Hello Friends... I am Carolina, yep, it’s just me.. not a big studio, not a whole bunch of photographers, you will just be talking to me... my attention is devoted to you, your wedding, and the little details of yourselves and your lives that make you unique... I want to hear about it... My mission is to get to know you and your families so that I can uniquely craft your stories around your lives through my images. Can you picture yourself looking through your wedding images, showing your children and grandchildren your album, and recounting the wonderful stories that went along with each moment? My goal is to take you back to those moments... through your images... and make you feel the same emotions as if you were there. I want your children to look at your wedding day images and feel what it felt like to be there, not just what it looked like to be there. Sure, having pretty pictures of your wedding is a great bonus, but evoking an emotion is priceless... I invite you to take with me this journey towards creating amazing fine art documentary style images from your unforgettable... and priceless... moments... www.cwrphotography.com // 908.432.2122 // info{at}cwrphotography.com

Artisan Albums
Who knows what the future will bring with ever-changing technology. One thing is for certain - a printed memory will never fade, become old unusable technology, and is always a tactile and timeless gift to be able to pass down to family members of future generations. I love looking through my parents’ and grandparents’ old printed photos, and this is why I love, and encourage, printing your images. Coffeetable Albums are hand-crafted and uniquely designed with your images printed on archival photo paper, and bound within a delicate silk cover, with your names simply marked on the front.

Some Answers to your Questions...
Q: Will we get the copyrights to all our photos after our wedding? Many people get copyrights and printing rights confused. Most people really don’t need the copyrights - what you want is the unlimited right to print and use your images for personal purposes, and that you will receive. Copyright is always retained by the photographer, which just means they are my images because I took them, naturally, and I can attach my name to them when using for promotional purposes. Q: Do you release RAW files? While I do shoot in RAW format to get the best quality - the images you receive are all toned and corrected as per my style of photography. I want you to receive the full experience from your images, and for that, they need to go through a tight selection process to ensure you are getting the best images, and those images are then processed. You will receive on your usb the final high resolution JPEG images, which you will be able to print as large as you want, RAW is not really needed for any purposes other than editing and I strive to deliver a finished product. Q: Do I have to order prints through you? Once you receive your usb of images you are welcome to print for yourselves and your family and friends. I will even provide you with recommended consumer vendor. However, for extra special gifts, or prints for your home and walls, I highly recommend considering printing through me as I use professional quality vendors with higher grade materials, and have sifted through the industry to find only the best. The quality is certainly noticeable and you will have my guarantee on it. If you are not ready to invest in printing through the studio at the time of your wedding, you are always welcome to come back any time.
Q: Do you retouch, enhance, or edit your photos? All files received will be toned and perfected for print, as you see on my website, with a mix of black and white. I generally do not ‘retouch’ photos to alter their appearance, because I shoot for moments and emotion - I believe in the beauty of imperfections and capturing you and the day just as it was, concentrating on emotions and expressions rather than appearances. Q: Do you take special requests if we have particular shots we’d like, or a particular editing style? In short, no. Every wedding is unique, so I can not promise a particular shot. I prefer to get to know the schedule for the day, be as prepared as possible, and see where the day will take us. The only images that are planned are the family portraits. As for editing, the photos you receive are all in tune with my style, and that includes editing, so please be sure that you are happy with the whole package before booking. During the album editing process I am happy to switch an image to black and white or color. Q: My event is very small and intimate, we only need a few hours of coverage. Do you have hourly rates? I love to deviate from the “average” wedding, and do smaller weddings. If your wedding has less than 60 people and you would like less than 4 hours of coverage, I do offer hourly coverage at a rate of $500/hr at a minimum of 2 hours. However, I only book this type of event no sooner than 2 months from your date if I have it available, and travel outside of 45 minutes from Bedminster is billed separately.
Thank you for visiting... I hope you enjoyed this little bit of information I provided you. I would love to get to know you more and hear about your goals and what’s important to you. Let’s meet for a warm cup of coffee and a nice chat! My treat? xo Carolina
