About M. Carter Photography LLC

M. Carter Photography LLC

Owner/Lead Photographer

You deserve to be the guest of honor, not the director. I bring a "project manager brain" and a photographer’s heart to every story I am in charge of preserving. By day, I’m a professional problem solver meaning while you’re soaking in the moment, I’m managing the timeline and handling the logistics behind the scenes. My approach is rooted in calm, presence, and an unhurried flow that lets you be unmistakably you. Expect true-to-color, timeless imagery and a partner who values your comfort as much as the final gallery. If you’re prioritizing presence over a production, I’d be honored to help you navigate your day.

When it comes to capturing unforgettable wedding moments, I’m all in. This isn’t just a job it’s a true passion. With over a decade of experience in customer care and a background in project management, I bring a calm, organized presence to your day so you can stay fully present and soak it all in. From the big “I do” to the quiet, candid moments in between, I’m here to make sure your story is captured beautifully and stress-free. You focus on making memories I’ll handle the rest. 3x winner of Couple's Choice & Best of Weddings with 75+ 5-star reviews across all platforms!

    From our first introduction call, to our engagement photo shoot, to capturing every single moment throughout our wedding day - we will be forever grateful. I cannot begin to express my gratitude and appreciation for all of the hard work, creativity, and fun Marcus brought to our engagement photo shoot and wedding photography experience. Marcus has such a warm and engaging personality that made this whole process an absolute dream. His photos speak for themselves, they are breathtaking! We are so excited to share them with our family and friends and have these forever memories of our special day! It is without reservation that I highly recommend Marcus for your wedding day! You will not be disappointed. Thank you Marcus! MJ

    Everything about working with Marcus is LOVELY — from the first phone call, to our engagement photos, to our elopement photos. I was initially anxious about hiring a photographer, especially since (1) I had no idea where to start and (2) we were eloping so these were going to be *the* thing to mark the day. He was my first phone call and within 5 minutes of talking to him I was sold. I only had two broad (vague) ideas for what I wanted and he took them and turned them into plans I could be excited about. Ultimately, our engagement photos involved a last minute location change and our elopement photos ended up needing a schedule change. Marcus was nothing but responsive and encouraging through everything. He was ready with new ideas and managed to keep me excited when I'd have otherwise been really stressed. I’m not sure anyone else would have been so flexible while also staying so warm and kind. And of course, the photos are gorgeous. He manages to talk to you and make you laugh and feel like you’re just hanging out while also capturing a thousand (literally) photos. The last time my husband or I had professional photos taken we were probably in high school, but Marcus was a pro at making us feel comfortable. His eye is great and he sees things we’d have never thought of, to beautiful results. I’ve already told my husband when we need photos for anything in the future, we’re calling Marcus. 12/10 recommend. Giving him glowing reviews is going to be my new hobby, and if you work with him it’ll be yours too.
