Best photographer ever!

I cannot say enough good things about Carly as a photographer. She was the photographer for my proposal and the photos came out absolutely stunning. Not only did she capture the special moment perfectly, but she also made the entire experience so easy and enjoyable for myself and my new fiancé. Carly has a great eye for detail and composition, and she was able to make the most beautiful memories for us to treasure forever. I highly recommend Carly for any photography needs, she is truly one of the best!

You Need Carly for Your Wedding Day!!

We couldn’t be happier that we chose Carly as our wedding photographer here in Charleston! From our very first phone conversation, Carly was such a joy to work with. She took the time to understand our vision, meet with us multiple times before the wedding, and even crafted a wedding schedule that we ended up preferring over our planner’s version. She also found the most perfect locations for our engagement photos!!

On the big day, Carly was a dream to work with. She was joyful, fun, and friendly with all our family and guests throughout the day, so even our larger family shoots were stress-free. When we received our photos, we were blown away by how beautifully she captured the joy and emotions of our day. We did not have to spend a ton of time on a shot list or instructions - Carly has an amazing knack for capturing all the best moments and I loved how her style of photos reflected each part of the day.

What made the experience even more special was opting to also work with Carly’s fantastic second shooter and iPhone-videographer. Having additional perspectives and candid videos has given us such precious memories to look back on.

If you are searching for a photographer who is not only talented but also genuinely invested in supporting with all the planning and conversations to make your day perfect, look no further than Carly. She went above and beyond our expectations, and we are so grateful for her incredible work.

Not just an incredible photographer

It took me a while to write this review because I just don’t feel like any words do Carly’s work justice. Believe it or not, this is the “short” version because I wanted to be sure people actually read it!

Fun, thoughtful, insightful, breathtaking, ethereal, moody, artistic… Carly and everything she does is incredible.
I have never liked pictures of myself but my biggest problem with Carly’s work is that I can never decide on which picture I want to post to social media. She goes above and beyond what I even knew I wanted in the first place, creating a new standard for what I expect of what I’m going to get and then blows that out of the water again the next time.

I hired Carly nearly two years ago to photograph our wedding and since then have asked her to photograph me/me & my (now) husband multiple times since because I can’t stop loving her work and how she makes me feel. She makes me feel beautiful and confident and comfortable. Her photographs and demeanor actually make me love myself every time I come out of working with her.

We’ve now used Carly for our engagement photos, my professional photos (not something she does but did as a special gift), and our wedding and I 100% plan to use her for every photo session for the rest of our lives. We live four hours away and I will absolutely be driving to her for maternity sessions, Christmas cards, what have you. I cannot imagine booking anyone else.

I absolutely could not recommend Carly enough. It would be a mistake not to hire her.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
