process - from booking her, to engagement photos, wedding day, and afterward. Not only was she amazing to work with, I could not be happier with the way my photos turned out - light, beautiful, creative, intimate. She didn't miss a beat at our wedding, and we are so grateful to have such beautiful documentation of our wedding day.

    An angel sent from the heavens.

    Carrie Smith is a literal angel sent from the heavens to bestow her gift upon us lowly earthlings. She is an incredible photographer with the most beautiful soul you've ever encountered. You almost feel unworthy until you jump in front of her camera. She sees everyone/thing through a lens of pure beauty and makes you feel as such in every moment she captures. If I had to go back and redo my entire wedding, I would book swak 100x's over. Best money I spent, by far. And now I have a life long friend.

    Timeless romantic photos I’ll love forever❤️

    The moment I saw Carrie’s light and airy photos on Instagram, I knew I wanted her unique style for our wedding. She is not just wonderfully talented, but Carrie runs her photography business with such seamless professionalism! Every email and question was answered promptly, and our pictures were back in no time at all. Carrie captured exactly what we were feeling on the best day of our lives. I’ll be forever grateful for choosing Swakphotograpy because she was able to create life long memories that we can look back in n every day❤️

    Carrie is the absolute best!!!!

    Carrie is AMAZING! She made us feel so comfortable during our engagement shoot. She's so personable and you can tell she really cares about making the experience special. Every picture she took was stunning and she was extremely fast about getting them back to us. I cant say enough great things! We love her!

    Captured our love beautifully!

    When I stumbled upon Carrie's instagram several years ago, I knew she was the one to photograph our engagement and wedding photos! She exceeded all my expectations and captured our love in the most beautiful way. I loved Carrie's creativity, light and natural photos. Not to mention she is just as amazing as her photos are! Due to the pandemic, we obviously had to make several changes and Carrie was a breeze to work with. So supportive, caring and willing to do whatever she could do make our day special. I could not recommend her enough.

    Swak Photography's reply:

    You guys are too sweet! :) Thank you so much for the kind words! I absolutely loved working with you and Isaac!

    Absolutely Amazing!

    We are so grateful for Carrie capturing our wedding day! She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and took the most beautiful pictures we could have imagined. On top of that, she is so kind, fun, and helpful! She got me a beer right after the ceremony before we started pictures, which made her even more amazing of a photographer than I thought she could be. She knew exactly what pictures we wanted to capture our wedding day. We could not be more happy!

    The Best Photographer in Tennessee, Hands Down

    Booking SWAK photography for our wedding day was hands down the best decision that we made towards our entire day. Having previously worked in the wedding industry myself and having worked with a number of various photographers, I can honestly say that SWAK is truly the best of the best. Carrie is personable, reliable, trustworthy, and is incredible at her gift. She has the most special way of making her clients feel comfortable and relaxed, no matter their comfort level in front of the camera. Her sessions are extremely organic and natural, and she captures the sweetest raw moments so well without ever making you feel too "posed". On our wedding day, Carrie did the best job at taking care of us. She made sure to every single one of our "must have" shots, and she managed to get through all of our family pictures with our giant and crazy families ON TIME and with so much patience and grace. My husband and I felt like her number one priority the whole day, and we honestly felt 0 stress about our wedding photos on the day-of. We knew that Carrie would take care of them with excellence. She even went above and beyond with the editting and produced the most beautiful wedding images we could have ever asked for. We have received so many compliments from people saying they are the most gorgeous wedding photos they have ever seen. Please book SWAK for all of your wedding-related needs, whether a styled shoot, wedding, or lifestyle session. You will not find anyone better in all of Tennessee, I promise.

    It was a dream come true to have Carrie shoot our wedding day.

    Carrie has been with us from the start. The day we met on a photo shoot, Carrie was there behind the camera to capture it.
    As the years went by, she photographed us numerous times -- once even shooting us in a beautifully styled wedding photo shoot (our families almost had heart attacks when we punked them by sending the photographs with no explanation!). Carrie told us "you know I'm going to be shooting you whenever you end up getting married for real!"
    Our stunning engagement session with Carrie was only a foretaste of how incredibly she would handle our wedding day. She's always made us feel natural and comfortable in front of the camera, allowing us to be in the moment, whether celebrating our engagement or our wedding.
    The day of the wedding was lovely. Carrie was there to capture quiet moments with both of us while we prepared for the ceremony. She wrangled our extended families like a champ and photographed us all wonderfully. Throughout the ceremony and the reception she was always just where you hoped she'd be to catch those fleeting, intimate moments.
    We couldn't be more grateful to an amazing friend and an incredible photographer for making our day one we'll always remember.

    Gorgeous photos, kind photographer... what more could you ask for?

    Carrie was absolutely a joy to work with. She was very laid back, yet I knew I could trust her to capture all the content she needed to commemorate my day. My family and friends loved working with her as well. Her editing style is stunning! A great choice for Nashville brides.

    We couldn't have done it without her!

    Carrie is an absolute gem, and we couldn't have done our wedding day without her! As a wedding photographer myself, I wanted to make sure that I used someone I could try and that would make our day beautiful, stress free, and fun. Carrie met all of that and beyond!! Would recommend her 1000 times over and will have her as our photographer throughout our lifetime haha!

    Carrie - the MVP of our wedding

    Do yourself a favor & hire Carrie! We cannot say thank you enough to her for capturing our engagement and our wedding day beautifully. The photos from our wedding are simply outstanding. She made us feel so comfortable and was such a joy to work with. Her attention to detail and investment in her work is unmatched. Picking a photographer was very difficult for my husband and I, but we would hire Carrie again without hesitation. Thank you, Carrie, for the stunning photos that will provide a lifetime of happy memories!

    Carrie was absolutely amazing to work with! She did our save the date and engagement shoot, rehearsal dinner, and wedding day, and she made every single one of those experiences wonderful. She was funny and personable and took time to get to know us and really make us comfortable so we could enjoy all those moments. Our pictures for each occasion were breathtaking. Hiring Carrie was easily one of the best decisions we made in our wedding planning process!

    Carrie does a wonderful job taking professional photography for any occasion. We had her take our engagement and wedding photos and they were all incredible! She is very easy to work with and makes taking sometimes "awkward" photos very easy. She is very personable and does a wonderful job. You will not be disappointed with your photos and the best part is, you get to keep the wonderful memories with you forever, which is indeed priceless! Thank you, Carrie for doing a wonderful job for us!

    I can't begin to fully explain how much I appreciate Carrie and the effort she put in to making my vow renewal ceremony perfect. She went beyond the call of duty to make sure we were happy and it was much appreciated. Very kind in communications and responsive. Couldn't ask for more.
