I didn’t have to look for much. I worked alongside Carrie Wildes Photography for several years as a photographer myself. I know Carrie’s style, and it has always been a good fit for what Chris and I were looking for. She’s fun and sociable and my family and friends also loved her!
I was absolutely honored to have Carrie shoot my wedding. Her service was beyond reproach and the photographs came out perfect.
The most important elements of my wedding were my photographer and videographer because they capture the moments that last a lifetime! I was looking for an immediate connection with our personalities and also someone who would capture my special moments with an eye for all the details. I believe it’s so important to feel comfortable and at ease with your photographer because you spend so much time with them throughout the whole wedding process!
When it came time to pick my photographer there was only one choice, Carrie Wildes Photography. Alongside saying yes to Benny on our cruise, it was the second easiest yes I said! From our very first meeting, I knew in my heart Carrie was the one. She had the immediate understanding of what I wanted captured, and she delivered that and so much more. She is also one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met, and it was an absolute joy to work with her!
When we began looking for a photographer, we wanted to find a team that not only produced great work but also was engaged and invested in what was most important to us and helping to capture this sweet memory that we can look back at for years to come. Carrie Wildes Photography went above and beyond during every step of the process, and has continued to assist us even post wedding as we navigate ordering prints and other items.
We looked for a professional wedding photographer who had experience taking photos at our wedding venue.
We chose Carrie Wildes Photography because they were a preferred vendor of The Tampa Club, and after meeting with Carrie we knew we had to book them! We were impressed with the responsive communication, Carrie’s personal approach, and the great reviews. She showed us examples of weddings they shot previously at The Tampa Club, which was so helpful. Carrie and Miriam were amazing to work with throughout the entire process.
Carrie Wildes Photography was one of the vendors that we noticed on Marry Me Tampa Bay. Carrie the first vendor that we booked after we booked our venue. We knew her work was amazing and did not want to miss out on her capturing our day.
Carrie’s pictures are stunning, and once we met her, we wanted to book her ASAP. Every person who has worked with her has nothing but the best things to say. We are in love with our pictures and appreciate the excellent service!
I needed someone with lots of patience who easily made us feel comfortable since we are so awkward with photos. I also wanted someone who has experience photographing large weddings since we were originally planning a 300 guest wedding.
The first day I met Carrie of Carrie Wildes Photography I knew she would be the perfect person to shoot our wedding. I had seen a lot of her work on the Marry Me Tampa Bay webpage, and she shot weddings of several people who I know who recommended her as well, and their photos spoke for themselves. She is so talented and is so easy to feel comfortable around. She is extremely efficient and was able to get through all of our family photos in the short amount of time we had at the church after the ceremony (We both have big families). She truly cares enough to make sure you will have all of the beautiful photos you deserve.
She does not get frazzled when things don’t go exactly as planned, i.e., the gust of wind blowing my veil off my head. She got the perfect shot of it while also managing to keep me calm. After the ceremony, I was really not feeling another photoshoot and just wanted to get our couple photos over with and eat something before our introductions. I’m so glad she talked me into taking our bridal party photos around Ybor; she knew that these would be ones that I would appreciate in the long run, and she was right! At the reception, either she or Joy were always right there for all the special moments and photo-ops without missing a beat. She also taught me how to use the cake-cutting tools before those photos. Cutting through wedding cake is not as easy as it looks. Aside from her work, she is just an amazing person all-around and made this stressful process so much easier and enjoyable.
I wanted a photographer with solid reviews online and with clean, but colorful pictures. I looked at maybe five other photographers and I just looked through their gallery and their reviews. Carrie Wildes’ gallery was the type of photos I liked, but she also had amazing reviews. I called her on the phone to get a feel for her and I loved her instantly! Once again with any vendor I wanted it to be someone who made me feel welcomed and answered any questions and seem easy to work with!
Carrie looked super talented from her gallery and reviews online and Melissa from Isla Del sol spoke highly of her as well! I thought she was AMAZING. I told her when I met up with her the other day it made me sad that I don’t get to see her as much anymore!
We wanted someone who captured the natural beauty and authentic spirit of the day. We wanted the photographers to make us feel comfortable and like ourselves in front of the camera. Carrie Wildes came highly recommended by my sister, Angel. Her work blew me away and the experience of working with Carrie, you truly can’t a price tag on. The artwork experience and printing credit you get with Carrie is unique to her services by far!
“We wanted the best. While each vendor plays an important role the day of, the photos are the only physical mementos we will have down the road. Carrie of Carrie Wildes Photography is just so fantastic. In every regard, you can just tell she knows what she’s doing. From posing and separating the families, her excitement at experimenting with different shots and of course the finished product. We cannot speak highly enough of her services!”
Our photographer, Carrie, of Carrie Wildes Photography, is a dear family friend and a wonderful photographer. Through her many contacts in the Tampa wedding industry, she connected us with a number of excellent vendors.

Carrie of Carrie Wildes Photography is just so fantastic. In every regard, you can just tell she knows what she’s doing. From posing and separating the families, her excitement at experimenting with different shots (specifically the sparklers) and of course the finished product. We cannot speak highly enough of her services!
When it came to a photographer, we were told that this is where we shouldn’t cut corners. We wanted someone with a great reputation and someone we could completely trust to truly capture our big day! We had heard wonderful things about Carrie Wildes Photography, and a lot of people from my home church had spoken very highly of her as well. After our first phone call with her and connecting right away, we knew we wanted to hire her!
Carrie Wildes Photography all the way! I told her she was making my wedding photographer dreams come true when she said she would do my wedding. Her pictures are just always so full of light and life, and that’s what I wanted our day to be remembered as. Carrie was my number one choice. I work in the wedding industry, and I’ve always really respected Carrie and the way that she does business; she’s the real deal! She really listened to what we wanted and delivered above and beyond what we were expecting. I remember when we talked about having a consultation, I told Alan, “Ok, I’m going to this consultation and don’t be surprised when I come home crying because I can’t have Carrie. I’ll get through it.” Little did I know she would be available and make a package specifically fit for my needs
Austin’s mom was familiar with Carrie Wildes Photography and suggested we look into her. We were more than pleased with the services we received from Carrie. Not only was she professional but she cared and listened too. The photos she took of us, our families, and of the whole night will be some of my favorite memories forever. She certainly went above and beyond what we were hoping for. Since our move to Japan, Carrie worked around a whole different time change just to ensure we got our album and prints in a timely manner
We wanted a photographer who could capture our style and was easy to work with. We also really appreciate a good candid, so that was important as well! We were lucky. Right after we got engaged Carrie Wildes Photography held a contest for an engagement photo session, and we were selected as winners. It was almost fate because we later realized that Carrie had also shot Bob’s sister and brother-in-law’s wedding a few years prior. Carrie is a breeze to work with and her photographs speak for themselves. Hiring her was a no-brainer!
When we were selecting a wedding photographer, the quality of past wedding pictures and communication with the photographer were the most important qualities. Carrie, the owner of Carrie Wildes Photography, was warm and passionate about covering our wedding. Her pictures were beautiful with much thought put into every shot!
