About

ARTIST. DOCUMENTER. LAUGHER. BLOGGER. HUGGER. ADVENTURER. LIFE-LOVER.

My name is Carly and I make beautiful photos. Chemistry is my favorite thing to photograph. A lopsided look, a belly laugh, a face-mashing kiss... That's what I'm looking for and that's what I capture. I photograph weddings with my husband and sometimes my friends. We love it and we're remarkably good at it.

My favorite weddings are the ones with surprises. Like when all the groomsmen jump into the pool or when I fall out of a tree trying to "get the shot." I love a Nightmare Before Christmas themed cake and Spiderman garters, bad ass bridesmaids and dresses that came from your gransmother's closet.

I'm based in Seattle but will often travel to great lengths for the weddings I photograph. I'll pack the neck pillows if you bring the mix CDs!

Carly was an amazing photographer and really made our wedding day special. She worked hand-in-hand with our Day-Of Coordinator and really made sure that all of the photography was integrated with the day well. She was adaptable, professional, helpful, easy to work with and super fun. She worked with our budget and made sure we got the best bang for our buck. We got some preview photos THE NEXT DAY, and then our whole album about a month later. We were blown away with what she captured! When we looked through the album, it felt like we were reliving the day through the photography. We are forever grateful to Carly for capturing the most important day of our life so beautifully!

Carly is quite simply THE best. From the very beginning my husband (!!) and I loved being around her. Carly was willing to go on an adventure in order to get the photos we were looking for for our engagement shoot, even indulging in our wish of having photos of us fly-fishing. Having her photograph our wedding day only brought relief not stress to our wonderful (yet hectic) day. We get constantly get compliments on her amazing work from both the engagement and wedding photos. She is a joy to work with and I whole heartedly recommend her!!

Carly was absolutely wonderful on our wedding day (and throughout the whole process)! My husband and I both agreed she could not have made us feel more comfortable, taken care of, and on top of it and we had no doubts she was going to capture the day perfectly. We live across the country so were unable to do our engagement session with her, but that didn't make a bit of difference with how at ease we felt with her on our wedding day.

We just got our pictures back and were blown out of the water with how great they turned out. She has a true talent for photography and is a truly amazing person. I HIGHLY recommend Carly!!

For my wedding budget I put photography at the top-and I was so happy about our decision to go with Carly! She is so creative and fun, all of our photo shoots were an adventure. My husband and I felt very comfortable and knew she was a good fit for us. We know on our special day we wanted someone like Carly to be there to capture them. Pictures last forever and I will treasure them. So hire Carly!! You won't be disappointed.

Carly Bish Photography is incredible! She is talented, creative, professional. Her images not only documented one of the most important days in my life---but she captured the emotions, beauty, and true spirit of the day in an uncanny and honest manner. I highly recommend her!!!

Carly is incredible at what she does. To top it off, she is probably the most fun, committed, and available photographers you will ever find. She truly bends over backward to get to know her couples and to be available leading up to the big day. What a HUGE difference that made on the day of the wedding! Carly's husband George was our second photographer and they both spent 12 hours with us the day of our wedding. It was SO valuable to have already gotten to know them and I really believe the photos benefited from how comfortable we already were with them. From our engagement photos to the last picture of us driving away the night of our wedding every photo she took was amazing. Her editing is just amazing. She has a great eye for catching the funniest and most heartfelt moments and glances. Every time I look through our photos it truly feels like reliving one of the best days of my life. If you are looking for someone who will be as passionate about your wedding as you are, Carly is your gal! I couldn't be happier with the memories she gave us from our wedding this past July or the friendship we made with her and her husband George. Carly Bish Photography is simply the BEST.

What can i say about Carly that hasn't already been said a bagillion times? My friends are all artists, they are all very powerful individual characters on their own, and i knew only one person would able to capture the creative chaos, and that was Carly. Her and her husband/asistant George meshed in our wedding seamlessly, not once all evening did i worry about "oh did they get that" or "hey please take a photo of that" They we're on it
even when we were all hanging out and eating, cameras were down, food was served, and one of my closest friends who was stuck in traffic showed up late. She collapsed in my arms and cried for what seems like the first time ever, and we held each other and before i knew it, it was caught on film, it was one of the many beautiful moments that was unexpected and captured

They are brilliant and wonderful artists, master of their craft and two of the most beautiful people i have ever met
it was amazing having them, and i would recommend them a million times over

If there is one thing that really helped me have a successful wedding, it was finding Carly Bish. Photography was important to me, since it lasts forever. And Carly has reasonable pricing for unbelievably full service. She helped me find all of my other vendors, and talked me through all sorts of wedding planning issues other than just photography. And then--the photos! WOW! I have never thought of myself as a photo-worthy girl, but Carly brought out the best in me and my husband. I am beyond thrilled at all the beautiful and imaginative shots that Carly and her husband George took of us on our wedding day and in our engagement photo shoot. I am sincerely glad that I found Carly, and couldn't imagine how this wedding would have turned out with another photographer. Over the course of wedding planning, I have come to think of Carly as a friend in addition to a spectacular vendor. Thank you for everything, Carly!
