Best wedding and engagement photographer ever

Wow. Carlie is the single most talented photographer I've ever seen - her photos are absolutely unreal, and her warm, down-to-earth, sparkly personality make you feel SO COMFORTABLE in front of her camera lens to feel your most beautiful and authentic! These are 100% the best photos of my partner and I ever taken.

I got overwhelmed trying to look for the nuanced differences among wedding photographers as we were planning our wedding, and then the radiant, sun-soaked, light-optimized photos from Carlie just made our jaws dropped. We haven't looked back since.

She works quickly and efficiently, but with an ease and warmth that make you feel NO stress or anything but positive glow. You'll be with her all day of your wedding, so knowing how wonderful her personality is is actually very important and relevant!

She and her husband Gabe are a perfect duo - Gabe capturing drone shots and Carlie shooting both digital and film.

Our engagement and wedding photos have turned out absolutely gorgeous, and now we have a photographer and friend to document all the future life events like pregnancy and our growing family.

The best!

Carlie and her husband, Gabe, were the absolute BEST photographers EVER!!! As the mother of the bride, all I wanted was for my daughter and her new husband to be happy. Well, Carlie and Gabe exceeded that by leaps and bounds! I knew they would take great pictures, but how their professionalism, warmth and kindness, was beyond! If you don't use them, good luck. I have 2 more daughters and I would LOVE to have these 2 again!!!!!

Amazing eye and fun to work with

My husband does not like taking photos, but after our engagement photo shoot and introduction to Carlie, he could not wait for her to shoot our wedding! We both instantly felt at ease and she instructed us so perfectly the entire day so that we felt like models when we got our photos back. She also did them so quickly! Lastly, our wedding planner couldn’t be there due to COVID and Carly really stepped up and took place as our Day Of on top of everything else. Carlie and her husband, Gabe, are an amazing duo and we can’t recommend them highly enough for your big day!

Just wow!!

Carlie and Gabe from Carlie Statsky Photography are above and beyond the best! We could not have picked better photographers for our wedding! Carlie and Gabe are first of all genuinely sweet and talented people who are stress-free to work with. If anything they made the planning and organization of our wedding easier. They answered our questions very promptly and in a helpful manner. We did both our engagement photos and also our wedding photos with Carlie, and during both photo sessions we had so much fun and did not feel like we were being staged or put into awkward poses. Everything flowed naturally and was very relaxed. We were not the only ones who found Gabe and Carlie to be great photographers to work with, our guest loved them too!

But now on to the photos. Carlie nailed it!! Her pictures captured our day beautifully, and went above and beyond what we could have hoped for. We received our wedding photos recently and we cannot stop looking at them! They are so gorgeous! The set up shots help us remember all the little details that went into our big day, while the photos of us make us look like movie stars! We can’t wait for the album she is curating for us. We know it will be something that we share with our friends and family for years to come.

We would 100% recommend Carlie. She is extremely talented and a joy to work with!

The best and most talented photographer EVER!!!!!

My husband and I hired Carlie as our wedding photographer. Carlie and Carlie's husband, Gabe, were truly amazing. Picking a photographer was one of the most important decisions for us, as the pictures are what you have to remember your special day. I interviewed about 6 different photographers. I knew after talking with Carlie and looking at her website/instragram that we wanted to hire her. Carlie photographed our rehearsal dinner/ welcome party and wedding. I really can't begin to express how wonderful and talented Carlie and Gabe are. My husband and I had SO much fun and felt incredibly comfortable with Carlie and Gabe. They were super responsive leading up to the wedding. They great at giving us prompts and different poses on the day of and ensure they got all the shots they needed. Carlie was by my side my entire wedding day. She was like a warm blanket and I truly felt so at ease in her presence. The comfort and fun energy they brought really showed in our photos too. Carlie and Gabe are incredibly talented photographers and perfectly captured our special day. We LOVE our photos and will cherish them for the rest of our lives. My husband and I hope to have Carlie photograph our future family and really consider her a friend. Hire Carlie and Gabe for your wedding or event. They are such talented photographers, kind, and hard working people. And the most adorable and fun couple ever. Thank you for everything, Carlie and Gabe!!!!

Aside from picking a venue, picking a photographer was the hardest part of wedding planning for us. We decided not to have a videographer, so I researched a ton of photographers to avoid any sort of horror story that I had heard from other couples. Carlie came highly recommended from our wedding coordinator. I had 5-10 photographers that I was researching but I always came back to Carlie’s website and Instagram. There was just something about her style that really spoke to me. We had initially opted to not do engagement photos, but once we booked with Carlie we decided to do them. I felt like it would be good to get to know her before the big day. I am so glad we ended up doing them, she made us feel extremely comfortable with her laidback but professional attitude and took the time to get to know us a bit. She even let us bring our dog along, which was a huge plus for us! On the big day, both her and her husband Gabe shot the wedding. My husband and I were amazed at how well they work together. Carlie leads and Gabe just knows where he needs to be, it was almost like they were communicating telepathically. We absolutely LOVE both our engagement and wedding photos and are so glad that we made the investment that we did. We highly recommend Carlie (and Gabe) for your photography needs, you will love them and their work!!

Carlie is simply incredible! From the moment I saw her pictures on Instagram I knew she was the perfect fit to capture our wedding day. Not to mention Carlie and her husband, Gabe, are the nicest and most lovely people to work with!

Photography was very important to me for our big day and I had zero hesitations, concerns, or worries when working with Carlie. She is beyond talented, professional, charismatic, responsive, and genuine. She will make you feel comfortable the moment you talk to her and meet her. Also, she gives great direction so you know what to do when taking pictures.

During our engagement photo shoot and wedding day Carlie made sure to capture the most incredible photos even if it meant going in the brush or standing on the rocks. She knew all the spots to capture breathtaking pictures and we could not be happier. Every time she sends us more images of our wedding day I smile from ear to ear or shed a tear thinking back to how perfect the day was. She captured every detail so beautifully and I can’t wait to print the pictures out and hang them up in our house. We continue to get compliments from family and friends regarding how beautiful our pictures are and how wonderful both Carlie and Gabe were throughout the wedding day. They made us feel so comfortable throughout this whole process and I am just so blessed that we were fortunate enough to have them capture our big day.

So if you are looking for a photographer for any moment in your life there is no need to look any further…Carlie and Gabe are the perfect duo to capture any life moment! You will be so thankful that you did. I know we are ☺

Can't say enough good things. Carlie and Gabe are such a wonderful duo to have on your wedding day. You NEED positive, professional people who are a joy to be around and so efficient and accommodating on what can be such a hectic day. They also doubled as my wedding planners and coordinators stepping in when the wedding party was down a tie and wearing Gabe's tie all day. Seriously, the service is priceless and as we get back our beautiful photos, it's just icing on the cake. Someone told me during the planning process - photo and video are the only wedding investments you make that are permanent (besides of course your husband). And Carlie and Gabe are worth every penny!

Carlie Statsky...WOW!! I simply cannot put into words just how talented Carlie & Gabe Statsky are. Carlie's photography is magnificent and captured every emotion from our special day. There was not a bad picture of any of us! I am still receiving compliments on my photos, even from people I do not know. Carlie & Gabe were also a pleasure to work with the entire day- they were not invasive, I felt like we'd known them for years! I am forever grateful for our wedding photos.

I could not recommend Carlie & Gabe more highly. Finding the right photographer to capture your special day can be challenging - you only get one shot to get it right. The day really does go by faster than you can imagine.

Carlie was a pleasure to work with from the get go. Always very informative and timely with communication, and patient with me when I was scrambling to tie loose ends up. Thank you for that! The day of the wedding, she kept our party on track and guided us through our shot list. Our guests felt like they were party of the day. I head numerous comments about what great company they made. It's true - they were smiling, encouraging, funny and made Simon and I feel totally at ease.

But the PHOTOS. I was blown away. We were lucky to get a few 'sneak peek' posts via Instagram & Facebook, which was such a treat in the days following the wedding. As for the full set, I knew they would be great, but Carlie really knocked it out of the park. In a batch of hundreds, there isn't a single one that I don't love. They have a great eye, and are exceptionally talented at what they do. Thanks Carlie & Gabe!
