About

We are a team of feminist wedding photographers. That means we approach weddings as massive parties all about love and community and awesomeness, not Bride-centric, patriarchal, consumerism-paloozas. Being feminist wedding photographers means we try to get to know you as a couple and capture parts of the wedding that make it an expression of who you are, not just the typical Wedding Shots (though we can do those too if you want). It means we're all about documenting love and relationships and happiness beyond the traditional [heterosexist] narrative of Boy-Meets-Girl, Boy Proposes, etc. It also means that we're obsessed with creative, multicultural, complex, interesting, fun-loving, slightly wacky couples who don't take the whole Best Day Of Our Lives (TM) thing too seriously.

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.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
