"WOW! Carlyn is amazing at what she does! I discovered Carlyn’s social media while looking for someone to shoot some engagement photos for us. When I saw her work, I knew I couldn’t pass it up. She was super professional and easy to work with. She did a great job during the shoot posing and directing us. When we received our photos back we were blown away. We love them more than we ever thought possible! Carlyn was so kind, knowledgeable, and professional. We had such a great experience working with Carlyn!

It’s about a snapshot in time ——those photos that allow you to hold a feeling in your hands.
It’s about a snapshot in time ——
those photos that allow you to hold a feeling in your hands.
In the words of Henry David Thoreau, “It’s not about what you look at. It’s what you see.” I believe in photographing those little things you might not even notice that capture your flow and your energy. The in-between moments, glances, crinkle-eye smiles, booty grabs, goosebumps. There’s nothing more beautiful and fascinating to me than the pure joy, excitement, and comfort of two people wildly in love.

Cue the music, pop a bottle, go exploring, dance in the desert, get comfortable, do your thang. We’ll provide prompts to help you get comfortable (no need to worry about what to do with your hands), but mostly we’ll just hang out and let the magic happen.
It’s not just about the day you show up for photos. We’ll start working together from day one to provide insights, resources, location ideas, planning tips, and timelines so that when you get to your wedding or session date, you’ll get to live fully in the moment.
details
All high-res images will be delivered in an online gallery— for a wedding, a minimum of 50 edited images are guaranteed per hour booked. For sessions, the amount of deliverables are stated in the guide. Sessions are delivered in 3 weeks and weddings/elopements are delivered in 6-8 weeks.
HOW/when DO WE GET OUR IMAGES AND HOW MANY?
I will never abandon you! If something horrible happens like Covid or an unexpected hospitalization then you are guaranteed a replacement as good as me! I will have the associate photographer shoot the wedding and I will edit the gallery so that your images will be consistent with my style.
What happens if you get sick?
If you are booking me outside of my Washington range then travel costs will be added on top of your chosen package (excluding the weekender package). Travel costs include (if needed) a roundtrip flight, transportation, and hotel accommodations. To make it easy on you, I will arrange all accommodations around 3 months before your wedding; doing this keeps cost as low as possible. Average travel cost in the U.S. ranges from $800-1,500. For road trips I charge $1 per mile after 80 miles.
HOW MUCH IS TRAVEL?
If you are getting ready in separate locations/have more than 150 guests, then a second or extra shooter is a must have. It is also good for double the angles and double the views. A second shooter is ideal for clients who choose not having a first look because the second shooter can photograph cocktail hour while I capture the post-ceremony portraits like family photos, full wedding party, and more.
Why would I need a second or extra shooter?
Film photography, in its simplest form, is the art of taking photographs on thin, transparent strips of plastic we call film. Film photography is often more intentional with every shot since you can't review your photo immediately after you take it. Film photography, to me, gives a feeling you can't get with digital! It feels nostalgic + the little imperfections it can have just add to the story even more. The way it captures light is different than with digital and is truly magical when used in wedding photography.
