Top 5 I have a deep love for people and their unique stories, which is why photography has always been my passion. I am dedicated to capturing the raw emotions, candid moments, and genuine interactions that make your love story truly special. When I am entrusted with the privilege of photographing a couple on one of the happiest days of their lives, it is a responsibility that I take with great joy. Watching a couple laugh together, the way they gaze into each other's eyes, and the electric energy between them is what drives my art. Your love story is a masterpiece, and it is an honor to document those intimate moments for you to keep forever.

Investing in Carmela was the best decision my partner and I could have made. We got married at the Ruin Venue in Joshua Tree this May, and she made sure we had everything we needed. She captures all of your special, authentic moments in a way I haven’t seen anywhere else. Carmela is so good and bringing you out of your shell in front of the camera, no matter how nervous or awkward you are! We had so much fun during our engagement shoot and during our wedding with her. She seriously caught every detail and all of the love, laughter, and excitement from our day. Plus, everyone at our wedding loved her. All of our friends kept asking how to convince her to come to Oregon and hangout with us. Throughout the process, Carmela was always responsive to our questions and excited to make our vision come to life. Our photos were so much better than we could have ever imagined—they are seriously art. Her kindness and sense of humor made our whole wedding process even more unforgettable. I can not recommend Carmela highly enough, she is seriously one of a kind. You get a bestie, hype woman, and photographer all in one! Thank you for everything Carmela!
Carmela was seriously THE BEST photographer we could’ve ever asked for! She did both our engagement and wedding photos and we were blown away with how comfortable she made us feel in front of the camera. She is the nicest human and it was such a pleasure to be able to work with her! Not to mention, her photos are truly beautiful and we literally loved them all! She was also SO helpful with wedding day timeline questions and she was so patient with me when I had a million questions for her! I truly could not recommend anybody more! Thank you Carmela!!
I don’t even know where to start with how amazing Carmela is as not only a photographer but also as a friend throughout the entire wedding process. The first time we spoke to Carmela on the phone prior to booking she truly radiated her excitement and kindness through the phone! We had no hesitation in booking her as our first vendor and we never ever questioned that decision! She made our engagement pictures so amazing and brought our vision to life so well!! She always was there to answer any questions that we had whether it was about our photos, recommendations, or just simply some validation. She made our wedding day the absolute best and everyone had nothing but amazing things to say about her! It was so nice to see such a familiar and kind face and we always knew that she understood our vision so well. She delivered our photos so fast and we seriously look at them every single day. My husband and I seriously can’t stop talking about how much we loved having Carmela as a part of our big day!! CAN’T RECOMMEND ENOUGH.
We are so thankful for you! You made us feel so comfortable and kept us laughing. You also took a bummer situation of me braking my foot the day before our engagement session and made it the most magical session. You saw my vision but made it better then I could imagine! You truly have a talent for this! She got sneak peeks within 24 hours!!!! Also her editing skills are. I broke my foot and had surgery a month before my wedding and she took my scars off my foot and she made my photos look amazing you can’t even tell I only was able to stand on 1 leg. She is amazing!!!! I can’t say that enough!!
We've had the pleasure of working with Carmela for several years now, and her photography never fails to amaze us. Her keen eye for detail and ability to capture the essence of every moment is truly remarkable. From our engagement photos to our wedding day, Carmela has been there to document our most cherished memories with elegance and grace. Her professionalism, creativity, and genuine passion for her craft shine through in every shot she takes. Carmela's warm and friendly demeanor makes every session a joy, and her ability to make us feel comfortable in front of the camera is truly remarkable. For our wedding videography, we entrusted Jacob from Sancho Weddings with capturing our special day, and we couldn't be happier with the result. Jacob's skillful videography perfectly complemented Carmela's photography, bringing our memories to life in a way that exceeded our expectations. His attention to detail, creative vision, and professionalism were evident throughout the entire process, and we're grateful to have had him as part of our team. If you're looking for a dynamic duo to capture your special moments, look no further than Carmela for photography and Jacob from Sancho Weddings for videography. Their talent, professionalism, and dedication to their craft make them an unbeatable team, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have had them document our most precious memories.
Carmela is a lovely human and amazing photographer!!! We are so glad we hired her to photograph our wedding day. She made us and our families feel super comfortable, and her warmth and great vibes were much appreciated! The photos are beautiful and she did an amazing job capturing our love. Thank you Carmela!!!
After having Carmela do both our engagement and wedding photos, there is no other way to describe her besides "true professional". We were blown away by both our engagement and wedding photos, and couldn't be happier with how they are turning out. Our pictures are not only perfect, but she is so fun to work with. Carmela will play your favorite music as she helps make the photography process natural and painless. We can't recommend Carmela enough! We love our pictures and feel that we have gained a new friend through the entire process.
