For the experience.
For the feeling.
For everything that stays with you.
The nerves before the ceremony. The hug you didn't see coming. Your best friend making you laugh when you're trying not to cry. The quiet moments, the silly ones, and everything that happens when no one is thinking about the camera.
Your wedding is more than a collection of beautiful photographs. It's the people you love in one place, the anticipation before the ceremony, the laughter that takes you by surprise, the moments you planned for and the ones you never could have.
My approach gives you the space to experience all of it. I document moments as they naturally unfold and offer thoughtful direction when it's needed, creating photographs that feel honest, cinematic and beautifully composed—while keeping the experience of your wedding at the heart of everything I do.
Hi, I'm Carrie.
I'm the photographer behind CMG Imagery, based in the San Francisco Bay Area and photographing weddings throughout Northern California and beyond.
After thirteen years and more than 150 weddings, I know two things for certain: no two weddings are alike, and even the best-laid plans tend to evolve once the day is actually happening. I've gotten very good at thinking on my feet, reading what's happening in real time and adjusting the plan to fit the wedding—not the other way around.
I'm direct when you need an answer, calm when things get complicated and equipped with the kind of dry humor thirteen years of weddings tends to give a person. I take what I do incredibly seriously without taking myself too seriously—and I think weddings are better that way.

Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. what you have caught on film is captured forever...it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.”

KIND WORDS
Carrie's eye for detail and her ability to capture the essence of every moment transformed ordinary scenes (our backyard, In n Out, and our favorite dive bar to name a few!) into life-long memories. I think what truly sets her apart is her ability to establish a genuine connection with her clients. Throughout the shoot, Carrie made me feel at ease, enabling both of us to express ourselves naturally, resulting in photographs that truly reflected our personalities and captured the perfect moments.
