wedding photography that is:

Your wedding photographs are about more than one image you share on social media. They’re about many tiny moments, all strung together to tell one epic story.
Every carefully curated choice you make, from what you wear to the space you choose to exchange your vows in, says something about who you are and what you value as a couple.

Within those choices lives YOUR story.

Maybe you held your vows in books that were meaningful to you ( this is something my wife and I did!) Maybe you served hot apple cider before your ceremony because it was your Nana’s favorite in the fall. Maybe you tucked your dad’s well-loved handkerchief into your pocket as a quiet homage. The loving looks on your best friends’ faces as they circle around you on the dance floor… all of it matters.
I understand this deeply, and I intentionally feature a wide range of weddings so you can see full, honest stories unfold, just as I see them on a wedding day.

Engagement sessions are an extension of that same storytelling.

 They’re a chance for us to slow things down,GET COMFORTABLE IN FRONT OF MY CAMERA  have a lot of fun, and create images that feel completely personal to you.

 Together, we’ll choose locations that reflect who you are, whether it's a meaningful place to you both, your favorite pizza joint or a park where you love walking your dog! We can get creative, explore different vibes, and make space for movement, laughter, and connection.
These sessions are relaxed, collaborative, and tailored to you, not a formula or a checklist. They’re about showing up as yourselves and letting your story begin to unfold long before the wedding day arrives.

I use my ears to hear your story and my eyes to show you what I am seeing

engagement sessions

An engagement session is so much more than photos for your save-the-dates or wedding website.
It’s a chance for us to slow down, explore meaningful locations together, and create images that reflect this season of your story. Whether we’re wandering through downtown Hartford, chasing golden light in an open field, visiting a favorite café, or choosing a space that feels deeply personal to you, the experience is relaxed, collaborative, and genuinely fun.
Most importantly, it gives you the chance to see how it feels to be in front of my camera before your wedding day.
You’ll learn my gentle guidance style, discover what feels natural for you as a couple, and walk into your celebration already feeling comfortable, confident, and fully yourselves.

My husband was very nervous about the whole photo process + Carla not only listened to our concerns but she made us feel comfortable + completely went above + beyond our expectations. She even changed my husband's negative opinion about wedding photos!
