Welcome friend, my name is Carina

Photographer, dreamer, storyteller

 

If you've been searching for a wedding or elopement photographer who will make you feel relaxed, laugh with you and get stuck right in, you've come to the right place! I come bearing wide smiles, awkward laughs and stories about my cats that nobody asked for.


You won't find a corner-hugger here. I jump right into the fun and love to be in the middle of it all, capturing REAL feelings and raw, uncontainable laughter. My work is artistic and romantic and I can't wait to share it with you!

"The power of imagination makes us infinite."

Somerset Wedding Photographer, Documenting Love Stories Throughout the UK, Ireland & All Across the Globe




You're probably wondering if I'm based close to the venue you've chosen for your day, but don't worry if I'm not, I travel all over and am always discovering new favourites to add to my list of loves! I boil my kettle right on the border of Somerset and Devon in the South West, UK and as a wedding and elopement photographer who loves the outdoors, I feel SO incredibly blessed to be in such a beautiful part of the country filled with so many good views and wonderful venues to work in.


I have built up a carefully curated collection of wedding photography packages to suit a range of celebrations. From full wedding day coverage to intimate elopements, hopefully you will find something there that fits your vision. If your plans are a little more outside the box, don't be afraid to get in touch as I'm more than happy to work around individual schedules and provide a quote bespoke to your day.


For loved up couples who are craving a taste of adventure beyond the UK & Ireland, fly on over to my Destination page that covers my love for travelling and details my approach to love stories abroad.



We couldn't recommend Carina enough! Carina took the most lovely photographs on our wedding day - we honestly couldn't be happier. She made us laugh lots and relax whilst doing our couple shots which we were both quite nervous about. She fit into our day perfectly and really made us feel at ease. The photos are just so lovely! Thank you!

Tilly & Sam

Carina captured our special day with only 8 days notice as we'd been let down with our previous photographer. She was amazing from start to finish, such a people person and not awkward at all. We've just had our sneak peek and I cannot wait to see the rest of them. Would highly recommend her to everyone!

Lucy & Aiden

Carina, they're all amazing! Thank you so much, you've captured the day perfectly and I'm so so so happy that I wasn't crying in every single one. I really thought I would be. All of our friends and family said how amazing you were on the day and we couldn't agree more. We don't really have words to thank you enough, they're beautiful photos.

ARTISTIC & ROMANTIC IMAGES

Looking at individual "Wow" shots in a portfolio is a great way to get a feel for a photographer's range and style, but in my opinion, the BEST way to see how they truly work is to view a real wedding story in to get a sense of what you'll receive in your final gallery and how the moments of your day will flow together.

Every wedding deserves a little bit of magic. My goal is to deliver your story in a potion that will keep you smiling long after the day itself. I'll be the Sam to your Frodo while you keep a hold of the rings and make your way through the epic adventure that your wedding/elopement truly is!
