Carolina Wahnish Rivera Photography

Made my vision come alive! I could not be more happy with my experience with Carolina for our wedding. She captured the love and happiness of our day so perfectly. Her photography style is exactly what I envisioned for our day day :).

Carolina was an absolute pleasure to work with. We had so many unknowns surrounding our wedding due to COVID and she was there with us every step of the way and always going the extra mile to make sure she was doing the stressing out for us. Her work is beyond compare and exactly what we had hoped for and more. The way she’s able to capture such pure and natural moments in such a beautiful way left us speechless. We were so lucky and fortunate to have her by our side to document our special day, and she has given us such priceless gifts with all the moments she captured. I can’t say enough great things about our experience with Carolina, and I would highly recommend her for any event you might be planning.

Carolina was an absolute pleasure to work with and the pictures are stunning! She came early and stayed late. I would highly recommend her to anybody!

Words don't do Carolina & her team's work justice. She is a magician of photography and knows just the right angle & lighting to capture the essence of a moment and celebration. The slideshow she put together for us of our wedding shots had us in tears and feeling like we were back in each moment more than our wedding video did! She of course does your traditional shots & portraits, but for us, it was the way she seemed to be in just the right place, at just the right time to get those in the moment, non-tradition shots where you can feel the energy just by looking at them. Carolina does all this without interrupting the natural flow of the day or making us feel like we were staged or missing out on parts of our wedding for photos. We would hire her again in a heartbeat!

If you're looking for an amazing photographer for your wedding, stop your search and choose Carolina! She truly is incredible. Carolina's journalistic, artistic, and dramatic style will capture the authentic beauty of your wedding day in a way that many photographers are not able to capture. Friends have told us that we have the best wedding photos they have ever seen. Before our wedding, Carolina took the time to be prepared with lists of who she would be photographing for family portraits and when so things were efficient and smooth on wedding day. A few months before our wedding, we discussed having an additional photo sheet with her at our favorite beach at sunset, hours after the reception ended. She was so flexible and agreed to stay an additional night to meet our requests. On our wedding day, Carolina and Danny made us feel comfortable, which is so important on a day that will probably begin with nervous excitement. The photographs we have we will treasure for a lifetime. We received over 1000 amazing photos and will be ordering albums through Carolina as well. We will happily book a photo shoot with Carolina again in the future and recommend her to everyone we know. Thank you, Carolina, for capturing the best day of our life!

For my 10th wedding anniversary and vow renewal, I wanted to surprise my husband with a boudoir shoot. Being a photographer himself (that has wanted to get me in front of his camera), I knew I had to get the best photographer for the job whose style is exactly what I was looking for. I wanted moody, sexy and mysterious and Carolina’s work fit the bill. On the day of the shoot, I love how Carolina focused on the body and making sure I felt comfortable. When I received the images, I was completely blown away. I couldn’t believe the beautiful and sexy woman in the images was me and I have not felt that way in a very long time. Carolina’s work is stunning and I’m so excited to look through the album for the years to come.

Carolina's work captures emotion in a way that's difficult to even fathom or describe. We were on our honeymoon and eating dinner when I saw that we had received our wedding photos. We looked at only a few before my husband and I burst into tears at the table. The photos are that moving. Believe me when I say that our December 2017 wedding was the best day of our lives. There was so much palpable love in the room, so many wonderful memories made... but the mind's eye can fail you after a while. We were privileged enough to have Carolina document all of the "big moments" in an incredibly beautiful way, but also the little details that we may not have even caught on the day itself, but will now treasure for years to come... My father and I crying while dancing to the song he wrote for me, my mother getting emotional zipping up my dress, new friendships blossoming, my very elderly grandparents dancing together, tender hugs, tears of joy, laughter, and absolute bliss. We knew we had wanted something "different" in a photographer. Wedding photos all start to look the same after a while, and we felt that Carolina's photojournalistic style and romantic tonality could capture ours in a way we would cherish forever. We still wanted some classic portraits, which Carolina so perfectly directed - even with such a large, 20 person bridal party and big families on both sides. But for the rest, we completely entrusted Carolina to just do her thing. She is super, super creative, she is patient, she is completely relaxed and laid back and is overall just a really confident and cool and person and true artist. Her assistant Niño was cut from the same cloth, catching hilarious and awesome moments of the groom and his groomsmen, a great alternate perspective of the wedding ceremony, and of course, some amazing dance floor shots with Carolina. Both photographers were always in the right place at the right time, all while stealthily blending in and getting those "wait, the photographer was standing there?!" shots. The amount of compliments we've received on our images prove that they are truly something special. We cannot recommend Carolina and her team enough. A+++++++

Choosing a photographer is TOUGH WORK, but if you're looking for someone to make you feel at ease, real emotion to be captured and images that double as art, look no further than Carolina Rivera. From the get-go, Carolina gave us everything we wanted and more. Our "day-in-the-life" engagement shoot was truly unique and it felt like she popped into our home and just started snapping candid, raw images. Exactly what we wanted. Our wedding was the same way. Nothing felt staged, everything felt real and the images we received take us right back to the moment. If you're looking for a typical wedding photographer, Carolina is not for you. If you want to see your real emotions caught on film and art to fill a book and your walls, we couldn't recommend Carolina anymore.

We chose Carolina because we knew she’d capture candid moments in an imaginative and unobtrusive manner. It was important to us to have an authentic narrative of our day and she delivered just that. For portraits, Carolina will ask you to move to several locations and into various positions – do whatever she requests! She has an incredible eye and you will be thrilled with, and dumbfounded as to how she was able to visualize, the end result. Carolina is also extremely responsive, thorough and professional which is exactly the kind of partner you need when planning your wedding. Hire her not just for your wedding but any facet of your life you’d like documented.
