MEMBER SINCE 2019

Hello! I'm Carmen; a Palm Springs wedding photographer with a knack for finding the beauty in everything, and a dedication to making everyone feel seen through my work. Here, we’re about creativity, expressing yourself, and having a grand ol’ time.

I’ve photographed a lot of weddings; hundreds at this point, and man, the magic of a wedding day has never wavered. You are about to have your moment, with your person, among your people. It’s magic, and it is the honor of a lifetime that I get to capture it.

I recognize the privilege and responsibility that comes with working with such creative, diverse, and fun-loving couples. I want my couples to feel authentically them. And I will do everything in my power to give you the encouragement and freedom to do that. I want your personalities to have the space to shine. You do you, I’ll handle the rest.

I want my photos to feel simultaneously like the cover of a magazine, and a snapshot from your parent’s wedding album. Nostalgia is the most powerful emotion to me, and it is the lens through which I see everything. Sprinkle a little photo magic on top of that, and you have yourself a dream combo.

Carmen is the absolute best. She’s like the most enthusiastic, positive, and creative friend you could have in your corner, and it’s such a treat to have her boundless energy with you on such an important day. Behind her great energy is a keen eye and strong vision with a clear idea of what the end product is going to look like. She guided us through her photo ideas with ease, fun and laughs during both our engagement photo shoot and during the wedding day. We wanted a photographer who offered editing that looks true to real life (we’re not big fan of the dark motifs) and a realistic mix of candid and portrait/editorial type photos and she nails all of the above with a smile. We had so much FUN with her during both our engagement shoot and our wedding day. We highly highly recommend booking Carmen! Reach out and you’ll get a great sense of her in the introduction call. You won’t regret it!

SO we are literally obsessed with Carmen & every single angle/photo she has taken of us to date. Carmen took did our engagement photos & did our wedding day photography. She genuinely made everyone feel so comfortable, from our toddler flower girls to older family friends & everyone in between. She brought out the best smiles & laughs on such a special day. You can tell she is passionate about what she does, & her genuine excitement to be a part of your special moments is something so important, yet I feel most brides overlook. There are so many emotions the day of your wedding you want someone who is THRILLED to be there & wants nothing more than to capture the very best of you & your loved ones. Literally the BEST money spent. I could not recommend her more, & I will be telling every soon to be bride I know to book her ASAP so if you are reading this you should hurry up & book her before her calendar is full for the next 10 years!!!

Carmen was the perfect choice as a photographer for our wedding. We wanted our photos to capture the fun, effortless relationship that my husband and I have, and she truly went above and beyond. Working with her felt like chatting with a friend, and her professionalism and artistry is easily seen in her work. She captured the essence of our wedding so well and made everyone feel comfortable and confident to be their best selves in front of the wedding. We've already booked her again for a personal family shoot and can't wait for more amazing photos to last a lifetime.

Booking Carmen as our wedding photographer was the easiest, and most correct choice from our wedding and planning process. Our wedding was a week ago, and we can’t get over how amazing Carmen was to work with. Our meetings were quick but efficient because she understood our vision and ran with it. On wedding day, her energy made us feel like photos flew by rather than feeling like they dragged on, how they can sometimes during weddings. She enhanced our day, and holy cow did she capture it perfectly. She got us a sneak peek gallery FIVE DAYS after our wedding, which honestly was so packed it could have been the full wedding album. Our jaw was on the floor. Her work is so full of color and movement. It truly feels like she bottled up our wedding day so we can come back to it and feel exactly how we did on the day. I was starting to feel the post-wedding blues HARD when Carmen’s email with our sneak peeks arrived… it’s like she just knew we could use a hug in the form of our incredible pictures. If you want your wedding photos to look like they belong in Vogue, but with all the light, color, and fun of the day, you’ve found your woman.

WOW WOW WOW let me just start by saying Carmen is absolutely amazing, insanely talented & as a bonus such a great energy to be around! When searching for a photographer we were looking for a bright & colorful editing style, galleries full of candid & editorial shots that really captured the energy & emotions of all the special moments, and most importantly a portfolio with a full range of skin tones all glowing to perfection. Even though her pricing was more than we had initially planned on, we both agreed a skilled photographer is worth the splurge. During our inquiry call with Carmen we could tell immediately she was the perfect fit for us. Talking to her felt like talking to my best friend, which is exactly the type of comforting but also enthusiastic energy I wanted around for the wedding day. She came through with the all good vibes and an easy-going attitude while still making sure we stayed on schedule with the photo timeline. She definitely made good on her hype woman promise, keeping it fun for us & our guests. She sent us the sneak peeks within just a few days & we were blown away with so the insane editorial portraits & fun candids. When we got the full gallery I don’t think I was able to focus on anything else that entire first week. She made us look real good & I am just still SO obsessed with our wedding photos. Couldn't be happier!
