Carrie Wildes Photography Wedding Reviews

Romantic Bride and Groom Wedding Portrait | Lakeland Photographer Carrie Wildes Photography

Classic White and Gold Lakeland Wedding | Junior League Sorosis Building

We wanted bright and sharp pictures and did not want a rustic or edited feel to the photos.

As soon as we told our wedding planner what we wanted in a photographer, she told us about Carrie Wildes Photography. I looked her up and fell in love with her pictures. We loved working with Carrie!

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!

I looked at several different options. I picked Carrie Wildes Photography not just for her beautiful work, but also her reviews were great, and I loved how she connected with me from the start. She texted me and proactively sent video examples of her work, and I knew she’d be fun and easy to work with versus some of the emails and processes of other options. Also, her packages and the fact that the cost goes toward gallery credit is amazing. We happened to see wedding pictures on her site of someone I knew from the Junior League of Tampa. When I reached out, she had glowing feedback and said she still uses Carrie and her team for family pictures. I loved the idea of someone we could have an ongoing and special relationship with. We had a blast doing our engagement session and sincerely loved having her there! It felt just as if she was a guest, and with a much smaller wedding than planned you really notice everyone there, and Carrie brought a great presence.

Elegant Blush Pink and Ivory Downtown Tampa Wedding | The Tampa Club

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.

Elegant Sage Green and Gold Downtown St. Pete Wedding | NOVA 535

I looked through lots of photos and wanted ones that looked real and not over-edited. Also, our venue has more theatrical lighting, so I made sure to ask if photographers had shot there before.

I chose Carrie Wildes Photography after our first conversation. Carrie has worked with the owners of NOVA for over 10 years, so she was very familiar. She was very sweet, and I just felt a connection with her! She had a ton of experience with our venue, which made me feel confident. Carrie was amazing because the cost of her packages goes towards artwork that we now how hanging in our home, which was incredible!

We wanted someone creative with a fun, easy-going personality that we could be comfortable with and who would capture intimate personal moments.

When we interviewed Carrie Wildes Photography, we knew right away she was the photographer we wanted. Carrie and her assistant Linda made us feel comfortable and kept us smiling, and our pictures both on the beach and at the hotel were beautiful!

I wanted a photographer who could capture all the beauty in our wedding with solid reviews online and clean, but colorful pictures. I looked at maybe five other photographers and their galleries and reviews. Carrie Wildes Photography looked super talented from her gallery and reviews online, and Melissa from Isla Del Sol spoke highly of her as well! Carrie's gallery was the type of photos I liked, and she also had amazing reviews. I called her on the phone to get a feel for her, and I loved her instantly! I wanted someone who made me feel welcomed, answered any questions, and seemed easy to work with. I thought she was amazing.

Our personalities definitely show in our photos with Carrie. We both love to laugh and have fun and do not take life too seriously at all. We chose to have our pictures together on a sailboat, just us two and I think that was the main thing we did that really spoke to both of us and our personalities. It was a new adventure and because it was just us and Carrie; it was a good reminder that this wedding day is about us and to still make time for one another! I told Carrie when I met up with her the other day it made me sad that I don't get to see her as much anymore!

Holiday Inspired Green and Gold South Tampa Wedding | Palma Ceia Country Club

Honestly, every wedding photographer takes pretty great photographs but the advice I received from a friend was to make sure you mesh well with your photographer as you have to spend your whole day with them and when we met Carrie we knew she was the one! (and her photographs were great too).

We actually found Carrie through a referral from Andi Diamond. Andi Diamond photographed one of our friend's weddings and I thought her photographs were amazing but she was already booked the day of my wedding so she recommended Carrie! Carrie was amazing and we're so happy we ended up with her as our photographer.

The most important thing I looked for in a wedding photographer was someone who would work well with both Carl and I the day of the wedding and make taking pictures fun.

When I met with Carrie of Carrie Wildes Photography she was so kind and easy-going! I knew we would work well together come the day of the wedding. She was calm and organized and didn't push us to do anything we weren't comfortable doing. Our pictures looked natural and timeless. I would highly recommend her to any bride!

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!
