Carl Bower Photographs

Photographer

I am a documentary photographer, concerned with making revealing pictures of subjects both common and misunderstood. Several years ago, I began photographing weddings, approaching them as I would a book or a magazine story. Aside from the requisite group photos, I don't pose, set up, or stage my pictures in any way. I prefer to work with reality as I find it.

My standard package is $3,900 for up to eight hours of coverage, proof prints without markings, an online gallery, and digital files. Other options like books are available as well.I offer engagement sessions to wedding clients only, and do not do family portrait photography. Read more

    Our experience with Carl was amazing! He is a true artist and not just a wedding photographer. We received our pictures and they are stunning. We were astounded at the variety of photographs he was able to capture. He was everywhere. We were trying to figure out how he got around so quickly to take all the photos. Black and white and candid photos are timeless and elegant. Carl delivered on this concept 100%. Thank you, Carl!

    We have timeless memories of our wedding thanks to Carl and his talent. His photos truly tell a story and capture the emotion of the moment behind each photo. The commentary from others who have seen the collection has been overwhelming, and in each case my sentiments were echoed exponentially. "Striking" and "special" can easily be used to describe his work, and yet such words still fall a bit short of an accurate description. He will exceed your expectations.

    We checked out a handful of different photographers, and Carl's style really caught our eye. His photos are truly beautiful. Working with Carl was a pleasure. He had an obvious passion for making a work of art out of our special day, and he did it by waiting for moments to emerge, un-staged, that really captured the essence of our friends and family. We (and our guests) loved our photos.

    Carl did a wonderful job at our wedding capturing those fleeting moments and emotions that occur naturally. His style is real and will capture the story of your wedding day as it unfolds. We look back on our pictures now and remember the day as it was. That was of greatest importance to us in deciding who to chose as our wedding photographer.
