Leaving the corporate world, I built my own path, supported by a talented team. I'm a Certified Professional Photographer and a Craftsman through Professional Photographers of America. In 2014, David and I adopted two baby girls, fueling my passion for adoption. I love boating, HGTV, traveling, and pressure washing:-)

She also helps manage our client communication and followup. Being quick and responsive is one of our main priorities. For as long as she can remember she has had a passion for both taking pictures and getting inspiration from other artists' work. In 2004 she took some photography classes and began working, and learning with other talented photographers. She is always observing, anticipating, and capturing natural unscripted moments.

Carrie is INCREDIBLE! Not only is she genuinely the sweetest person ever, she is so detailed and patient. The most efficient photo session ever, and that was with twin 2 year olds and a 4 year old! She instantly made my kids feel calm, she captured their natural childlike essence and went with the flow (minor tantrums and all) to ensure she got some really cute candids too. I loved not feeling “staged” and the pictures came out amazing. It was honestly so hard to pick between them all. You truly can not go wrong booking Carrie for any photography needs.

Carrie is amazing!! We are so happy with our engagement & weddings photos! We could not recommend her more for photography in the Tampa Bay Area. Carrie is professional, friendly, and so kind. Any questions I had she was always quick to respond. She got us all of our wedding photos back so quickly (about a 5 week turnaround time). She was also very efficient day of with group photos after the ceremony and got all the shots we wanted. The best part is the guided artwork experience! She above and beyond with this and is what really stood out to me when looking for a wedding photographer! It makes it so easy to go through hundreds of photos and pick out the perfect wedding album. I know without her help we would be months before making any decisions. Thank you Carrie!

Carrie is awesome! When we were searching for our wedding photographer, we knew what we wanted. Someone with good communication, easy to share ideas with and obviously a skilled photographer. Many vendors we sought out did not have all three. Carrie was extremely quick with responses to questions and helpful referring vendors. She had many great tips and timeline suggestions. Our engagement and wedding pictures were amazing. Carrie and Linda were quite the duo. Knowing how chaotic weddings can be they did their best to accommodate everything we had wanted to shoot.

Looking for a wedding photographer can be scary business, as prices can range from $1000. to well over $15000.0. Carrie was referred to us by our venue. She was amazing from the first email sent she was responsive and answered promptly any and all questions we had no matter how silly they seemed to us she always answered respectfully and professionally. I knew she was our photographer from my first meeting with her we just got along great and that to me is important when someone will be photographing your special day. She had great ideas for our engagement shoot as we wanted to include our little one in the photos as well, she even got some great shots of just him. We also wanted a unique guest book as we did not want our engagement photos to just sit in a box somewhere and she had the perfect idea she took photos we picked out from our engagement shoot and put them in a book guests could sign. Such a great idea. Working with Carrie on the wedding day was so much fun and a breeze, we have found our photographer for life. Her attention to detail is like no other. We are so excited to see our full gallery just the sneak peeks she has put up in less than a week after our wedding are stunning. Thank you Carrie! <3

We knew during the wedding planning process that finding a photographer that captures your day and matches your personality was important. We loved meeting Carrie and how fun, energetic and passionate she is. Her gallery was full of bright photos showing the happiness of those celebrating their perfect day. We knew Carrie was perfect!
This was validated when we did our engagement photos. We did the engagement photos as a special family location. It was a truly hot Florida day and even under the heat – we had a great time and loved how the photos came out.
During the rest of the wedding planning, Carrie helped making recommendations on timeline. Everything day of the wedding went perfect. Our family and friends all loved working with Carrie and Linda. Carrie knew all the great spots at Isla del Sol to get the perfect pictures. In addition to the photos, Carrie also captured behind the scenes and teaser pictures and videos for social media – our family and friends have all commented on how amazing these were to see right after the wedding!
Thank you Carrie and Linda for capturing our perfect day – these memories will last a lifetime!

I could never run out of great things to say about Carrie! We were referred to her through our venue (Nova 535), and it became clear during our first phone call that she was the right choice for us. And she absolutely was!
Carrie is incredibly talented, but even more than that, she is a joy to work with. She is so fun and kind, and clearly very experienced. She really just got us as a couple, and she both understood and beautifully captured our vision for our somewhat unconventional delayed wedding reception. She did a great job handling the large crowd and unusual family dynamics, and we got multiple comments from our family and guests on how wonderful she was. We had so much fun working with her and we could not be happier with how our photos have turned out.

Carrie and her team are amazing! As a mom of a bride, I really appreciated the professionalism and quick responses to emails and phone calls. Carrie helped my daughter and her fiancé feel relaxed not only during their engagement shoot but also during their wedding day. She read their “vibe” and created a photoshoot to match.
I loved that we could throw anything at her like doing a “Save the Date Card” (see attached), “Printing Photos for our Gift Card Box” and “Thank You Cards”. And, she immediately put it into action to make it happen. Now that is one stop shopping at its best.
A photographer has a very intimate role who spends the entire day with the Bride & Groom and their family. We were so happy to spend the day with Carrie and Linda.

Carrie and her team are experts in the industry and do everything to make the photography portion of your wedding stress-free. We worked with Miriam for our engagement shoot and wedding. Everything was GORGEOUS! She took the time to walk around to all of the spots we wanted to shoot in front of and was truly flexible on-site to cover everything we wanted. Carrie took care of all of the contracting, paperwork and other details - always incredibly responsive and helpful! Highly recommend this company for ANY sort of photo shoot - they made our wedding memories truly perfect!

Carrie is solo amazing to work with. She always answers emails quickly, is super sweet and made sure that my wedding planning and day were perfect. My photography team- Miriam and Greta were simply amazing. Miriam was the lead photographer and she captured every moment of my day and was so easy to work with. She made sure to get every picture that was on my shot list. She was fun and made sure we were comfortable. Greta made sure to get all the room and detail shots and also got some of my husband and his groomsmen which is not an easy task. Carrie Wildes Photography not only made sure my day was perfect, but made sure that I will always be able to relive the best day of my life through their photographs.

I can't say enough about Carrie Wildes and her staff.. they are truly, hands down incredible people! From day one, Carrie was extremely kind and helpful to me and put us in the best hands with Kandice. We had some fun and rather unique ideas when it came to photos and Kandice was onboard 100% through it all. She was professional, fun, friendly, and so personable. Wayne and I loved working with Kandice as well as our bridal party and family.. we received so many compliments on our photos and Kandice after the wedding. Her and Ana were able to capture such gorgeous photos even when the weather did not always cooperate. When I was anxious and nervous, Kandice kept me calm and never let me worry.. no matter what was going on, she always managed to capture the amazing shot! Carrie is extremely professional and helpful and always answered every question. She definitely made the photo process easy for Wayne and I. Carrie Wildes Photography is very highly recommended!!

We were recommended Carrie Wildes Photography through our venue and couldn't have been any happier with the results! We got all our photos back in a timely manner and have so many good ones to choose from. During the wedding they were fun to be around and were able to capture great photos without us even noticing that they were there taking the shot. Our main photographer was Kandice who did our engagement and wedding photos and she did a wonderful job!

We live in Chicago but got married on Clearwater Beach, FL. It is a little stressful finding vendors when you don't know many people in the area to ask or when you're not able to walk in and meet with them face to face. Carrie Wildes Photography was one of our venue's recommendations so I researched a little about them and also read reviews. From the very beginning of working with Carrie, it was seamless and stress free. It was great that they've shot so many events at my venue so they were familiar with the surroundings, and the flow of the day. Carrie was quick to respond with any type of communication or question I had, and when she introduced me to my lead photographer, Kandice, a few months before, she was just as accommodating and sweet. On the day of, Kandice and Haley were great! They helped capture all of the pictures we wanted as well as made us feel comfortable and relaxed. I had a brief "freak out" moment when it felt impossible to get our families together for a picture, and with kids crying not wanting to take pictures, but Kandice and Haley were calm and professional. I would definitely recommend Carrie Wildes Photography for anything you need photography for!

We used Carrie Wildes photography for both our engagement session and our wedding and we were so blown away. I teared up several times going through the reveal of our photos. They truly captured the best moments of our special day!! Carrie was so sweet at our first meeting and for our reveal. she really made us feel like we were just old friends. She sincerely cared about the details of our wedding, and even gave us ideas and tips that really were outside the scope of her business. She is so genuine. Kandice was our lead photographer, along with Haley and Meridith. They were absolutely amazing. Kandice worked with me while getting ready, and Haley/Meridith worked with my husband and the guys. They all made us feel really comfortable while taking candid shots, many times we forgot they were even there. They all really have such a great eye for finding the best lighting with the best backgrounds. Some of our favorite shots were done at night and they looked absolutely magical. We will without a doubt continue to use Carrie Wildes Photography for all the other important events in our life. I promise you, you will not be disappointed! Choosing Carrie Wildes will be the easiest decision you make during your wedding planning process! From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much Carrie, Kandice, Haley, and Meridith!! :)

I met Carrie many years ago through my job, and instantly fell in love with her work. I told myself when I got married, no matter what, I HAD to have her photographing the day! After I had booked my venue and nailed down a date, I emailed her. I got a personal response within a couple of hours, and she was as excited to hear from me as I was to email her! We set up a meeting and she was even more amazing than I remembered.
We were doing a destination wedding, and Carrie insisted she was going to do it herself. She was so excited to be visiting an area she'd never been to before! Together, we made arrangements for Carrie and her husband (who officiated for us) to travel to the resort and stay. She made us feel completely at ease during engagement photos, and it was a great opportunity for us all to get to know each other. The entire process from booking to wedding day was perfectly smooth and she was nothing but patient and sweet throughout.
We are so excited to see our photos!

We found CWP through our wedding venue’s preferred vendor list and it’s easy to understand why they’re preferred. After we saw the work on their website, we knew they were the ones. We were in need of both engagement and wedding photos and CWP was able to offer a package to meet all our needs. We were highly impressed with the professionalism from start to finish. Never once were we treated as clients but more like friends or family.
Our primary photographer was Kandice. She probably wondered what she got into when we wanted to meet her prior to signing the contract but it was important for us to feel comfortable with the photographer. When it came time for engagement photos, we had a special request location. Kandice arranged permission and scouted the location ahead of time so the shoot would go perfectly – and it did. The photos were incredible!
In preparation for the main event, Kandice stayed in touch with us to ensure she understood just what we were looking for. She even took a last minute idea in stride when we asked her to coordinate a “last dance” just a few days before the wedding. On the day of, Kandice and Rachel were both professional and in charge. Many guests commented later how impressed they were with the photographers’ work ethic. The wedding day was a cool, rainy February Saturday but both Kandice and Rachel were troopers braving the weather to make sure we had amazing photos to capture our most unforgettable moments. Their talent and expertise came to the forefront with some breathtaking photos with the raindrops frozen in midair around us.
We would highly recommend CWP for any photography needs. We came to them for engagement and wedding photos but we anticipate they’ll be our go-to photographers for many years to come.

Carrie Wildes Photography was by far my favorite vendor to work with throughout the wedding planning process! Working with Carrie leading up to the wedding (and engagement shoot) was easy and efficient. Linda was our photographer for both, and she was wonderful to work with - and so talented! They are professional and easy to work with. Linda did a wonderful job wrangling my large bridal party for portraits and whatnot on the wedding day, even with a cold. The photos are perfect, and she captured all of the highlights from the big day. I highly recommend Carrie Wildes for any photography needs!

We initially found Carrie Wildes Photography because of a referral from a friend’s wedding photos that we thought were breathtaking. From the first day we spoke with Carrie, to our wedding day with photographers Kandice and Hailey, we were wowed by their professionalism, thoughtfulness and work ethic.
On the day of our wedding, Kandice and Hailey went above and beyond to make sure that each photo was gorgeous - you can tell that they truly love what they do. The bridal party and a number of our wedding guests actually came up to us and commented on how noticeably dedicated our photographers were - and we couldn’t have agreed more. Kandice was with me and my bridesmaids throughout the day and we could not have asked for a kinder and more talented photographer - the groom and his groomsmen felt the same about Hailey as well. All in all, we are so grateful to Kandice and Hailey for photographing our special day - we cannot imagine our wedding day without them. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer, definitely pick Carrie Wildes Photography.

These two girls, Kandice and Haley were absolutely AMAZING. Kandice did our engagement shoot and was also the lead photographer for our wedding. They were so professional and timely and VERY non-intrusive. Half the time I had no idea they were even there. They took beautiful pictures with excellent quality. Kandice got to my hotel early for getting ready pictures, and was even prepared when I was a hurried mess and late to the venue. Haley got the guys' pictures while they were getting ready as well. They were amazing. Professional, quick, and SO SO SO friendly. Kandice always assured me that everything was ok, and even directed my clumsy non-photogenic self on what to do for certain shots. I love this company. They are so friendly it honestly feels like you are working with a friend.

I can't begin the heartbreak I had with this photographer- as I read all of the wonderful things others have said, it hurts. I don't know if our photographer had a bad day or what, but our experience was a nightmare. Our guests still talk about the rude photographer- which is not the lasting impression any bride wants. I originally choose Carrie Wildes photography because they had shot my venue about 6 times and I wanted a photographer familiar with our site as there is a bunch of cool hidden spots. I expressed this to owner, Carrie during our initial meeting. However, Carrie sent Linda to do our wedding- a photographer who had never been to the site, against my request for a photographer who knew my site. Even worse, though she arrived early- she did my portraits and bridesmaids in a meeting room, though the yacht club had gardens, a dock and other much more beautiful areas. When my mom asked that we change areas she refused! Even worse, she had no organization the rest of the night- my family had to carry her tripod, she sat with her camera on her hip instead of helping to organize photographs, and even insulted me! She criticized me for having my cocktail hour in the same place as my ceremony (on the beach), saying "Your wedding is a mess- usually the cocktail hour is separate from the ceremony". She did not help at all making sure people were lined up and smiling- my photographs are terrible! She would shoot two pictures for each group shot with no directions. We had a sunset beach wedding- and not one picture of a sunset!!! NOT ONE! That's wedding photography 101! In the end- with two photographers there for about 6 hours- we only received about 750 pictures- that's it! When I began my complaints to the owner, she got very defensive and snapped that Linda had gotten there early which is like a $400 value- I laughed because I requested a photographer familiar with my site- damn straight she should be there early! Don't hire this company!

Carrie Wildes and team were a joy to work with. Not only was she organized, professional and upbeat, but she was also invaluable in giving advice about the different venues she'd worked in before, as well as pointing me in the right direction when searching for possible videographers. This is all in addition to the amazing photos she created - they are truly stunning. I had asked her to be unobtrusive, as I'm camera shy, and just capture our wedding story as it unfolded. She did an amazing job at making the groom and I feel comfortable while still capturing the key moments / details that I'd told her were important to me. Highly, highly recommended.

My husband and I recently did our destination wedding in Clearwater Beach. We found out about Carrie Wildes photography based on a preferred vendor list from our venue. However, it was in our conference call with Carrie that we decided we definitely wanted to use Carrie Wildes Photography as our wedding day photographer. Carrie took time to answer all of our questions via the phone that day, and was always available by phone or email to answer any additional questions we had. When my fiance and I went to Florida a few months prior to our wedding, Sylense met with us and explained how the photography works on our wedding day, showed us some photographs of weddings done at our venue so we could get some ideas of what we liked, as well as patiently waited while I went though many fabrics to choose my wedding album. On our wedding day, Sylense was our lead photographer, and Linda also was there photographing as well. Both Sylense and Linda were a pleasure to work with!! They both have a way about them that helps to make people feel comfortable and at ease, and they were unobtrusive around our guests as well so they didn't feel bombarded by pictures. Sylense also helped to keep us on track to be sure we got all our key moments (cake cutting, sunset pictures, etc.) done before our photography ended that evening. Sylense and Linda are both true professionals and I can't say enough good things about them! If you chose to use Carrie Wildes Photography for your wedding pictures, you won't regret it!! Carrie and her photography team are fantastic!!! Our sneak peak pictures are beautiful, and my husband and I (as well as our family and friends) are excited to see the rest of our pictures and wedding album soon too!

Where do I begin?!?!? Carrie Wildes Photography team was a pure joy to work with from the very start!!! I honestly can’t say enough about Carrie and her team. We happened upon Carrie’s team at a local bridal show at the Davis Island Garden Club, it was fate I’m certain, and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made choosing them to shoot our wedding, right next to marrying my hubby! Our photos came out gorgeous, honestly, beyond words…simply breathtaking.
My mother and I met with Carrie at their office in Lutz—everything was so professional, yet extremely comfortable. The team makes you feel so welcome and you can feel how excited and passionate they all are about what they do. After our first meeting with Carrie we received a little ‘thank you’ note and a sweet little Starbucks gift card. This may not seem like much, but to me it was just the icing on the cake. I’m all about the little things, they were fabulous every step of the way and kept in touch with us along our journey towards the big day. Any changes, wishes or requests were taken with stride and ease which made me feel all the more comfortable and confident in my choice.
Flash forward to our big day, after combing through all the details, Sylense and Linda were our photographers. They were absolutely marvelous, remarkable, extraordinary….words cannot begin to describe!!! They were both so easy to work with, friendly and made everyone feel so comfortable throughout the whole process. I want live the day all over again because of how magnificent everything was….especially our superb photography team. WE LOVE YOU!!!!
If you are getting married…truthfully…there is no other choice…Carrie and her team are the absolute best. Thank you for capturing our fairy tale.

Carrie was wonderful to work with. We actually had Sylense as our lead photographer on our wedding day and she was wonderful. Great pictures and highly recommended vendor.

My husband, Ryan, and I did not plan to have a videographer at our wedding. So, the photography was that much more important to us as that was the way we chose to capture our memories from our day. Carrie is so incredibly talented, kind, creative, and business-savvy. There are a ton of options that you can choose from in terms of packages. Just take a look at her work and you will quickly see that she has an innate talent for capturing the emotion in such a unique way in her photos. We could not be happier and I am still amazed when I look back at our photos. Each time I see something new that I hadn't seen before.
Thank you Carrie for everything!

Carrie was great to work with and we are so impressed with the photos. If she can make an unphotogenic person like me look good there is nothing she cannot do!

I can't begin to explain how happy my husband and I were that we found Carrie to be our photographer! Her and her team are very professional and amazing at what they do! They give direction so well without making you feel nervous. We loved our engagement pictures and wedding photos! I highly recommend her to everyone!

I absoutley love our wedding pictures! I've had many people comment that some of them look as though they should be in wedding magazines. Sylense was our main photographer, along with a second shooter, and they were both so easy to work with. Carrie was also great to work with during the planning process. We actually found out about Carrie Wildes before our wedding planning started because our friends used them for their wedding.
I realized once we got our pictures back that there weren't any taken of my hubby and I with our officiant or with my husband's Aunt that did a reading during the ceremony. I really wish that one of the photographers, or myself, would have thought to take these pictures. We have some from during the ceremony, but not any after. Also, we didn't realize this at the time of booking, but our package included the engagement shoot, but not any of the pictures from the session. The pictures were quite expensive to purchase. I wish these would have been included, or a little less expensive to purchase the digital copies.
We are so happy with our decision to book Carrie Wildes Photography. Just take a look at the work on the website and blog, and you will see that Carrie and her team take great pride in their work!

Carrie and her team capture photos to tell a story, so you won't get ho-hum photos. I enjoyed working with her, as she was prepared and professional!

We looked at a lot of photographers for the wedding and always went back to Carrie. The quality of her photos were worth paying a little more. Can't wait to see them!

Carrie and her team were wonderful to work with and have a great artistic eye for photography. I couldn't be happier with our decision to go with Carrie. Carrie was easy to talk to and over all the details when we met with her before booking. She also met with us to go through the engagement photos and we were able to make those into a guest book for the wedding, she is very professional and know what she is doing. We worked with Sylense for our engagement session and wedding and she did an amazing job. She made us feel comfortable and made sure we had fun in the process. She has a great eye for photos and the pictures came out great. Sylense and Linda shot our wedding photos and I could be happier with how the day went. We went over some ideas i had in mind for photos beforehand and Sylense had a list of great ideas she came up with as well. I love the photos I have seen so far and can't wait to see the rest of them. I would definitely recommend Carrie Wildes and her team to anyone looking for an amazing photographer.

Carrie is so creative and fun to have as a photographer. We had our unveiling session last week and ALL of our photos are beautiful! The best thing about Carrie is she captures the most unique and natural photos without you even being aware she is there. She really has an eye for the perfect shot and is quite talented. She just gets it!

Carrie and her colleagues are a talented and very pleasant team. At no point did we have any trouble working with them. Carrie met with us from the beginning and gave us wonderful ideas for unique and lovely shots for our engagement and wedding sessions. She made us feel comfortable throughout and made sure we enjoyed every minute of it. I would recommend Carrie and her team to anyone looking for a photographer with a creative and artistic eye that will capture your memories better than you could have imagined.

I cannot even begin to explain how amazing Carrie Wildes is! I researched a lot of photographers before my wedding and I knew that I wanted Carrie from the first time I saw her pictures- they are absolutely gorgeous and exactly the style of photography that I wanted for my wedding pictures. Once I had my phone consultation with her, I made the decision to hire her. She’s so sweet and you can tell just from talking to her that she truly loves what she does. We did an engagement shoot with her and she was so easy to work with. The engagement photos came out great! Carrie was great about getting back to me whenever I emailed her with questions, no matter how many times I emailed her. And the best part is that my wedding pictures were absolutely beautiful! I could not have asked for anyone better. Throughout the wedding, Carrie and her assistant were professional, unobtrusive, and friendly. They didn’t miss anything and the pictures were exactly what I wanted! I highly recommend Carrie and am so glad that I chose her!

For anyone looking for that personal touch, Carrie Wildes Photography is great! Carrie herself is such a sweet woman. She was always quick to respond to my e-mails and calls with any questions or concerns I had. The photographers that actual worked the wedding were so sweet and just added to the fun atmosphere me and my bridal party had created that day. I have only seen my sneak peaks so far which were up the week after I got back from my honeymoon and so far we are so happy with them! I would definitely recommend!

Carrie is not only an amazing photographer, but she is a wonderful person. So sweet and makes you feel very comfortable. Our engagement shots and wedding photos (what I have seen so far) could not have turned out better.

Carrie is a gifted and talented photographer and I was honored to have her as my photographer on my big day. She is such a pleasure to work with. I really wanted unique photos and not the typical cliche wedding shots. She gave me just that and more!

Carrie was worth every dime. Out of all our vendors, she was most laid back and easy to work with, while being extremely personable as well as professional. I can not say enough about her personality- she is wonderful! She is also a rockstar- anytime I would tell people who our photographer was, I would get "oohs" and "ahhs", which I believe speaks highly of her work. Our engagement session and "sneaks" have been amazing. She was also super flexible, and she did our engagement session 7 months after booking her and only 2 months before our wedding! We also brought our dog which she worked so well with. She really got some beautiful shots, and since we are the most un-model like people, we couldn't pose if we tried, speaks volumes for her. We interviewed a lot of photographers and I can't be happier we chose her. These pictures will be wonderful to look at for years to come.

Carrie is absolutely wonderful and I would recommend her to anyone! We are from out of town and finding a photographer was the one thing that I was worried about the most. She was great to work with, was always there to answer questions or make suggestions and delivered a fabulous final product. She really made my husband and I feel comfortable from the first time we met her at our engagement session all the way through receiving our final images.

Carrie is an amazing photographer. She managed to capture all of the emotions of the day in a way that is real and honest. We are in awe of the details of the images she saw. We couldn't be happier.
