For the ones who love deeply, laugh loudly, and dance vivaciously. Having a photographer who is completely dedicated to documenting your love story in all the right ways is a main ingredient to the recipe of your wedding day. With over twelve years of experience in capturing couples in love and their people I am ready to document each moment, big, small, and everything in between. So keep on scrolling and live through the stories I proudly tell.

Carrie is the absolute best!! She did an amazing job with our engagement photos and wedding!! She is so easy to talk to and I felt like she got ever shot I wanted and more!! I was so impressed when the photos came back!! I had many people even ask me if we had two photographers because she was able to get so many good shots!! She even stayed over her paid time at our wedding to get some extra photos for us (even though I told her she did not need to!) I will definitely hire her in the future for family portraits!! She is such a nice friendly person and great photographer!!

YOUR NEW BEST FRIEND

Lead Photographer Carrie at Caroline Rose Photography, a documentary wedding photographer in Columbus, Ohio

Hello friend!

I'm so happy you are here so let's get acquainted! My name is Caroline Rose O'Brien but my friends call me Carrie and I am the lead photographer of Caroline Rose Photography situated here in Columbus, Ohio (but I LOVE traveling)! When I'm not capturing life's most precious moments both big and small, I'm playing volleyball, eating french fries, petting a dog or snuggling my own wrapped up in a blanket.

I have loved photography for as long as I can remember. From a very young age I noticed my photos brought others an irreplaceable excitement so I've been chasing that same feeling ever since. I specialize in a documentary & photojournalistic style of photography and though I love to capture every part of life, weddings are definitely where my heart lies. So if you are looking for real and romantic images and a silly hype gi
rl who likes to yap, let's get coffee and chat!

LET'S TELL YOUR STORY TOGETHER

Kind Words

If we could give Carrie more than 5 stars we would. We found Carrie through a search on Instagram, and instantly knew her photography style was what we were looking for. We hired Carrie for engagement photos as well as our wedding and were completely blown away not only by her incredible photography skills, but by her fun personality, quick and helpful responses, and overall professionalism. I also booked Carrie for a boudoir shoot before our wedding, and we had an amazing time. We instantly felt at ease with her, and the assistant she brought to the wedding, Anne, was kind, fun, and helpful. I'm sure she gets this A LOT, but Carrie is the kind of person you instantly want to be friends with. We will be recommending her forever, and hope to have a reason to hire her again!

I don't just capture love,
I capture life

LET'S GO ON AN ADVENTURE TOGETHER

I’m here to do a lot more than just show up with a camera. I’ll carry your dress so it doesn't get stepped on. I’ll pin your boutonnieres so no one ends up impaled before the ceremony. I’ll fix the flyaways, fluff the train, remind you how to cut the cake. And yes, I’ll document the whole thing beautifully and  candidly all the while.

With over twelve years of photographing weddings around the country, I’ve seen just about everything. The timeline that runs perfectly. The timeline that takes on a new form halfway through the day. The unexpected rain. The missing rings. Pants splitting on the dance floor. None of it rattles me— because chances are, I’ve handled it before and with a smile.

I know when to step in, when to step back, and when to let a moment breathe. You won’t feel overly directed, but you also won’t feel lost either. Ask the questions. Send me the Pinterest board inspiration you've gathered since you were a teen. Loop me in on the family drama. I want you fully present on your wedding day, not worrying about what should happen next. My job isn’t just to photograph one of the most important days of your life.

It’s to make sure you actually get to enjoy it while I capture it exactly as it felt.
