"Carter was such a joy to work with!!! When her bio says she will be your #1 hype girl, she is not kidding! "

First off, I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE! I'm Carter- an outgoing full-time destination wedding and elopement photographer based in Central Ohio, who’s had the privilege of working with hundreds of couples & will happily travel anywhere across the country to be your storyteller—documenting memories you’ll cherish for a lifetime! 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. 

From the first inquiry to the final gallery delivery, I am committed to creating an unforgettable experience for you. I believe that the best photos come from real, unscripted moments, and my goal is to make you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. Whether it’s sharing a laugh, shedding a tear, or simply being in the moment, I intend to capture all the intimate, authentic moments that encompass your story. My approach is personal and heartfelt, ensuring that your photos reflect the true essence of your relationship. Let’s embark on this journey together, creating timeless memories that you will cherish forever.

Hey friends, I'm Carter

Meet Your Photographer

My mission is simple: to capture the essence of your most cherished moments with authenticity, heart, and timeless elegance. I believe in photographing the raw, unscripted beauty of life—the laughs, the love, the in-between moments that tell the real story. Above all, I want to build a connection with you, because the best photographs come from trust and understanding. Whether it’s your wedding day, a milestone, or just because, my mission is to tell your story in the most authentic way possible.

Being in front of a camera can be a new territory, I strive to create an environment that allows you to be YOU. I take a laid-back, candid approach to photography. No stiff poses, no forced smiles—just real people being themselves. My goal is to make you feel comfortable and at ease so that I can capture the most natural and genuine moments. From the quiet glance between you and your partner to the contagious laughter from inside jokes, every moment is treated with the care it deserves. I’m there to document, not direct, letting the magic unfold on its own.

Clear, timely communication is my top priority— you’ll never be left waiting for a response for days on end. Organization and efficiency are at the heart of my process because I know wedding planning can be overwhelming. I strive to everything smooth and stress-free, allowing you to focus on what truly matters. I aim to create photographs that make you feel—photos that allow you to relive your most important moments and experience the same emotions every time you look at them.
