Albums & Artwork
Bringing your wedding day imagery into your home through artwork and heirloom albums
One of our favorite things we get to do with you is your Artwork Ordering Session after your wedding! During that session you’ll get to spend your artwork credit where Carrie will help walk you through choosing the best images and artwork for your home. We have beautiful options to choose from with our heirloom and coffee table albums as well as canvas, metal, and acrylic wall prints. Here’s just a few examples of our wall art and album designs.
Engagement Sessions
All of our full wedding collections include an engagement session with your lead photographer.
We love getting to know you during your engagement session! Most of our couples have never had professional photos taken before and tell us they are nervous or don’t even like to be in photos (especially the guys:-) This is all the more reason to do one as it helps you get comfortable in front of the camera and we always have so much fun! The session itself is an hour or less and we will help you in finding the perfect location and outfit ideas.
Proposals
You plan the special place, we’ll be there to photograph the “yes!”
Proposals are the start of your wedding journey, let the Carrie Wildes Photography team capture this special moment with all the candid joy, excitement, and happy tears that kickstart your forever.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I reserve my date? . . .
To reserve your date a non-refundable retainer of $1000 for our full wedding collections is required or for intimate weddings it is a 50% non-refundable retainer. This ensures that you reserve that date specifically for you and you can check finding a photographer off your list!
What is the Guided Art Experience? . . .
This is my favorite meeting after your wedding! About 4-6 weeks after your wedding, we’ll either screen share or in person have you choose all images you would consider for either an album or prints. I’ll help guide you through in choosing what images best tell the story for your album and wall. This is when you will get to spend the artwork credit you have which is the full amount you spend on your collection. You can stick with that original amount and get beautiful artwork or you can spend as much as you would like.
What is included with the Complimentary Engagement Session and can I take it out? . . .
A complimentary engagement session is included with all our full wedding collections. It’s up to an hour with your lead photographer and we’ll help you choose location and style. The session and professional editing is included. 1-2 weeks after your session we’ll do a Guided Art Experience session and show you all the edited images, (60-80 ish) you’ll choose your favorites and any artwork would be in addition (prints, an album, sign in book, save the dates, etc.) Anything you order in print you get the high resolution digital file of. If you don’t use the session, we don’t take anything out of the collection because any artwork is in addition so you lose the experience but not any artwork.
What kind of weddings do you do? . . .
We believe that love is love and each couple’s wedding story is important and unique to them. To us, ethnicity, race, gender, size, style, or anything else is what makes your moments and who you are so special.
If everything is inside do you provide lighting? . . .
We are very experienced in all types of lighting and bring flashes and static lighting sources with us to every wedding so we are prepared for any situation.
What if your camera breaks? . . .
As professional photographers, we have at least 4 camera bodies and extra lenses, batteries and memory cards with us at all times so if there is an equipment failure you will never know about it!
What does Professional Editing mean? . . .
We photograph everything in color and then our graphic designer will give them a little love (color correct, brightness, black/white, blemishes, etc) so that everything you see is a beautiful finished product. We are photography, art, and design so our goal is to do everything related to those aspects for you.
My venue said all my vendors have to have a certificate of insurance, do you have that? . . .
YES! This is so important! We are a licensed and insured business and provide our certificate of insurance to anyone who requires it.
We are honored to be a preferred photographer at many venues in Tampa Bay.
Here’s just a few. Click on the venue logo below to see our work there.
