A few new portraits for a new chapter.For those who are new here, welcome. I’m Carson - the photographer behind Carson Holmes Photography.As I find myself nearly halfway through the busiest wedding season of my career, I’ve been reflecting on just how much this business has grown. What once felt like a dream has become a brand entrusted with documenting some of life’s most meaningful celebrations. Looking ahead and seeing 2027 already nearing full capacity is something I don’t take lightly, and it’s a constant reminder that none of this would be possible without the incredible couples who have chosen to trust me with their stories.This season has brought a renewed sense of clarity and purpose, and updating my headshots felt like a fitting way to reflect that. Not because the vision has changed, but because it has become more defined with every wedding, every couple, and every experience.At the heart of Carson Holmes Photography is a belief that the most meaningful images are the ones that feel effortless, intentional, and true. My approach blends documentary storytelling with an editorial perspective, allowing you to be fully present while I preserve the moments that matter most. The result is imagery that feels timeless, refined, and deeply personal - photographs that will hold their value for generations.To every couple who has welcomed me into such an important chapter of their lives, thank you. Your trust is something I will never take for granted.I’m incredibly proud of how far this journey has brought me, but even more excited for where it’s leading. This next chapter is only just beginning, and I have a feeling the best is still ahead.Hair/Makeup: @bridalrushboston Photos taken by @ericawarrenphoto and edited by me!

Jackie & David 🤍A day surrounded by an incredible amount of love and support. Watching the two of them move through their wedding day, completely present with the people they love most, is something I’ll never stop feeling grateful to witness.I say it all the time, but I truly never take this job for granted. Every wedding is a reminder of what an honor it is to document moments that mean so much.Saturday was simply beautiful from beginning to end. The weather was perfect, the people were extraordinary, and the vendor team made the entire day feel effortless. My heart is so full, and I’m feeling incredibly blessed to have been a small part of it all.Venue: @atkinsoncountryclub Photographer: @carsonholmesphotography Hair: Paige Sirum HairMakeup: Serenity Spa and SalonFlorist: @freshwaterfarmsnh @thefloraltique Entertainment: Main Event Entertainment Dessert: Whisk ChickNew England wedding photographer, film wedding photographer, digital and film wedding photography, romantic wedding photography, documentary wedding photographer, timeless wedding photos, true to color editing, editorial wedding photography, luxury wedding photographer, storytelling wedding photography by @carsonholmesphotography

I was way too excited not to share Part II of Maura & Conor’s engagement session! After exploring the castle, we made our way to the beach just in time for the most incredible sunset.I’m always a big fan of splitting an engagement session into two locations. By that point, you’ve settled in, you’re genuinely having fun, and you get the added bonus of an outfit change. It ends up feeling less like a photoshoot and more like an extended date night - and that’s exactly the kind of magic I love to capture.New England wedding photographer, film wedding photographer, digital and film wedding photography, romantic wedding photography, documentary wedding photographer, timeless wedding photos, true to color editing, editorial wedding photography, luxury wedding photographer, storytelling wedding photography by @carsonholmesphotography

My GOSH I love this job! 😍Maura & Conor absolutely nailed their engagement session last night in Gloucester, Massachusetts.We started the evening at Hammond Castle, and the moment I arrived, I was completely in awe. Before they got there, the groundskeeper kindly gave me a tour of the property, and with every hidden pathway, stone archway, and tucked-away corner, I found myself falling in love with it even more. Venues like this hold so much history and character, and that sense of timelessness adds something so special to every photograph.To end the evening, we made our way to a nearby beach just as the sun was setting. We kicked off our shoes, dipped our toes in the water, wandered through the waves, and soaked in the last golden light of the day. It was effortless, joyful, and the perfect way to close out such a beautiful evening together.New England wedding photographer, film wedding photographer, digital and film wedding photography, romantic wedding photography, documentary wedding photographer, timeless wedding photos, true to color editing, editorial wedding photography, luxury wedding photographer, storytelling wedding photography by @carsonholmesphotography

Where do I even begin?Last Friday’s engagement session with Maura & Conor was nothing short of magical. We started the evening at Hammond Castle, a location that beautifully complements the feel of their wedding venue. I always love choosing engagement session locations that reflect the atmosphere of the wedding day - it makes the entire experience feel even more intentional and connected.These castle portraits truly feel like something out of a storybook, and I can’t wait to share more. For now, enjoy a few of my favorite previews.New England wedding photographer, film wedding photographer, digital and film wedding photography, romantic wedding photography, documentary wedding photographer, timeless wedding photos, true to color editing, editorial wedding photography, luxury wedding photographer, storytelling wedding photography by @carsonholmesphotography

Boston weddings will always be some of my favorites. There’s something so special about the timeless architecture, the unmatched elegance, and the energy that fills the city streets.Last Friday, we celebrated Elena and Joey’s incredible wedding day, beginning at The Langham and ending with an unforgettable reception at State Room, overlooking Boston’s iconic clock tower. Watching every moment unfold was such a gift. From wandering the streets for portraits in front of the Old State House to an epic dance floor that kept the celebration going all night long, every part of the day felt intentional, joyful, and unforgettable.A day that perfectly captured the magic of celebrating in the heart of Boston 🤍Venue: @longwoodvenuesanddestinations Photographer: @carsonholmesphotography Content Creator: @carolinecarletonsocials Hair: @sassbykass Makeup: @chelseaelizabethbeauty Florals: @theflowerpotmaynard Entertainment: @wilsonstevensbands Coffee: @espresso_dave Candles: @candlemanlux New England wedding photographer, film wedding photographer, digital and film wedding photography, romantic wedding photography, documentary wedding photographer, timeless wedding photos, true to color editing, editorial wedding photography, luxury wedding photographer, storytelling wedding photography by @carsonholmesphotography

Over the next two days, I’ll be back in the city celebrating Elena & Joey, and I couldn’t be more excited 🤍🤭When we met last fall for their engagement session, the love, intention, and admiration they have for one another was impossible to miss. Their connection is the kind that draws you in - so genuine, so effortless, and honestly a little addictive to be around.Tonight, we’re kicking off the celebration in the North End before spending the weekend capturing every moment of their wedding festivities throughout the city tomorrow. Here’s hoping we get treated to some Fourth of July fireworks to top it all off!

There are a million incredibly talented photographers out there, and honestly, what a great time it is to be getting married because you have so many amazing options.But here’s the thing - photography isn’t just about the photos.It’s about the person you’re spending your entire wedding day with.My promise to every couple I work with is that I’m showing up 100%. Every single time.I’ll help keep things moving when the timeline gets tight. I’ll hype you up when you need confidence. I’ll make taking photos feel fun instead of awkward. I’ll fix your veil, carry your bouquet, grab you a drink, and probably end up laughing right alongside your wedding party.And while I’m all for a good time, I also know when to step back. Not every moment needs a camera in your face, and not every second needs direction.Some moments are best when they’re simply lived.At the end of the day, I want you to walk away feeling like you had the best day ever - not like you spent eight hours in a photoshoot.So yes, I’ll be documenting it all. But I’ll also be on the dance floor, singing every word, celebrating right alongside you.Because great photos are important.But having a photographer whose energy matches the experience you’re trying to create? That matters too 🤍New England wedding photographer, film wedding photographer, digital and film wedding photography, romantic wedding photography, documentary wedding photographer, timeless wedding photos, true to color editing, editorial wedding photography, luxury wedding photographer, storytelling wedding photography by @carsonholmesphotography

A message to all of my 2026 couples and future Carson Holmes Photography couples! 🤍I’m so excited to officially share that I’ve upgraded my heirloom album experience.If you have a few minutes, stay and watch the video to hear all about it. If not, I’ve included all the details below!One of my biggest goals has always been to create an experience that extends far beyond your wedding day. Your images deserve more than living on a screen - they deserve to be held, shared, and passed down for generations. With that in mind, I’ve thoughtfully refined my album offerings to focus on timeless, elegant pieces that feel right at home in any space.My signature heirloom albums now begin with a beautifully crafted 10x10 album featuring 10 spreads (20 pages), designed to showcase up to 20 of your favorite images. Additional spreads can be added to tell your story more fully if desired.Each album is finished in a natural linen cover, selected for its classic and enduring aesthetic. Every detail has been intentionally chosen to create something that feels elevated, meaningful, and built to last. These are the kinds of images that deserve to jump off the page and be experienced in a tangible way.For couples whose galleries have already been delivered this year, keep an eye on your inbox - you’ll be receiving information about these new offerings shortly. For all future couples, heirloom albums will become part of our conversation as we approach your wedding day and after your gallery is delivered.If this is something you’re interested in learning more about, I’d love to chat. I’m incredibly excited to offer these beautiful keepsakes and help preserve your memories in a way that can be enjoyed for generations to come.Xx, Carson 🤍 by @carsonholmesphotography
