Caroline Lima Photography

Looking back at my wedding day, the best decision I made was picking Caroline as my photographer. I had seen her talent through a high school friend, and I knew I had to have her for my wedding! Here are a few reasons why she's amazing: 1. She was SO on top of things & super organized. She was my only vendor that I did not have to contact first for details, and being a type A person in aspects of wedding planning, that says a lot! 2. The day of the wedding was the first time we met in person, and I felt like I had known her my whole entire life. She was so easy going, kind, and warm. 3. Every wedding day comes with a little bit of anxiety to make sure everything is going according to schedule, and whenever I had a bit of anxiety come across me, Caroline was there to save the day. I would just look at her and she would know exactly how to fix any situation and what the next step was! 4. My friends & family RAVED not only about the pictures (which were beyond my expectations), but about her! They loved being around her and loved the way she directed the crowd. She was calm, assertive, and personable. 5. She was beyond thoughtful with timing on sending the pictures as my husband and I had to do long distance right after the wedding. Her sneak pictures were what got me through the long distance struggles. Not only that, but she had the full album ready the week she knew I was going to see my husband again for the first time in 1 month! That made our week together even more exciting and special thanks to Caroline. 6. Any picture I post people are AMAZED by it! I have had people personally messaging me to tell me how gorgeous they are. 7. Wedding photos are what help you relive the memories forever, and without Caroline, all the candids/portraits would not have been captured as stunning as they were. You can truly see the emotion in each picture. She is simply the best and I am beyond thankful I had the pleasure of working with her on the best day of my life!

Before I got engaged, I saw a few of Caroline's photos on Pinterest and knew I wanted to reach out to her once my boyfriend and I got engaged. Just a few months later when we got engaged, I knew selecting the right photographer was going to be one of our first and biggest decisions as they're such an important part of the wedding day. We loved how Caroline's photos really captured the emotion of the day. We LOVED meeting Caroline via Facetime then in-person at our engagement photo session. After our initial Facetime consultation, I felt like we were old friends and knew she was the person I wanted documenting our wedding. We could not be happier we selected Caroline to photograph our special day. Caroline was an absolute delight to work with at each interaction. We have nothing, but the best things to say about her. She is so sweet, calming, diligent, and extremely talented. She has such a gift to capture the day as it was, rather than a bunch of manufactured photos. Her attention to detail and her calming nature are exactly what any bride wants on her wedding day. I fully trusted that Caroline would capture our day completely. She raced around for almost twelve hours photographing our wedding day; and my husband, family, friends, and I were BLOWN AWAY by the photos she captured. They were so beautiful and captured every little moment throughout the day. We feel so lucky that our paths crossed and I highly recommend her to anyone. You won't regret choosing Caroline and it'll be one of the best decisions you make wedding planning. She's worth of every penny! We'll cherish the photos she captured forever!

Caroline was a dream to work with from my first conversation with her all the way to editing my wedding album. She is kind, positive, responsive, professional, and just all around fabulous! The photographs from our engagement session and wedding are unbelievably beautiful thanks to her!

It was very important to my now husband and I to find the right photographer to capture our wedding day celebration that we had planned and preparation so much for - after all, these will be the pictures that tell the story of us on that day and the start of our marriage. We looked at many talented photographers, but when we saw the photos on Caroline's website, we were immediately impressed with just another level of excellence and quality with every photo. She was amazingly personable and professional to work with, communicated openly and often, had suggestions for locations for our engagement and my bridal photos, coached me on some poses that were most flattering for my figure and dress, and I can go on and on - she is amazing. We got our pictures back and just could not get over how well she captured real moments of emotion and laughter while making us look natural and comfortable. Our pictures look like something out of an amazing magazine photo shoot which is exactly what we were hoping for. I love Caroline, her eye is amazing and her work is worth every penny. You can completely relax and feel good about choosing her services and feel confident that it doesn't get any better than Caroline Lima.

Caroline was beyond amazing to work with. We had so much fun getting to know her at our engagement session, and by the wedding weekend she was like a friend to us. She made us feel so at ease and comfortable, and was so efficient with her schedule on the day of the wedding. I think we had the craziest and largest bridal party she has ever dealt with, and she was so professional and knew exactly how to make sure everything still ran so smoothly. We could not ask for better photos than what she captured, and the album is absolutely stunning. We cannot say enough nice things about Caroline!

We are thrilled to add our resounding praise for Caroline! From the minute we saw her work, we were taken with her ability to capture moments that you could feel through the image. We wanted photographs that, even if you weren't there, would evoke the emotion of the moment and Caroline absolutely nailed it. In the months leading up to the wedding, Caroline became more than a photographer, she became our friend! Our correspondence with Caroline was always prompt, helpful, and calming as we buttoned up the final details. Caroline's organization shined through her communication and we knew we were in good hands before we ever even met. Though I told Caroline at our rehearsal dinner I felt like I was meeting an old friend because that's just how she treats her clients! Throughout the rehearsal and wedding day Caroline was incredibly professional and helpful above and beyond just our photographer. She kept us all in line, on schedule, and helped us navigate the usual bumps along the way. Rain? No problem, she had a plan (and made our day look just as beautiful!). Unexpected nose bleed right after our first look? She told me to lean forward, got me to the bathroom without a drop on my gown, and went to find "the calmest bridesmaid" (one of my bridesmaids' favorite quotes from the day!). Two surprise flash mobs at the reception? Caroline was a ninja snapping shots all around the room to capture the surprise, joy, and fun of each moment. We received some sneaks peaks right after the wedding (which were incredible) and then our final photos before the estimated time. They are, without a doubt, some of the most beautiful images we've ever seen. We, along with our friends and family, will cherish them forever. All this to say, if you are considering hiring Caroline, look no further! You will feel honored to have her capture your big day.

Caroline was our wedding photographer and did a phenomenal job with both engagement and wedding photos. Not only was she kind, laid back, and easy to work with, she was easy to communicate with about all the details we had to work out leading up to our wedding day. She has our highest recommendation.

Hiring Caroline was the best decision of my wedding! Caroline has SUCH a unique gift, and her demeanor makes her an absolute dream to work with. When she sent me my first previews of my wedding photos, I actually teared up because I couldn't believe how much I loved them. When I got the full set of photos, I looked through them probably 100 times because I loved every one. Not only did she capture the bride and groom, but she even snapped dozens and dozens of photos of my wedding guests! I've sent these photos to my guests in their thank you cards, and they have loved the photos of themselves so much that they plan to use them for Christmas cards and to frame in their homes! Looking back on my wedding, I knew the photos would be important to me, but I didn't quite understand just how much until after the wedding. I feel so lucky that I can look back at Caroline's photos and remember the day so fondly because she captured it so beautifully. She has even been so much fun to keep in touch with after the wedding, and I love that I can post her own photos for her to see! I didn't even have to tell Caroline where I wanted photos, what specific moments I wanted captured, or what my good side even was - she just did everything EXACTLY right. She knew such small tricks like making sure she got a wide variety of photos to guarantee I would find ones I love - with and without a bouquet, smiling big and small, cropped and full-body, both sides of my face, black and white and color, artsy and funny. She got it all!! Caroline, I can't thank you enough! <3

Booking Caroline Lima to photograph our wedding was one of the best choices we made when we were planning. I found her online portfolio and fell head-over-heels in love with her gorgeous style and skill. She happily worked with us to design a package that fit our needs and wants, and was promptly responsive with communication. She put us right at ease during our engagement shoot despite our lack of natural talent in front of the camera, and our photos came out BEAUTIFULLY - I look at them all the time. Her style is unforced, natural, and the emotions of the day are allowed to take center stage. She is also an unparalleled professional - she was early to our wedding, handled rowdy groomsmen, and worked with late vendors with a graceful attitude that somehow kept us on time and everybody smiling. She is unobtrusive and allows you to enjoy your wedding with your new spouse, family, and friends, quietly capturing fantastic moments that will have you laughing and crying when you see them again. As far as punctuality with returning photos, she sent our engagement photos to us within 2 weeks, and our wedding photos well within 3 weeks. My parents were so impressed with her that they are already hoping to hire her for my sister's wedding in a year or two. Hire Caroline Lima- she is utterly worth it.

Caroline is absolutely amazing at what she does. I have only received a sneak peek at our wedding photos, but what I saw blew me away. Caroline exceeded all of my expectations. I have never seen such beautiful photos! She is such a kind and patient soul. She is professional and passionate. She has a calm, cool, and collected vibe that is infectious and makes you feel instantly comfortable around her. I am so happy that she was there to capture my husband and mine’s special day on 6.23.18! I have nothing but positive things to say about her. Hire her, I promise you won’t regret it!

Hiring Caroline to capture our special day was without question one of the best choices we made when checking the boxes for wedding arrangements. Her work speaks for itself and she made what can sometimes be a bit stressful, very relaxing and thorough when taking all of the bridal party/wedding photos. Her sense of humor came natural with the bridal party which made the evening that much more enjoyable. The wedding album she created for us exceeded our expectations and is something we will have to look back on as we continue in our journey of marriage. In short, Caroline felt apart of the family for the get go and was nothing short of spectacular when it came to documenting our special day in September. If you are looking for someone who is truly passionate about her profession and has a natural gift for capturing the moment, then look no further and hire Caroline Lima for your wedding!

First things first, Caroline is AMAZING. Her attention to detail and calming personality could not have been more appreciated on the big day. She is fun to be around and has an amazing sense of what "works" for pictures. The photographs were AMAZING, from engagement pictures, bridal portraits, to wedding "sneak peeks" and pictures. As sister, of the bride, we could not have been more pleased. We look forward to using her for our future needs in photography. She is the best, no doubt about it.

This review is coming over a month after our wedding because I've been brainstorming for WEEKS about how to articulate everything I want to say about Caroline. I had big dreams of outdoor photos with lush greenery and sunshine galore. Those dreams were somewhat shattered when hurricane matthew came swirling around on our wedding day and I was so sad that our wedding photos wouldn't be how I envisioned them. That is until Caroline came so calmly and gracefully floating into our wedding venue with her poncho, ready to take gorgeous photos that captured every little moment we hoped would be captured. She had not one moment of doubt that our pictures would be beautiful and honestly, after seeing the photos, it doesn't even look like it was raining. Caroline has this unbelievable way of capturing the "essence", of people, of parties, of receptions, of everything. She caught every moment that I didn't get to witness firsthand and transported me back, making me feel like I was there myself. She is BEYOND talented and on top of that, so compassionate, understanding, kind and like a magical fairy godmother. I don't know how she does what she does and I am endlessly grateful that she was the one with us on our wedding day (and the one who will hopefully be with us when we eventually take maternity/baby/any important occasion photos in the future)!

Caroline covered our wedding last August and this is one of the best decision we took! We loved her work as we just started researching weddings online. We had a skype call, and knew she was 'the one'! She went the extra mile (on several occasions) and helped us a lot, as we were planning the wedding remotely and I am not from the US. But I trusted her judgement and recommendations and thanks to her, we managed to gather the dream team of vendors! She is also one of the most organised person I have ever met, which helped greatly throughout the planning process. The day of, she arrived and lost no time! She started by asking everyone's name and repeated themn(in French!) to remember them all! Then she started looking at the place and moving things around to have a flawless background, where the light was at its best. During the 'getting ready' session for instance, she suggested a few things, but it didn't feel uncomfortable, it still very much felt like us. She was so efficient and really made everyone feel comfortable. Before the ceremony, a storm came up and a tree fell on the power line. Not only our outdoors wedding had to be moved inside, we had no power at all for the whole time. No A/C, no light, only candles and a generator for the music and the dance floor lights. Caroline had very kind words and was so reinsuring. She worked non-stop, throughout the evening, in these most unusual conditions. Very quickly after the wedding, she sent us a 'sneak peak', which is just perfect when you just got married and still feel all the emotions from the day, and while waiting for the whole photo gallery. But the full gallery didn't take long to reach us!! And all the photos are incredibly beautiful. We relived our day through all the images. Everything was there: the details, the emotions, the fun. We just love them. Caroline has the eye for what will be the best place, the best light and she will take all the elements into consideration to make you look at your very best. Her eye and professionalism made the most fantastic images and thanks to her work, we will cherish and share these memories forever. Caroline is such a kind and talented person and we feel so privileged that she spend one of the most important days of our life with us. We are so thankful for all you did for us!!

We cannot express how thrilled we are that Caroline was our photographer! Leading up to the wedding, and on the day of, she was so friendly, thoughtful, and easy to work with. Caroline communicated with us to make sure that she had a list of "must photos" so that we would definitely have pictures with everyone that we wanted. She also made it clear to grab her at any time during the reception if there were any photos we wanted taken. Caroline took the time to get to know us and even met up with us one afternoon just to chat. We thoroughly have enjoyed getting to know Caroline and are a little sad that this is over and we won't be communicating with her as much. As mutual dog lovers we hope to get together for a play date soon with our pups! Words cannot express how kind Caroline is, and they also can't express how talented she is. The day of our wedding was greeted with hurricane Joaquin, and it was the heaviest day of rain during two straight weeks of rain. Of course my husband and I chose to have an outdoor wedding with no back up plan. That being said, everything went off without a hitch and Caroline was a big part of that. Caroline told my sister (also a photographer and whose recommendation helped us find Caroline) that these were the most challenging circumstances that she has faced, but it didn't show in her demeanor that day and certainly does not show in the photos we have seen so far. Caroline made the effort to stop at several stores on her way into town to gather as many clear umbrellas as she could. Our photos are amazing! Some of them are amazing because of the clear umbrellas! We still did our first look outside and had so much fun with Caroline and her second shooter, Katherine Jones. They made sure to place towels under my train to keep it as clean as possible, and somehow were able to hide the towels. After the ceremony there was a break in the storm, and we were able to get all of our family portraits done outside like we wanted. We did 31 portraits in 30 minutes! We truly can't express how thrilled we are that we were able to book Caroline. Our photos are incredible and we feel like we have gained a friend. Thank you so much, Caroline! We really cannot thank you enough :). Jenn & Dean

Caroline is a warm, caring professional who takes pride in her work. She and her assistant were very easy to work with. They liked to shoot lots of serious photos (read: mug shots) of the men and lots of look down/eyes closed of the girls. However, with the number of pictures she provided me, there were plenty of other types of shots too. She wastes quite a bit of money on personal touches (sending chocolates by first class mail after we booked, sending a large priority mail box with linen bags of some photographs from the wedding). If you're the sentimental type that probably means a lot but if just felt like she was wasting the money we had paid her. She is excellent and timely with communication. She is very detail oriented and I got all the shots I wanted on my wedding day thanks to her planning. I would definitely recommend her!, just feel free to speak up if you don't like the direction something is going - she will work with you (& I learned that a bit late).
