I would recommend Fresh Photography to any couple looking for awe-inspiring wedding photography.

Carmen's imagery is breathtaking, be it edgy, whimsical or sophisticated and to bring such a quality to ones art, is truly admirable. She is a genuine artist at heart, with an eye that is remarkably unparalleled. Through our work together, Carmen has served to inspire me and confirm my suspicions of her as an undeniable leader in this industry. I would recommend Fresh Photography to any couple looking for awe-inspiring wedding photography. - Kailey-Michelle, Kailey Michelle Events, Vancouver Wedding

your photos haunt me and I can't imagine not having your creative style on our special day.

Hello! I have been admiring you (actually stalking") you for months now. You work has such edge and emotion that I am in awe of everything you post! We are getting married ... and  I am determined to have the most beautiful wedding known to man...  The more I ponder it the more your photos haunt me and I can't imagine not having your creative style on our special day.  - Danielle, Trail BC  

I just cant thank you enough times for bringing my moments back to me.

[I]’m in tears at my office.   What you wrote was so beautiful, and so touching, that I want to drive to Rossland to hug you!  … I have been a bit sad since the wedding ended.  It was the most magical days of my life … but I’ve been feeling a bit sad [that] its gone so fast, and I wish I could just rewind and sit still in it for moments longer... I see these, and I know why good photographers are artists, painters, poets.  These are truly beautiful, and I just cant thank you enough times for bringing my moments back to me.  - xoxoxo Jen, Cranbrook Wedding

I just wanted to … tell you how drop dead Gorgeous your work is.

I just wanted to … tell you how drop dead Gorgeous your work is. I follow you on fb and have noticed your work for awhile..... I follow lots of photo blogs and I assumed you were just another BIG time California based photog. I dived further into to some blog stalking and I see your from BC!!!  Wow!!!! I am blown away girl and I wanted you to know a fellow photographer … thinks your awesome!! - Janna, Alberta

I can't imagine working with another photographer for the rest of my families photos!

Carmen of FRESH Photgraphy was absolutely incredible! She was professional and timely as well as flexible to our schedule and so much fun! We couldn't have imagined working along side anybody else on our wedding day!! She was very quick to respond to all my emails and was able to answer all our questions. This was such a great stress relief since we lived away from the town where we were getting married. I would recommend FRESH Photography to anybody looking for a photographer! I plan to travel over 7 hours again to have photos taken by Carmen in May when I have my first baby! I can't imagine working with another photographer for the rest of my families photos! - Bronwyn, Nelson Wedding

for the first time, I am going to love hanging pictures of ourselves up on the wall.

I wasn't quite sure what to expect. … Carmen - I love them all. Thanks so very much. Despite the fact that baby E wasn't quite himself, and that our carefully planned out outfits were covered with coats, and also that Phil and I had a "disagreement" the night before and were trying to look as together and happy as we could, you have captured our family wonderfully, and for the first time, I am going to love hanging pictures of ourselves up on the wall. - Becky, Vancouver Family Photography
