I deliver authentic storytelling of your wedding day with several goals in mind - To be genuine, faithful to your personalities, and to document the bond you have with one other and convey a story that resonates in your heart. I'm here to share your love story through kick ass photos! I'm an award winning luxury and celebrity wedding photographer, but I also shoot commercial and advertising for the likes of Netflix, Disney, The Smithsonian Museum, MTV, Nestle, and a bunch of others, so my work is a bit unique in that those influences add something different to the wedding images I shoot, giving them a a cinematic flair with thoughtful editorial intention.
My work as straddles the cinematic and photojournalism genres. I'm obsessed with framing my subjects in light and shadow and incorporate it as an additional 'character' in your story. These elements create mood, depth, nuance, passion, mystery, contrast and harmony.
My weddings have been featured in The Hollywood Reporter, Inside Weddings Magazine, Exquisite Weddings Magazine, The Knot, Brides, California Wedding Day and many others, truly an honor! The Knot has awarded me 'Best of Wedding' 2018-2021, and very proud to be a member of The Knot's Hall of Fame :)

Photography is such an important piece of the wedding, being that it's one of the only physical memories after your special day. Working with Fitz was absolutely wonderful. Fitz wa...
s communicative, helpful, and his creative vision was just what we wanted. Fitz suggested ideas out of the wedding norm, and they all gave great photos. From our engagement session to day of wedding, Fitz was awesome to work with. He always made us feel comfortable and provided great feedback on poses/being natural. We could not wait to get our wedding photos, and it was so worth it. The photos are beyond amazing and better than we could have even imagined. We would recommend Fitz to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. Thank you so much, Fitz, it was a pleasure!
You get what you pay for, y'all!!!
My husband and I decided we wanted to spend a good portion of our budget on the photographer, since the photos are what lasts a lifetime, and I...
am so glad we did.
Fitz is experienced, communicates well, and executes flawlessly, but what really sets him apart is his eye. I have an BFA (fine art degree) and worked in advertising for several years - I know good composition when I see it, and Fitz is one of the best. He will take spontaneous moments and absolutely nail it. Our families were completely blown away by the end result. Hire him - you won't regret it!!
Fitz did a fantastic job! My wife and I got married in early December and Fitz made everything as smooth as possible. He kept calm and took charge during our timeframe, making sure...
he got us in the perfect lighting in multiple different photo areas. We didn't feel like we were crunched for time at any point in the day. We rented a 1950s convertible and at one point he even stopped traffic in the middle of the road to get pics of us at perfect angles. He is also super responsive, keeping a clear and open line of communication with us before and after the wedding as well. So far we have a sneak peak of the photos and they are awesome! Can't wait to see the full album.
Hiring Fitz as our photographer was easily one of the best decisions we made during the planning process! Both our engagement and wedding photos turned out so wonderfully and we've...
received countless compliments from friends and family. He is super detail oriented and creative but still manages to make the entire process easy and fun. Would recommend him to anyone!
Fitz did an amazing job from start to finish with our wedding day. His communication was clear, his pricing was upfront and reasonable, and the final product was amazing! He was ...
flexible with every turn that Covid and normal wedding planning threw at us and he did so with patience and grace. We are so grateful for his talent and that we were lucky enough to snag him for our wedding day! A true pleasure to work for and an amazing talent behind the lense.
Fitz is not only a kind human being, he's such a talented and truly exceptional photographer. His photos are superior to anything I've seen.
He's not your typical "wedding photog...
rapher" in the sense that nothing felt over-done, over-produced, over-directed... no pose was held too long or made to feel awkward or inauthentic. He brought out the best in everyone and made everyone around him as comfortable as possible.
I've been to weddings where it felt like the photographer "ran the show" but Fitz and his assistant, Pam, moved fluidly with the spontaneity of the moment, the people, and environment. Their presence was nearly imperceptible during our wedding which to me, is a sign of a good photographer.
He has an extremely creative eye and really goes above and beyond to get "the shot" — and every single photo that he produces, whether digital or polaroid, feels like that. We trusted his vision and in return, he gave us such a gift — the authenticity of the moments (the ones you want captured and the ones you don't even know are happening.)
Thank you, Fitz, for taking such an active role in our wedding before, during & after to ensure that we can remember the best parts of our special day.
Fitz is caring, attentive and above all, an incredible creative professional. There's absolutely no reason why you shouldn't hire him for your special event.
Fitz is a type of photographer whom commits to his artistry and unique taste in photo deliverables and really sticks to his style. If you've been scrolling through thousands of bri...
ght, blown out background wedding photos and stopped scrolling at Fitz's photo, you probably have an answer already of who to hire to photograph your special day.
Fitz stayed loyal with our commitment even after 2 Pandemic wedding date pushes and venue changes. He delivered amazing photos and I didn't have to tell him much to do. If you have specific poses you need to have delivered, make sure to mention to him though.
He's a calm, collect, and observant shooter and even when doing family photos with 75+ guests he took the time to compose shots and gave directions to the subjects, which led to great group photos you really want.
During the events, he stayed unnoticed. I didn't even know he was there. I was able to be myself and he captured images and moments without having the guests be on an alert that a camera is pointed at them.
Overall I'm incredibly happy with his work. Especially when you are doing your wedding for the first time, get someone who's dependable and trustworthy. Hire Fitz.
I cannot say enough good things about fitz! When we were looking for a wedding photographer we were immediately drawn to fitz' photography style, its extremely artistic and moody, ...
and cinematic. Not the typical photography you see every day and that's exactly what we wanted. He was very quick to respond to any questions I had before signing a contract, he flew in to do our shoot the day of the wedding and was right on time if not a bit early to get acquainted and scout the best spots for photos, he was extremely fun and upbeat to work with, made all of us laugh and have a great time, know alot of couples can't wait to get the photography part of the wedding over with but we had an absolute blast and it was actually one of the highlights of our day! We were so happy with our photos ! Again, I can't say enough wonderful things about fitz, but after you look through his portfolio that alone will sell you if you are looking for the perfect photographer for your special day! Thank you fitz for the amazing photos that we and our family will cherish the rest of our lives :) you rock!!!
We chose Fitz to be our photographer for our engagement shoot and wedding. My fiance and I spent a long time looking for our photographer as we wanted to make sure that we would ha...
ve photos that we would love see over and over again (& not hidden away in a box somewhere). So far we are very happy with Fitz and his work. He did an excellent job capturing our personalities during our engagement shoot and made sure that we didn't get the typical cookie cutter pictures at the end. Fitz has a fantastic eye for color and composition, which can definitely be seen in his work. In addition to this, he really took the time to get to know us on a personal level while staying professional. We are really excited to have him at our wedding next year and can't wait to see what else he can do. Overall, Fitz is an amazing photographer and I highly recommend him to anyone who really wants their special moment to be captured in a beautiful and artistic way.

He captured a lot of special moments when we didn't even realize he was shooting. Most importantly, the pictures are STUNNING! We're so excited to work with Fitz again for our wedding next year!!!
One of the most professional and amazing photographers I've ever met. Courteous and amazing shots that I will cherish forever.

Fitz is probably the most amazing photographer that I've ever worked with. Since the very beginning when deciding which vendors to go with he was always so quick in responding and...
so professional. We decided to do engagement photos and our wedding photos with him and I couldn't be happier. You get sneak peeks so quickly and his work his pure art. He's got the most amazing eye for light and makes you so comfortable you don't even know he's around taking pictures of you. If you're on the fence about it pay the extra money because the photos are priceless memories captured and you won't regret going with Fitz. I'm dying to see the rest of our wedding pictures and I know I won't be disappointed... pick Fitz as your photographer!!
Fitz did our engagement shoot photography. Not only did he make us comfortable, he was so much fun to shoot with! He really takes into account the light composition and landscape w...
hich result in beautiful editorial photos — we chose Fitz for this reason. We were so happy with our photos and he strives to make couples look and feel good which definitely shows in the finished images. We can’t wait for him to shoot us for our wedding day.
Fitz is speedy with communication, open to different ideas for engagement shoot locations, and his photos are STUNNING! It’s all about quality with Fitz. It is clear that he spends...
a lot of time editing photos to make the color, brightness, angles and everything to perfection. His photos are dramatic and one of a kind. He is different from the typical wedding photographers in that he has a special eye. Highly recommend!
Let me start by saying I am VERY PARTICULAR when it comes to photographers. As someone who shot film and digital for many years, I often looked at people's wedding photos and thou...
ght that there wasn't anything special about them. No story, no soul. When I first saw Fitz's work online, I knew that that THIS was the photographer my (then) fiance and I needed to have. Meeting in person, he was relaxed and professional.
We used him and his team for our engagement photos, wedding photos and photobooth.
My husband and I were very impressed with everything. The engagement photos are great - he also was able to offer outfit/color advice based on our location - very helpful!
The photo booth at the reception was also a hit!
Let's talk about the most important part - the wedding photos! They are STUNNING. They arrived on time and so did the sneak peek! I'm obsessed with his images of that day- my only wish is that I have more of them! (as a note, it doesn't matter how many photos I have, I always want more!). They tell a story, show emotion and are edited well. Everyone who sees them says the same thing - "they look like they are out of a magazine!" My "new" tradition is sharing 2 on social every Sunday and even after almost 5 months - I still have way more to go! :)
I wouldn't hesitate a moment in recommending Fitz and his team a thousand times over. Your special day cannot and should not be trusted to anyone else!
Amazing photographer! Fitz captured some our most favorite moments of our wedding that we will treasure forever. We really appreciated the unique perspective he brought to each sho...
t. The pictures he captured tell a story of the day in a way that we did not see in anybody else's work.
Fitz photographed our wedding in Palm Springs in May and we couldn’t be happier with the end result! Being an Art Director for one of the biggest agencies in the world, I’ve grown ...
accustomed to working with some of the best photographers and I’m able to recognize talent very easily. When we found Fitz’s work online and had a phone call with him, we knew he was the perfect fit for what we wanted. His attention to detail is insane and his storytelling skills made our day truly magical. The cinematic feel that we were looking for is where Fitz’s work really shines. He is a master of light and shadow and is always in the right place at the right time. He was also great at leading his team and working with our videographers to ensure a consistent vision throughout the entire day. We can’t praise his work enough, it really made our wedding day unforgettable and full of emotion, as well, as super fun!
It was an honor to have Fitz as the photographer for our wedding back in July. His professionalism and expertise were unparalleled. I was a little apprehensive about the idea of a ...
professional photographer for our wedding day as I'm naturally not particularly comfortable in front of a camera, however this was certainly not the case with Fitz. From the moment he came to meet the bridal party getting ready it was like being reunited with a warm friend. He was non-invasive yet caught breathtaking pictures of every moment. When we received the catalogue of photographs my husband and I were truly overwhelmed with the beauty of each image. Fitz captured a series of photographs that really told the story of the day. I now truly realize the importance of investing in a photographer for your wedding day.
Fitz was fantastic all around. He went out of his way to accommodate our style and work within our schedule. And of course the pictures are all amazing. Just a great experience all...
around!
First off, I must indicate that both my wife and I are photographers as well. So I think our perspective is a little different than your average couple, and perhaps our decision to...
go with Fitz a more critical one. Having done a few weddings ourselves, and knowing what is involved, we knew from the first phone call (aside from his beautiful work) that Fitz was the right artist for our wedding. Fitz has a relaxed demeanor and friendly personality. He doesn’t require, nor gives, difficult direction and he’s able to create beautiful images quickly and effortlessly. I can tell that his fundamentals allow him to create unique images as well, which is a sign of an artist that is true to his craft. We specifically chose his style of cinematic photography because we wanted something different than what’s typical.
More than likely you are reading this review because you are looking at a few photographers to shoot your wedding. Do yourself a favor and book Fitz, he’s easy to get along with, and he’ll make the photography part effortless.
In conclusion, we are very happy with our photos, and we will cherish them forever. After all, the only thing you will have left of that special day are the memories. Make sure you capture them well ;)
Our photographer, Fitz Carlisle is simply the best. When you first meet with Fitz, you'll understand why. Not only is Fitz a warm and gentle soul but his level of experience and k...
nowledge shine through his work. He made the process of deciding on a photographer and a style of photography very simple. Planning your BIG day is a huge undertaking so you'll need and want the right people who have the experience to help you with it. Fitz was that person. Our wedding day was a bit of a production, as most are and Fitz guided guests to every new experience we planned throughout the evening. Fitz captured our most special moments in such a beautiful, creative, and eclectic style utilizing a mixture of photo journalistic documentary work and portraiture.
We absolutely LOVE our wedding photos. Fitz, you captured our special day in a way we never thought possible and are grateful for the time you spent with us.
Freddy and Rick
Fitz Carlile was everything we could have hoped for and more for our wedding photography. Before finding him, we weren’t really sure what we were looking for in a wedding photograp...
her, but after seeing his work - his candid shots, his use of lighting, and other reviews, it was clear Fitz was the photographer we wanted to move forward with. He arranged a call with us and we really appreciated how transparent he was with expectations (he takes 50-60 GREAT and purposeful photos an hour, not 100+ photos an hour), price (cost for him and 2nd photographer plus help planning a tentative schedule for the day), and helped us think of questions we hadn’t thought about before. He also met us in person before the wedding so we could iron out any concerns, he could get a pulse on who we are and what we’re all about to help get a sense of what kinds of pictures we’d take the day of.
He was prompt and worked incredibly well with other vendors and our entire wedding party. We honestly never saw him throughout the entire wedding and reception but when we saw the pictures, we were so excited with what he captured! The best part is just a few days later, he had several “preview” pictures he sent over for us!
Fitz was a great choice for us and we’d recommend him hands-down to any couple looking for a personalized experience with a professional memory- maker!
Fitz was great through and through. From the beginning with the inquiries, he was super responsive, professional, and clearly had personality. We found Fitz on Google and we were ...
enthralled by the wedding photos on his website. They didn't look like your typical over exposed wedding photos. They were dramatic. They captured real moments. His use of lighting and his color profiles spoke volumes to us so we decided to reach out. Not long after, we booked him as well as his second shooter and they did not disappoint. Fitz was super responsive with all our questions and requests. AND he was on time the day of the wedding. There is no lag with Fitz. When he was shooting during the ceremony, we could hardly notice him and when it came time for formals, he works quickly and has a strong artistic vision. We don't feel like we know what we're doing when it comes to posing for photos but Fitz coaches really well and builds rapport while doing so. A few days after the wedding, we received several photos to sneak a peak and we were blown away. Some of the people that we showed the photos to asked for links to Fitz's website. We couldn't wait to see the rest. When we received and reviewed the full collection, we felt like we were able to relive the day again through the lens of a dramatic photo journalist. We are grateful to have had Fitz shoot our wedding. He is an extremely talented man and we wouldn't change our decision if we were to do it all over again.
Fitz and his team are true professionals. We were very nervous about having a feeling of posed photography that feels “samesy”, while also just felt nervous about being in front of...
a camera. Fitz puts you at ease from the first meeting and makes being in front of a camera the most normal of experiences. It truly felt like hanging out with a good friend and on top of that you end up with photos like no other. His use of lighting and color create moments that pop off the page and captured moments like a true photojournalist. Looking for moments naturally much more than forcing uncomfortable poses. I cant imagine my wedding experience with Fitz and his team. They are so wonderful!
Fitz is an artist. If you go with him as your wedding photographer, not only will you get the stunning photos of your dreams (ceremony, families, bridesmaids, reception), you will ...
also get a number of other creative photos that are more amazing than you could have imagined.
Some felt formal, some felt artsy, some felt casual, some felt romantic: but every single photo that Fitz took was amazing, and made our special day that much more special. Fitz has the eye of a true artist.
On top of the quality of his work, Fitz is a consummate professional. He takes his work very seriously, and from the very first consultation with him, we knew that we were in good hands. He is adept as understanding the size and scope of your wedding, hearing what you want in terms of approach and style, and delivering everything in a prompt and precise manner. Expect continued communication and a clear timeline: Fitz delivers.
In short, it is hard to imagine a better wedding photographer than Fitz Carlile. The man is a master of his craft, and and couple would be lucky to have him capture memories that will last forever.
Fitz is like Wedding photojournalist in our view. Besides excellent photographer he is also very friendly.
Thank you for our 04/23/19 Wedding photos..

Fitz was an absolute pleasure to have at our wedding. He took some awesome pictures of the venue before we even knew he had arrived and then some really creative shots of the girls...
getting ready. He suggested an off site location for our first look and then very quickly found a desert background to take family photos at, which really added to the variety in our pictures. We really appreciated his professionalism and creativity throughout the day. He caught all the best moments and emotions without ever being in the way and worked very quickly to get all the most important shots. He really captured the love we felt so strongly at our wedding. We had so many guests comment on how great our photographer was at the wedding, and certainly once seeing some of our photographs since the wedding. We would chose Fitz again in a heartbeat!
Great photographers!!! Used them for canvases and save the dates, beautiful!
Our wedding was more relaxed in that there was not being a wedding party or rehearsal, but we had some epic scenery in Palm Springs. I didn't realize how fast the sun would disappe...
ar behind the mountain, especially in December. Actually, you don't realize how fast time slips by for the entire day of the wedding until it starts happening. Fitz knows how to anticipate a moment and seems so relaxed while a million things are happening. Even though he works fast, he does not compromise spontaneous creative decisions. I wanted to go with Fitz based on his portfolio alone- embracing dark tones, using color well, but he has a fun sense of humor that I don't think you'll find with every shooter. I was nervous as hell the day of the wedding, but the photos didn't show much of it at all. I never want to get married again, but a part of me wants to relive the fun moments of first look, cocktail hour, and our entrance. Luckily, our photos are stellar and really tell our story well. We're super happy we went with Fitz, he's a smart choice.
Fitz is a good friend of mine. He shot my best friend's wedding a few years ago. I believe that was his first wedding shoot. He was a natural born wedding photographer because of h...
is esthetics, attention to detail and excellent technical skills. He did such magnificent work that they were published in a magazine. Ever since then he has grown to become one of the best wedding photographers in LA. It was my turn to get married last weekend, and honored to have him shoot our Malibu beach wedding. Fitz captured everything beautifully. He was in constant motion to find all of the right angles and different lighting. The colors were soft and flattering, the compositions were balanced and dynamic. Everything was recorded from our special day, from tears to laughter, putting on my shoes to walking to my car, the cake, the moon, the beach, the wedding party from close and from far... everything and beyond. I'm ecstatic that this day turned out perfectly and the pictures are proof. I highly recommend Fitz!
Fitz was wonderful.
So many wedding photographers do the classic "washed-out" look with super-bright, sanitized images. We knew this wasn't for us, so we had a great feeling abou...
t Fitz immediately upon viewing his Knot profile; it was clear he wasn't afraid to use contrast and had a great, artistic sense of the different moods of a wedding. It was also evident that Fitz and his team had a great eye for capturing precious candid moments - which was a must for my wife and me. Fitz delivered an awesome album for both our engagement shoot and our wedding. It really made us feel like rockstars.
Personally, Fitz is a rock-solid, calming presence. He is sharp and methodical in his approach. Upon meeting him it was immediately obvious he had the experience to know what he was doing. In a process where there are so many potential things to worry about, we knew we would never have to worry about him.
We also worked with Fitz's colleague Will, who was similarly professional and capable with a clear vision for the photos he was taking. It's clear to us that Fitz picks his second shooters very carefully.
We cannot recommend these guys enough if you want a beautiful and stress-free wedding photography experience.
Miracle worker is how I would describe Fitz's creativity with a camera. When we initially met with him, we made it abundantly clear that we were not photogenic at all. Historical...
ly, we both never come out just right in a photograph, or only one of us does after 20 attempts. Sadly, our home has only one photo of us from a distance. From our engagement photos to our wedding photos, Fitz captured perfect backdrops, angles, and the right smiles. We are truly joyful that we picked the right photographer for our big day. We can finally print photos of us together and proudly display them in our home and office.
Fitz work is AMAZING. I am blown away by his ability to capture so many unique and special moments of our wedding day. His photography is pure art. He captured the many emotions of...
our special day, all the love, happiness and laughter.
He is a pleasure to work with. Arrived on time, and was professional and pleasant to be around. He made myself, my family, and friends feel comfortable, even in more intimate moments of our day. I would HIGLY recommend him. His work truly speaks for itself and exceeded our expectations. I would use him a thousand times over to capture one of our most cherished days. Thank you Fitz!
We had an great time with Fitz. He was masterful at keeping things moving while making us feel relaxed and at ease. Our arrangement was simple and quiet, but even from our short ti...
me with him it was apparent he would be a calming and competent force at a much larger event. A great people person and great photographer.
Amazing, fantastic, wonderful, marvelous the list could go on and on. Fitz is a truly an artist. His ability to caption the moment is perfectly candid and breathtaking. I was attra...
cted to his work from the beginning and when my now husband I meet with him for the first time, I knew he was the guy! I can not express how comfortable he makes you feel. He knows his craft and allows you to be relaxed and enjoy the moment. These are pictures that will allow these memories to live on for a life time. Thank you Fitz!
Fitz was awesome! We did our engagement and wedding photos with him. Both times he made us feel/look like high fashion models. Our pictures came out better than we imagined. My hus...
band and I don't think of ourselves as "naturally photogenic" in front of the camera, but Fitz was great with direction and making it all appear so effortless in the photographs. He has quite the eye for beautiful shots and catching moments in ways you wouldn't. We can't wait to get our wedding album! Highly recommended :)
I am having trouble putting in to words how grateful I am for Fitz and his day-of assistant, Seiichi. I chose Fitz for our wedding because his photos were cinematic yet editorial. ...
They seemed real and they conveyed so much emotion, while not appearing over edited or staged. On the day of, Fitz had been at our venue over an hour before I even arrived, scoping locations, soaking up the atmosphere and enjoying the garden. He was calm, easy going, and seemed to have the perfect balance of planned and off the cuff shoot ideas. His attitude was such that I understood how seriously he took his role there, but I was also very grateful for how relaxed he was, communicating his vision while encouraging my husband and myself to be ourselves and to enjoy the day rather than stress over it.
I can only describe Fitz and Seiichi as photographer ninjas. They were everywhere and nowhere all at once. Fitz is also a true artist. He doesn't have everything planned out, but has these moments of brilliance and you can tell he truly loves what he does. Many of our guests commented on how nice and fun Fitz and Seiichi were and how they seemed to be having a genuinely good time as they crafted artistic, meaningful, and fun shots. It was a magical day for us, and I cannot imagine it without Fitz. In the days following our wedding I've gotten a little nostalgic and kind of sad that it's over, but our photos brought me back to life. The day was a blur but we will have our photos forever and thanks to Fitz, the photos are STUNNING.
Fitz was AWSOME! At our first meeting I knew he was the one to capture our special day. His photos are not just beautiful, they truly tell a story and recreate the authentic mome...
nts that are usually missed. Fitz’s photography is very artistic and creative and his use of color and lighting allowed for depth and variety of moods to exude different emotions. His attention to detail made certain photos very special. I wanted my wedding photos to look like something out of a beautiful bridal magazine while combining true and genuine moments. Fitz did not disappoint.
Fitz was recommended by a friend, and we could not have been happier with our photos. We love his cinematic style & way he is creatively works with light. He has a great eye. It...
was also very impressive how he was able to make sure everyone in the group photo could be seen & was looking at camera. Highly recommend!
We found Fitz Carlile on The Knot about a year ago and set up our engagement shoot with him. By looking at his photos and his website we knew he was someone who could take quality ...
photos. Everything about our experience working with him was professional and personal. He helped us feel comfortable with our engagement shoot so it was no question but to hire him for our wedding this past August. Fitz and his team were very responsive, reliable, and consistent all around through our wedding planning and on the day of. He showed up with a positive, excited attitude and he nailed every moment throughout our wedding. My parents could not stop talking about how great he was. We didn't have to stand and take a million photos because Fitz just knows how to set up an amazing shot and is creative and thoughtful with doing so. I would say Fitz is worth every single penny and you'd probably regret it if you didn't reach out to work with him. Thank you Fitz and team for creating life long memories that Alex, our families, and I will forever cherish. You are so talented!
We hired Fitz to shoot our engagement photos while visiting LA
and we could not be happier with the results. Simply put, the photos took our breath away. My fiance and I used the ...
opportunity to shoot a beach session while we were in LA. We were visiting with our 7 month old son, who happened to be TEETHING pretty badly on the day of our shoot. Fitz was so great at directing us, that we completely got lost in the 2 or so hours we spent shooting and completely let loose and enjoyed the experience while a relative was driving around trying to find medicine for our son. Thats quite a talent. Fitz is excellent at what he does professionally, but an added bonus; he is also just a genuine and good guy. We hope to bring him to Mexico with us for our wedding!
We booked Fitz for our engagement photos, we're SO HAPPY that we did, because the photos turned out amazing. My husband and I took photos with Fitz in Malibu (beach and mountains) ...
wearing the traditional Korean hanboks. Not only is Fitz a talented photographer, but he is also a great person to be around. On a day to day basis, we don't enjoy having our picture taken, so his encouragement and fun energy really helped bring us out of our shells.
Fitz's work speaks for itself. He beautifully captured the emotion and magic of our special day, and we couldn't be happier with his work. He's also a great, fun guy, which is a hu...

It should come as no surprise that Fitz Carlile is getting yet another five star review. In the first 5 minutes of our hour long phone conversation, I was convinced that he was th...
e man for the job. It was immediately apparent that he genuinely cared about me, my fiance, and our overall vision. The day of our wedding Fitz was fun, encouraging, friendly, and above all CALMING. He had an ease and confidence that was easy for me to draw from and helped settle my nerves. As far as pricing is concerned; he is WORTH EVERY PENNY. I know there are many budget brides out there who are looking for places to cut expenses. I get it. I was one too. The one thing you DO NOT want to skimp on, is your memories. As many reviewers have stated Fitz works at capturing moments that speak volumes. Each photo was a beautiful moment of time that I will have forever. I can easily attest to the fact that I have the best quality wedding photos of anyone I know. In addition, Fitz also has a second shooter available that we booked for 4hrs instead of 2. Part of me wishes that I had gone for 6hrs. He also gives you a selection of images a few days after your wedding so you can see some right away. I was glued to my email inbox in anticipation and was not disappointed. Unlike some photographers, you can tell that Fitz loves his job, does it well, and is motivated to get your wedding album properly edited and available to you as soon as he can. This is a photographer that is EXACTLY as he seems which is a tremendous person and masterfully talented.
Hiring Fitz to shoot our engagement & wedding photos was the best decision we've made! We first saw Fitz's work after a close friend's wedding and were so impressed! We immediately...
asked for his info.
Fitz was so willing to go the extra mile for us and delivered beautiful photos quickly after each shoot. He's a master of photography & playing with light. He found such special, unique & romantic backdrops for both our engagement and wedding photos that we'll cherish forever.
We adore him, his wife & his adorable pup Brutus to pieces. We highly recommend him for anyone looking for an insanely talented & professional photographer.
