About
It's hard to believe that I've been doing this full time for over ten years. Ten years of getting to do what I love and creating images for amazing friends and clients. I started as a wedding photographer but as my wedding clients started growing their families I started photographing babies, kids, families, and seniors too.
Weddings-
I love weddings. I love the real moments that happen through the day and the the fun times had by all.
Getting to know you and building relationship with you as a client is key for me. When you hire me to photograph your wedding I respect the fact that you are trusting me to capture one of your most important days.
I start the pre-wedding process by helping you make a timeline for your wedding day usually about a month or two before the big day. Having a plan takes some of the stress out of the day before it begins. Doing this one step assures the day is fun and allows us to fit everything in that you want captured.
I understand that my job is not just about taking great images. It's also about making sure you have a great wedding day experience. I want you to have a great time and to fully enjoy your wedding day. I understand that this looks different for every couple. I want to know you as a couple and know how you want to spend your day.
I want to work with couples that value great photography and want meaningful wedding images. More than anything, I want to make sure I'm a great fit stylistically and personally.
I think it is important to hire a photographer that you are excited about. I think it is equally important to hire a photographer that you are comfortable with and trust. I hope this gives you an idea of who I am and what I value. I would love to get to know you and learn more about your wedding day. If you'd like to get together feel free to text me, call me, or email. We can either get together if you are local or we can Skype, or schedule a phone consultation if you are not in the KC area.
Carson's Wedding Photography Style
I don't subscribe to one style of photography. I enjoy working outdoors and finding unique locations for off site photos and finding spaces that fit my client's style. I love natural looking portraits and like for my couples to interact a lot so we can achieve a natural look. I also incorporate Photojournalism into most of the day. I want my clients to have a good mix of real moments and natural portraits. I also try to make the whole experience fun and low stress which is equally as important as the style.
