Carla Mitchell Photography

We feel so blessed to have had Ryan Domenico photograph our intimate elopement in Queenstown through Carla Mitchell Photography and the Queenstown Elopements team. The service is outstanding and we had our full gallery within the month. The photos are exceptional, and we couldn’t be happier with how perfectly they capture the essence of the day. They are truly masters at the work they do. We would 100% recommend Carla (and Ryan), and will be looking to book them again for an anniversary shoot.

Carla was absolutely amazing on or special day, she was so much more than a photographer, she was a friend too. Thank you Carla, we adore our wedding photos.

Carla is an amazing photographer. Made us feel relaxed and comfortable while taking pictures of us on our wedding day. I would recommend her 100%. She is professional, answers all the questions you might have. Working with her was a pleasure!

Nat and the team at Carla Mitchell Photography's work on our wedding day was nothing short of amazing! The weather wasn't working with us that day (or so we thought), but they managed to use it to their advantage and capture the most stunning shots of our day. We got a handful of sneak peek shots a few days after our special day and we were obsessed. It's only been a couple of months and we've already got prints all over the house. Highly recommend them for your special day.

Carla was absolutely amazing! She made us feel so warm and relaxed throughout the day and we are so in love with her photos! Thank you Carla for making our day so special!

We highly recommend Carla as a wedding photographer. My now husband and I are from Auckland, and never met Carla until the day of the wedding, in Queenstown. We picked her because we felt that her photos captured all the right moments from every wedding. We were at first anxious about not having the opportunity to meet her in person before the wedding day, because we had a traditional Filipino wedding with rituals during the ceremony. However the moment we met Carla, all our worries left us because she was super friendly, efficient and attentive. She told us not to worry because she will be capturing everything, and she kept her promise, she captured EVERYTHING! All the moments that mattered and more! Carla made us feel comfortable during the shoots and we had so much fun. She was very patient and flexible when all our guests started requesting photos with us, and she even stayed a bit longer than agreed when speeches started to run over time. Carla captured beautiful photos of our guests as well. We treasure every photo and we're so glad we picked Carla. It was definitely the best decision ever!!! Thank you Carla for giving us something very special! Your love and passion for your work really shines through! Thank you!

Carla is wonderful - as a photographer and a person. I am so thankful I found her and that she was available to shoot our small & relaxed wedding in February 2022.To begin, we knew we wanted to do a sunrise 'first look' shoot prior to the ceremony and with the weather forecasted to be acting up and indecision of which location up until the night before, Carla was so flexible, incredibly patient, super helpful in considering all of our worries, and very calm which was appreciated in that stressful time. After helping us decide, the morning of the shoot, even though we had never physically met, I instantly felt comfortable with her - which is huge for such a nerve-racking day and with the feeling of a camera on you. The photos speak for themselves. Four months later, and I'm still in awe. She didn't make us pose in unnatural ways, always encouraged natural movement and doing whatever we felt best with her professional guidance. The small ceremony was a whirlwind and having already established trust with her that morning, it all felt natural and soothing to have her there capturing our sweet and special day.We can't recommend and thank her enough. I consider myself a laidback, embracing natural elements, and not always comfortable in front of a camera kind of person, and Carla was above and beyond a perfect match to capture the day. Timeless photos that I feel I'll never be sick of!

Carla is such an amazing photographer! She photographed our wedding in February and her friendly chill vibe made the whole process a breeze. Carla was so helpful in the planning stages and then on the day she was fun to have around and absolutely brilliant at organizing the bridal party and guests when needed, to get the perfect shot.When we received our sneak peak our jaws hit the floor! We couldn’t believe how amazing the photos were! We were even more in awe of her talent when we received all our photos, they are all so beautiful and perfectly capture the love and happiness throughout the day.Thank you so much Carla!

We couldn't recommend Carla enough. From our initial meeting we knew she was the perfect photographer to capture our special day. From the early shots to later in the day, she knew exactly how to capture the moment. Everyone felt so at ease and welcome around Carla. I loved how Carla directed us what to do while also making us feel comfortable. She captured the most special, candid shots and we couldn't be happier with our photos.

My wife and I are so happy. The pictures are amazing, we loved all of them. Carla is a spectacular photographer. We had a great day with Carla, she made us feel comfortable all the time and she is really funny. Thank You Carla.
