About this vendor
Andy here - hello! I'm a fine-art wedding photographer based in San Jose, California. It is my great pleasure to create timeless, authentic, and elegant images to document the beauty of a wedding day.
I use both film and digital images to tell a wedding story. I am captivated by the beauty of simplicity, and I love timeless portraits. To me, there are few things that top the combination of a radiant couple, beautiful light, and a medium format film camera.

We could not be happier with our decision to hire Andy Carretto as our wedding photographer. His work is simply stunning! As we look back at our wedding photos, every shot is beautifully framed, impeccably edited and carries so much emotion. It amazes me to zoom into each photo and realize how truly high quality they all are. We also loved Andy’s passion for film photography, which gave some of our wedding images such a cool, timeless feel. Andy’s ability to capture every moment and emotion on a wedding day is truly impressive. I am so overwhelmed at how many beautiful photos he delivered to us. Every bride wants to look and feel her best on their wedding day, and hopes that gets captured in photos. Andy did just that, and we will be forever grateful every time we look back at our wedding gallery.
Andy Carretto photographed our engagement photos, rehearsal dinner, and wedding day and was an absolute pleasure to work with! We could not have been happier with our decision to hire him. He is the most calming presence and his photography skills are unmatched! We absolutely love all of the photos he took of us and know we will cherish the memories forever. We would 100% recommend working with Andy and can't wait for him to photograph our future special moments.
Andy took our engagement and wedding photos. Everything turned out so amazing. He really knows how to create art. We loved his portfolio first then we so pleased that he is just so easy to hang out with. Our engagement session was in San Francisco and he took us on an adventure to really get some amazing photos. Our wedding was in Utah at Zion National Park. We had such a great time with him on our wedding team. Andy is organized and really goes the extra mile to know the area he's working in as well as make the couple comfortable and confident on their wedding day. Our photos really capture the majesty of Zion, which is no easy feat. Now we just have to narrow down images for our album and walls!! So many amazing ones to choose from!
Andy is incredible! We had a weeklong South Asian wedding and Andy captured all of our special moments. He was reliable, easy to work with, and went above and beyond finding the perfect outdoor locations for us in St. Louis.
My family adored him, and we are all beyond thankful for the photos he captured. The images turned out better than I could have hoped for!
Andy was the best decision we made for our day. And I have not even seen all the photos yet, but I can confidently say that I know he captured every detail perfectly.
When you are hiring a photographer to capture the best day of your life, you want one you can trust wholeheartedly, one that is talented, reliable, calming, and fun. Andy was all of that and more. He also used the style we were looking for :timeless, romantic, soft. We never felt out of place or forced. I would highly recommend Andy and Carretto Studio (x10).
Working with Andy was truly the highlight of our wedding and engagement process. His photos are stunning, timeless, and elegant, and we never felt uncomfortable or staged. He patiently worked with us to find the perfect outdoor location in San Francisco for our engagement photos, and our family and friends are blown away with our wedding photos. We are already looking forward to family photos over the next few years so we can find another excuse to work with him. We couldn't have had a better experience and recommend Carretto Studio wholeheartedly!
Andy is a DREAM!! He came highly recommended and we could not be more thrilled to have worked with him for our wedding day. His photos are stunning--soft and romantic, with a natural feel, which was important to us. And equally importantly--he is an absolute pleasure to be around. He is so kind and lovely, and has a very calm demeanor that put everyone at ease as he captured our big day. We're so happy to have gotten to work with him and highly highly recommend his work!! Thanks Andy!!!
Andy was an absolute pleasure to work with on our wedding day, and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer. Everything so calm, smooth, and organized because of Andy's direction. He was a delight to have around and made me feel at ease throughout the whole day. When I was unsure of where to place the veil on my head, Andy was there with advice on what wouldn't look goofy. When my sister couldn't figure out the straps on my wedding dress, his second photographer, Gretchen, was there to provide a helping hand. He took the vision of my grandmother's wedding portrait and ad-libbed an on-site portrait studio at the church. Not only are his photos are high quality and beautiful, but working with someone like Andy made the whole experience that much more amazing.
Andy was very attentive, working with me on all the details and left me stress free the day of, knowing he was capturing everything just perfectly. Andy has incredible talent and I could not have been more pleased with how our weddig photos turned out.
If you’re looking for a photographer who will take the time to get to know you as a couple, understand your style and make you feel so at ease on your big day, then look no further! Andy was incredible to work with throughout the entire process. He’s so organized and on top of his game. The sneak peeks we’ve seen so far look stunning and we couldn’t be happier with our with our choice of selecting Carretero studio for a day we will always remember. Special thanks to Beth as well. The two of you work so well together and truly made our day!!!
We couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our wedding. Andy (and his wife Beth) shot our wedding and made it a day we'll never forget. No literally, we won't forget because we have the most gorgeous photos to show, frame and cherish. Their talent sells itself when you see the artistic and stunning images, but the Carrettos themselves are the kind of people you want to spend your wedding day with. Andy is laid-back, positive, relaxed, attentive and on top of everything. He's running the show without you even realizing it, taking all stress out of everything while noticing everything around him at all times so as not to miss "the shot". Beth is the perfect compliment bringing diligent professionalism with effortless upbeat energy and capturing every detail. We will cherish forever the stunning photos they took at our wedding.
Andy was one of our absolute favorite vendors for our wedding! He is insanely talented and his personality and demeanor are ideal for a wedding photographer. He serves as a much-needed calming force, and his photos are absolutely beautiful. Highly recommend to any bride and groom!
Andy Carretto photographed our wedding day, and we couldn't have been happier with our choice to hire him! Not only is Andy super talented, but he was just a great person to have around on the day of our wedding. He made both of us feel totally at ease and relaxed, which was a huge plus on a stressful day. We absolutely love the way our photos turned out, and I would 100% recommend hiring Andy to shoot your wedding day!
Just wonderful! Beth was fantastic to work with and she captured our day perfectly! Every photo is so beautiful, and Beth made us feel so comfortable from the very start to the end of our day. She really went above and beyond for us (even obliging my dad's request for photos to be shown at the reception). I would very highly recommend Beth and Carretto Studio!
POST WEDDING REVIEW: Today we received a few images from our wedding a few weeks ago, and I had to edit my original review. I could not be more thrilled with the pictures we've seen so far and I know I will feel the same as the remainder come in. I want to talk specifically about that it meant to have Andy as a part of our day....
Our wedding was planned to be a 100% outdoor wedding (with no tent, I know...I KNOW). Sure enough it rained and things had to be moved around, new plans needed to be made, and part of our afternoon was getting all of those logistics figured out. During a 20 minute period of it somehow magically not raining, Andy encouraged us to take pictures outside. No joke - had he not done this, I think we would have only had a handful of pictures outside and they would have all been in the evening when the rain died down (so essentially with no natural light). It means SO much to us that Andy took the lead on encouraging us to get outside in the midst of the craziness. He made sure we would get these beautiful, outdoor pictures for our backyard wedding and I am convinced that if it wasn't for him they would not exist. YOU NEED to hire Andy, not only because he is incredibly talented - but because he is so polite (SO many people came up to us after the wedding and talked about how nice he was to them). And beyond that, he's just fun. Weddings can be stressful and Andy made us feel like we had a friend taking our pictures. Both my husband and I felt completely relaxed in trusting that he would capture our day the way we remember it and Andy did not fail to do so. BOOK. HIM. NOW.
Andy was BEYOND what we ever imagined we would get from a wedding photographer. From sending him in inquiry emailing, to meeting in a coffee shop and learning more about his craft, to taking our engagement pictures, my fiance and I have both been completely blown away. Not only is Andy supremely talented, he's overall just a really great guy. I cannot stress enough how important 'vibing' with your wedding photographer is, and Andy makes that EASY! We were able to relax in front of him/his camera which was so evident by the incredible engagement pictures he was able to capture. Not many photographers are able to catch that 'holy cow I love you' look that you give to your partner, but Andy is...and now I get to frame these pictures and share them with our loved ones, what could be better? Stop your search - Andy is your guy.
Andy did a fantastic job for our engagement photos and wedding photos. He went above and beyond with communicating, making our day less stressful, being personable, and taking excellent quality photos. The turn around for photos is quick too. I cannot believe how fast my husband and I got our photos back. Andy made us feel at ease and comfortable during the photo shoots. We had a pretty large bridal party and he did awesome with getting all the candid shots in along with group photos and individual photos. I came across Andy through other reviews and ratings and all were spot on. He is truly a talented photographer and I will be recommending him to all of my friends and family! Thank you, Andy, for making our day perfect and creating these photos that will forever be cherished!
Andy Carretto is the most AMAZING photographer there is around. We were so appreciative of all of the small and large gestures he did just to make my husband and I feel taken care of. From the time we first met with Andy, he did everything possible to make us feel at home. He went out of his way to meet with us before our first engagement session. We were so happy with how they turned our that we asked him to do our rehearsal dinner in addition to our wedding day. He even did my professional head shot for residency interviews! In addition to his skills and great eye for photography, Andy is the nicest and most genuine person you could ever meet. We had voiced that certain things were important to us on our special day, and he was so respectful and prioritized them without needing a second reminder. He is extremely organized and his work is beautiful. My husband and I are EXTREMELY camera shy, but somehow Andy captured the most wonderful pictures we could ever ask for. So glad we will have them for a lifetime. Pick Carretto Studio for your special day - you won't regret it! His work is bridal magazine worthy! Thanks for everything, Andy!
Andy was truly incredible! He was laid back, professional, and fun. He made our wedding pictures feel so easy and natural. We could not have asked for a better photographer. With only seeing a few pictures so far I know they will all turn out amazing. We cannot recommend Andy and Carretto Studio highly enough. Go with the best and hire them right now!
Andy was awesome to work with! He made both the engagement picture session and the wedding enjoyable! He was so relaxed even when so much was going on around him. I love how my pictures turned out! He was able to capture all the special moments in my Indian wedding. He really knows how to run a business properly - answers calls and emails promptly!
We cannot begin to express how thrilled we are with our wedding (and engagement) photographs. On a day that seems like an absolute whirlwind, Carretto Studio captured so many details and treasured moments with a great deal of professionalism, calmness, ease and tremendous talent. To say our photographs are stunning is an understatement.....like something out of a bridal magazine! We received all of our proofs so quickly as well! We are so thankful to Carretto Studio for capturing our day. We highly recommend Andy to anyone looking for an amazingly gifted photographer!!
Gorgeous photos! I knew the moment I spoke with Andy that there was no need to search any longer for a photographer. He was easy to talk to and his style of photography was EXACTLY what we wanted. We all know planning a wedding is stressful. His easy-going personality made everything so easy. He is friendly and down to Earth, but at the same time very professional. Andy is simply the best. He does an amazing job making you feel comfortable as it is a very new experience for most. We love our photos and will treasure them for the rest of our lives (both engagement and wedding). We used one of our engagement photos for our guest book and so many of our guests commented on how gorgeous the picture was! It is of the utmost importance to get a great photographer and you cannot go wrong with choosing Andy. Thanks again for everything!
Every photo Andy took for our wedding was stunning because of his skill and talent. Clearly he's an amazing photographer but he also has a sense of calm during the chaos of a wedding day/photo session. His vibe is perfect and he gives great direction. We recently got our photos back and every picture took me back to the feeling of that moment. Andy and his assistant (that day it was Shannon) captured every movement and then some. I can't say enough great things about Carretto Studio and I know I'll be working with Andy again
Amazing!!! We loved every aspect of Carretto Studio!! The planning was super easy, we live out of town and Andy was able to work around our schedules for meeting and such. He suggested great places for our photos, both my husband and I got every style photo we wanted. When it came to our family photos they were organized and able to handle my large family and crazy nieces and nephews. All around best photography experience I've had!!
WOW! I still cannot stop looking at my wedding photos. Andy and Beth photographed Brad and my wedding this Fall, and they were by far the best decision we made in terms of vendors.
Carretto Studio was remarkable, start to finish. Two months before our wedding, they sent us a questionnaire and followed up with a phone call to go over the timeline in detail. On the day of the wedding, they couldn't have been more perfect. There was a moment when I was getting ready where I became a little jittery, and Beth immediately calmed me down.
My family and wedding party loved them, and did I mention, our photos are AMAZING. We received them a month after our wedding, and still keep getting compliments. Long story short, these two are the bee's knees. They are fantastic photographers and amazing people.
Andy was really great to work with! We were from out of state, but Andy was very quick to reply to our emails and phone calls! We were a little nervous, but he was easy to work with, he made us feel relaxed, and we had a great time doing it! We love every single one of our photos and highly recommend Carretto Studio.
Carretto Studio did an absolutely amazing job on our photos! Andy was great at suggesting picture poses and going along with ridiculous poses my family suggested. He made us feel very comfortable. The pictures turned out beautiful! Would definitely recommend Carretto Studio!
Let me just preface this by saying that my parents are photographers, so finding the perfect photographer that they would approve of was no easy feat. The second we met with Andy and Beth, we knew we had found "the one"! Not only are they extremely professional, but their work is timeless and ethereal. Carretto Studio left us absolutely speechless with their flawless work! My parents were most impressed with the fact that we barely even knew they were there on the wedding day - a testament to how truly talented they are!
We can't get over how perfect our images are, and they're something we will cherish for the rest of our lives! We can't thank Carretto Studio enough for being just as invested in telling our love story as we were!
Save yourself some time and hire Carreto Studio. Being in the printing industry, I am extremely critical of pictures/images. It is my job to make sure they always look their best. After meeting Elizabeth & viewing Caretto Studio's portfolio, I knew my fiancé and I were in great hands. Elizabeth was amazing. She listened to, embraced & supported all of our wedding picture ideas and had awesome suggestions of her own. She was patient, fun and made my fiancé and I feel very comfortable from the get go. I was particularly anal about one picture I wanted with my groomsmen/ushers... Caretto Studio nailed it. The groomsmen photo turned out way better than I imagined as did every picture Elizabeth and her team captured.
Like I said, save yourself some time and hire Caretto Studio!!!
Carretto Studio went above and beyond for us. Andy Carretto was always professional, helpful, and thinking ahead. I am so happy we chose Carretto Studio to capture our Wedding Day.
Cannot say enough nice things about Carretto Studio. Always professional and made our day go perfectly!
5 stars is not enough! Andy and Beth are simply the best. Professional, laid back, and extremely organized. They captured our day so beautifully without us needing to pose for an endless amount of pictures which is exactly what we wanted out of our photographer. We are so grateful to have these stunning, classic images for years to come!
Wow! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Carretto Studio. They took couples portraits of us about a year ago. We loved them so much there was no question about who was going to photograph our wedding. We had our engagement session this past May, and once again I'm in love with all of the photographs. Their artistic perspective, use of light, and posing is top notch. It was such a wonderful experience for both Brad and I, and I absolutely cannot wait for them to photograph our wedding.
Where do I begin when describing the work of Andy and Beth? Awesome. Outstanding. Excellent. Beautiful. There are not enough adjectives in the dictionary! Carretto Studios did our engagement photos as well as wedding photos and Andy and Beth were awesome to work with. Very instructive but not overly so. They knew exactly the angle to take for each photo to make it look as exceptional as possible. They definitely do have the eye for photography and I would recommend their services to anyone looking for classy, well taken photos. Also something I really liked is that they don't really "touch up" the photos much because honestly their photos don't need it. Prints and album were off the charts. It was fun for my wife and I to relive our wedding day through our photos. Thank you Andy and Beth!
Looking for a Photographer for your special day - AMAZING? RELIABLE? PICTURE PERFECT? Andy and Beth were that and beyond. Their photos are definitely a work of art, not just your click, shoot and hope for the best type. They give GREAT instruction for the best photos. I was terrified when looking for a photographer because I am very picky as I once was doing it myself. To say they met expectation is an understatement. Not only professional but their communication is excellent from beginning to end. Quality of final product was fantastic and impressive. We did our engagement photos as well as wedding and they were worth every penny and more! They definitely have "the eye" that so many photographers think they have... but don't. I would recommend them to everyone on the planet! Tip: you get what you pay for... don't let your wedding photos be trash for saving a couple extra bucks for some huge company etc - you will not only have wasted a large amount of money but trust me... you will not only regret it - you will painfully cry when you see what they produced. Been there and done that... Andy and Beth's photos will make you tear up too... with joy and relief for sure! RECOMMENDED!
I can't take the credit for finding Carretto, but my fiancé and I were thrilled with the results. Andy made the evening smooth and enjoyable. We are looking forward to sharing our pictures for years to come. Thanks, Carretto Studios!
There is no better way to start a review about Carretto Studio than WOW. Andy is truly a one in a million photographer, and this is coming from a photography obsessed individual. Although we have not had our wedding yet, just seeing our engagement pictures make us that much more excited for our big day. There are few people that have the ability to make you laugh, feel comfortable and truly want to get to know you as a couple on a more personal level. We cannot wait to spend our wedding day with Andy and have those memories to share with our family and friends for our forever to come.
I do not even know where to begin when it comes to Carretto Studios. It is everything that every bride wants for her wedding. From the moment I found Andy on the Knot at 3 a.m. after obsessing about photographers, I noticed something different. His pictures were romantic, but not cheesy. They were artistic, but not over the top. Personally, I felt like I hit the jack pot! I then noticed how many awards he had won from various blogs and websites, and realized I was not the only person to be impressed with his work. He e-mailed me back the very next day and offered to meet with my fiance and I. We met at a cute coffee shop, where he offered to buy our ice cream! (What a gem.) We spoke with him, asked many questions, and looked through his work. After all of my hard work and research, I had found my man (besides my future husband! HA!).
We had our engagement pictures this weekend, and although the weather was terrible, Andy assured me we would get great shots. And he DID. He has always gotten back to me within a day, and had our pictures to us that SAME NIGHT after our shoot! We had such a fun day at the City Museum and the Hilton 360, and Andy helped us feel so at ease. The pictures were PHENOMENAL. The way he uses lighting, different perspectives, and his creative eye, blend together to create a masterpiece. Ever since I posted a few pictures on Facebook, my friends have been raving about how they are the best engagement pictures they have ever seen.
I simply can't wait for my wedding to be here, because I can't wait to see the pictures and relive it over and over again. After attending 14 weddings last year, I have seen how some photographers can not be what they look like on paper. Therefore, I highly recommend choosing Carretto Studios. It is one thing you will not regret!
Our pictures are absolutely perfect! They capture our wedding day exactly how we remember it. Andy and Elizabeth made us feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera. They were responsive, flexible and took time to get to know us so our pictures reflect us as a couple. I am so in love with each of our pictures that it is nearly impossible to figure out which ones will go in our house. I can't wait to continue to use Carretto to document our future together!
Beth & Andy Carretto are absolutely wonderful to work with! They’re incredibly talented photographers and they both have an eye for setting up gorgeous photos. They know how important your wedding is and they’re dedicated to creating beautiful images for you. They’re also willing to listen to your ideas to make sure you get the images you want. Andy and Beth are always professional and they made everyone feel at ease. They kept things moving so we had enough time to take a variety of photos at several locations. I LOVE all our photos! I definitely recommend Carretto Studio for your wedding!
I can't say enough about these two!
Andy and Elizabeth are truly two of the best you'll get. Not only do they have an eye for exactly what you're desiring, they are just fantastic to be around. As a couple, you will get a perspective that not many others can provide. They have two hearts that genuinely care about their clients and desire to provide the exact vision the client is after.
Their photography is stunning; the kind of pictures that you see in magazines and wish you had on your wall. With them, they make this a reality. Architecturally speaking, they can create back drops that compliment the bride and groom in ways that will capture attention.
Andy and Elizabeth should be your wedding photographer for more reasons than one so talk to them and find them all!
Andy and Beth were extremely nice from the first day that we met with them. They got a feel for who we were as a couple and really listened to what we wanted in our pictures for our wedding. Great first impression! They also bared the snow and cold for our engagement pictures. They helped make great memories for us on our wedding day. From the pictures of us getting ready to the first look, everything felt organized and more calm because of them. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!
Andy and Elizabeth did an awesome job with our wedding and I would highly recommend them! They came up with creative ideas for photos and helped us both remain clam during stressful times before the wedding! We had a huge wedding party and they were able to coordinate and organize everyone in all the group photos beautifully. The were super accommodating and split up during certain parts of the day so that we could get pictures of both the bridesmaids and the groomsmen getting ready. Elizabeth also got stuck with our crazy wedding party on the bus while Andy got amazing pictures of our reception venue before our guest arrived! :)
First off, let me start by saying that Andrew and Elizabeth are absolutely incredible photographers. Both exhibit an outstanding talent at taking the most beautiful pictures! My wife and I were married on June 29, 2013 and we were fortunate enough to be able to work with Andrew and Elizabeth! They treated us both like royalty! Throughout the entire day both Andy and Elizabeth were able to make us feel comfortable, and special. They were never invasive, or in our faces during the ceremony, they were instead gracious and conscious of their surroundings the entire day (a rarity amongst wedding photographers). A touch of rain forced us to rethink one of our picture locations, but Andy and Elizabeth were on the job and they quickly suggested and alternative which turned out to be a wonderful decision! Something my wife and I truly admire about Andy and Elizabeth is that they are passionate about their art, but they are both just so nice and gracious about everything! We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect set of photographers, they are truly the best at what they do! Thank you so much guys!!
After some research, my husband and I decided to book Carretto Studio for our fall wedding. The package came with a free engagement session which I thought it was an awesome idea to get to know each other and prepare for the wedding photo shots.
It was also nice to have 2 photographers, Andrew and Elizabeth made
made us feel so comfortable and at ease. They both have an eye and appreciation for detail, we absolutely adore all of our pictures and we are thrilled that we chose Carretto Studio to capture the happiest day of our lives.
It was worth every penny and we will cherish all the photos for a lifetime!
I would highly recommend Carretto Studio to any couple that is planning to get married. You won't be disappointed!
Our experience with Carretto Studio was excellent! Elizabeth and Andy were professional and personable from start to finish. They were very easy to work with, in tune with our style, and listened to our ideas. Their creativity and innovative photography produced some truly gorgeous shots that we could not have imagined. We were very pleased with the final product and have already referred friends. Many thanks to Carretto Studio for capturing our wedding memories so beautifully!
When my husband and I started looking for photographers for our wedding we wanted to find the perfect people to capture the "real" us. Well we found them after meeting with 5 different photographers. The first time we met them them they were so professional and genuine. Every couple looks for their wedding day to be everything they imagined and the Carrettos helped make this possible. They went above and beyond to help make our day run smoothly. They used the input we had, and really captured the feeling we wanted on our day. Not even 2 weeks after the wedding they had all of our pictures ready for us and they were absolutely beautiful and more then we could have hoped for. Their kindness and relaxed demure made it easy for us to enjoy every minute. After your wedding day is over all you have left are the memories and photos. Because of Carretto Studio and their unbelievable photographs we will be able to relive that day forever.
My husband and I found Carretto Studios online, meet with them at a cute ice cream shop, and immediately knew that we wanted to use them as our photographers. They are personable and so talented. We were very happy with our wedding photos.
It is so easy to get overwhelmed when shopping for wedding photographers in St. Louis...there are just so many. I found a photographer that I liked, only to find that she was unavailable on our date. That photographer recommended the Carretto's, stating, "If I had to do my wedding again, these are the people that I would want to photography my big day." When a fellow professional recommends them, you know they have to be good. Boy was she right! I am so thankful for her recommendation because the Carretto's work and professionalism were so much more than we could have hoped for.
Andy and Elizabeth are two of the greatest people. They are kind, personable, and so very talented. They are both lead photographers resulting in two times the fantastic photos. Our largest problem with the Carretto's was that they produced so many fantastic images that we can't decide which to have printed! These two know St. Louis and were full of ideas for wonderful locations to shoot. They easily understood and made our visions come to life.
What I love most about their photography is that it truly told the story of our day. It is so detailed that you really don't even need a videographer. You can trust them to capture every moment and detail. We have gotten nothing but compliments and, "Oooohs and ahhhhhs," on our images. Multiple people have even said the pictures look like they belong in a bridal magazine!
Bottom line: If you are getting married in St. Louis and you do not use the Carretto's, you are making a huge mistake!!!
Andy & Elizabeth were so great to work with! They helped capture our wedding day perfectly. We could not be happier with how our photos turned out. We have received so many compliments on their work. They have such great ideas and are very talented!
My wife and I are so happy with our wedding photos - they are phenomenal! The Carrettos were very flexible with our schedule which was a huge help during the planning period. They were able to recommend great locations for wedding day photos and planned backup locations in case of inclement weather. They are very punctual and reliable - one less thing to worry about on the wedding day. Choose Andy and Elizabeth and you will not be disappointed with the results!
Andy and Elizabeth did an amazing job shooting our wedding day. We are so happy with the resulting photos and are very thankful for their commitment to capturing those special moments. They were very professional through the planning process and day of the wedding. I appreciated their excellent communication with me and my husband leading up to the wedding. Also, they worked with us to create a detailed schedule of the day which kept us on track for the wedding. To all future bride/grooms, I highly recommend Carretto Studios!
The Carrettos did an amazing job! We were blown away by how hard they worked throughout the day and how quickly we received our pictures. Throughout the entire process, they were really easy to work with and we are thrilled with how the engagement and wedding pictures turned out.
When my husband and I first looked around for a photographer, we knew that we couldn't just settle for any photographer because we wanted to have amazing, detailed, gorgeous, and classic photographs to show our friends, family, and - some day - our kids. We wanted to be proud of the images captured, but most importantly, we wanted to know that - in the future - when we look back at our images, we would be reminded of our best day ever and also be happy we went with the photographer we chose. Carretto Studio exceeded all of our expectations the very first day we met with them, and I knew for a fact that I did not want to work with any other photographer. Andy and Elizabeth are friendly, personable, professional, and so much fun to work with that, at times, you forget that they're there to capture your wedding day. They make everyone - from the family to the wedding party - feel comfortable and at ease. If you're still looking for a photographer(s) who will - no doubt - give you some of the most beautiful and creative work of art, then I highly recommend choosing Andy and Elizabeth. You'll definitely be working with two of the best photographers in St. Louis!
Carretto Photography captured my wedding perfectly! They met with us before hand to hear exactly what we wanted. On the day, they were the perfect combination of assertive and polite. And when it turned out to be raining, they already had a contingency plan in place. The photos are stunning--they captured some amazing memories for us. Carretto is shooting my sister's wedding this fall and my entire family can't wait to see them again!
When my husband and I first began planning our wedding, selecting a photographer was one of our first priorities yet we were clueless where to begin the process. I feel so lucky that a friend of my mother recommended Carretto Studio. We then met with Elizabeth and Andy at an adorable coffee shop, which is when we saw evidence of their strong background in photography, professional and friendly demeanors, and gorgeous photos they shared with us from past weddings. We left with confidence, knowing we could trust these photographers to capture the special moments and details of our wedding.
It has been almost a month since our wedding and we couldn’t be happier with our photos! They are stunning! Our wedding day was the best day of our lives and to relive that day through these photos is priceless. Thank you, Elizabeth and Andy, for sharing your talent and love of photography with us!
It's hard to put into words how fantastic Andy and Beth are, as people and as photographers. Not only did we really enjoy getting to know them, but they also took amazing, fantastic, beautiful pictures on our wedding day. They were the one piece of the wedding I was 100% confident in, I never had a doubt that the pictures would be anything less than fabulous. That being said, they far exceeded our expectations. They made us feel at ease, and were never intrusive or in the way. Even guests of the wedding made comments about how professional and great they were. We have already given their business cards to several other friends who are planning weddings and will continue to recommend them to people in the future. We can't thank them enough!!
Carretto Studio is going to be the best choice you make all day concerning your wedding! (Well except the marriage part :) ) but for real they were the best! The pictures are amazing and look like they came straight out of a magazine! We are having a hard time narrowing down our favorite pictures for our album because there are that many incredible ones! Andy and Elizabeth were amazing to work with and I would hire them to take pictures for everything I ever need in life! They definitely know what they are doing! This is their forte and you could not make a better choice!
Andy and Beth are fantastic photographers and people. They worked really hard and listened to what we wanted to capture during our day. They did just that. The photos were beautiful. I also felt that they were there to help in any way they could-even if it didn't involve photography.
Photography was one of the most important elements for us as we planned our wedding. We couldn't be happier with our decision to go with Carretto Studio for our engagement and wedding photos. Not only are Beth and Andy all around awesome people, they are professional, easy to work with, and they have a great eye for capturing a moment while telling your wedding day story. We've received so many compliments from family and friends on our photos. Thank you!
What an amazing team of photographers, life saving even! Well, that is how it felt when our first photographers left us in a bind by backing out just 2 months before the wedding we were panicked. Luckily Andy and Beth were recommended to us and we couldn't have been happier. From our first meeting we totally clicked with them and appreciated that, also being fairly newly weds, they knew exactly what we were about to go through. They helped work out a great package for us since we didn't have time for a lot of the extras like engagement photos. We had a beautiful and joyous day and they captured it perfectly. They were even able to make my silly self look fierce. ;) I would, and do, highly recommend Carretto Studios and know we have found the only photographers we will ever need or want to work with!
