Will Carl photograph our wedding?
If you’d love to work with Carl, the Signature Collection is the one to explore. His calendar fills quickly, so we encourage you to reach out early with your date and venue—we’ll be happy to check his availability.
If Carl is already booked, or you’re exploring a different collection, you can also work with one of our experienced Senior or Associate Photographers. Premier features a Senior Photographer, while Classic features an Associate Photographer. We’ll walk you through the options so you can choose someone whose work you connect with.
How would you describe your style?
Storytelling with fine-art and fashion influences: genuine emotion, thoughtful composition, creative light, and rich color. Timeless photographs with a personal sense of style.
We’re not used to being photographed. Where do we start?
Start by being yourselves—we’ll guide you with natural posing and gentle direction. An engagement session is a lovely way to get comfortable together before the wedding.
Do you offer videography?
Yes. We offer photo + film collections so you can remember your celebration in both photographs and motion. Tell us what you’re envisioning, and we’ll help you explore the options.
