Photography as Sacred Storytelling

Documenting the magic, the romance and everything in between.

With twenty years of wedding photography experience behind her, Carey has developed an editorial style for capturing the essence, rhythm and energy of every wedding she photographs. She sees herself as a channel for the magic swirling all around us.

“Carey’s photos are simply works of art.

She has the ability to create exquisite, photojournalistic images that are so full of emotion, the feeling of the moment simply leaps off the page.” — Jen & Ben

“It reminded me of Bernini’s idea of a ‘speaking likeness’

— the idea that capturing someone just as they’re about to speak, or when they’ve just spoken, reveals their character. You managed to capture the people we love most in the world truly being themselves, and I can’t thank you enough for that.” — Anne & Nick

“Not to be understated

is just how calming a presence Carey was to us on our wedding day. She can take two stressed humans and work her magic so they are having nothing but the best time ever (and feel like subjects of a Time magazine/Vogue cover story).” — Jen & Ben

“We are stunned by not just the moments you captured,

but the fantastic artistic style with which you did so.” — Claire & Jake
