Every detail matters when creating our imagery...
Our wedding photography services are designed to meet all of your needs from our phone consultation to the delivery of your final wedding gallery. Going above and beyond for our couples is our bottom line. We have spent hours cultivating an experience that provides our couples with hands-on guidance throughout the entire wedding planning journey. Our wedding galleries are our art and we want to immobilize all of the sweetest joys on your wedding through that art. We want to create a capsulated portfolio for you and your loved ones to cherish for all of the decades to come. Each image we create has a formula in mind to ensure the lighting is perfect, the composition is interesting, and that you love the way you look in every photo. We direct rather than pose to bring out your most authentic selves and edit in such a way to ensure each image contains a timeless and effortless view to it, such as to feel as though you are looking into the day itself, as though you are still there, when viewing your gallery.
Create and celebrate lifes biggest and most magical moments, with imagery that lasts a lifetime.

Engagement sessions can be scheduled as soon as you're officially booked. We have created a Wedding Welcome Guide that includes an engagement session questionnaire to help us create a customized session experience. We will assist you in selecting the location and picking the perfect outfits. Your engagement session should truly speak to you as a couple and is your "Chapter One" in your wedding gallery.

We send a "Photo Timeline Questionnaire" about two months from wedding date to start building your day-of timeline. Our timeline is used to supplement your planner/coordinator's master timeline with a breakdown of each photo segment throughout your day. Included will be all of your photo specific wants/needs for the day to make sure we are all on the same page and stay on track to ensure we capture every little moment.

"Caroline was a FANTASTIC photographer and a very kind soul. She was so helpful at our wedding, helping with things even outside of photography! Her photos are absolutely gorgeous, she is always ready to answer any questions you may have and the photo turn around time is great! My husband and I are not super comfortable in front of the camera but we didn't feel that way at all with Caroline. She kept everything moving smoothly and kept everything natural and genuine. It was perfect! I recommend Caroline to EVERYONE!"

Caroline is a dream of a photographer, from the time we met when I sent an inquiry, until the day she delivered our wedding album. She is kind, knowledgable, professional and so fun to be around. She calmed my nerves and was always there to lend her ear. I miss working so closely with her and I will always be a huge fan of hers. One of the top 3 most important things for my wedding day was having the best photographer and Caroline exceeded all of my expectations; even my family members commented on how awesome and talented she is. If you're looking for an amazing photographer for really any reason, please call upon Caroline Estes!
