We worked with Josh and he was a complete pleasure. The entire team helped us along the way with setting up what moments we wanted to capture and helping guide us on where would be good for our various shots. We did an engagement shoot with Josh which was a great way to get to know our personalities. My husband particularly liked the direction as he often feels a bit awkward in front of the camera. The wedding day was sunny which was blowing out some of the photos we wanted, but Josh took it in stride and found a beautiful place for photos in any case. Was a pleasure working with them (they shot a friends wedding and I loved how the photos turned out) so highly recommend! read more

I cannot really say enough good things about Michael and his wife, Grace. Michael is a phenomenal photographer, and his wife Grace is the "brains behind the business" (as Michael would say!) Both Michael and Grace are responsive, relaxed, and incredibly flexible. For our engagement photos, neither my husband nor I knew what to expect. Michael came prepared with creative ideas that resulted in an awesome variety of fun, romantic, totally frame-worthy photos. My husband wasn't initially too thrilled about having engagement photos taken in the first place, but the fact that Michael was such a down-to-earth, cool person made a huge difference for us. Now for the wedding... I will just start by saying I am not the type of person who particularly enjoys getting my picture taken, but with Michael, I didn't even know I was being photographed. We didn't want an overabundance of canned/staged poses and pictures. We were more looking for him to be able to blend into the background, but still be able to produce high quality shots and capture the true feeling of the night. He COMPLETELY exceeded our expectations here! Since receiving our photos last week, I have directed all of my family and friends to our online album to relive our perfect day. It feels incredible to share photos I feel confident in that really illustrate how beautiful our day felt. Of all our wedding vendors, Michael is the best decision we made. I plan to recommend him to everyone I know in the Dayton/Cincinnati area! read more

Can't say enough positive things about our whole wedding experience with The Carrs. From our first initial meeting, we knew we had to have Michael photograph our wedding! Photography was one of the single most important aspects to us, and we wanted the best, and The Carrs are truly the best. They helped us through the entire wedding planning process, from figuring out that ever daunting day-of timeline to hosting fun little parties to help their Brides relax, to most importantly reminding us to choose Joy on our wedding day and enjoy every second. And that joy is reflected in our photos! They have a killer studio and awesome style, and we are lucky to consider Michael & Grace friends now. They have an amazing staff (The Carrs & Co.) that go above and beyond to make your experience the best ever. They are fast to respond, fun, funny, and add so many personal touches so it's not just some guy photographing your wedding, it's an experience. I attended a Bridal Relaxation Bootcamp and a Teas & Timeline event, and we had a reveal party at their studio with wine and we got to see all our photos for the first time with Michael. Michael even traveled to Columbus for our engagement session since that is where we got engaged, and he was so accommodating when we wanted photos with our dog Oliver for both the engagement & wedding photos. We left the wedding photo locations up to him and had beautiful garden shots at Wegerzyn Gardens and urban shots downtown Dayton. One of the most important things is to make sure your personalities get along with your photographer's since you will spend the WHOLE day together, and my husband and I couldn't be more pleased in our decision to go with The Carrs. Worth every penny and more. Thank you for capturing our wedding day so beautifully! read more
