Société Portrait was founded by Carrie McGuire, a fine-art wedding photographer with over a decade of experience capturing celebrations throughout Southern California and beyond.

After years of photographing weddings, Carrie noticed something missing at receptions—the opportunity for guests to be photographed beautifully, intentionally, and with the same level of care as the couple themselves. Société Portrait was created to fill that space.

Blending editorial direction with studio-grade lighting, Société Portrait offers a refined alternative to the traditional photo booth. Each guest is thoughtfully guided, never rushed, and photographed in timeless black-and-white—resulting in imagery that feels polished, celebratory, and enduring.

Rooted in a love for weddings, fashion, and human connection, Société Portrait is designed to feel seamless within the flow of a celebration. It’s not an interruption—it’s an experience. One that couples are proud to offer their guests, and guests are excited to take part in.
