Weddings & Elopements

Wedding coverage is designed around how your day unfolds rather than a fixed hourly structure. Some celebrations only need a focused portion of the day documented, while others include multiple locations or events across the day, or even a weekend. Most couples invest between $6,500–$9,500 for full-day coverage, depending on location, guest count, and the overall scope of events. Shorter coverage options begin at $5,000. Extended coverage and multi-day wedding weekends are customized based on the scope of events.

All wedding collections include collaborative planning support and timeline guidance so you feel confident and present throughout the day, not rushed or overly structured. After you inquire, I’ll help you think through timing and recommend the level of coverage that best supports how you want to experience your wedding.

Simple Ceremonies

For celebrations consisting of a ceremony and portraits at a single location only, coverage begins at $3,000. This option is intended for courthouse ceremonies and very small gatherings without reception coverage or multiple locations. If your plans include getting ready, a reception, or extended timeline coverage, the wedding collections will be the best fit.

Couple + Engagement Sessions

Sessions start at $1500 and include 1 hour of coverage, outfit guidance, and a gallery of high-resolution images. Travel fees may apply for locations outside Southern California.

“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.”

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!
