The colorful Carla Ten Eyck lives with her husband of 12 years- and studio production manager!- Dave and their totally great kids Jack and Georgie in Hartford, CT.
Carla has been joyfully photographing weddings for the past nine years all over the New England area and beyond. She received her BFA in photojournalism from the prestigious Rochester Institute of Technology in 1995. Her photojournalism field work includes interning at The Hartford Courant, The Rochester Democrat and Chronicle / Times Union and The Associated Press in New York City. Carla’s segue into documenting weddings was natural and combined her best skill sets of photographing people, moments and emotions with style, beauty and a sense of humor. Carla also has amazing crowd control skills! Maybe being one of nine children helped with that??
With three associate photographers and a team of amazing support staff, Carla runs her bustling studio out of her renovated childhood home in Hartford’s historic West End.
In addition to photographing weddings, for almost four years Carla has been teaching photographers to step outside of their comfort zones and grow as artists in monthly photography workshops called Ten Eyck Tuesdays. There they can focus on a variety of classes that Carla enjoys teaching- from Back to Basics to Posing to Lighting to the behind the scenes business aspect of running a successful wedding photography business.
Carla has been honored to be a speaker at Pictage’s Partner Con in New Orleans in 2010; and Inspire Boston for 2010, 2011 and 2012, and at the CT Professional Photography’s (CTPPA’s) yearly convention in 2009.
Her ability to teach and inspire is evidenced by her consistently packed workshops and speaking engagements as well as a successful and loyal student-base.
Carla enthusiastically breathes energy, excitement and fun into everything she does from turning ideas into reality; to shooting in new locations around the globe and to simple things like snuggling with her kids and hiding in the studio trying to scare her employees.
