My Philosophy

At Carter Tate Photography, I believe that photography is more than just capturing moments; it’s about preserving the emotions, connections, and beauty that make life extraordinary. My passion lies in creating timeless images that tell authentic stories—filled with joy, connection, and the vibrancy of life’s most cherished experiences.


I specialize in natural, candid photography, capturing the unfiltered essence of weddings, portraits, couples, and families. Guided by empathy and collaboration, I work closely with my clients to ensure every session is a reflection of their unique story. From the laughter shared to the quiet, heartfelt moments, my goal is to craft images that evoke extreme happiness and stand the test of time.


With an adaptable and experimental approach, I celebrate the freedom to create while staying rooted in a deep respect for my clients’ individuality. For me, photography is a celebration of beauty and connection—a way to preserve memories that inspire and empower for generations to come.


Let’s create something unforgettable together.


THE PROCESS

01 / LET'S CONNECT!

02 / BOOK & PLAN

03 / THE BIG DAY!

Let's get to know each other! Once you fill out my contact form, I'll send over an email with my packages & booking info for you to see what will work best for you and what you're wanting! If you'd like to hop on a call, I will provide my consultation scheduler for you to choose a date and time that works best for answering any questions you may have and getting to know each other better!

If you see something that works for you, we can go right ahead and start the booking process! I'll send over your contract & invoice and once the contract is signed and deposit paid - you’ll officially be booked with me! From here, we'll plan your engagement session and get you & your partner comfortable in front of the camera.

Two weeks prior to the actual day, I'll send you a questionnaire that has every question you can possibly imagine. I will draft up a day of timeline based on your wants for the day! I will be more than JUST your photographer. I’ll be your dress holder, hair fixer, your number one hype girl your entire day!

Next, I'll deliver "sneak peeks" photos within 72 hours! After that, you can expect your final images within 6-8 weeks, which will be delivered on a beautiful online gallery! You'll be able to share this gallery with everyone & anyone!
