Best decision we made

Hiring Carolina was the best decision we made when planning our wedding. Carolina immediately made us feel comfortable and we got some incredible shots of us that we will cherish forever. On our wedding day, I felt great knowing that she was in control of making sure we got all of the shots we wanted while also not taking up too much time taking portraits. She delivered the photos to us sooner than we expected. We were completely blown away by the pictures. They are the perfect mix of candids, editorial, and classic wedding pictures.  Our pictures are romantic, warm, artistic, and unique. We already know we will hire Carolina in the future to capture other life events. If you are looking for an amazing photographer that will give you gorgeous pictures that stand out from everyone else's, look no further!

The photos were absolutely breathtaking

Carolina is incredibly talented and passionate photographer and it sure does show!  Everything from the moment we initially inquired with her through to the delivery of our gallery was absolutely seamless.  On our actual wedding day she was a pleasure to work with.  Everything she did was organized and well put together.  The photos were absolutely breathtaking.  On the actual wedding day things were happening so fast, but when we got our photos back it was like we got to relive the entire day and see moments that we didn't even know happened.  As wedding photographers ourselves, we were extremely happy with Carolina's expertise, artistry, and professionalism and would highly recommend Carolina to anyone.  Thanks again Carolina!

Beyond talented

Carolina Rivera is beyond talented!  We had Carolina document our wedding day with her beautiful photos and couldn't be happier!  She manages to capture a glimpse of time that conveys all of the emotions you felt in the moment.  Thanks to Carolina we can relive our wedding day through her amazing shots.  She could not be more professional and responsive.  She is truly the most talented artist who provides you with photos that are anything but generic.  I highly highly suggest choosing Carolina! We love her!

What is your photography style?

My style of wedding photography is documentary in nature, with a fine art twist. What does this mean? I approach moments candidly, with minimal instructions, so that you can fully experience your day uninhibited and relive the moments that are true to you. I also love creating stylized portraits that are moody and dramatic. My editing style is a bit moodier as well, bringing home the notion that love is about deep and rich emotions that you feel in your core.
