Amazing husband and wife team, they truly love what they do and do what they love! Our pictures turned out beautifully and we are really happy with all of our sessions: engagement, wedding and destination shoot after the wedding (called the wild romance). I highly recommend their biggest package that includes all of that and a wedding album and canvas print. They pay attention to your needs and are very personable, professional and easy to get along with (which also helps take the initial stress and awkwardness out of getting professional pictures taken with your significant other haha let’s be honest!). Highly recommend and look forward to working with them in the future too!
Carla and Michael are a professional and fun couple that really know how to capture your perfect moment!! From the engagement shoot to the wedding to the wild romance shoot they had all the perfect ideas, timing, and posing down! They helped a lot with making sure I had everything organized on our wedding day so things would go smoothly and we would have time to get the perfect pictures! I love the pictures so much and so do all my friends and family! They turned out better than I imagined! I recommend Carmichael Studios to everyone who is looking for a wedding photographer! If you like to have fun and get elegant, perfect pictures taken this is the photographer duo for you! (Especially if you're looking for wilderness shoot opportunities they know the best places!)
My fiancee wasn't keen on taking engagement pictures at all, but then we met Carla at a local bridal show and everything changed. Our engagement shoot was stunning, easy, and cost effective. Carla and Marcella (her daughter) went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and our chemistry made the time fly by. At the end, and very shortly afterwards we were provided with photos that were high quality and we used in our home as decoration and in our wedding invitations. After we set our destination to Scotland for our wedding, we were worried about finding a photographer who had the same professionalism and chemistry as we did with Carmichael Studios. Carla, Michael, and Marcella didn't let distance stand in the way. We have hundreds of photos and we simply can not choose our favorites from the wedding and reception. These are photographers that you keep in mind for a lifetime. I am so excited to work with them again to capture future life moments in our family.
Absolutely amazing experience with them we have had a few shoots with them and every time they turned out absolutely amazing. They have an incredible eye and incorporate nature in the most perfect way! We couldn’t have been happier with our wedding and engagement photos!
Carmichael produced a wedding video for a couple at the Van Dickson Ranch and the couple shared it with us. It was outstanding, a perfect capture of the events of the day. We recommend Carmichael Studios to all the people who visit our ranch planning a wedding and reception.
Carla and Michael are rockstars!! A dynamic duo that everyone needs for their wedding photography. We traveled to Glamis, CA to have our engagement photos done in the dunes. Carla caught the light off the sun perfectly. Our pictures capture our love & friendship. They are a treasure forever! Can’t wait for the wedding!! ♥️ Thank you Carmichael Studios!!
Carla and Michael were truly wonderful to work with. We first met them while looking for a photographer for our engagement pictures. We settled on a location just outside of Phoenix and Carla was amazing to work with and the photos came out fantastic. There was a sneak peak available that evening and the full set of photos was available so quickly! We decided that we wanted to have them photograph our wedding, but were planning to get married in Scotland and were unsure how that would work. They were both wonderful and jumped on board with the idea and even agreed to an additional photo shoot a couple of days after the wedding (which means we have so many wonderful pictures)! We had back and forth communication and meetings to clarify details and generally just had a really easy and enjoyable time planning the photography portion of our wedding with the both of them. On the day they were nothing but exceptional and many of our bridal party have also noted how easy they were to work with. Our photos have turned out so well, and we are so pleased and overjoyed to have such great memories captured for us to enjoy for the rest of our lives together. I highly recommend Carla and Michael and Carmichael Studios for anyone's wedding day (near or far).
For our wedding night we put a lot of thought and energy into insuring it was proper and magical. We had 189 guests and spent a great deal monetarily. With that said the groom and I very much feared the pictures and the time it would keep us from “our celebration”. Carla and her husband we absolutely spectacular in expeditiously catering to our needs as we did not do a first look. Everyone knew where to be and all the family shots were impeccable. The process was so easy and took about 45 minutes. We got the video and all the shots in around 3 weeks which is ultra fast based on what I have heard from friends. We received plenty of compliments on our “wedding crew” and highly recommend using the husband and wife team Carla has to offer. They not only met with us twice prior individually but also made sure every shot we wanted was accomplished. Thank you Carla!!!!
Carla and Michael: We cannot thank you enough for these beautiful images. They are TO DIE FOR! There are hundreds of fabulous photos and I have had so much fun this afternoon going through all of the memories. It was so special and we loved every minute of our reception. You captured all of it so beautifully; I feel like I'm transported right back! The reception photos are stunning and so colorful. YOU TWO ROCK and are such a dream team! Love to do business with you in the future.
Carmichael Studios were so easy to work with. They did a wonderful job making sure we got the shots we wanted- and then some. They have a great eye!
If you are looking for the best photographer Carmichael Studios is definitely the best!! Carla was amazing at capturing our special day in every way possible! Thank you so much Carla for the jaw dropping photos! If you want an amazing photographer, Carla is definitely the person you want to hire because she blew our expectations out the window with her service and pictures! She captured every single special moment and more! I definitely will recommend her to everyone!
Our first introduction to Carmichael Studios was on a mountain, they had no problem hiking up for our shoot! Not only is their work beautiful, we are also impressed with their promptness, flexibility and professionalism.
Carla and Michael are true professionals with a creative eye for composing amazing photos. Carmichael Studios shot our wedding and my wife and I were very impressed with their work. They kept us smiling and feeling very natural for all the photos they took. I would recommend them highly for any of your photography needs!
Every photogenic moment from start to finish was captured. Not just the scenery or the people, but the story and feeling behind it all as well. They caught all the details, from flowers and decorations to candid shots that are every bit as wonderful as the group pictures we had decided on ahead of time. They knew where to be, and were present and intimate without being intrusive.
We loved the creativity that we saw during a friend's wedding photoshoot; and once the photos were printed, we were even more impressed with the quality of their work. Four to six months later we approached Carmichael Studios to photograph our engagement session. We met them at the Desert Botanical Gardens in the late afternoon/evening. It was more fun than I could have ever imagined and the quality of their work was superb. The way they captured the light, the colors, and the sunset made for the most amazing images. Naturally, we hired them for our wedding day. Carla was so easy to work with, she had great ideas, and listened to our ideas as well. I would highly recommend Carla to all of my family, friends, and anyone else looking for a stellar photographer.
We hired Carmichael Studios for our elopement ceremony at the Boulders. We live in northern MN so had to do most of our communication via email. Carla and Michael were so easy to work with and even though we only had them for an hour-we were thrilled with the number of photos we received. We love every one of them- they do amazing work. They also put together a beautiful video. We would recommend them to anyone!
Carla and Michael are amazing photographers. My husband and I aren't use to photo shoots and they made us feel comfortable and relaxed. We had an amazing experience with them from our engagement photos to our wedding they captured every special moment. The video they made of our wedding day was my absolute favorite! They spent so much time with us and I am thankful for all of the hard work they did.
Carla and Michael did such an amazing job shooting our wedding! I can't get over how much I love them. Not only are they extremely talented, they are a blast to be around. My ceremony started later than we had planned, so when it came time to take all of the photos we were fighting the sun. I was worried we weren't going to be able to get all of our pictures in. But Carla and Michael are amazing at getting everyone posed and where they need to be in such a quick and easy manner. They captured all of the must have candid moments and so much more! Looking at the pictures you can feel the atmosphere. Not only did they go above and beyond with the pictures, they made an incredible video. Watching it made me relive my wedding day and I totally cried all over again! I am continuously blown away by their work and will forever go to them for all of my photography needs!
Carmichael Studios understands how to balance the customer's need with creating a beautiful result.
Carla and Michael did our engagement and wedding photos. They did an amazing job and were reasonably priced. You can tell these two love what they do. I have friends comment on how great my photographer was and how great my pictures turned out. I interviewed many photographers before I decided to hire them. It was the best decision ever!
I absolutely LOVED Carmichael Studios. I wanted a husband and wife team and what I got was so much more!!
My wife Carrie originally recommended Michael and Carla because she had met them at work, and shortly afterward we were surprised to see them working at a friend's wedding. We knew right away that we wanted to work with them. They took our engagement photos and had to deal with our four crazy children, which they did with great skill. One of the things that we understood when choosing a vendor for photography is that they will be mingling constantly with the guests. Carla and Michael are so friendly and personable that they easily transition between smiling and laughing with a guest and getting a great shot, all while keeping the focus of the event on the bride and groom. They even use their knowledge of wedding planning and style to answer any questions you may have, which we relied on a great deal. Their photos capture all of the emotion of our event. Bright and colorful, with lots of great action shots. You can feel confident that this team will not only provide you beautiful pictures but provide a great experience while they work.
Carla and Michael were amazing. They took so much time getting pictures that I wanted and were able to work with my budget. They were a great team and really cared about my wedding. All their pictures were amazing.
We are very thankful to have beautiful engagement photos, we were so nervous and felt we would look awkward but Carla and Michael made us feel very comfortable and our pictures came out amazing!
Perfect Wedding Photography We were so happy to find Carmichael Studios at a local bridal show in Scottsdale. We first worked with them when we did our engagement photos shoot. They love to travel for their photoshoots so we picked beautiful Sedona for our engagement session and the pictures turned out so amazing with the beautiful red rocks contrasting with our royal blue outfits (our wedding color). We decided to hire them for our wedding after seeing how amazing our pictures turned out and I am so happy that we did. Our wedding photos are so amazing and I'm so glad that they were able to capture our perfect day in photography. They are extremely versatile and were more than willing to do any shots we had picked. We were a pretty easy going couple as far as our vision for the wedding day and let them call the shots for the most part and our pictures turned out beautiful. They were able to capture all the traditional wedding photos of friends and family as well as candids of our guests at dinner and on the dance floor. They were just really great to work with and delivered high quality photographs. They are also really great at directing the wedding party and family to get the shots you want (and possibly some shots you didn't know you wanted!) We are absolutely going to hire them again for future photography needs.
We want to thank you both, Carla and Michael, for the wonderful work you did on our engagement and wedding photos. The entire experience has been super easy and stress free. You are both professional and produce quality work. I would definitely work with you again in the future and will recommend you to anyone we know! Thank you both so very much!!
