About

Carmela Blackwell Photography is a Tampa and Lakeland area wedding photographer who frequently travels around the Southeast chasing waterfalls, gorgeous natural light, and down to earth, romantic couples.She is passionate about telling the real love story between two people who have chosen to spend their lives together. Owner Carmela has felt a connection to wedding photography for her entire life, so it seemed only natural to make a career out of this interest. She feels honored for every opportunity she’s given to be part of a couple’s special day.

Services Offered
Carmela Blackwell Photography primarily shoots in natural and traditional styles. However, she understands that each couple has unique tastes and interests, so no two weddings are ever shot exactly the same. The company specializes in making sure every moment and detail is documented, so they utilize second shooters and only book one event per day. They are also happy to work additional hours and travel to multiple locations as needed. Before the big day, couples can schedule engagement shoots to become more comfortable in front of the camera and create even more special memories together. All final photographs are high-resolution and delivered via digital files in an online gallery. Prints are available upon request.

Amazing photos!

Carmella was over the top excellent! We only have our preview photos so far and they are already unbelievably gorgeous. Not only is her work great, but her professionalism, compassion and ability to go with the flow is amazing. We had some hiccups with people being late and she seamlessly shifted things around to make sure it was all still perfect. She is a true professional. Thank you!

Amazing photographer

Carmella was amazing. When she first got to the wedding she introduced herself and explained everything she was going to do. She check on me and my bridesmaids often to inform us when we were doing our photos. After the ceremony she did our photos and even asked my husband and I if we needed anything to drink. Her photos look amazing that I have got. She was very surprised that we got her a birthday cake since our wedding was on her birthday and even though we did that she was so grateful and made sure to thank us before she left that night. I will recommend her to anyone that needs a photographer for their special day.

Beyond Excellent

Carmela is the most gentile and kind photographer you will meet. She guides you during the entire photo session and worked super well with out videographers. We got come beautiful photos of our wedding day and engagement session that my husband and I will cherish the rest of your lives. She is very punctual and made us feel comfortable being in front of the camera for some lovely candid shots. Compared to alot of other photographers, her prices are excellent and she has far better picture quality than most. Can't recommend more highly.

What an incredible photographer and artist! Carmen (and her team) have that special eye for details. She is THE photographer I recommend to my clients and they always thank me afterwards. Even when she is the solo shooter, she seems to be everywhere, catching every moment.
