Hi, My name is Brian Carter. Gear and Galleries below!

​

I'm a Freelance Photographer who is currently based out of North Jersey, but serves most of the East Coast. Seriously, I worked in 8 states last year, a lot of times in the same weekend.

I picked up a camera for the first time in 2016, started taking weddings a little more seriously around 2018 and have been self-employed since 2021, which makes my heart so happy to say.

I've shot probably around 125 weddings total, with the majority of those being the past 3 seasons. Life is hectic (I'm sure you relate), but I'll be doing my best to occasionally update this site with galleries from those. I work anywhere from 15-45 weddings a year based on demand (ie 2022's boom was way crazier than 2023).

​

Typically, I look to make $70+ / hour for second shooting work or $500-$600 for a day. The galleries are full compressed, unedited jpgs for transparency of the work you can expect from me. Make sure you like it & let's go from there! Associate Rates at $100-$125/hr

​

Do I shoot OCF? The answer is kind of. I'm not a softbox wizard type. I do have two Godox V3's and will often use my second flash in tight hotel rooms, reception and for fun at night. I prefer mobility & flexibility, so small little rectangle softboxes and magmods have been very good to me this past year.
