We used Carrie for our wedding in October 2020. From the first time we met her, we knew we picked a great photographer. Carrie is very personable and really tried to get to know us as a couple. Prior to the event she was very responsive and helped keep us calm and feel confident in our decisions. Although we had to change plans due to the pandemic, Carrie was able to adapt easily and make sure that we would be all set. At the event her, and her second photographer (I'm sorry I forgot his name) were very professional and did a great job to get great photos at both our first look and wedding location. As it is often said, out of all aspects of the wedding, the photographs will be the one thing that will last forever. You will not be disappointed by choosing Carrie.

Of all the decisions you need to make while planning your wedding, this will be the easiest. Pick Carrie Draghi - she is worth every penny. Good pictures start from being at ease and Carrie will definitely put you at ease. Even from the first consultation, she makes you feel like you are the only client and the only one that matters. Her pictures are amazing and every now and then she'll say "Let me try something" - those will be the best pictures. One thing I was not expecting was for her to help me draw up a timeline for the day. I didn't have a wedding planner and kind of cobbled it all together myself. Carrie, based on all her experience, advised me on getting hair and makeup done earlier (she was right), having the flowers delivered earlier (she was right again - especially since the delivery was running late), and leaving earlier to get to the church. As she said, no bride has ever complained about being too early. I wasn't too early at any stage and her timeline actually prevented me from being late and stressed out. The second photographer she came with (Dan) was just as great. After meeting him for the first time on the day of the wedding, I was instantly at ease with him in under 5 mins. I could go on and on but no one will read a super long review. Bottom line - book Carrie. You won't regret it!

Carrie and Dan are amazing. From our first meeting I knew I wanted to go with her. She was easy to talk to, understanding and clearly has a lot of experience. The day of our wedding, she kept me clued in and prepared for each thing and I believe she was a large part in why our wedding ran so smoothly. She had a plan for all situations and was open to impromptu photos as we wanted them. She was considerate and of my fiance/husband who does not like a lot of pictures taken of him and made him feel comfortable. I would highly recommend her for any event!

Carrie is, LITERALLY, THE BEST! She made me feel so at ease with everything! You can definitely tell that she has years of experience and know EXACTLY what she is doing! She never leaves you guessing about what you need to get done next. She is not just your photographer, too! She stepped in as such a great help on my wedding day when we found out that my dress had a missing clasp! She helped my Wedding Coordinator fix my dress several times and was such a pleasure to have!! LOOK NO FURTHER BECAUSE SHE IS AMAZING!!! THANK YOU CARRIE FOR EVERYTHING :)

Finding a wedding photographer was one of the most stressful parts of planning our wedding. After meeting Carrie Draghi we immediately felt relieved. Carrie is extremely professional yet easy going. She had a way of making sure we were comfortable with every decision we were making (and there is a lot of them to make). Carrie made sure we stuck to our venues timeline and worked with the other vendors on our wedding day. She was even flexible when I decided to add an additional first look the day of our wedding. When we received our wedding photos we were blown away! Carrie was 10 steps ahead of us and made sure she captured every sentimental moment and detail of our wedding. She made the entire process simple and stress free. Photography is Carrie's passion but my husband and I believe Carrie truly cares more about going above and beyond to deliver for her clients.

Carrie Draghi was amazing. She captured every moment of our big day. She made everyone feel comfortable and was a pleasure to work with. I can't wait to work with her again. She remembered every detail and brought tears of joy to us when our pictures arrived. Thank you Carrie from the bottom of our hearts !!!!!

As a photographer myself It was very important to me to find "the best" to photograph my wedding. Carrie delivered and far exceeded our expectations. It goes without saying that her photos were stunning. What really sets Carrie apart though is her personality - Carrie is personable, professional, and knew how to anticipate & fix issues we never even though about.

Carrie Draghi Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding. My husband and I were thrilled with the attention and care that Carrie gave to our every need. She took the time to get to know us and our family "dynamics" to ensure that all went perfectly on the day of the wedding. Her goal was to get us wonderful pictures we would love and still enjoy every piece of our wedding. Her photography is beautiful and we were so happy with her work and her professionalism. The final pictures were outstanding. She captured the most important and intimate parts of our wedding. Carrie has photographed three of my friends weddings and all were equally thrilled with her work. On top of the amazing work she does, she has a wonderful down-to-earth personality that makes you feel comfotable and well taken care of. I would highly recommend Carie Draghi Photography to any friend, family member or aquaintance that are looking for an outstanding photographer.

Carrie brings a one of a kind approach to her clients that take you out of the typical box of wedding photography. She shot our wedding back in 2006, and I not only loved her great eye for detail, but her genuine enthusiasm. We immediately felt comfortable with her which helped get some amazing pictures we'll cherish forever.

I had the pleasure of hiring Carrie for our wedding in 2006 and all I can say is that there is not a week that goes by that I don't look at my wedding album. Yes, even almost 4 years later! She is amazingly candid and professional. Carrie was able to caputre all of the those little things through out the day that I may not have even remebered if it wasn't for her artistic eye! A job truley well done!

I've been in 5 weddings and have been to many others, but I've never liked a photographer more than Carrie. From our engagement pictures to our 'big day' we had a wonderful experience, and the pictures themselves were above all expectations. The most difficult time we had throughout the whole process was deciding which pictures we were going to include in our album. I recommend Carrie without reservation.

Carrie photographed my July, 2009 wedding. We could not have asked for a better person. Carrie meshed well with my "hates pictures taken" husband and captured some of the most amazing shots (both wedding and engagement). She had our whole bridal party laughing and carrying one, all while snapping perfection!! Carrie was so much FUN to work with, she is a natural behind the lens. Her stunning pictures are proof of how amazing she is. It truly shows when someone is passionate about their work, Carrie is more than passionate about photos. Thanks, Carrie for capturing the most special day of our lives so perfectly!!

Carrie Draghi recently photographed our wedding in and simply...it was a great experience! She made the whole process so smooth and easy. On our wedding day pictures we're taken quickly, efficiently and made so much fun,.. and we are in love with our wedding album! I have highly recommend her to anybody needing a photographer for any reason. A lot of our family goes to Carrie now for baby pics, family pics, wedding pics.... you name it! Carrie Draghi Photography is the Best!

nterviewed several wedding photographers before our June 2007 wedding. Nobody came close to the professional, excellent job that Carrie did at (and before) our wedding. Others suggested "digital rainbows" and little superimposed hearts etc in our wedding album. Hmmm. We decided to "splurge" a little more on Carrie as she was a little higher than our budget allowed, but I am so glad that we did. She helped in every aspect, whether it be about style ideas, to helping out the other people we had contracted for our wedding (reception people etc). You are getting more than just a Photographer...and she is a great on at that too!!... Her pictures were beautiful..Initially, I did not want to go with someone that shot with digital cameras...until I looked at her pictures when we went to visit her. Amazing. Great photos are important because that is was you still have and look at years down the road. You need a good photographer and DJ to have a good wedding...most everything else will be shaped around these...and you only remember the DJ if it was a negative experience. My wife's sister (my wife's Maid of Honor at our wedding) hired Carrie because she loved what Carrie did at our wedding. Oh and our Wedding album came out perfect. It took my wife and I a long time to adjust pictures and sizes etc because we wanted it perfect and that exactly what we got. Was very easy b/c it is posted to the internet and you can log in to see exactly how it will look before finalizing it. Overall, I made a great decision hiring Carrie for our wedding. She was exactly what we wanted. Professional, accomplished, fun, smart, has a good eye, and was a great help to our wedding. She understands this is YOUR day. Hi Carrie!, glad I could write a review for you:) Jeff Anyone, feel free to email me (jeff_wisecarver@hotmail.com) if anyone has a questions for me.

Carrie was without a doubt one of my most favorite parts to my wedding! She photograhed my wedding this past June and a "Trash the dress" photo shoot in late August. My husband and I booked her after seeing the work she did for a few of our friends weddings. During the first meeting one thing she said that stuck out was that she "wanted to tell a story" with our wedding, and that is just what she did! Her work is truly remarkable. She is creative and full of engery, she would even lay in the wet ground during a tornado to capture the perfect pic! Already 3 of my close friends have booked her for their 2010 weddings. Working with her feels like working with a friend you've had all your life. She truly is AMAZING!!!

To my husband and I Carrie is the best photographer you can choose for your wedding. Her work is just fantastic. We used her for our wedding in July 2007 and since then 3 of our friends have used her at their weddings, and our cousin booked her for her wedding next summer. Carrie's prices are very very reasonable for the quality of work and the options she offers. Carrie treats every bride and groom as if they are her only client. Her services is very personalized she takes the time to get to know the bride and groom and she really gets involved the day of your wedding with your family and friends. You will be truley amazed with the pictures you end up with and how easy it is to work with Carrie. She exceedes your every expectation.
