Artful & Intentional Documentation

For Your Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience

The day you get married shouldn’t feel like any ordinary day — and just because your guest list is small, doesn’t mean your celebration has to be. You deserve a wedding experience that honors the magnitude of your love and the significance of the commitment you’re making. You deserve to celebrate in a way that feels meaningful, exciting, and completely true to you.

Photography Packages & Pricing

I specialize in capturing intimate celebrations of love - whether it’s a private elopement for just the two of you or a small wedding with your closest people. While I don’t put a hard limit on the number of guests at the weddings I take on, I find that I work best with couples who prioritize their experience above all else and who want to honor their day with intentional documentation.

Custom quotes are provided based on the scope of your event, however all collections include digital galleries with high-resolution images, printing rights, a complimentary album design, and personalized location and timeline assistance.

She is so incredibly talented and was such a joy to work with. Carrie's communication was outstanding. Always prompt in her responses, she made sure to understand our vision and preferences. Her clear and friendly communication style made the planning process enjoyable and efficient. She guided us through every step, offering invaluable suggestions for locations, timing, and even connecting us with other reliable vendors. Her attention to detail ensured a seamless and stress-free day including help with location permits and liability insurance.

Carrie is truly exceptional. Her ability to capture the natural beauty of Big Sur and the intimate moments between us was nothing short of magical. The photos are not just images; they tell the story of our love in the most beautiful way. We are grateful to Carrie for turning our elopement into a day we will cherish forever. Thank you for your talent, professionalism, and genuine care.

“A 5 star scale doesn’t do Carrie justice.”
“A 5 star scale doesn’t do Carrie justice.”

By our wedding day, she felt more like family than our wedding photographer. Not only did she capture the day beautifully, she helped plan and curate a wedding beyond all of my wildest dreams. I found Carrie and her work on Pinterest well before getting engaged and she was one of the first people I reached out to once I was! I knew I wanted a small wedding/elopement but couldn’t decide where or when. After I saw her work in Big Sur I was hooked. Her location guides and attention to detail further solidified my decision to book with her as I saw the care and attention she puts into her profession. As a type A bride looking to plan the day, I felt a lot of overwhelm in getting all the little details right. After my first client call with Carrie, all of that stress went away. Not only was she beyond talented and knowledgeable, she was kind beyond measure. We bonded over our mutual love of our cats and all things outdoors and built a friendship leading up to our wedding day, which I think made all the difference. This was the first time my husband and I took professional pictures together so there were some nerves, but it felt so natural with Carrie. We were able to be authentic in our love and she captured it perfectly. She is truly a gem in this industry. If you are on the fence about booking, you won’t be disappointed. She’s even better than you think!

“Carrie made our elopement in Kauai, Hawaii so incredibly special.”
“Carrie made our elopement in Kauai, Hawaii so incredibly special.”

She is detail-oriented, experienced, and very well-prepared, which was apparent throughout the planning process and on our elopement day. She does extensive travel research and knows your situation down to the parking - which is so helpful when traveling somewhere new! She even completed our hike ahead of time to scope out the best places to capture our special day, I don’t think she could have done more for us! Carrie is so talented with such a kind heart and we felt so comfortable having her join us on our special day. We were completely blown away when we received our photos - she turns a casual moment into magic! She captured so many special moments and details of our day in such a beautiful way and we will treasure them forever. Her photos told the story of our day, the plants along our hike, the moon in the sky over the beach, dress details, all the small things that may fade from memory over time but now we get to keep forever. Our family and friends think our photos belong in a magazine! We feel like we truly made a friend in Carrie and we are so thankful for her. She is so incredibly talented and we 1000/10 recommend Carrie and hope to work with her again in the future!

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes! The two main areas I assist with during the planning process are location scouting/research and timeline building.

    I’m also happy to share vendor and accommodation recommendations and assist with permits when needed.

    I do not book any services on your behalf or do any day-of duties like setting up decor, managing guests and vendors, coordinating supply pickups, etc. If you’re looking for someone to manage those types of tasks, I can send over some amazing planner recommendations!

  • Yes, if you're having a larger wedding but resonate with my work and approach, please reach out! I'll provide a custom quote based on your wedding size and scope of plans.

  • No, the scope of work involved for elopements, no matter how simple, is much more significant than a regular photoshoot. Plus, your wedding day deserves so much more than that! You won't get the same experience or types of wedding photos you see in my portfolio in just an hour or two.

  • That’s okay! Narrowing down a specific location is something I help with during the process of working together. To book, all I require is a date for the contract and a general location or region (e.g. Big Sur, Northern Italy, Sedona, etc.).
