You can make payments easily through our crm portal, Honeybook. you can even set up your payments to be auto-drafted. We require a $1,000 retainer to hold the date, the second payment will be halfway through to your wedding date, and the last payment one month before your wedding.

You can expect your full wedding gallery to be delivered between 6-8 weeks. 

How many photos will I receive in my gallery?
On wedding days, we generally deliver about 100 edited photos/hour, so around 800-850 for a full wedding day (but usually more, let's be real 😊)

The Carters Creative photographed my wedding and it was FANTASTIC! They were fun to work with and eased my stress many times. The duo and their team were so easy to work with even through my husband and my awkwardness in front of cameras! The final results turned out MAGICAL.
