Can't Recommend Enough!
We had the privilege of having Carly capture our proposal and wedding and she is a true artist at her craft. Carly's photos are not only gorgeous, but authentic, and they have a way of transporting you back to the very moment she captured.
Above all, Carly is warm, professional, and brings a calming presence within the chaos of a wedding day. She has an incredible ability to keep things moving seamlessly, yet always be perfectly positioned to capture the most meaningful moments. We were able to be fully immersed in our wedding day, not worrying about photos, knowing that we had Carly alongside us.
Carly, we will cherish the photos you captured for a lifetime. We are forever grateful, thank you! -

Incredibly Talented!
Carly was the very first wedding vendor we hired! As soon as we stumbled upon her photography we knew immediately she was exactly who we wanted to capture our day. She was one of the best wedding decisions we made. Our photos far exceeded our expectation. She manages to capture the most beautiful moments without you even knowing she's present. Carly has the most calming demeanor, she's sweet, professional and incredibly talented. We will cherish our wedding photos for the rest of our lives!-

Carly will be the best wedding decision you make!
Carly is everything you are looking for in a wedding photographer and more! Her talents and eye for key moments are unmatched. I lost count of the amount of family and friends who complimented not only her beautiful photographs but her kind, fun, and calming demeanor throughout the day. Carly manages to capture every important moment but not make you feel like you're in the spotlight.
We originally hired Carly for our big wedding celebration in late October at a venue on the Cape. Little did we know, life would throw us a curveball and due to family circumstance, added a very emotional and intimate wedding ceremony ~1 month before our big day. Within 30 minutes of texting Carly to ask if she would be available for the smaller ceremony as well, she called me, confirmed a babysitter and promised she'd be there for us. Carly was caring, sensitive and human in a time when we needed it most. She captured moments we will truly cherish forever. Above all, she is a wonderful person to her core.
Hiring Carly was the very best wedding decision we made! I will forever sing her praises to anyone who will listen! -

Perfection!
Carly is an incredible photographer! We utilized her talents for both our engagement and wedding photos. We were stunned by how beautiful our engagement photos turned out (especially since my fiancé hates having his picture taken) and how rarely we felt “posed” during the shoot. We felt the same way on our wedding day! It was insanely humid, resulting in frizzy hair and sweat from everyone. But you would have never guessed that after seeing the pictures that Carly took - they were perfection! And most importantly, our wedding day didn’t feel like a photo shoot! She let us enjoy the moments that we wanted to be present for and was able to capture the candid emotion during them. She was incredibly calm and cool during every moment, which made us feel calm. She was organized and communicative in the months leading up to the wedding. AND - she was able to do it all right after coming back to work from maternity leave. We cannot recommend her enough!!-

Highly recommend working with Carly!
We found Carly on Instagram and could tell she was talented, but we continued to be blown away by her every step of the way! Carly was extremely easy to work with, caring, professional, and so calm even when the day is chaotic. A wedding day can feel busy and stressful, especially with changing weather conditions, and Carly is very zen and positive no matter what, so she was so wonderful to have with us throughout the weekend. We are fairly camera-shy people, and from the start when we took our engagement pictures with her, she made us feel so comfortable and natural and made us look better than we ever have before. Also, she is very communicative, and we were consistently incredibly impressed with the turn around time for the preview and album. Carly and her team really captured the beauty and joy of the whole weekend, and I am so grateful. I would HIGHLY recommend Carly to anyone because she’s not only a joy to work with, but she will make sure you get the most beautiful photos of your special day- you will not be disappointed! -

Highly recommend Carly!
Where do I even start?! Carly is BEYOND talented. I booked Carly as soon as I booked my venue back in January 2019 without hesitation after seeing her work. Fast forward through the COVID-19 pandemic, Carly was with us at every step of the way, postponement after postponement. Carly was a phone call/text away, and I knew I couldn't lose her. Carly sent a detailed timeline weeks in advance of my wedding, provided advice for locations based on her knowledge and experience of the lighting. Carly exceeded ALL expectations on the day of our wedding. She showed up early, answered all my questions before I could even ask them, had a plan for our first look since our original location was a bit crowded. She was on the ball and ahead of everything. Carly does it all, from helping me with my veil, holding items from my fiancé's pocket, giving our trolley driver directions, knew the ins and outs of Boston, handled the chaos of extended family formals. We received so many sneak peaks days after our wedding and we were so impressed with how the pictures came out. I couldn't recommend Carly enough. Thank you, thank you! -

You MUST hire Carly!
After seeing Carly’s work after getting engaged in 2018 I knew I had to have her. I reached out immediately and booked her before any other vendor. Then Covid hit, and to say that planning and rescheduling a wedding during a global pandemic was difficult and emotional would be an understatement. Carly was there every step of the way to provide guidance, listen to me complain and vent, follow up on our plans and when we decided to change our date there was no doubt that whatever date we chose had to work around Carly’s schedule. To this day that was the best decision my husband and I made. Throughout the course of planning Carly became a friend and someone that I knew I could trust to help make decisions that were best for my now husband and I. On the day of the wedding Carly was an absolute blessing and such a calming presence. She helped to keep everything on schedule and make adjustments on the fly when things got off track, she kept me calm, made me laugh, and it really felt like I had a friend by my side all day. When we got our sneak peeks back the next day I was absolutely speechless, the photos were absolutely stunning and I couldn’t wait to see more. Thankfully we didn’t have to! Carly got us back our final photos just TWO WEEKS later! I was in awe at the turnaround time and the quality of the images and my husband and I were in tears looking through them as they captured the day to an absolute tee. We are so obsessed with them all that we literally cannot decide on which ones to have printed. Carly is the best of the best. I feel so lucky to have had her as a part of our day and to have the most beautiful, raw, candid photos to look back on and cherish for the rest of our lives. -

One of the best decisions we made for our wedding!
What can we say about Carly! Carly surpassed every expectation we had for our wedding photographer. From the second we contacted her she was professional, kind and genuine. We decided to do engagement photos to get used to being in front of the camera. We had no idea what to expect, and she blew us away with her talent. Pre-planning for our wedding Carly was amazing. She planned out every detail according to our timeline. Carly had already organized a list of every picture she could foresee that we wanted and then allowed us to do more options, not having to worry about all of our family, bridal party photos etc. was such a relief, with all of the other planning. We were set on our first look being at our ceremony, which did not give us a lot of time for pictures before the sunset. Carly and her second photographer did an amazing job in such a short time, we have so many options to choose from and they allowed us to do plan our wedding the way we had wanted it to be. We had a sneak peak within days and all of our pictures by the time we got home from our honeymoon. To sum up Carly's work, my father in law put it best when he looked at the photos, "she captured every emotion of the day". -

Amazing experience with Carly Michelle!!
Our wedding was on September 1, 2018 in Ogunquit, Maine. Photography was one of our top priorities and shortly after our engagement, a trusted friend referred us to Carly. As soon as we saw her work, we knew she was the one and were so glad she was available. From beginning to end, Carly was nothing short of professional, kind, helpful, enthusiastic and super responsive. We put Carly through obstacle courses with our photo shoot requests for our engagement photos and wedding day. Our engagement photos were taken while sailing the Boston Harbor, and when I say “while sailing”, I mean my fiancé was the captain and we were taking photos as he drove the boat. Carly did not flinch at the suggestion and was so excited to try something fun with us! The photos turned out beautifully and were so nice to have for our save-the-dates, holiday cards, shower thank-you notes, Christmas gifts for parents, etc. I need to mention the speed with which we got these photos back - Carly was so quick!
I could write a short novel on how Carly + her assistant Jeremy impacted our wedding day. Carly was AMAZING and so much more than a photographer! She was my sense of calm and reason and put me at ease while being surrounded by craziness. She kept us on track from a timeline perspective, helped people get from A to Z, fixed my hair, helped me put on my shoes – the list goes on. A moment I recall so clearly while getting ready on our wedding day, was when one of my bridesmaids came up to Carly and me, and said, “Do you two know each other, were you friends before this?” The answer was no, but the question speaks volumes as to how comfortable and at ease I felt with Carly throughout the entire process.
Our first look was on the rocky cliffs of Maine’s coast, and again without hesitation, Carly was excited for the adventure and assured us we would get the shots we envisioned for our special day – and boy did we ever! We had hoped to leave the venue to take some photos just the two of us at one of our favorite nearby harbors, and just when I thought we wouldn’t have time, Carly and her assistant made sure it happened, and even escorted us in their car while keeping our day on track. Carly was such a huge part of our day – I honestly do not know what I would have done without her. Carly + her assistant Jeremy managed to capture so many elements that we would have otherwise missed and all without being intrusive. A few days after our wedding, I had an email from Carly including a sneak preview of our wedding day shots. Within TWO WEEKS, we had our entire wedding collection to review and share with family and friends.
I would highly recommend Carly to anyone – she knows exactly what she is doing, is truly a professional, and will make sure you get the photos you dream of for your once in a lifetime celebration - you will not be disappointed!

I first found Carly on Instagram a few years ago and just loved how she captured movement, unique poses and just the love within a picture of a couple! So when it came time to pick a photographer, I knew instantly to contact Carly. She’s responsive, and so knowledgeable. When it came time for our wedding, her and her team were amazing!! They made us all so comfortable, and so easy to give us directions to get great photos, it might have been windy and cold, but you can’t tell in our photos! She really captured our love, the laughs, tears from our gorgeous day. We seriously recommend her to any couple who wants not just photographs but art as well! We are so happy that we choose Carly Michelle Photography! Thank you for sharing your amazing talent and helping us relive our wedding with your photos! -

I have always felt like the most un-photogenic person in almost every picture, especially standing next to my very handsome/photogenic husband. On top of that, we are both very private and uncomfortable in front of a camera. Carly managed to document every moment of the day, while making us feel completely calm. She was everywhere all at once, but never in our face. Even the groomsmen commented on how cool Carly and her second photographer, Jeremy, were. She had worked with our videographer before and they complimented each other perfectly.
I also substituted the engagement session in our package for a boudoir shoot. This was way outside of my comfort zone and it paid off. Carly was very relaxed, played music and shot the most tasteful, sexy photos. I felt like I was hanging out with one of my friends. The shoot was a huge confidence boost. I gave my fiancé a small album the morning of the wedding and he loved it.
Carly sent us a couple of photos the day after the wedding as a teaser and we could not believe how amazing they were. She delivered the full digital album, with over 1,000 pictures, two weeks after the wedding and the day we returned from our honeymoon. We rushed home from the airport and went through every single picture in one sitting. The photos are so natural and we really look our best. Some of my favorite pictures are of my “bad side.” I have no idea how she did it. We receive endless compliments and have heard several times that the pictures should be in a magazine. Carly has an undeniable talent. I hope every bride has the opportunity to work with Carly and her team.

When we initially started planning our wedding, we both agreed that having an amazing photographer was the most important aspect for us. After much research, we stumbled upon Carly's Instagram and immediately fell in love with her work (and the pups!). We loved that her photos captured such raw emotions and gave a glimpse into the true love of each couple. We decided right away to work with Carly and had her take both our engagement and wedding photos. We couldn't have been happier with how the photos turned out and ended up using our engagement photos EVERYWHERE -- on our wedding website, wedding invites, and throughout the wedding venue.
Having worked closely with Carly throughout our wedding, our initial gut feeling and confidence in Carly was a thousand percent validated. Carly's friendly and personable demeanor helped bring out our natural emotions, and her top-notch professionalism made working with her simply a joy. Carly perfectly navigated the fine line of leading without adding undue pressure. The end result speaks for itself; absolutely stunning pictures that we will treasure for a lifetime (not to mention share all over social media!)
Carly is very cool, calm, and collected and made the entire process drama-free and fun. She was a pleasure to work with and made everyone (including our family members, some who didn't even understand English) feel very comfortable and natural. She's an extremely talented photographer and a super sweet individual. We highly recommend having Carly as your photographer -- one of the BEST decisions we made!! -

We LOVED working with Carly!
We used her for our engagement shoot (a must do!) and our wedding this past week. They was so professional (Carly and Jermy!!) and so much fun to work with. Our planner at the venue even complimented us on how nice they were and easy they were to work with. We would 100% recommend using Carly (or anyone on her team) if you care about good photos that you'll love forever, and don't want a photographer that sticks out on your big day!
Also her responsiveness is amazing- we wanted to order thank you notes with a photo a few days after the wedding and Carly sent over edited pictures within minutes for us to choose from (in addition to our sneak peek the day after the wedding!!) We can't say enough good things about her! -

I can't even put into words how incredible Carly is! My fiance and I were very nervous for our engagement pictures as neither of us like to be in front of a camera. Carly was extremely welcoming and melted all our nerves. We took our engagement pictures on a Tuesday and had our full collection back by Saturday evening! Carly is full of energy and is wicked talented and professional. We cannot wait to work with her on our wedding day and receive another collection of her beautiful photos. -

You will not be disappointed if you choose Carly to photograph your special day. She captured every element of our wedding so beautifully. She also took our engagement pictures and I couldn't be happier with both. Carly is very talented, creative and is so passionate about her work. On top of it all, she is the sweetest person! -

Working with Carly was one of the best decisions that we made in our wedding planning process! Carly was the second vendor we booked for our wedding (after the venue), and from browsing Carly’s blog, I was already familiar with her stellar work and knew we would be in great hands for both our engagement and wedding photos. Although the weather was less than cooperative for our engagement session on the beach, Carly was very flexible and suggested we wait until the conditions were better – I’m not sure she anticipated that meant we would have to reschedule three times! However, I never felt like we were inconveniencing her, and I could tell that Carly genuinely wanted to ensure we had the best possible experience, which 100% came through in the photographs. That day, Carly was able to capture pictures on a very crowded beach that made us look (and feel!) like we were the only people in the world. Leading up to the wedding, Carly was in touch to discuss the timeline of the day as well as to confirm any formal photos we wanted to be sure to include. On the day of the wedding, Carly and her second shooter (plus a third photographer in training) arrived promptly and were consummate professionals throughout the day. Although I was somewhat delayed getting ready, Carly was very patient and gently kept things moving along. Overall, Carly was a breeze to work with – she was unobtrusive but somehow captured every moment as well as small details that I was unable to appreciate that day – and I never once worried about her. We received our photos from Carly promptly, well ahead of the deadline she had set, and I am overwhelmed by how beautifully they came out. I can’t stop looking through the photographs, and every time that I do, I am instantly filled with the same joy I felt that day. I really can’t say enough about Carly – the only challenge we have faced will be to decide which photos to include in our album! -

My husband and I used Carly as our photographer for both our engagement session and our wedding day at the Barn at Gibbet Hill. While planning, I saw wedding photography as one of the most important aspects of our day, as it captures the memories that fly by and allow you to live in those precious moments forever. Because of this, I “shopped” around and researched numerous photographers. Carly was the 2nd vendor we spoke with, and my search for the perfect photographer ended.
The short story: Carly is absolutely amazing at what she does. She knows her stuff, and she is an incredibly kind and caring person who preforms her job with passion. She is a professional, which is so important when dealing with vendors. She is Organized, Experienced, and Above all, she is SO TALENTED. The proof is in the pictures: beautiful, photojournalistic shots that play on lighting, exposure, and natural beauty of the venue & the day and showcase the love you share with your partner.
One really important character trait Carly possesses that deserves to be recognized is that Carly is rightfully confident in her work. This means she does not feel the need to mark her logo on pictures. She knows her work is great, that it will be shared, and that her business is on fire because she is confident in her self and in her high quality work. She knows that the pictures she takes are YOURS. She doesn't muddy them with her logo, and that is just one thing I really appreciate about her.
During the ceremony and reception, Carly was there, but also wasn't. Her shooting style is non-invasive, yet when we received our gallery, we noticed that she captured EVERYTHING from small details to candids on the dance floor. Looking through our gallery was like re-living the day, and this is the EXACT reason why I chose Carly. Every single cent we spent was worth it 10 times over.
Thank you! - The Pratts

Carly is an amazing photographer that captured our love in both our engagement session and on our wedding day. She makes it so comfortable to take direction and suggests natural poses. Carly blends into your day so perfectly that she is able to take such creative candid photos. She edits and sends out your gallery quickly! Carly even took all of my picture suggestions and found the time to complete my checklist while still using her style. Carly comes highly recommended for a classic, elegant and natural look. -

Booking Carly was one of the best decisions we could have made for both our engagement session and wedding. Carly has amazing style and she is so easy to work with. For our engagement session she put us at ease right away and was able to capture the tone of our relationship perfectly in just one hour session. We had a meeting before the wedding and with Carly's experience we were able to set a timeline for everything in order for the photos to go how we wanted. We had her for 7 hours and she came up at least an hour early just to scope out the setting and get everything set up. As for the wedding itself, it was perfect. Carly was able to perfectly encapsulate the day and everything went so smoothly. She even edited a couple of pictures that night so we had something to wake up to in the morning. If we could give more than 5 stars we would. Carly is a true professional and an amazing artist.

Carly is a phenomenal photographer. Our engagement and wedding photos were so beautiful. I've received hundreds of compliments already and I only got married a month ago! Carly takes her job very seriously and it shows in the quality of her work. She does a great job of making you feel comfortable and takes the awkward out of posing for pictures. I did a boudoir shoot with her as well, and i coudln't have felt more comfortable and beautiful. Her pictures for this particular shoot were so classy and tasteful. Every image she captures looks so natural and never forced. That takes pure talent! I'd highly recommend her to any bride. -

my fiancé and I have been to many weddings and talked to many people about photographers and felt like we needed to be very picky knowing how important this was going to be to us. I told her about Carly and before you knew it we had a very nice sit down right in are own home with her. She was very professional and very organized. When she left both of would not look any further for a photographer. Our engagement photos came out unbelievable and are still getting comments to this day. As hectic as our wedding went she did an amazing job and captured every moment of that night perfectly. I would highly recommend her to anyone... You will be very happy!! We will be using her in the future to capture more happy times in are lives. -

If Carly was any better I would have asked her to be a bridesmaid. From the moment I hired her 10 months before my big day I just knew she would be a perfect fit (and that's not just because of our mutual love for donuts). Carly as a person is sweet, helpful, confident and humble. Those qualities coupled with her amazing talent, makes for one stunning photographer. The images she captured for both my engagement session and wedding day were flawless. I could not be happier with the outcome and am so excited to share the special memories and moments she captured. If you hire Carly you can rest easy knowing you're in excellent hands. -

Carly came highly recommended from friends who used her for their wedding and were so pleased with the results. We loved their photos, so we decided to meet with Carly. She had great energy, was very knowledgeable, and professional. She was willing to travel to Newport, RI where our wedding was taking place, even though she is Boston based. We decided to go with her that day and we’re so glad we did. On the day of the wedding, she was very calm, direct, and unobtrusive, which was very important to us. We’ve heard horror stories about wedding photographers barking orders and being rude to the bride and groom, but Carly was the complete opposite. She was very in control, knew exactly what shots she wanted/needed, and was able to get everything with complete composure and professionalism. She sent me a sneak peek the next day and my husband and I were floored at how amazing this one picture was. Her turnaround time was very quick and we had our photo gallery two weeks after the wedding. The photos are above and beyond our expectations. We are absolutely blown away at how beautiful they are; they almost have an ethereal quality to them. Everyone we show them to comments that they look magazine quality. If you’re looking for a calm, easy to work with photographer who produces incredible work, I highly recommend choosing Carly Michelle Photography. -

I spent a lot of time looking at different wedding photographers. This was the most important vendor to me and they always say, photos last a lifetime. I tried to look with an unbiased eye at other vendors, but I really knew from the beginning that I wanted Carly to capture our special day. I've followed Carly's career since day 1 and always said I would use her.
Carly's talent is evident if you look at her photos and see her style show through. If you dream of having a Pinterest or Style Me Pretty wedding, look no further.
When working with Carly, she is the ultimate professional. In the wedding industry it's hard to trust vendors with one of the biggest days of your life. Carly is incredibly responsive. I always knew if I had a question she had the answer right away. Another important piece for me was having a photographer who I don't notice. I love candid shots and I can say I never saw Carly during the ceremony. But she was there taking beautiful photos. We had a large wedding party and she was able to capture our formal photos with ease allowing us to spend more time with her to get some amazing shots at our venue.
I really can't say enough wonderful things about her. She is incredibly hard-working, amazingly talented, wonderfully professional and if you choose her to be your photographer, know that your photos will be stunning!!
We love Carly!

This review is based on the day of the wedding as I have only seen one picture so far. Carly was awesome. There were a few hiccups during the day with the hair stylist running late to the venue not being set up but she was there and flexible. She helped me push along and get things going. She was very professional and knows what she is doing. I can not wait to see more pictures as the first one was beyond amazing. I highly recommend her. -

Carly is amazing, hands down. Photography was one of the most important elements to me on my wedding day as I knew I would not be able to replay my wedding day by memory alone.
On that day, she produced really classic, timeless photos which was really the essence we were trying to capture at our wedding. I really can't sing her praises enough!!
In the months before hand, she was the most responsive, flexible, and detailed vendor I hired.
As a person, she is a really calm and organized individual who has a very clear vision and philosophy. Carly has a great energy any bride would want around her on her wedding day! -

I first worked with Carly a few months ago when she took our engagement photos. Those photos were fantastic! We had such beautiful photos, and many of our friends and family commented that some looked like they should have been in a magazine. They were that good! After seeing our engagement photos I could not wait for our wedding and to see the photos Carly would get to us. And she did not disappoint! The photos of our wedding were beyond my expectations. They were beautiful and just what I wanted. I am incredibly excited to get them printed and hung up in my home. Carly was great to work with over the last year while planning took place. I had to reschedule our engagement photo shoot a few times due to weather conditions, and Carly was incredibly flexible. Additionally, she agreed to drive to Connecticut where my wedding took place without any hesitation! Talk about flexibility! During my wedding, Carly took any and all photos requested. She also remembered my request for lots of candid photos. I don't remember seeing Carly much during my wedding, but the photos proved she was everywhere and caught photos from all sorts of angles! She caught every detail and every event during the day. She was very professional too. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer! Bravo Carly, and thank you! -

When I started planning my wedding two years ago I was very thorough in my research when it came to all my vendors. Photos are very important to me they are something that you have an the end of the every day when the memories fade and people come in and out of our lives so I wanted to have the best quality pictures to capture this once in a lifetime day. I researched a lot of photographers and when I came across Carly on The Knot I just knew, not to sound cliche, but she was the one! From first meeting to engagement photos to the day of our wedding Carly has consistently blown me away with the way she see's photos. She was a genius for seeing beyond what hasn't been captured yet. I look forward to using her in the future for my maternity, newborn and family photos. Any bride would be lucky to have her so I would scoop her up if she's still available for your wedding day!! -

When my husband I are were looking for wedding photographers, Carly Michelle Photography stood out amongst the rest. Her photos were absolutely stunning and she captured beautiful moments with her camera. We knew we had to have her for our wedding and it was the best decision that we made! From day one, Carly was nothing but professional. Her correspondence was timely and her attitude always positive. Our first session with Carly was our engagement photo shoot and it was nothing short of amazing. She was able to take two people with no real sense of how to pose for a camera and within the first five minutes she made us feel so comfortable that we felt like we had been doing it for years. The photographs from that session spoke for themselves. Family, friends, and even friends of friends were in awe of how gorgeous our photos had turned out. I also had the chance to do a boudoir shoot with Carly as a wedding gift for my husband. I was nervous and a little shy about the photo shoot at first, but again, her demeanor and professionalism made me feel comfortable and empowered to do the shoot. The tastefulness and beauty of the images are something that I know my husband will cherish forever. I also think that the quality of her product presentation should not go without mention. Each item that I have received, whether it is a print, leather bound album, even the USB that comes with each session, is well presented and is beautiful in its own right. This past weekend Carly photographed our wedding and did a phenomenal job letting the moments come to her instead of spending time on forced poses. I have seen only a handful of images thus far but words cannot express how stunning each and everyone has come out. She also went above and beyond by taking video of our ceremony and has plans to make a short movie clip along with our wedding song....amazing! We are on the edge of our seats waiting for the rest of the album and our video! -

Words cannot describe the absolutely amazing job Carly did to capture me and my husband’s special day. She is professional, responsive, honest and for lack of better works – EXTRAORDINARILY TALENTED! We had two sessions with Carly – one for our engagement photos and the other, our wedding. My (at the time) fiancé was not too keen on getting engagement photos done. After meeting with Carly at our initial appointment, we were booked for an engagement session just a few weeks following! Her confidence and creative ideas made this an easy decision for us and the day of the session went absolutely fantastic. Although it was raining, Carly got superb shots… We were so pleased! I had no qualms whatsoever about Carly photographing our wedding day, and of course, Carly exceeded my expectations. She so accurately captured the essence of our Kentucky Derby themed wedding, the energy of our family and friends and the love my husband and I share. I barely noticed her presence but some of the shots she got are truly breathtaking. The amounts of compliments I’ve been receiving on my wedding photos have been endless and my husband and I are ecstatic with every single one of them!! It is almost too tough to decide which ones to frame. In addition to the beautiful photos, Carly so kindly surprised us with a short video montage of our day. It was so beautifully done; I was in tears by the end of it! Once we hired Carly to capture this awesome time in our lives, it was one thing off the checklist I did not have to worry about at all! Carly made the whole process seamless and as a bride, we all know this is HUGE. Carly is a beautiful person inside and out – Her talent and ideas are boundless – I would 100% recommend her as your wedding photographer. -

Carly took our engagement pictures and I cannot stop looking at them -- they are amazing. Carly is so sweet and talented. We live in NYC, but I was introduced to her and knew I wanted her as my wedding photographer. She came to us (travelled here to NYC) and accommodated our every need. I had a number of "shots" I wanted to be sure we took, and Carly exceeded my expectations. The photos are amazing. I have gotten a huge amount of compliments on the photos she took, and have many gotten requests for her information.
I can't wait to see our wedding pictures, because I know they are going to be just as amazing. It's also a great perk that she sends both color and black and white versions of every pictures. It's been hard to choose a favorite -- I love them all!
Thank you, Carly!! -

Carly was with us the entire day from getting dressed to cutting the cake. We were so happy with her creative use of light and her calming influence. She just knew what to do and when to do it. I would definitely recommend Carly for your wedding photographer. You can not go wrong - she made our day even more memorable than we imagined !!!! -

Carly Michelle Photography could not have covered our special day better. She was extremely easy to work worth and paid attention to every little detail that we (my wife) were looking for. She was flexible, attentive, comfortable to be around, and not to mention extremely professional. She went above and beyond what we were looking for and would recommend her services to anyone looking for a great photographer. Stays true to her word and the turn around on the album was incredible. We have the photos all over our home. Everything we could have asked for. -

I hired Carly Michelle Photography for my wedding last summer. I was extremely nervous about finding a photographer that could take quality photographs while actually capturing the love between my husband, my family and my friends. But Carly was amazing. She listened to what I was looking for and she was enormously helpful in creating shots that were genuine and reflected our style as a couple. She went above and beyond her job as a photographer and her photos were exactly what I was looking for. The pictures themselves were stunning and she somehow managed to be everywhere at once! No wedding is too big. I am so happy with the finished product that I will undoubtedly be coming back for maternity and family sessions as soon as I can :) -

Carly captured the most beautiful day of my life with tenderness and true heart. I thank her so very much. Her style and ability to create portraits out of every moment is truly special. As I looked through the photos, I couldn't believe how beautiful I looked and how well she captured me, the real me in all those moments. My husband and I, (A phrase I'll have to get used to...) are so impressed and touched by every image.
Our story: We decided after losing our venue to mini-elope in the Boston Public Gardens. I had contacted Carly a few weeks out but decided to go w/ a friend, at the last minute he had a conflict and we rushed back to Carly hoping she was still available. Luckily she was all ours. The morning of our wedding I was violently sick and the schedule was all thrown off. Poor Carly and my makeup artist were left sitting in the hotel lobby for an hour while I sat in Boston traffic still slightly bent over from the queasiness. We staged in a nice little room in the Boston Park Plaza and Carly made the best of the horrible decor and the props we had brought. When we finally dressed me and set out for the park we had a very good time. Carly picked out a gorgeous tree with pink blossoms for some shots of the tiny wedding party. We played with blankets and paper umbrellas. The ceremony is all a blur with the park swarming with people blessed with one of the few 65 degree day in months. After the bombing I think a wedding in the park was a nice diversion, people clapped as my father and I came into view. Carly's photos captured every moment of the ceremony with a good eye. The reception was a small dinner for 10, so Carly just took pre pics and our little family got to have our private dinner which was best for us. We dashed off for our honeymoon asap. We weren't sure when the pics would be ready as friends have waited months but in just two weeks, one day after getting home we were looking at them and they are beautiful!
