Meet Carmela

Welcome, and thank you for being here! My name is Carmela, and I am a wedding and photographer based in Arizona but will travel anywhere for love.

I have a deep love for people and their unique stories, which is why photography has always been my passion. I am dedicated to capturing the raw emotions, candid moments, and genuine interactions that make your love story truly special. When I am entrusted with the privilege of photographing a couple on one of the happiest days of their lives, it is a responsibility that I take with great joy.

Watching a couple laugh together, the way they gaze into each other's eyes, and the electric energy between them is what drives my art. Your love story is a masterpiece, and it is an honor to document those intimate moments for you to keep forever.

What makes me different

For those of you who don’t know this, “Joy” is my actual middle name! This word, joy, is something that I want my couples to see in my photography also see in me.

My goal is for you to feel all the warm fuzzies when you look back on your photos - I'm talking intimacy, emotions, and romance all captured in one beautiful day.

I'm not your average wedding photographer - I'm all about celebrating non-traditional and unique wedding ideas. If you're down to have some fun and let your creativity shine, then we are a match made in heaven.

But it's not just about the photos for me, it's about building a connection with my couples. Providing value to my couples and being intentional is super important to me. I want to get to know you and your love story, so that I can capture your unique essence in every photo. And on your wedding day, I'm not just a vendor - I'm your friend, your hype woman, and your go-to for anything you need.

I will be that photographer who will help you put on your heels, hold your hands and take a deep breath with me if you’re feeling stressed, bustle your dress, pin on your boutonniere, take a shot with you, or get down on the dance floor with your bridal party.
