Carsten and Leigh are an amazing husband and wife photography team. We booked Visual Arts Wedding Photography 9 months in advance and during the time between then, the day of the wedding, and even after, Carsten checked up on us regularly. My h...

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.

Your wedding was one for the books and capturing all these precious moments of emotions was an honor. We are so blessed and thankful to be part of it. Thanks you!

Carsten and Leigh are absolutely amazing to work with! Most people as soon as they hear wedding.. the prices increase tenfold. Not only are these guys affordable/reasonable but the photo quality is truly that of those who charge double. You can...

tell that they do this because they love it. Wedding planning is exhausting and stressful, not once did they make me feel stressed or pressured to do anything that I didn't want to do. If we ever decide to have a family or have any further professional photos done, I will certainly be reaching out to them! They captured the moments of our wedding, not just the staged photos. Truly amazing couple and very personable.

I felt completely comfortable telling them the things I wanted, they always made sure to deliver. We hired their services for an hour of the rehearsal dinner which they accommodated and allowed me to have even more memories. I think the most amazing thing was getting a sneak peek within days of our wedding! As photographers, they are amazing. As people, equally amazing. Wedding days are wild and go by in the blink of an eye, by far my best choice was hiring Visual Arts Wedding Photography to help move the day along and take gorgeous photos I get to keep forever.

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.

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!!!!

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!!!

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!
