Carley K Photography

ent as far as to scope out the grounds of my ceremony to make sure it was perfect for pictures. Carley goes above and beyond. She reassured me she would get photos even if it rained ( as it was scheduled too ). She made a point to make me aware of large clear umbrellas she had in her car for rainy days ....(I envisioned an adorable picture that thankfully we didn’t capture). Another bride in a previous review described Carley as prompt, professional and kind and I have to agree, she is all of the above. But I must add patient as well. She went with the flow while still ensuring we stayed on schedule ( as i wanted to make cocktail hour ) It was pleasure to work with Carley! Our pictures turned out absolutely amazing and I have received so many complements!!!! Carley, I can’t express in words how much your pictures mean to me and my husband. We love them and so does our family & friends

ay. I knew from the first time I saw her work that Carley would be our wedding photographer, and then I met her and that completely sealed the deal. Her laidback but just directive enough approach made us feel at ease and allowed us to have FUN on our wedding day. She was able to corral our huge bridal party (11 girls and 12 guys), which in itself is impressive. She captured the true joy of the day, and this was more important to us than anything. Her work speaks for itself, but you do not realize the depth of her professionalism until you work with her. She created a timeline for the day of that allowed us to capture everything that we wanted to capture and scheduled tuple calls with us prior to the wedding day. She was able to work within a time crunch, given that we did not want to do a fist look, and got in every single shot we wanted without this added time. She gave us a deadline of when we would receive all of our images and has beaten her own deadline each time! She is prompt, professional, hardworking, funny, genuine, and dedicated. She clearly loves what she does and this makes having her follow you around with a camera for an entire day an added joy on the most important day of your life. I could not imagine my wedding day without Carley and I know my husband feels the same. Thank you does not even begin to cover how grateful we feel, but THANK YOUx100000 to Carley for capturing every special moment of our special day and doing it with a genuine smile on your face.

photos out to you in a short amount of time after the wedding, and her work is AMAZING!

rce. Her attention to details is amazing and she captured some shots that are truly personal to us. Carley was wonderful during the pre-meetings as well, she calmly listened to our ideas and gave us just the right amount of feeback. I was left with confidence that she would do a fantastic job and I was right! Thank you so much Carley! To any bride out there that is unsure, I promise you will not be disappointed!

comfortable to take pictures with! We chose her highest package which I would encourage everyone to do! Everything is covered and VERY reasonably priced for her work. Our engagement photos were simply breathtaking and the day was so fun and we were so sweaty and she made them still look PERFECT! I was given so many compliments alone on my engagement photos which then came with my save the dates which she created and sent to us to send out! She was very easy to communicate with and even was 9 months pregnant when she shot our wedding and I honestly wouldn't have had anyone else. She was upfront, honest, and very reliable. She made the day easy, stress free, took every important shot I wanted, and quickly put us all together with a ton of laughs and made sure we were all in on time for cocktail hour! Her Second photographer and assistant took over for her for the rest of the night and I have received so many compliments from everyone on how amazing the entire team was! I am VERY pleased and look forward to working with Carley K Photography in the future! Love Kathleen & Ryan <3 9.22.17

nce we met her. She's experienced, down to earth, and so talented! She and Russell worked hard for us all day. Best day ever!

rley and become very comfortable with her. She has the day down to a science, and around two weeks before the big day will ask you for your list of "must have" photos as well as anything else you want, and then she puts together a very detailed timeline (down to the minute!) that will lay out the entire day. Not only is she organized, but she is amazing with a large bridal party (9 bridesmaids and 6 groomsmen) and extremely creative. We had some balloons in my bridal suite, and Carley incorporated them into the pictures and they turned out amazing! She's super fun and personable to be around, and helped me remain calm regarding the Philadelphia traffic and our timing. I can't imagine having any other photographer for our wedding day.

finds out what you're looking for. She has the day down to a science and is extremely professional and keeps your bridal party in line (which was difficult for us with 16 total) I highly recommend her to everyone! Couldn't be happier!

y it's unbelievable and I'm so in love with her gift for photography! Seriously go follow her Instagram the love she captures will make your day every time it shows up in your feed. She is professional and you can tell she loves what she does. My family and friends cannot stop raving about our photos and I really cannot thank you enough! They were our favorite part of our whole wedding experience and we recommend Carley K Photography to everyone!

clients' wedding days! Carley shot beautiful engagement photos and wedding day photos for us. Her laidback and fun-loving style really allowed Bradd and I to be our true selves in front of the camera and you can see it coming through in all the photos. Our family and friends were all impressed by her professionalism, demeanor on the wedding day, and most importantly the talent she brings to life in our photos. I would HIGHLY recommend working with Carley if you want a genuine and talented photographer.

he main focus of our wedding day photos! During our initial meeting, Carley assured us that many people feel awkward and that no guy ever knows where to put his hands in a photo. She really put us at ease. In a testament to her professionalism, Carley mentioned to us that she had not taken photos at our wedding venue before, and offered to do an on-site walk-through with us before the wedding to become more familiar with potential photo shoot sites, and to get a better sense of our location preferences. We appreciated her honesty and willingness to put in the extra effort ahead of time to make sure the day would go smoothly. We found Carley’s willingness and ability to be flexible on the day of our wedding to be quite helpful. While we had a schedule planned out beforehand, Carley was willing to stay a bit later in order to make sure that we would have plenty of photos of people dancing. This certainly does not mean that she compromised on agreed-upon deadlines – our preview and final galleries were posted on time, and she even sent us an unexpected, personalized wedding memento. We elected to take pictures during cocktail hour, and Carley finished our family, wedding party, and couples shots with enough time for us to make the end of cocktails! Our final photos show that she did not skimp on quality to make this possible – she recognized when she had the shots she needed, and did not feel the need to take unnecessary extras. Carley never made us feel rushed, and she actually made the photo shoots quite fun! We recommend Carley highly for her creativity, cheerful nature, and commitment to delivering a quality product.

She was so warm and welcoming when we went to meet with her and so easy to get along with. We got married at our venue and had the reception directly after, leaving little time for pictures. Carley came up with the perfect timeline for us and did not pressure us to do the reveal. Everyone at our wedding could not stop talking about how awesome our photographer was. She went above and beyond to get all of the best angles possible. She was able to get all of the pictures that we wanted. During our reception she put out a slideshow from earlier in the day of the girls getting ready. The pictures were already amazing!! I we got our pictures back and they are absolutely perfect!! i love everything about them! i am so happy with Carley and would recommend her a million times over!! She was absolutely perfect!

phenomenal to work with! They were quick to respond, easy going, flexible, and extremely creative. They made us feel comfortable and ensured that our pictures really showed "us." Thank you for capturing our day perfectly!!! We cannot thank you enough! :) Lindsay & Brian

nt pictures turned out amazing and we can’t wait to see our wedding pictures! The day of the wedding Carley and Russell were awesome to work with! Everyone from our parents to our bridal party to our guests loved them! I am a stickler for being on time and Carley reassured me that everything would run smoothly and even changed up our time line a bit to calm my nerves. Carley’s husband, Russell, had the hardest job, which was making sure my soon to be husband and groomsmen were running on time. Needless to say Russell succeeded and everyone was on time. Carley was even able to provide a sneak peak of our pictures from earlier that day at our reception and our guests raved about them! We cannot wait to see the finished product! We have nothing but good things to say about Carley and we can’t wait to see her and Russell next year at my brother’s wedding.

personable and fun to be around. Carley knew how to command the attention of the room when it was time to get things done, which was great. She made sure I was not worried about timing throughout the day and assured me that she would keep us on schedule. She was very organized and was sure to get all of the pictures that I wanted. I wish we could get married again just to so we could work with Carley and Russel again! Highly recommend them to anyone getting married.

ick! The way Carley captures special moments throughout the day is so unique. She is gifted in her work and we are so in love with our pictures. Carley rocks!

amlessly with me, my husband, my family, my bridal party, my DJ and venue. I didn't need to worry about making sure she got any shots because she had it ALL covered. She is a very talented photographer and an even more wonderful, genuine person. I can't imagine anyone else by our side to capture such a special day in our lives. Guests saw a few pictures that Carley was able to put on a slideshow by our wedding cake. I didn't get a chance to see them because I wanted to be surprised but everyone who saw them said they were AMAZING and that I will be so happy with them! We already talked about having Carley photograph our newborn one day! Her partner for the day, Jau, couldn't have been more perfect either. He made my husband and our groomsmen feel relaxed and comfortable for the guys prep pictures in the morning. He even ran back to get my fur that I left where we were taking formals. Thank you Carley and Jau for helping to make our wedding unforgettable. I cannot wait to see the pictures. After seeing your work with our engagement pictures, I can only imagine how beautiful they are going to be! I will be recommending you to every engaged couple I know!

o have her part of it. Such a great style of photos and she has fantastic unique photo ideas so all of the pictures are super original to your day. We LOVED working with her, she is for sure our "go to" photographer for any occasion. On a day with so many things going on Carley and her team were there capturing it all without you realizing it. So happy we had her as our photographer for the best day of our lives.

s through the day, while making it so easy and enjoyable. Her photos are indescribably beautiful. She finds amazing angles, and the candids from the reception truly capture the moment. I highly, highly recommend her if you're looking for the perfect experience, paired with the perfect photos!

erything has felt so easy and laid back with Carley, as if I’ve known her forever! This was important to us because she made us feel calm and completely natural at our engagement session, and on the wedding day. The photos really speak for themselves, so check them out. I fell in love with her photography the first time I looked, and I still find myself looking at photos on her blog! Carley photographed our engagement session, and Carley & Stacey photographed our wedding. They were both professional, FUN to have around, patient, chock full of ideas, and they provided all of us with guidance the whole day through. She was also sure to keep us on time! What more can I say? Everyone deserves that kind of energy around them on their wedding day :)

ived a preview of my wedding photos and I am very satisfied with the results. I can't wait to see the final photos. I would highly recommend her and have already recommended her to family and friends who have seen my wedding photos.

work with. She has a plan to help when a bride isn't sure of locations for pictures, and she makes sure you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Totally recommended!

was what we were looking for. Her photos speak for themselves. But just as important as the photos themselves is that you can get along with the person and feel comfortable having them be there with all day on your wedding day. Carley and her assistant were both super easy to get along with. They kept the mood fun and laid back, but still efficiently got through all the shots we wanted and got us to our cocktail hour on time. Carley was easy to work with. She responded to questions within a reasonable amount of time. She was organized and made sure we were both on the same page with the time-line of the day and the list of formal shots I wanted. I definitely recommend Carley K Photography to other brides-to-be!!

h turned out better than i could have ever dreamed of. She was so much fun to work with and I would highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you again Carley K for such an amazing documentation of our wedding!

ot stop complimenting and saying such kind words. The photos are what last forever and I wanted to be amazing. Our photos are beyond amazing and more then I ever expected. Please choose Carley for your photos because you wont regret it and will have amazing photos to last you a lifetime. We plan on using her for other events in our life as well. Love!

equivocally recommend Carley K photography to memorialize any special occasion.

tures. They were not the least bit intrusive. They were super easy to work with and extremely accommodating. They carried themselves as true professionals. Regarding the pictures, the final product, I couldn't say enough good things. I absolutely love every picture. The hardest part of this process was trying to pick my favorite pictures. I love them all!!! I highly recommend this photographer to anyone with a big event coming up.

ible eye for unique (but not cheesy) shots and the most flattering lighting and poses - even our awkward family photos look natural! She also has an uncanny ability to capture the spirit of the day (the style of our photos really reflect the casual, beachy vibe of our wedding) and an even more uncanny ability to make even the grumpiest of groomsmen have fun during photos. In addition to being incredibly talented, Carley and Russell are really fun to be around. They are incredibly low-key and low-stress - Carley subtly kept the day running smoothly and also kept completely calm when it started drizzling minutes before our outdoor ceremony. They are also super fun and charismatic - exactly the kind of people you want around you all day! We had so much fun with them that we invited them to our after-party. If you're getting married in Philadelphia or New Jersey (or really anywhere), Carley K Photography is really the only way to go.

o many compliments. The pictures are the perfect combination of spontaneous laughter, candid tears, silly dancing, and posed family shots that look natural. That is exactly what I asked for. Truth be told, I think they made my wedding (and me) look even prettier in the pictures than in real life. Carley and Russel are genuinely so talented. In addition, they just have the BEST personalities. Everyone has been commenting on their unique ability to photograph every moment and detail without ever seeming to be in your face. And yet they somehow subtly kept us completely on schedule. You know those wedding photographers with the big showbiz type personalities and corny jokes that boss everyone around? That's not them. Quite the contrary - they were super nice and fun and I kept asking them to hang out with us after they were done shooting because I feel like I would be friends with them. Everyone from grandparents to friends loved them. Lastly, their excellent quality is consistent. I hired Carley and Russel because they photographed my friend's wedding in New Jersey and my friend's pictures were amazing. My friend had hired them because Carley did HER friend's wedding in Philly and THEIR pictures were awesome. So I was thrilled when I called Carley and she said she'd be willing to fly to New Orleans for my wedding. And for a great price :) THANK YOU GUYS!!!

ew samples and we are DYING to see all the pictures!!!! She made me feel so relaxed and comfortable. She was so professional and did such a great job of getting pictures done in enough time for us to get to cocktail hour! I highly recommend Carley!!!

ly works with you on exactly what you want. We had our engagement session with her last Nov and the pix came out gorgeous! Carley and her crew (Will & Jen) did a fantastic job at our wedding (9/30/12). I don't think my wedding would've gone as smoothly has she not been there. She came on time with a smile on her face, introduced everyone, met everyone, and kept us on track all day. She made us feel so comfortable and relaxed. She is professional and personable at the same time. Don't be surprised by her ninja moves. She will be tip toeing to get one angle, run to the other side, then the next second, laying on the ground in her cute outfit just to get that perfect shot! She is a busy lady and we all know why! I can't wait to see our pictures!! :) Thanks Carley & Crew!
