Virginia did not follow through with any promises in our contract. Shes incredibly hard to get in touch with, constantly misses deadlines, and didn't deliver the footage we paid fo...
r. Cardens film is a total scam, its been 2 years since my wedding and I still have not received the footage I paid for. Do not book this vendor you will regret it.
I so far have my previews a day after my wedding and I’m blown away already. Talk about complete professionals that know exactly what they’re doing. These two mean business and see...
what others don’t see. I feel like I can reach out and touch a piece of hair on my head or smell the grapes at the vineyard. The picture are so lifelike because they are just that good. I KNOW they will provide me with photos and video that will help me relive that day and feel the emotions. They are absolutely amazing and I’m so happy I found them! I wanted natural shots and that is exactly what they were catching real emotions and feeling of the day and I’m just so happy and cannot wait to see all of my photos and video. Highly recommend if you love naturally beautiful photos that give off the energy of what that moment meant and felt like
When we considered our wedding day, I knew the output of the photos were important, but until it happened, I didn't realize how important it was to have someone as professional, fu...
n, and flexible as Tim. We first met Tim at our engagement shoot and we immediately knew we picked the right vendor. He drove to Center City Philadelphia for us, was on time, and was super friendly. He walked around the area with us to find the perfect spot - and had such an eye for charming backgrounds. We were floored when we got the photos back! Our wedding day was super windy, and again, we didn't have much direction on where we wanted the photos. Tim found great, urban spots, and directed us the whole way. During our reception and ceremony, it was like he and his assistant weren't even there, while they just blended right in as they captured the perfect shots. We even got our photos back way quicker than we thought we would! Tim was patient and thoughtful, and we couldn't recommend him more!
Virginia and Tim are absolutely amazing! Both of them exceeded our expectations with the most beautiful video of our wedding back in September of 2018. It is clear that the two hav...
e a great eye. Before we selected Carden's Film, they made themselves available and answered all of our concerns. They were also very warm, and easy to get in contact with before and after the wedding. All of our family and friends were amazed with the beautiful film they captured. We highly recommend!
When we started planning our wedding my husband and I decided we didn't need/want a videographer. As the planning process went on, more and more of our family/friends told us we'd ...
regret it. Three months before our weeding, we decided to try and find a videographer and found Carden's Film! I am so glad we decided to get a videographer and that it was Carden's! They were so easy to work with and professional! On the day of the wedding, we barely noticed them. They even came up to use to say bye at the end and we had forgotten they were still there! We got a 5 minute highlight film and an edited 2 hour film of the day. The quality and attention to detail they used was AMAZING! I was blown away by the 2 hour video. You could tell they put so much time into it and the end result was perfect. The day after our wedding, we talked about how we just wanted to re-live our wedding and I am SO thankful we decided to spend the extra money on video so we could!
We would highly recommend Caden’s Film to any couple who wants to relive their wedding day in such a memorable way. Virginia and Tim were very professional and amazing to work with...
. Family and friends could not say enough about our highlights video and brought tears to our eyes being able to recap our special day. There were moments they captured that are priceless and we are so happy we get to play them over and over again.
The most important element for my husband and I was hiring the right company to capture our day. I viewed this as an investment, our physical takeaway that we would have to look ba...
ck on for the rest of our lives.
After viewing Carden’s Film and Photography’s work, I knew we found the perfect company. Tim and Virginia are extremely talented and passionate and it resonates through their work.
On the day of our wedding it was raining, I was petrified we wouldn’t be able to get a lot of photos outside or take advantage of the beautiful venue. However, Carden’s didn't let the weather stop them. At times we had no idea they were taking pictures and videos. We felt incredibly comfortable and at ease. Just watching the quick highlight video brought me to tears. The pictures came out so beautiful and timeless. We couldn’t have asked for a better company to capture our day.
If you want to feel relaxed and not worry on your wedding day or any event, we highly recommend hiring Carden’s Film & Photography! Tim & Virginia we’ll definitely see you both for our future events.

had taken such amazing shots and captured moments of the love surrounding that day between my husband and I, our friends and us, our family and us, and even of ones of have gone too soon. Its been such a blessing having there pictures to look back on for so many different reasons and I'm glad they captured the essence of it all. I HIGHLY encourage any couple looking for someone to truly capture their special day to consider Cardens.
When my husband and I were looking at photographers for our wedding, the most important thing to us was having pictures that looked like us and didn't feel over posed or generic. I...
talked with Virginia about engagement pictures and their wedding photography and quickly realized that the Cardens would be willing to do whatever we felt most comfortable with. Our pictures were amazing, candid, and and captured our special day exactly as it was! When other photographers weren't willing to work with us unless we did their "pinterest" poses, Virginia and Tim we're happy to work with us and listened to our ideas. These two are the best and they're so easy to work with, you can't go wrong!
I can not say enough about them!! 5 stars all the way around! We look forward to working with them again for our daughters Bat Mitzvah next Spring

As we began planning our wedding, we knew capturing our day in photos and video was one of the most important things to us. So we wanted the best! We found the best with Carden’s. ...
We hired Carden’s for our engagement photos and wedding. We also hired our wedding videographers through them. We couldn’t have made a better decision! Tim and Virginia drove down to State College to take our engagement photos and we knew right away that they were awesome! They are so professional and yet super down to earth. They are much more than just photographers. They are artists that know what angles, lighting, backgrounds, and poses will make for amazing shots. They don’t just take pretty portraits, they capture emotions on camera in a way that makes you really relive that moment. After hiring them, there is almost no planning you have to do with them. Just let them do their thing! They know exactly what they are doing. No need to put together a shot list, they know what is important to get on film. At our wedding, we honestly didn’t even notice they were there half the time, but they found a way to sneak around and get the most amazing candid shots! Our videographers were just as amazing! They had us do a few poses and actions and turned it into a masterpiece. We were so surprised on our wedding day when they whipped out a drone to fly over the valley to capture breathtaking footage. How cool is that!? With our videography package came a 4 minute highlight film, which absolutely blew us away. They used the most perfect moments and parts of the speeches that hit every emotion possible. We have received an endless amount of compliments on the video and photos we have so far. We can’t wait to get the rest! We can’t be more thankful for all the great memories they captured on photo/video. What they do is priceless and will be treasured for many years to come! We will definitely be in touch for photos when we begin to grow our family!
Tim and Virginia are the most amazing photography duo we could have asked for on our wedding day. From the moment I found them online I fell in love with how they captured weddings...
. After talking with them about their packages I felt very confident booking them, very reasonable pricing especially because they work as a team capturing every moment. On the wedding day Virginia and Tim worked like a well oiled machine. One moment I especially loved was when they got a few pictures of us looking out of a barn window, Virginia stood outside getting pictures of us looking out while Tim got pictures of us from inside the barn. They gave GREAT direction and made everyone involved very comfortable. I will absolutely be recommending them to anyone I know getting married and can not compliment them enough!
We booked with Carden's 2 years prior to our wedding. They were wonderful to work with every step of the way! They did our engagement session in July 2012 and our wedding in June 2...
013. They are a very talented and professional couple. We were highly satisfied with all of our pictures and film. They are easy to work with and make you feel comfortable during your photo session. They made our wedding day special and unforgettable. We especially like the flash drive that was part of our package that gives us easy access to all of our pictures from our wedding day. They are quick to respond to any questions before and after our wedding day! We received our pictures and film in a very reasonable time after the event! I would recommend Carden's to any couple looking for the perfect way to remember their wedding day! I look forward to working with them again for our other photography needs!
We hired Cardens Film after we decided to use Cardens Photography to capture our wedding day. It was the best decision we made. The finale product you receive is incredible. Every ...
time I rewatch our highlight film I am taken back to our wedding day. Virginia and Tim do a wonderful job of capturing every second of your day but you almost forget they are there because they are so unobtrusive like other photographers I have seen at other weddings. I would absolutely recommend them and their services to anyone getting married in the future. They are worth every penny.
We are so happy with the pictures from our wedding. The blog for our wedding was up in about a week and we were blown away. We did not think our wedding looked that good haha. W...
hen we got our entire collection of images back in under a month we could not have been happier. Every image told a story, the quality was amazing as well Thank you!!
I knew after we booked the Carden's we did not have to worry about out photography. I look at their blog pretty much every other day (both before the wedding and now). I love pre...
tty much all of their work! Our wedding pictures were amazing. The way they see things so differently and create beautiful images is beyond me. I would recommend them to anyone who values their photography and wants a great experience.

ere there the day of, yet they made sure they got every shot they needed. Their finished product is beautiful and not just your traditional wedding videography. You receive a creative short (or long) film, depending on your package. Believe me, you will not regret hiring them to capture your day. We will have a gorgeous film to remember our day for years to come.
Virginia and Tim were amazing to work with. I honestly have no complaints. Of all of the wedding vendors we hired, they were probably among the best. They were very friendly and pe...
rsonable and do great work. We also had them do our engagement photo session, which was free with our wedding package. I would highly recommend doing your engagement photos with the same photographers you hire for your wedding (even if you go with someone other than Cardens) because it's a good opportunity for you and your fiance to get to know the photographers and their style so things run much smoother on the wedding day. Cardens is a bit pricier than many other photographers but they are well worth the cost.
We had two photographer coverage for seven hours and truly enjoyed their company! We tried our best to have a list of family photos we wanted to get and between us and the photogra...
phers working together, we were able to get pictures finished a little bit ahead of schedule. It was flawless! They weren't ever in our way and they knew exactly what shots to get! I haven't received all of our wedding photos yet, but I've got a sneak peek of five of them and they're gorgeous! They were truly a pleasure to work with!
They are just starting up their videography business, so we got a great price. They did a very good job. We didnt see the final product yet, so we'll see. But im confident they did...
a great job

Cardens are friendly, really easy-going, and professional. Despite the blizzard that happened on our wedding day, one of the photographers coming down with the flu, and horrible road conditions, they acted like the pros they were and the pictures we've seen thus far are absolutely beautiful. Honestly, my entire office and most of our family and friends cannot stop talking about the pictures Virginia took of us in the snow! Highly recommended and a great value for your money!
Virginia and Tim Carden did our October 15 wedding. They were so easygoing and pleasant to work with before the wedding. They were always responsive to our questions and took all o...
f our requests very seriously. They really helped us to figure out scheduling and logistics.
On our wedding day, they arrived right on time and got right to work. They captured all the important pre-wedding details. They were extremely flexible and patient. They are also just really nice people!
During the ceremony and reception, they were completely inconspicuous. I hardly remember seeing them at all. They weren't pushy like some wedding photographers and just captured really candid beautiful moments.
We just got our online gallery and could not be happier. The pictures are so beautiful and artistic. There are so many planned and unplanned details, like stunning shots of the sky and backgrounds. The photos truly capture the love we felt on our wedding day. The colors and composition are gorgeous.
I would highly recommend Virginia and Tim Carden. They are professional, organized, and experienced, while being incredibly talented, artistic, and fun. Their prices are also amazingly reasonable. We really trusted them to take fabulous pictures that we would always cherish, and they delivered beyond our expectations. I would hire them again in a heartbeat.
Virginia and Tim Carden are wonderful to work with. They took amazing photos at our wedding in Gettysburg on a very cold, wet, October day. They repeatedly said the lighting was pe...
rfect for picture-taking and they were right; the shots came out beautifully. I've only had a sneak peek and I can't wait to see what they captured! They have a very unique photography style and the photo quality is outstanding. Overall, great photographers and very nice people!
Tim and Virginia Carden captured both our engagement shoot and our wedding day. They are truly an amazing pair of photographers. We had so much fun working with them!! They put so ...
much care into our photos. They were truly wonderful, and take such amazing photos! We would recommend them to everyone for photo needs!!
I was an out of state, three hour time difference bride-- so for planning I had to rely a lot of websites and emails. Virginia and Tim were wonderful to communicate with and easy ...
to set up my photography package. I'm not a bride that wanted to throw half my budget towards photography, but I did want high quality photojournalism style photography AND two photographers without breaking the bank. Carden's was in my price range, and they had amazing photos on their blog. I still can't believe what a steal I got on their price and what they brought to the table. They're a husband and wife duo that was able to capture both the bride and groom getting ready, to points of views during the ceremony and reception. I highly recommend them, their photos are real and not forced or overly edited. I wish I lived in PA so I could use them for all the big events in my life!
The only downfall was that they were rather busy traveling the week before my event and forgot to follow up and call me to iron out the details... also, we had a lot of time for pictures and I think, in retrospect that some poses were missed and we could have gotten more, different photos including the "ring" photo that always usually gets taken. overall it was a great experience.
My best friend was recently married and used Carden's Photography. I was so wowed by her images I booked them for my wedding. We had our engagement pictures done with them and I ...
am amazed at the creativity and beauty of the photographs. Virginia and Tim were fun and easy to work with. Our pictures captured exactly what I wanted and cannot wait for the wedding so I can see the pictures!
Everyone knows that photos last longer than flowers and cake so when choosing a photographer you have to go into it knowing that your budget may have to venture a bit higher than y...
our pocket may want you to go.
When my husband and I started looking around and came across Virginia and Tim Carden and saw the quality of their photos we thought that there was no way we could afford to have our wedding captured so beautifully. Turns out we were way off.
They were more than affordable. Sure they were a little farther away than the rest of our vendors but that was the ticket. They come to Pittsburgh quite often but don't seem to charge the high city rates.
When we met with them for our engagement pics we were both so nervous. We didn't want the photos to look too cheesy and to posed. When all was said and done it was awesome. They turned out to be hilarious! They really captured our playful side and made us look so good.
When the wedding came around I was so excited to spend the day with them. They were fast with the family pics so we could get back to the party. The photos are everything I wanted them to be but better than I could have thought.
I'll e calling Vriginia and Tim again when life hands us any other special occasion worth capturing in the beautiful way that their talented eyes can do so well.
