We cannot say enough wonderful things about Addie and our experience! The sneak peeks alone were even more than we could ever imagine! Even though we didn’t have the perfect weather, she truly captured the MOST PERFECT day and feel with her talent!

Where do I even begin? Addie didn’t just photograph our wedding — she captured the entire feeling of the day in a way we’ll treasure forever.

Addie DeCarolis Photo is a wedding photography business based in Springfield, MO. Owner and lead photographer, Addie, is dedicated to capturing moments so you can live in the moment. Addie hopes to make your wedding day as memorable as possible, remaining by your side throughout the journey to see your vision come to life. My goal is to capture the unposed, intimate moments of your biggest day so that you will always be drawn back to your gallery. Don't get me wrong, the posed shots with your friends or family are moments you will want to remember. You know what you'll want to remember more? The look on your husband's face as he sees you walk down the aisle. The emotion in your father's eyes as he sees his baby girl in her wedding dress for the first time. Your grandparents sharing a dance together at your wedding, reminiscing on their own. Those are the moments you'll frame. Those are the moments you will cherish. I'm a girl's girl at heart! I can be your biggest hype girl on the wedding day, but I'm also a fly on the wall when needed. My years of experience have created a deep sense of versatility in how I interact with you on your special day. In the intimate moments, you won't even recognize I'm there. Advocacy for one on time with you and your most important people is my biggest priority. I'll also be there with you on the dance floor, celebrating your love and documenting the best reactions from your guests to capture the moments you'll cherish forever.

Addie DeCarolis

Owner

I'm originally from Springfield, MO but moved to Branson in 2017 and attended College of the Ozarks. This is where I fell in love with photography, and launched my business in the fall of 2017! I met my husband, Zach, at school, and now we have two children, Gryffin and Opal. We relocated to the Springfield area almost 2 years ago. I shot my first wedding in 2022, and have captured approximately 80 weddings since then!

d beyond for her clients. Before our wedding, she met with my husband and me to walk through all our questions and ideas, making everything so easy to understand. She offers so much more than any photographer I’ve worked with in the past. On our big day, she was incredibly accommodating and such a calming presence. Her sweet, gentle voice instantly puts you at ease, and she made the entire experience feel like we had a close friend behind the camera. We could tell she put in so much preparation. She had all the poses we loved saved and even came with new creative ideas she knew we’d enjoy. The way she delivers your photos afterward is seamless, user-friendly, and completely hassle-free. I honestly can’t say enough wonderful things about Addie. Her work speaks for itself. It’s absolutely stunning. Book with Addie! You won’t regret it.

r my husband and I. She was quick getting the photos back to us and they look amazing!!! Our wedding weather made some unexpected switches take place and Addie was in the room with me, reassuring me that this day can’t be ruined and that she will do whatever it takes to make sure we didn’t miss out on pictures. And she stood in the POURING rain taking photos of my family and I so I could have the memories. She was more than a photographer, she was a friend on that day! ❤️ I would choose her again!!!

If we had feedback or concerns, she took them seriously, and adapted so we got the exact product we were expecting and wanting. She met all contractual obligations and was so kind. I'll be using her for all photography needs going forward if she'll have me!

Addie did a FANTASTIC job with our photos, I cannot recommend her enough. One of my favorite things about Addie is how personable she is, it makes photo taking so much more comfort...

able and fun. (Especially if you feel awkward/don’t know what to do in front of the camera, like me!) Along with the gorgeous photo editing that is timeless and chic, not TOO edited/fad-ish, Addie was so helpful in different aspects of planning the wedding, and would check in to see how all the craziness of wedding planning was treating me, as well as offering advice and help in any way she could! Lastly, Addie was willing to make the ~12 hour drive to be able to capture my special day. She is just the best, and I can’t imagine having anyone else take our photos!!!

Booking Addie to document our day was one of the best decisions we made in regards to our wedding. From day one to wedding day she has been nothing but helpful. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!! We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. You won’t regret booking her. BOOK HER ASAP!!

To start, I was not a very organized bride, on the day off things were chaotic and crazy (as a lot of weddings end up being, I'm sure!) But Addie arrived and jumped right in! She ...

was very professional and friendly. My groom and I are awkward weirdos, so I was a little nervous that we wouldn't photograph very well, but Addie gave good directions and our photos came out gorgeous! It was not planned but my husband and step-daughter had an impromptu "first look" and Addie captured it so beautifully. I didn't get to see it in person but I teared up looking through the photos. So grateful for that, and we will truly cherish our photos. Addie was prompt with communications, showed up exactly on time and travelled several hours for our wedding. We also received a sneak peek the very next morning and the entire album in about 4 weeks, so amazing turn around and we didn't have to wait long at all. Thank you, Addie!

band were so helpful and went outside their roles to help us by moving our decor and setting up inside due to last minute rain. Addie made sure to make me feel that she was in MY corner and when I would feel overwhelmed, she was right there waiting to help. The entire process from the moment they arrived until they left, was smooth and professional. Thank you Addie for capturing all the precious moments on our perfect day!

ules and needs. She was a dream to work with and she was so helpful the day of. Our photos turned out so gorgeous and she was able to capture all the important moments, special requests, and more. She was very knowledgeable in what she does and I would suggest her to anyone who is looking for a photographer. She was prompt with returning the sneak peak photos as well as all of our other photos we got them at the time she said we would. The photos and the edits are all perfect and more than I could ask for! Addie captured the vision of the wedding and was able to give us memories of our special day. She is very talented and gave us so many edited photos back. I would suggest her to anyone looking for a photographer any occasion, but especially weddings! Loved having two photographers it was worth the money. We am happy with our experience and so grateful that we were able to get everything we wanted! Addie went above and beyond even helped steam the bridesmaid’s dresses–truly amazing to work with.
