Hey, I'm Carmela
I'm a wedding photographer based in the heart of Winnipeg, Manitoba, dedicated to capturing the most precious moments of your special day. With an eye for detail and a commitment to creating timeless memories, I specialize in documenting love stories through my lens.
Every wedding is unique, and I take pride in preserving those intimate moments, genuine emotions, and beautiful details that make your celebration extraordinary. I'm there to ensure no precious moment goes uncaptured.
Every photographer has their own unique way of seeing the world. Our styles and approaches vary with every shot we take. This is how I approach mine.
My Approach: Semi-Posed, Fully Authentic
My photography style blends gentle, natural posing with candid storytelling. I’ll guide you just enough to help you feel comfortable and confident, but the heart of my work comes from capturing the unscripted moments—the laughs, the tears, the quiet in-betweens.
On your wedding day, I become your POV. I move with you, see what you see or don't see, and document your experience from the inside out. It’s less about staging and more about preserving the real emotions and genuine interactions that make your day uniquely yours.
If you’re looking for photos that feel true to who you are—warm, honest, and effortlessly natural—this is where your story begins.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you need a second photographer?
Most weddings I do all by myself, but a second photographer can be a really good idea especially if you want to capture getting ready photos in multiple locations, or someone who can get a different perspective during your special day. Second photographers can be included as an ad-on.
Do you do destination wedding?
Absolutely yes!! Destination weddings are so beautiful and I've had the privilege of capturing weddings in other countries. If you require a destination wedding service, let's chat for a customized quote.
When do we get our photos and how do you deliver it.
Wedding galleries are typically between 8-10 weeks, and smaller sessions are within 3-4 weeks.
Galleries are always delivered through an online link which you can download at full resolution. Your gallery will be active for a year, which gives you lots of time to save your memories.
This is our process:
I. Book your date
Once you are ready to book, a contract will be prepared for you to sign and a non-refundable deposit is also required to secure your date upon signing your contract. This ensures that your date is locked in.
II. Book your engagement session
This is the time where we will spend an hour taking photos. This will get you comfortable in front of the camera and get you used to my style of posing before your big day.
III. QUESTIONNAIRE sent (one month prior)
You will receive an email from me to complete a questionnaire form. This form will help guide me on what are the most important photos for you and this will also help me figure out your timeline prior to our discussion
IV. Finalize Timeline (2 weeks Prior)
We will meet either virtual or in-person to discuss your final timeline and shot list. This is the time where you ask all your questions before the big day. I will also be working with your coordinator at this time (if you have one)
V. WEdding day
It's finally the big day. Sit back, be present, and fully take it in. This is your moment, so trust all your vendors. You have worked hard for this day, it's now your time to embrace the day.
VI. Sneak Peek
You will receive your sneak peek photos within 24-48hrs of your wedding day. I know how exciting it is to finally tie the knot and you want to see a glimpse of your day. These photos will be sent to you to enjoy while you wait for your full gallery.
