Exceptional, fun, and creative people and photography!
Carly Romeo & Co. truly goes above and beyond in delivering exceptional photography. We were blown away upon opening our wedding album and continue to look back at the photos finding new moments and feelings each time. Our photographer Carletta not only captured the beauty and immensity of our venue, but also the emotion, tone, and subtleties of the day all while managing to give great direction and make us laugh hysterically. Carly and Carletta truly enriched our wedding day experience and we cannot send enough gratitude their way!-

Everything We Wanted
Carly Romeo & Co was the first vendor I chose when I got engaged - I've been following her on Instagram for years. It's obvious they have the technical/artistic skills from the portfolios, but I was really worried about a good personality fit as well. They went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and confident in the planning process, engagement shoot, and on our wedding day - having Carly at the wedding felt like having an extra friend there. I especially appreciated their commitment to COVID safety and help downsizing my wedding to a micro-wedding, because our original plans fell through over and over again during the planning process (got engaged October 2019). Carly and her team were there every step of the way to assure us that we could still get the pictures we wanted, but more importantly the day we wanted. I can't recommend them highly enough. -

Incredible!
Carly did an amazing job with the photos for our last minute elopement in September 2020. We chose Carly because we really wanted to have a queer-friendly photographer with plenty of multi-cultural wedding experience, but she really went above and beyond our expectations. She got everyone's pronouns right, she made everyone feel comfortable, and she was fun to be around. The photos turned out beautifully. The questionnaire she sent before the wedding was detailed and helped us consider topics and issues we hadn't even thought about or put into words. I would absolutely recommend Carly to anyone planning a wedding, big or small!-

Irreplaceable experience with Carly Romeo & Co - 10 out of 10.
Our wedding would not have been the same without Carly Romeo & Co - absolutely a game changer! I LOVED our engagement and wedding photos. Not only is Carly fun and relaxing to be around, she is insanely talented and authentic. She made us feel at ease and was a rock for both of us during our wedding day. Whenever I look through our wedding photos I feel like I'm reliving the whole day. She did a beautiful job capturing genuine moments from our special day. I cannot recommend Carly enough!! -

Absolutely fantastic – unique and inspired!
Carly and her team blew us away. Their photography beautifully captures real moments, authentic emotion, and the subtle details that make a wedding (and a partnership) unique. We were drawn to Carly for her feminist, diversity-focused approach to wedding photography and her journalistic style, and we were not disappointed. Our wedding photos are stunning – they celebrate every person and moment, from the serious to the silly, without even a hint of anything cliché or manufactured.
Carly and Leah were amazing people to have in our corner on the day of our wedding. They put us at ease, let us be ourselves, and had an incredible eye for fun and inventive shots. We are so grateful we got to work with such incredible talented people!!-

Words can't express how amazing Carly is
When we decided to get engaged, I had already decided that one thing was non-negotiable- Carly Romeo had to be our photographer. Carly is the best in the business, hands down. Not only is she at the top of her game in terms of craft- she is changing the narrative of weddings and wedding photography. She is actually making the world a better place. Our engagement photos (taken in NYC, where we live) and our wedding photos (in Richmond, VA) are beyond what we could have ever imagined. Carly doesn't just capture the check boxes of a wedding- she captures the soul and the spirit of the entire day and of every single person there. We cannot recommend Carly highly enough. We love her!! -

Easy breezy beautiful
I first saw Carly Romeo & Co and knew they were the right photographers for our wedding. We wanted photos that captured our relationship and the life we live, not something that was posed and forced. I was stoked when they were available for our date and was paired with Sarah. Sarah was easy going and comfortable to work with, as it's a little nerve wracking having a camera in your face. Sarah was flexible with what we were thinking for our engagement photos and willing to explore just about anywhere for them.
We chose the location for our wedding ceremony based on our love of the area and the natural beauty and was thrilled to see Sarah was able to capture that, along with some amazing photos of us and our friends and family. I look at our photos everyday! -I love them and loved working with Sarah and Carly and everyone that has anything to do with their team.-

September 2019 Wedding at Mountain Lake Lodge
I had seen Carly's work from a friend's wedding and my partner and I knew we wanted to use her company as soon as we started planning our wedding. Not only are her photos beautiful, the values of her company were very important to us. Once we booked with them, they sent us a couple sweet cards, magazines and treats that were such a nice touch.
Our photographer, Sarah Schultz-Taylor, was so easy to work with. She was very responsive to planning emails and gave great guidance. On the day of, Sarah and her second shooter Storm were great at being calming influences while I was having minor freakouts as well as doing a good job of keeping us on our timeline without being pushy. My husband and I were a little uncomfortable being photographed so much at first but they did such a great job of giving us direction that felt natural. Neither of them seemed underfoot or obtrusive but the photos we got are so personal and special. AND the whole, beautiful, amazing gallery was delivered to us in just around 1 month!! That is unheard of!!
If you are considering booking with Carly Romeo and Co- DO IT! Thank you so much Carly, Sarah, Storm and the rest of the team!!!-

Carly was Amazing!
The pictures, obviously, were amazing. We'd seen her work. But she was so easy to work with and didn't make us do the cheesy poses and worked quickly so we could enjoy our cocktail hour. She directed traffic and kept everyone feeling excited and happy. She was all over the place at the reception and captured everything!
Contact with her before the wedding was great. She didn't bombard us with questions but she was always there to answer ours. Her team had quick turn around with the full gallery after the wedding too. -

The Best of the Best
Carly's portfolio speaks for itself - If you haven't had a chance to look at the photos captured by her and her team, just scroll through. It is truly stunning the way she captures authentic moments and emotions on days that can so easily be overrun by stuffy or cliche poses or pinterest-y shots. Having Carly shoot our wedding was a non-negotiable for us - We would have changed our date to make sure we got on her calendar, seriously. She makes you feel comfortable, reminds you to ground yourself in moments with your partner, and captures even the smallest moments in time that you'll look back on forever. All of our guests knew her name and raved about her . The values she holds as a business owner and human being are critical in this huge machine of a wedding industry. We love Carly, Leah, Fin, and the team, and can't say enough good things about them. -

Carly is a gem!
Carly is just the best. Her professionalism and expertise are off the charts, but most importantly for that day of and the moments leading up to it, she's just delightful to be around. This made a massive difference in myself and my partner's comfort levels and I think it's the reason why we have photos we LOVE and that feel like us. We are so happy with the whole experience and have gotten a TON of compliments from friends and family members. Thank you, Carly! -

The very best humans and the best experience.
Carly and her team were a dream to work with from start to finish. As awkward introverts, my partner and I knew we wanted a talented extrovert like Carly to help gently guide us as we figured out how to pose and feel comfortable in front of the camera. We were so delighted by how our photos turned out and our family and friends have not stopped gushing, both about the photos and the experience of hanging out with Carly on our wedding day. (Our friends' four-year-old now refers to her as "my friend Carly.") It was also really important to work with a photographer whose values are aligned with ours, and we found that in Carly. We can't wait to receive the photo album that is included in all of her photography packages. Thank you to the whole C Ro & Co team! -

Carly was absolutely stellar! My husband (!) and I both agreed that she was our number-one vendor at the wedding. She was professional, flexible, and a blast to spend the day with, and kept the show running smoothly even with the usual chaos of bridesmaids/groomsmen/kiddos. The portraits and formals are gorgeous, and she picked a beautiful on-site location for our first look. Our church only allowed shooting from the back balcony, but she nevertheless got some wonderful shots. She captured so many small moments that would have gone unnoticed otherwise and was totally game when we hopped a Lyft to our reception and stopped to shoot some hoops in a park on the way. And I love that she's dedicated to making sure you get prints and an album—her photos are too good to be stuck on a hard drive! They're real heirlooms.-

Choosing a queer-friendly, feminist photographer was at the top of our list when it came to wedding vendors. Working with Carly was an absolute dream, and I wouldn't change a thing about our engagement shoot or our wedding day. Carly is so much more than a wedding photographer. She really gets to know each person individually, and also gets to know you as a couple. When we said we wanted to do our engagement shoot in the mountains, SHE suggested a sunrise hike to the top of a beautiful vista. She has the most creative ideas and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, which is kind of a big deal because at first we were nervous about someone else being privy to some pretty intimate moments. Working with the Carly Romeo & Co. crew was a lovely experience, hands down! -

The entire team at Carly Romeo & Co. was great to work with! Our photographer, Sarah, did such an incredible job capturing both the broader vibe and intimate moments of the day...with grace and humor. She found so many lovely, emotional shots here and there and it never felt like she was obtrusive or underfoot. We're blown away by her photos and could not wait to share them. You all are amazing. Thank you. -

I was really, really nervous and stressed heading into my wedding. You would never know it from the photos though! Carly and her team put me & my husband at ease every step of the way. She was so fun to work with, and the images she captured are absolutely stunning. Rich with color, and everyone looks so beautiful! I had asked her for lots of candies of people celebrating, and she delivered above and beyond my expectations. The posed portraits are beautiful too, as are the shots of the scenery and decorations. The photo album and prints look so beautiful, and the images look awesome on social media. I could not recommend Carly more highly. If you want a fun, calm presence with a brilliant eye who will deliver everything you want for your wedding photography and then some, choose Carly Romeo!!-

Of all the many things to stress about in a wedding, I was not expecting to find myself too concerned about the photographer. But the more I looked, the more uneasy I felt about it. Everything I saw when looking was staged and corny and saccharine -- and worst of all, everything I saw looked so uncomfortably, cringing-ly *heteronormative*. (I never thought I'd use such a vocab word in a wedding review!). Then, I found out the original photographer I was about to hire held what I felt were pretty terrible political views, and I kind of freaked out. That's when I found Carly. Holy crap, wedding photography AND feminism?! Could this be true?! And her portfolio was amazing! Carly agreed to match the quote I had been given and sent Matt out for my big day. The pictures were just beautiful, and captured the day so well. We did no posing, no weird staging, no grooms as props or other weird princess-bride nonsense. Just laughter, and joy, and love. They also were super flexible about working with a friend of mine who had agreed to be a second shooter as a wedding gift. The pictures were stunning, but I can't even describe how much of a relief it was to know that the people working behind the scenes shared my most deeply-held values. I know to some people the idea that politics might penetrate all aspects of your life is kind of a turn-off, but I felt like, especially on an occasion like this, it was so important to me that the people working with us understood us on this level. Anyway, the wedding album also just arrived for the holidays and my family was blown away by the quality of the physical book. Carly also sent me a little gift with a teabag, just cause! I can't recommend Carly and her team enough, and I so insanely grateful that she and her team were part of my day, and gave us the most beautiful photographs that we will cherish forever. Carly saved me! I can't thank Carly enough for providing this service, and Matt for capturing the day. -

When we began planning our wedding, Carly was my one non-negotiable. I saw her photos and was immediately blown away. I knew she was the only person I wanted to shoot our wedding and reception. When we had our first phone call, I was immediately blown away. Not only did she have a strong commitment to the values that my now-husband and I hold dear (equality, justice, tolerance), but she also seemed like the kind of person I'd want to be friends with. I couldn't have possibly imagined just how special she'd make our wedding day, and she approached it with grace, creativity and a clear passion for being a part of people's love stories.
My husband and I were married in a private ceremony which meant Carly was so much more than a photographer. She was the kick-ass support system I needed in the limo ride to our ceremony while I was jittery and freaking out in the moments before our wedding. She captured amazing photos while we both cried our eyes out as we exchanged our vows. When I was exhausted and pretty much done smiling and posing for photos, she was good for a quick get-yourself-together pep talk to keep me motivated. Most importantly, she won over my two step-daughters and got them involved in our big day and enlisted them as photo assistants, complete with a loaner instant camera.
The photos were stunning, candid beautiful representations of one of the best days of my life and they captured our weird, offbeat family and friends for who they are. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Carly to anyone. She was truly the wedding MVP and I'm so thankful that we got to work with her. -

Carly was EVERYTHING I wanted and more in a wedding photographer. We instantly vibed on my vision for the wedding... I wanted to capture all of the special moments, emotion, and hilarious family/friend interactions, while passing on the cheesy staged photos and bride-centric glam shots. I appreciated the opportunity to chat and fill out the questionnaire before the wedding so we could make sure we were all on the same page. On the day of, Carly instantly put us (nervous and awkward humans who don't like to be center of attention) at ease and allowed us to focus our attention on each other and all the loved ones surrounding us. She captured all the fun, intimate, chaotic, hilarious, and touching moments of the day, while also highlighting all of the little things that made our wedding unique. Sneaking away for a golden hour couple photo shoot ended up being such a special time for us to exhale and ground ourselves amidst the craziness. Carly has an uncanny ability of tricking you into thinking you're just chatting with your new spouse but little do you know that you are actually GLOWING and looking so chic and natural in all your new favorite photos. Needless to say, her final product wowed us.... Her timing and eye for detail was impeccable! We loved all of the candid shots of the mixing and mingling of all of our guests, as well as some epic dance floor pics. Our friends and family are still raving about the pics and we're daily discovering new favorites. Worth every penny! THANK YOU CARLY.

If you like the combination of progressivism, great quality photos, and flawless customer service, look no further.
I chose Carly Romeo and Co to photograph my Baltimore wedding based on the company's feminism, queer-friendliness, and strong mission statement about how they see the role of their business in making a positive difference in the world.
Matt had a calm approach, great ideas for composition, and made sure to ask for and listen to my preferences. He easily navigated my interfaith, multi-lingual ceremony. The mix of color and black and white photos were gorgeous. They were also delivered quickly via digital gallery and thumb drive. The complimentary prints Carly sent were of very high quality. -

We loved working with Carly (Carly Romeo & Co.)! Our number one photography goal was to capture the joy and excitement of the day. Specifically, we wanted candid photos and Carly delivered! Our friends and family LOVE the photographs of them laughing, dancing, and catching up throughout the night. Carly was also great to remind us to take time for ourselves. She was able to sneak us away for some personal photographs that are lovely. Carly did a great job of capturing the moment without making it seem too staged or asking us to do cheesy poses. We highly recommend Carly for couples wanting to have a blast and not worry about fitting into a specific box. -

If you are still shopping around for a photographer, look no further. Carly was a delight to work with; very responsive, flexible and accommodating. We actually found Carly through a referral from our wedding planner and we couldn't have been happier.
Carly brought another photographer with, so we had double coverage. The photographs they took for our wedding were stunning; guests have been raving about how the essence of each moment was captured without anything looking staged or awkward.
We also had a lot of fun taking formal pictures; Carly injected some fun games through out the whole process to make us very relaxed and elicit the best reactions which were caught on camera. -

Carly from Carly Romeo & Co. was fantastic. Her pre-wedding questionnaire allowed her to get to know us a little and what we were looking for, and she did a phenomenal job of getting us both relaxed and opened up during our couple’s photo shoot. She truly managed to capture not just our joy in being married, but the heart and spirit of the wedding itself. -

I had a hunch about Carly when looking at her pictures online that i'd like her. I appreciated that she said she was a feminist photographer and I like that it was about community, not just the bride. Meeting her made me sure I wanted to book her. Hanging out with her on my wedding day made me want to be her friend. I'm not a huge fan of having my picture taken, but when someone makes it easy to smile and feel like yourself, it makes it so much more enjoyable! On top of that, I have the most GORGEOUS pictures of my wedding day that make me look like ME. The other shooter Carly brought was just as awesome (much love, Matt). I can't recommend Carly Romeo & Co more highly. -

Carly is absolutely amazing! We couldn't possibly be any happier that we went with her, and I'd recommend her a thousand times over. She is kind, quick to respond, flexible, and professional. She made our wedding day even more fun, and kept everyone smiling and comfortable the whole time. Our photos look absolutely GORGEOUS. She and Matt really captured what's special about me and my wife's relationship. We felt a little nervous during our bridal portraits (not used to having lots of pictures taken of us, or wearing big dresses, etc.) but Carly had all these little games to get us to loosen up and be ourselves. She's extremely talented and I highly recommend her! -

Carly and her team were absolutely fabulous and captured our wedding perfectly. Matt was unobtrusive yet somehow managed to snap amazing photos of the most special moments. They were super responsive leading up to our wedding, were prompt and professional on-site and we got all 1200 photos back just 1 month after our wedding. Would highly recommend this awesome team. -

I can't say enough about how lovely Two Spoons Photography is. We were a little hesitant at first because the cost was more than we initially planned for our photographer. We had set aside a VERY small budget for a photographer because we're not huge on pictures and the idea of someone in our face snapping pictures all day was dreadful. I am SO glad we decided to bump up our photographer budget so we could have Two Spoons at our wedding (Bonus-Carly was SUPER patient about the extended period it took us to make the decision to book). Our head photographer was Matt, and he was a wonderful presence to have at the wedding. He was so calm, unobtrusive, and completely understanding about the limited time we had set aside for photos. It takes a very special artist to work completely on someone else's terms (and he is an artist based on the incredible pictures he took) and Matt completely pulled it off. Also, Two Spoon's feminist philosophy led to beautiful portraits that captured us, our friends, and our family just as we were-all radiantly happy that day-with no unnecessary doctoring to make us look like mannequins. Two Spoons is feminism at its best-open minded, loving, and up for anything! -

Carly was our ideal wedding photographer. My wife and I had a rather small and low-key wedding, but really wanted great photographs to remember the day by. Carly's portfolio really stood out to us when we looking around for photographers, and we liked how real and natural the people and places looked.
We hit it off with Carly immediately, and after meeting her never worried one bit that she understood our expectations and had it all under control. She guided us through the process and expected very little from us during the hectic planning phase of the wedding.
On the day, Carly and her second shooter arrived and were as much fun as some of our guests. She made sure we got every picture we asked for, and several of our guests even commented about how friendly she was. Zero stress.
Finally - the pictures themselves are exactly what we wanted. Not a single cliche pose, but a huge number of really excellent shots that really captured the mood of the day. We keep finding new favorites when we go back and look. Highly, highly recommended.

Oh my goodness, Carly was amazing. I loved her philosophy and dropped her a note before I was even ready to hire a photographer. She was friendly, helpful and super responsive. Beyond that, the photos from our wedding turned out amazing. She got the standard wedding shots but her mastery, her art, is really in all the beautiful moments she caught between my husband and me that we weren't really posing for. If you're looking for an artist who will capture the love, joy, and community of your wedding or special event I could not recommend Carly and co more! Thank you!!! -

Carly is INCREDIBLE. We liked her as soon as we met her and our opinion of her just kept rising as we got to know her. She strikes that balance between being laid-back and professional perfectly. We knew we were in good hands the whole time and felt so at ease with her, something that is pretty impressive considering that it's an unusual experience having someone following you around all day with a camera. The pictures from our engagement session and wedding day are amazing. Seriously. Our photos are unlike anyone else's and feel so perfectly US. Like her overall style, Carly's photos of us reflect serious talent and expertise while also being playful and loving.
We can't recommend Carly highly enough. She seems to go above and beyond in everything she does. I hope you're lucky enough to work with her! -

It's difficult to know where to begin.
Carly is the antidote to all the one-note wedding photography in the world. Our wedding was a gathering of friends and family who would never be in the same place again, and the fact that they were there to celebrate and support us was what was important to my partner and I. When we explained this to Carly, she just got it. Our (many!) photos from the day contain luminous shots of ourselves, the happy couple, of course. But more importantly, the photos she captured of our guests are the ones that make me cry. A wedding goes by so fast, and seeing snaps of kids playing in the setting sun, of my grandpa nursing a glass of red wine, of friends trying to sort out the wonky sound system---those pictures are so important to us.
Carly is ebullient, so enjoyable to be around, but totally even-keeled. Weddings are crazy. You want a flexible, adaptable, easy going photographer. My family loves Carly after our wedding---she climbed a twelve foot ladder to get a few shots that my now-husband wanted, which was a neat party trick that impressed everyone. She accommodates guests as well as she can, while keeping her priority on the bride and groom.
Carly runs a smart, compassionate, woman-owned business with values that resonate. She is always striving to do better. Do not wait to book this photographer! Carly---thank you. -

Outstanding Photography!!!!!!!!!!!
We could not have been happier with Two Spoons photography for my daughters wedding. Carly and crew were exemplary!!!!!!! Carly and team have a true “fire” when capturing the beauty of happiness! Their passion for photography shows in every picture they took. The professionalism they have is unmatched. We so appreciated their efforts at staying on schedule, ability to work with a sometimes wayward crowd, great priceing, their energy, their talent, the fun they created and their ability to blend into the group as well as their endless flexibility. The team traveled quite a distance to be at our event and seemed happy to do it. Carly was able to see things at our venue that made even our traditional pictures “pop”. She really has an eye for getting a person in the right place at the right time to make every picture look magazine worthy. Carly and her team delivered exact what we wanted-beautiful, artistic, high qualities photographs of one of the best days of our lives. Blending in the gorgeous background of our venue was very important to us and they did with such elegance and taste that we are brought to tears by some of the breathtaking pictures they created. Two Spoons worked perfectly with our videographer, family and all the other staff at the wedding. One of the best things about Two Spoons is that you can tell they love their job. They seemed to have just as much fun as our guests. Carly truly cares about her clients and we loved and will continue to love every shot they got. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to the best photographers ever!

We absolutely loved working with Carly! Our pictures are fabulous and we look forward to flipping through them for many years to come. Carly was able to capture every moment beautifully even when it was raining. She made formal picture taking a breeze by making us laugh and having fun with our group. We had about 175 people at our wedding and Carly was able to get everyone in the pictures - she captured the important events at the wedding, the little details, and all of the funny impromptu things that happened too (even some we didn't know about until seeing the pics!). She managed to quickly edit and compile over 800 photos for us (less than two weeks after the wedding) so we had them just as we were getting home from our honeymoon. We couldn't have asked for anything more and will definitely recommend her for our friends' future weddings. -

Question: what do you do when your partner wants a traditional wedding, but you're kind of squirmy about all the hoopla?
Answer: You find ways to infuse old traditions with your own values. You look kindred spirits in the wedding industry who know what you're talking about. If that sounds like you and you're looking for a photographer, you've found her.
Finding Carly's article on Offbeat Bride was an epiphany. I was immediately impressed by her talent. She has a warm, classic style that maintains a modern edge. Her work is evocative without being sappy. She has an excellent sense of what small details are meaningful, so you won't get end up with 50 photos of your empty shoes when you really wanted more of your family doing the YMCA.
Working with her was like hanging out with an old friend we hadn't seen in a long time. If you hate having your picture taken or don't think you're photogenic (like me!), you'll change your mind after seeing yourself the way Carly does. She has a way of making you feel so comfortable in front of the camera, you forget it's there. We had no doubt that our photos would turn out wonderfully. I was especially pleased with how she handled the posed portraits our families wanted - we looked happy, natural, and not Olan Mills-y at all.
Carly is full of creative suggestions to answer any questions you might have. She was particularly accommodating of the special requests we made, and discretely navigated family dynamics and big personalities in a way that put everyone at ease. She worked seamlessly with the other vendors at our wedding to help everything run smoothly. She's basically a wedding doula.
She was quick to return photos to us after the wedding, which was quite a feat since she was travelling. The photo albums are lovely, and our families are delighted with them. The albums seem really durable, too. I'm looking forward to showing them off when I'm an old biddy and insisting they become family heirlooms. -

I feel so lucky to know Carly, let alone to have had her shoot our wedding. I knew I wanted beautiful photos in a photojournalistic style (i.e. not posed and people-focused), but those photographers were super pricey. Carly was technically overbudget, but it was such an easy decision to go over when we hired her because we loved her so much; now I realize we got lucky in getting the same quality for an unbelievable price. She was by far the best wedding-related decision we made, but the quality of her photos is the least of it, outweighed by her experience and efficiency, deft touch with people, and thoughtfulness about marriage generally. I fell in like with her in reading her (smart but not preachy) views on marriage equality and feminism, and that feeling was cemented in person. Closer to the wedding, I just wanted it all over with because our caterer was awful to deal with, and Carly was so sympathetic and upbeat. The day of, Carly took the usual great shots (groom crying at altar as I came down the aisle) but also elicited happy photos from surly in-laws, all while moving everything along quickly. Speaking of: trust her expertise! I was against portraits, but not only did she get great pictures of my husband and I (the least photogenic people ever) by asking questions or chatting to keep us from thinking/smiling awkwardly, she even got great shots with our dogs (incl. the 2x they looked up at the same time). Moreover, the 20 minutes we spent walking from the church to the venue taking portraits were the calmest, happiest ones of the whole day. Even my hyperlogical math teacher dad called her “amazing” and “at one with the spirit of the day.” Finally, her eye is extraordinary. Some of my favorite pictures are of details (compositions?) that never would have occurred to me, like a shot of a vintage window decal in the jazz club hosting the reception, then another through the same window, with the Baltimore skyline background in focus and the decal out of focus. -

I really can’t say enough about Carly. She is so upbeat, positive and all around good-natured, which makes the day that much less stressful. She was so easy to coordinate with too! From the day we booked with her, she was extremely easy to contact, quick to answer questions and eager to make us feel comfortable. (She even sent us chocolate on Valentines Day!) You can tell from every detail that she cares about your day! Don’t even get me started on the photographs. They turned out far and beyond anything my husband and I could have dreamed of (I know its sounds super cheesy, but it’s just the truth). Carly is absolutely the best photographer I could have asked for, and I would recommend her to anyone! Pure talent, contagiously enthusiastic and thoughtful/detail-oriented You could not make a better wedding decision. -

My husband and I LOVED working with Carly and cannot rave about her and her photographs enough, and we've heard similarly enthusiastic praise from our family and friends for her professionalism and friendliness at the wedding and beautiful work. If a 6/5 stars were possible, we'd give them to her.
From my first inquiry email, Carly was so responsive, friendly and relatable while still being completely professional. During our engagement shoot, she put two camera-shy people at total ease, and we knew we'd made the right decision in hiring her. In the lead up to the wedding, communication was frequent but low key. Working with Carly never added stress and in fact took some of that out of the planning process. Our final conversation before the wedding was equal parts logistics and pep talk. The day of, she was again super easy to work with, moving efficiently through portraits but staying relaxed and keeping a good sense of humor. I didn't feel like we were doing anything artificial for the pictures, but rather that she captured the day as it was. Carly's turn around time on the pictures was as promised, a remarkably quick two weeks, with previews beforehand.
I could go on and on but I'll just say this: we loved Carly and wholeheartedly recommend her - go see if she's available for your date and book her now! -

We loved having Carly Romeo of Two Spoons Photography as our wedding photographer!! We had a very casual wedding, and we were thinking about not hiring a photographer at all for fear that she/he would be too intrusive and high strung, but Carly was the polar opposite. Carly’s friendly nature put everyone at ease. She did a stupendous job capturing subtle and natural moments from our wedding day without being distracting or stressful in search of the “perfect shot”. We asked her not to spend more than about 20 minutes taking pictures after the ceremony and she completely respected that request. She very quickly worked her way through our shot list while taking great pictures, and she was still able to make us both feel very comfortable, relaxed, and natural. Carly took many candid photos at our reception that really captured the happiness and love of our friends and family. She also took the time to arrive before the guests at the church and the reception site to photograph some smaller details and decorations. We were delighted by the way the photos came out! None of them felt cheesy or over-edited and we felt that each photo served as a beautifully honest memory of our big day. We are so happy we asked her to photograph our wedding! Our friends and family have all been very excited to see pictures from Two Spoons Photography being posted and emailed around, and many of them have commented how lucky we were to have such an awesome photographer!

Carly is wonderful! Out of all the vendors we hired for our wedding, finding a photographer was our biggest challenge. We got married in Charlottesville, VA where all of the photographers were ridiculously priced and not that impressive. My now-husband is an amateur photographer, so he was very particular about finding a skilled photographer both creatively and technically. Once he exhausted all of the options in Charlottesville, he looked in Richmond and came across Carly. What a find! From first contact, she was responsive, friendly, and flexible. We met her in-person for coffee and fell in love! She is so easy to talk to and work with, very genuine, and full of enthusiasm. On top of that, she's a very talented photographer. We have over 1000 of the most beautiful photographs of all of the moments of our wedding. Carly was definitely one of our best wedding "finds" and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone! -

My partner and I are from Sydney Australia and made the decision to elope in New York City. Therefore I was in the search to find a photographer that would be able to capture our intimate ceremony in New York. After viewing a lot of really tacky and unappealing photographers on the internet, I stumbled across Carly’s website and fell in love with her photographs instantly and immediately followed her instagram account!
From day dot, Carly was so enthusiastic, flexible and beyond helpful. Obviously living in different countries, there were time differences so email was the best way of contact. I have to say, it was the easiest, smoothest experience with Carly and after months of communicating, I felt I had connected and created a friendship with her overtime. Apart from being our photographer, Carly offered advice regarding Hotels, places to visit and the process to elope in New York. She went above and beyond to answer all my questions. And when I finally met Carly in person on our elopement date, she was warm, welcoming and extremely lovely-natured and made us feel very relaxed. I didn’t even notice her snapping away (which was a good thing as I am particularly camera shy).
Carly is an outstanding photographer and an even more, outstanding person!! She had captured and documented our special day in a spontaneous, candid manner as we had asked and also balanced it out with some beautiful portraits. My (now) husband and I were extremely happy and pleased with Carly’s photography skills and her beautiful work. I would highly recommend Carly for anyone wanting to elope or get married. I cannot thank her enough and it was the best decision made to have Carly our photographer!

One of the best decisions we made was hiring Carly as our wedding photographer. She's so friendly and easygoing that minutes after her arrival she felt like part of the family. And most importantly, she captured the day beautifully and we could not be happier with the photos! -

Carly of Two Spoons Photo was more than I could have asked for in a photographer. She was super responsive from day one and really took the time to get to know my fiance and I to make sure that the pictures would be exactly what we wanted. For an anxious bride like myself, it was so great to have Carly around given her calm demeanor and relaxed style. It rained on our big day and she was unphased, upbeat, and ready with a backup plan! It was just like having one of your friends along with you and her picture taking never felt intrusive -- I didn't even realize she was there half the time during the reception but she managed to get some AMAZING action dancing pictures. Carly is a great photographer for any wedding, especially if you consider youself somewhat of an "offbeat bride" who is looking for more than just the cheesy cliche photos that you've seen a million times already on pinterest. Looking at the pictures from our wedding, the emotions were captured so perfectly that I can feel them all over again. :) -

We are so happy that Carly was our wedding photographer. She is incredibly talented and such a pleasure to work (and hang out) with! We were a bit worried about how it would feel to have a photographer follow us around the whole time, but the truth is, we barely noticed! She was everywhere, capturing so many magical, touching, and funny moments that made us smile so much, and she made us feel so comfortable. We can’t stop looking at the gorgeous photos and now we are going to have trouble deciding which ones to print, put in an album, and frame, because there are so many amazing ones! All our family and friends raved about her that night and how lovely it was to have her around, and they raved even more when they saw her beautiful pictures. Carly's photos were phenomenal and it was such a treat to work with her. -
