Hi! I'M CARMEN,
WEDDING
PHOTOGRAPHER
& professional hype-girl
I love slow mornings and fresh coffee, bouquets of sunflowers, and am a firm believer that the best moments are the ones you don’t plan.
COMFORT THAT unlocks THE CANDID
I know what you’re secretly worrying about:
“What if I look awkward?”
“What if the photos feel staged or trendy?”
“What if this huge investment doesn’t feel worth it?”
Trust me, I get it. And I’ve built my entire approach to make sure you never have to carry those fears on your wedding day.
My Comfort-First Experience is designed to help you feel safe, celebrated, and fully yourself.
I’m not just clicking a camera; I’m creating an environment where you can laugh, breathe, and be totally present. The result? Photos that look beautiful, and feel true.
If you’re here, chances are you’re looking for more than “just pictures.” You’re craving photos that actually feel like you: unposed, timeless, and full of the kind of joy you’ll want to bottle up forever.
That’s where I come in.
a little about me
I am married to the love of my life, Brian, and he is the anchor to my kite (ya know, if kites had anchors). We are the couple everyone’s talking about when they say “opposites attract;” and it totally works for us. He is my rock, and I am his sparkle.
We live in North Texas with our two giant, lovable dogs: Duke and Zoe. They keep things lively and playful in our house, with a good dose of cuddling on the couch …as much as a Great Dane can cuddle on a couch.
When I’m not photographing love stories, you’ll probably find me:
sipping coffee on my porch with a good book,
dancing in my kitchen to 2000s throwbacks, or
booking my next trip to somewhere with good food and even better sunsets.
I’m equal parts sentimental and goofy. I’ll totally cry during your vows, and then crack a joke during your portraits to make you laugh. I believe your photos should hold both: the sacred and the playful, because that’s real love.
Things I love:
Trying new things and exploring new places
Sprinkles and confetti!
Reading in my comfy chair
90's music (N*SYNC was the best boy-band, and I'm not taking any arguments at this time)
Baking, or making ice-cream
Walking and playing with the dogs
Sharing a little bit of everything when Brian and I go out to eat
Finding ways to make even the most basic things in life fun.
a peek into my life
Wedding Photography – Full-day coverage focused on presence over perfection.
Elopements – Intimate storytelling for the road-less-traveled celebrations.
