Investment
Recently, my grandmother passed away and I got to hear so many sweet stories of her that I hadn’t ever heard before. My favorite by far, was the story of how she only had $50 back in 1958 to pull off the wedding to my Grandfather. Converted to today, that’s less than $400. Well, my Grandmother, being the resourceful Lady she was, came in under budget. She kept everything simple and focused on the joyfulness of the occasion. I love her so much. My packages are meant for those kinds of weddings. Sweet, simple, joyful, focused on family and the lasting commitment between two people.
I would love to hear about your story and see if we’re a good fit for each other because after all the guests go home, the floor is swept up, and the lights are turned out on your beautiful day, the only things left are the dress and your memories. It's so important to make sure you have a photographer you trust to capture those fleeting moments and will work with you on your vision.

All wedding are different and I would be happy to customize a package for you or add an engagement session. Engagement sessions start at $250 and include an outfit change and ideas of location to suit your personality as a couple.
I only accept a small number of weddings each year to ensure each couple receives the best possible service and experience. At time of booking, a $350 nonrefundable retainer is due along with a completed and signed copy of Carmela Blackwell Photography's wedding contract. This applies towards your total package cost and holds your selected wedding date. Remainder of balance is due two weeks prior to your wedding and I am more than happy to work out a payment plan if that is easier for you.
