BEAU & MARGARET
Carolynn was a joy to work with and was our first call after picking a date. Her eye for detail and easy nature made her our first and only choice. Carolynn allowed us to have confidence that our wedding day was being captured down to the most intimate moment. She kept us calm, smiling, and enjoying even the awkward moments. Carolynn made sure to embrace even our random pose ideas and made them our favorites shots of the wedding…down to helping us hop on the bartop. We couldn’t have imagined our wedding pictures coming out any more fabulous and are so excited to have Carolynn capture every special moment of our lives to come.

WILL & CHRISTY
I chose Carolynn as my wedding photographer because her photos look so bright and happy. She has the sweetest and most calming personality that made me feel totally relaxed during photos. She made it easy to be photographed and was discreet during those special moments with our family and friends. I planned my wedding in only about 6 months, and she was very accommodating and worked with my schedule to get my bridal portraits photographed and printed in time for the wedding. She was very professional, always prepared, and knew exactly what shots she needed to capture in the short time period between the ceremony and reception. I absolutely loved working with Carolynn and can’t wait to come back for family pictures one day!
Carolynn caught all of the laughs, happy tears, dance moves, and sweet moments between myself and my new husband. As someone who typically feels awkward in front of a camera, Carolynn helped me naturally pose and move to capture amazing photos. From getting ready in the morning to send off at the end of the night, Carolynn captured all of the important moments of my wedding, delivered in the best way and I couldn’t be more thankful that I chose her as my photographer!

JODY OF ARBOR FILMS
My ultimate goal in creating wedding films is to capture couples naturally without forced or uncomfortable posing. Working alongside Carolynn is a pure delight, she makes every wedding day feel more magical and I wish she was the photographer for every wedding I film. She has a natural ability to set couples as ease, even couples who hate being in front of cameras. Her heart for investing into couple’s through her incredible photography is seen in both small and big acts, from serving the bride to providing couples with a safe place to be themselves. I am such a huge fan of Carolynn’s work that I even asked her capture my own engagement, which are to this day my wife and I’s most treasured photos. The single best decision you can make on your wedding day, other than saying “I do”, is to guarantee you will be able to remember your day in only the way that Carolynn can capture.

JOSH & BRIDGET
Having Carolynn (& Preston) photograph our wedding was no question for us! After seeing their work for several years, I knew that as soon as I got married, I wanted Carolynn to capture our special day. In addition to the stunning photos she took, her presence that day was incredible. She does an amazing job of capturing every detail, but never feeling rushed or stressed. Having her alongside of us gave us an overwhelming sense of peace. I would recommend Carolynn to any and every bride looking for a photographer. You won’t regret it!

JEFFERY & SYDNEY
As a fellow creative, I knew photos would be a huge decision for me! I carefully chose Carolynn because I knew she had the abundant talent to capture all the details of my wedding, and FILM she shoots in film and that gives me all the feels!
I loved her demeanor. She was so calm and easy going and she even got soaked taking photos of my day in the magical drizzle/muggy weather that so perfectly describes our dear Louisiana.
I love the images of the second line capturing all the FUN and spirit of both Jeffery and myself. Her delivery of our photos and the video with music choices that were perfect, it was a magical moment even Jeffery teared up when we watched the video of our pictures for the first time!
I would say to spend some time speaking with Carolynn and talking to her about your vision for the day and also trusting her to do her thing and let her be creative and take some liberties because she is so wonderfully talented she will thrive capturing your day. She is such a lovely person and it exudes from her being and her art.

MIKE & ASHLEY
Carolynn photographed one of my best friend’s weddings and my friend raved about how great Carolynn was to work with, how easy she made everything, and her beautiful work. As soon as I knew my wedding date I reached out to Carolynn and never looked back, from the first communications she was a joy! We had to reschedule a few shoots due to COVID and Carolynn was accommodating and thoughtful, helping choose locations and making sure we chose the best times of day for light each time we rescheduled. Carolynn quickly felt like a friend and her passion, thoughtfulness, and flexibility made every step of the process with her enjoyable. She helped me make decisions and answered my questions, really went above and beyond to make sure I got the photos I wanted of my wedding. And I did! Her photographs of my wedding day completely blew my husband and I away. She took the time to get to know us and captured little glances and sweet moments, photos of us “being us”, which are some of our favorites. Carolynn exceeded any expectation I had about a wedding photographer, not only with her talent but with her kindness and friendship. If you want your wedding photographs to truly capture the emotion and feel of the day you need a photographer that will get to know you and shoot with thoughtful consideration, you need Carolynn.

EDWARD & ABIGAIL
I can not speak highly enough about hiring Carolynn as my wedding photographer. I was a covid bride and with that came lots of challenges and Carolynn was so flexible and easy to work with- even when I changed my wedding date 3 times. I eventually decided to do a Halloween Costume Wedding which was very untraditional yet Carolynn made my vision come to life through her pictures. She made me feel so comfortable and beautiful even in my non-traditional wedding dress. One of my favorite things about Carolynn’s work is that she shoots in film -her work in film is stunning and totally captured the theme and vibe of my wedding day. I can now look back at the pictures (framed in my home!) and remember such a truly special and fun day. She is truly a dream to work with.
