Visual Arts Wedding Photography, Inc.

usband and I truly appreciate his communication skills. Carsten made sure we were on the same page and the photos that we received were to our liking. On the wedding day, Carsten and Leigh truly displayed their photography skills and did not let moments go unnoticed. Leigh was very sweet, approachable and made me feel comfortable while she took pictures in the bridal suite. We are so grateful for the ways they shared their perspective of our wedding with raw emotion and beauty. The photos they took are ineffable and we are able to relive that moment through their incredible photos.

zing pictures, having them come to life. Carsten & Leigh made this process easy and fun. We couldn't have asked for anything more and anyone better. To top it off, they delivered all of them super fast and our desire to see the end-product has been met extremely fast - like lightning fast! We highly recommend them to anyone for any occasion! We definitely keep them in mind for any upcoming special event!! Thanks Visual Arts Wedding Photography for making this special day even more special!!

g day, they were professional, friendly and responsive.

 Our "teaser" images were up so quickly, and they're exactly what we expected - sharp, colorful, deliberate images. Carsten & Leigh have a rigor and an attention to detail that sets their photography apart from most. You can see from their work that they have an uncanny knack for capturing a moment. Visual Arts Wedding Photography are hands down our favorite vendor.

us look natural! There’s something really special about the quality of Carsten’s photos, both from our engagement shoot and our wedding - he is able to capture private little moments in a way that feels intimate and real, not cheesy. We loved the combination of fine art and photo journalistic styles. There was so much variety! We interviewed a number of photographers and Carsten was our clear favorite: so many others felt like photo factories where they had their checklist of poses and photo opp spots, whereas Carsten had a more artistic, treat-each-event-as-it’s-own-special-day vibe. We had the impression that he puts a lot of heart and care into each wedding. And while our expectations were high, he exceeded them. We’ve had so many friends tell us they’ve never seen better wedding photos. They were so great, it took us a year to finally narrow them down enough to fit into an album! We could not be happier with our experience working with Carsten.

her and had to push our ceremony several hours and change location, he was completely accommodating. On the day of the wedding - WOW! Carsten went above and beyond. He felt like a part of the family. As the bride, I felt so supported by him and his wife Leigh. On top of directing the whole family into poses, helping me and my husband feel natural and at ease on camera, they helped my mom and my sister with all of our belongings. Every single person at the wedding was thoroughly impressed by them. They were very professional, very dedicated to their craft. They felt like family members, but also didn't over impose themselves or anything at all. They were complete professionals who could anticipate our needs. Carsten also sent us a sneak peek at our photos and they are absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! The space we were in was a little dark, but using their lighting, they made the images stand out and feel so genuine to the day. I can't say enough great things about Visual Arts Photography!!!!

sure we had the very best photography team and Carsten and his team are THE BEST!!! The day of the wedding everything go so smoothly. We LOVE all of our pictures can’t wait for our friends and family to see all of the photos!!! Leigh is the sweetest and is very professional in answering any questions or concerns we had along the way! Thank you Visual Arts Photography!

loved working with him as well. There is no one i would recommend more than Carsten and his team. I will definitely be using them again.

personality, it’s contagious. Not only was he very engaging during our time together, but he has a gift of making the setting feel as natural as possible while he captures the moments to make them perfect. His love for his work really shows throughout the entire process. I truly cannot pick a favorite photo of my husband and I, because there are just too many to choose from!! He is very talented as an artist, and you will not be disappointed.

wife, Leigh). The photography speaks for itself - the images are breathtaking. Worth every penny. If you're considering hiring Carsten, do yourself a favor and stop thinking :)

ortant day of our lives. Carsten was full of recommendations for our day of planning. As we got closer to the wedding he met with us in person and went through the day's planning in great detail. We left the meeting feeling we were in great hands and knew exactly what to expect. The day of our wedding Carsten and Leigh were with us for 12 hours straight. Gently guiding us to pose in just the right ways and always inserting a bit of humor to break up times that can get a little crazy. Carsten and Leigh new exactly where to be at all times. We started off with a bright sunny day with inside and outside photos, church photos, sunsets, candlelight, sparklers to a midnight carriage ride to take us away. All of the photos came out exceptional! We received our full digital gallery in less than 4 weeks. We are so pleased there are so many that just take our breath away. We highly recommend Visual Arts Photography. They worked their tails off and the end product was AMAZING!!!

party, family and other vendors through the day to make sure we were capturing everything we wanted in a fun and kind way. He truly has a vision for space, lighting and movement. We have great posed family and bridal party photos, but all of my favorites were the candid moments that Carsten and team captured throughout the day. The photo delivery process was timely and professional and we look back at them all the time. We were so lucky to work with Carsten and his team and will be recommending him for all friends and family. Thank you Carsten!!

ricing. I should mention he also shot our engagement shoot and we loved our pictures. We didn't have the best weather for part of it and he gladly offered to do another location shoot on another day to make up for it. Something he didn't have to offer at all. Back to the wedding day, he was punctual, gave us great tips/cues when we needed it. My husband and I are very stiff photo takers and don't love taking them, so he made us and our wedding party feel very comfortable. With his little cues, the pictures turned out outstanding! We had so many family and friends comment at how great our pictures turned out. He was very professional the whole time, even helped us iron out some timeline issues and gave us great suggestions. We had viewed a ton of photographers prior to choosing Carsten and what really caught our eye was his camera angles and natural feel of the photos. He really captures the moment and surroundings in the best way. He sent us highlight photos 2 days after our wedding! We did not expect that at all but it really kept our wedding high going. He also delivered our full album in 3 weeks. Would highly recommend Carsten for your wedding!

out of our wedding. To say we were disappointed was an understatement, but that's when we were introduced to Carsten. My husband and I loved his upbeat personality and true talent as we looked at picture after picture in his portfolio. He is an absolutely amazing photographer! Lucky us that he shared his talents with us!! After an amazing day, we couldn't wait to see them - and only 2 days later we got a sneak peek and loved every one of them. The pictures were fun, energetic, and professional. The rest have just come through and I'm having trouble picking my favorites! Thank you Carsten for stepping in and documenting memories for a lifetime!!

res and quality were amazing and he really edited them exactly how I asked and without too much of it. He helped run the day smoothly and worked so well with the other vendors to make sure the timeline was followed so I didn’t have to worry about it. They are professional, friendly, and talented at what they do. I highly recommend for any special day and occasion!

getting asked how we found him! Every single person came up to us and had nothing but good thing to say about him.

t is Carsten never got in the way or interrupted anything, yet was able to capture so many amazing moments perfectly. Would definitely use Carsten again.

tos. He took our wedding photos in November and I am so in love with them. They're so timeless and dreamy - I can't wait to have them hanging in my home forever.

the timeline of our wedding was what we wanted to capture in photos. He is very responsive and willing to go above and beyond to ensure your day is captured the way you want. My husband and I are very pleased with our photos! We received a sneak peak within a few days of our wedding and our full amount of photos within 3-4 weeks after our wedding which is unheard of. Pricing is also very reasonable especially for what you are getting. Highly recommend! If I could give higher than a 5/5 rating, I would!

ke the foliage, ferns, jewelry, etc. in such a unique way. He even knew what and who we would want pictures of, even if we forgot to specify. He is such a pleasure to work with and we have become good friends in the process of working together. Carsten has a huge heart and it is so evident that he cared about our wedding day as much as we did. We feel so fortunate to have had him behind the lens to capture such an incredible day. The hardest part about having hired Carsten is knowing what pictures to put into frames!

y and very easy to work with. My husband and I are beyond happy with the memories captured in those photos. Thank you!
