First off, I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE! I'm Carter- Founder and CEO of Carter Teal Photography! I'm a full-time destination wedding and elopement photographer based in Central Ohio! In addition to being a business owner, I’m also a dog mom to a two year-old boxer puppy named Macie, recently married to my best friend in the summer of 2024, and wrapping up my fifth year at The Ohio State University pursuing my Bachelor's of Science in Design as a Visual Communication Designer.
I’m an outgoing photographer who’s had the privilege of working with hundreds of couples & will happily travel anywhere across the country to be your storyteller—documenting moments filled with emotion and connection—memories you’ll cherish for a lifetime. If you’re a lover of Disney movies, home projects, bike rides on a sunny day, always up for an adventure ("do it for the plot" kinda vibes), you’re in the right place! I truly enjoy getting to know about each of my couples to showcase their relationships in its true, genuine form. My goal is to capture all the heartfelt, real moments that make up your story.
