I'M CARMEN,
WEDDING
PHOTOGRAPHER

& professional hype-girl

Wife, dog-lover, confetti obsessed, brownie connoisseur.

I am also a lover of tacos, Jesus, and sunflowers. I snort when I laugh, strawberries are my favorite, and I sometimes cry when I eat really good food.

I am married to the love of my life, Brian, and he is the anchor to my kite, you know if kites had anchors. He is grounded, contemplative, and quiet while I am spontaneous, a day-dreamer, and talkative.

We live in North Texas with our two giant dogs, Duke (full name Duke Silver), a Great Dane, and Zoe, a black lab mix. They keep things lively and playful in our house, balanced out with a good dose of cuddles on the couch. …as much as a Great Dane can cuddle on a couch.

As a wedding and elopement photographer, I love getting to know my clients so I can tell their stories through fun, authentic, emotion-filled imagery. I always want to give my clients an unforgettable experience, and photos that beautifully capture who they are.

I specialize in warm, emotive portraits, and capturing candid moments.

I’m all about capturing the real you, and how y’all interact naturally together. Because to me, THOSE are the memories and moments you’ll want to remember forever.

Whether it is documenting your wedding day or 10 year anniversary, I work to capture the special moments that make your love beautiful and unique, just like you.

Things I love:

  • Trying new things and exploring new places

  • Sprinkles and confetti!

  • Reading in my comfy chair

  • Cheesy jokes

  • 90's music (N*SYNC was the best boy-band of the decade, and I'm not taking any arguments at this time)

  • Making ice-cream!

  • Walking and playing with the dogs

  • Sharing a little bit of everything when we go out to eat

  • Finding ways to make even the most basic things in life fun.

fun facts about me

  • Our friends often say Brian and I are Leslie Knope and Ron Swanson. ...they aren't wrong :)

  • One thing I always have in my cupboard is sprinkles, because they're so fun, and perfect for any dessert!

  • When Harry Met Sally is my favorite movie, and Brian actually quoted part of it when he proposed to me.

  • I pretty much live off of coffee and LaCroix

  • My hot take: *NSYNC is the best boy band

  • I cannot begin to tell you how much I love big parades. The whimsy, the excitement, the CONFETTI, the floats!! Thanksgiving morning is an especially exciting time for me.

  • I sing-talk a lot of my words, and usually have a random jingle or song lyric stuck in my head

“Everyone loved working with Carmen, I've gotten so much feedback from our family and friends who said she was so great at organizing everyone together and making everyone feel comfortable with poses. …she even helped me zip up my dress! I cannot gush enough about how happy I am to have chosen Carmen for our photographer. Her talent, her professionalism, her personality - she is a 10/10 photographer!”
