Carley was absolutely fantastic! She shot our engagement session as well as our wedding day. The pictures are gorgeous and captured our day perfectly. Carley was so easy to work wi...
th and has an out going personality but also not overwhelming. My husband does not like having his picture taken and she made him comfortable and the process easy. I highly recommend Carley to capture your wedding day or special occasion.
Carley came highly recommended from a friend and she did not disappoint. Carley and her assistant did an amazing job capturing the best moments from our wedding. Along with the po...
rtrait shots they captured candids that helped us relive the day all over again! Carley and her assistant were both so easy to work with and made taking pictures fun. We could not recommend them enough and will absolutely be using her for future pictures!!
Carley came highly recommended to me from fellow colleagues in the wedding industry. She was so easy to work with, a great communicator, organized and detailed. She was so efficien...
t and got all the shots I was hoping for. She worked side by side with our wedding planners to make sure we stayed on time and got the photo locations we were hoping for. She was friendly, kind and professional to our guests. She was affordable especially for the level of quality she brings to the table. She was funny and kind when asking strangers to get out of the way so we could get specific photos. I'm so glad we chose her. At the end of the night she asked if we wanted to take some night time photos outside; I was a little resistant because a good song came on but thought I might as well...And I am so glad we did because she got some gorgeous pictures! She knows what she's doing. We are so happy with the day and with our experience with Carley. I will always recommend her.
I had the BEST experience working with Carley. She is accomodating and flexible. She let us create a photography package that worked for us and even stuck with us when we had to po...
stpone our wedding due to Covid. Carley really is the perfect mix of organized and laid-back. We put together a timeline prior to our wedding day and Carley showed up and made sure we get every single photo as quickly as possible without making the day seem rushed. Of course, we wanted beautiful photos of our big day but we also wanted to have fun and enjoy the day and Carley made sure both of those things happened. Carley and her second shooter were a great team and managed to capture everything. We ended up with the perfect mix of getting-ready photos, portraits, and fun candid moments. She went us some sneak peaks the next morning and had all of our photos to us very quickly which we really appreciated! A few months after our wedding we had the pleasure of working with Carley again at a friend's wedding and she proved that she really is great at what she does. Whether you are looking for wedding photos, an engagement shoot, or family photos I have no doubt you will be thrilled with her work!
I had a difficult time finding a photographer whose work I loved, was at a reasonable price point, and who I felt comfortable with. I am soooo happy that I found Carley! She checke...
d all the boxes that I was looking for. From the very beginning she was warm and open and was very easy to work with. We booked both an engagement session and our wedding photos and we could not be any happier with what we have received already. (wedding was only a couple of weeks ago but we have received some preview pictures!)
Not only was Carley prompt and professional but she was very caring to our wedding day needs and expectations. She worked seemlessly with our other vendors (videographer, venue, DJ, etc).
I cannot wait to receive the rest of our wedding photos ( I have received so many compliments on what we have received already). I will definitely be using Carley for other photo sessions in the future and would highly recommend her!
Carley is an amazing photographer. She prepped for the day like it is her own.....she created a time line, made sure I listed all our important people we wanted in our photos and w...
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
Where do I even begin with writing a review for Carley. To call her outstanding, fabulous, perfect... none of these adjectives seem to cover just how special she made our wedding d...
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.
We had an awesome experience with Carley! She was wonderful to work with prior to, as well as the day of the wedding - extremely accommodating and easy to work with. She gets your ...
photos out to you in a short amount of time after the wedding, and her work is AMAZING!
I cannot recommend Carley K Photography enough! The pictures from my daughter's wedding are nothing short of amazing. Carley kept us all on schedule, and did so with a calming fo...
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!
I can't really put into words how much we LOVED our entire experience with Carley K Photography! From the beginning she was full of ideas, fun and flexible to work with, and very ...
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
Carley is the best!! Weddings are a whirlwind. Like all the other reviews mention, Carley's calm energy is what everyone needs on their wedding day. She was so easy to work with si...
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!
We absolutely loved Carley! We got to work with her for our engagement pictures in addition to our wedding day, which I highly recommend couples do. It let us really get to know Ca...
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.
Carley was absolutely amazing! She is so personable and genuine from the second you meet her! The pictures she takes are stunning! She takes great candids and portraits and really...
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!
Beyond amazing. So easy to work with and incredibly talented!!!
Carley did my engagement photos and my wedding day photos (along with Constantine) and they made my wedding day perfect! She's so fun and just everything you need her to be that da...
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!
A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE
Working with Carley at Carley K Photography was nothing but a fun ride! She's a great spirit, who truly loves what she does and truly finds happiness in her...
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.
Working with Carley is effortless. My husband and I have never felt very comfortable in front of a camera, and were initially quite nervous about the realization that we would be t...
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.
We found out about Carley because she was on venue's list of recommended vendors. I fell in love with the pictures on her blog and i knew i wanted her to photograph our wedding. ...
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!
WE CANNOT PUT INTO WORDS HOW HAPPY WE ARE WITH OUR PICTURES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This was the best best best decision that we made when planning our wedding. Carley and Russell were...
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! :)

We absolutely loved working with Carley and her husband! From day one Carley has been amazing. She’s very organized and was available to answer any questions I had. Our engageme...
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.
Carley and Russell were amazing. My husband and I loved them, and so did our parents and our entire bridal party. They were extremely professional throughout the day but were also ...
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.
I knew before he got down on one knee that Carley would have to be our photographer. When planning our wedding we had to pick a date that worked with her schedule, and she books qu...
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!
I don't know where to begin thanking Carley. She made me feel so calm, relaxed, and confident on my wedding day. She made my bridal party and family feel comfortable. She worked se...
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!
Carley is such and amazing talented photographer.
She was super organized through our entire process of engagement photos to shooting on our wedding day.
We were so excited t...
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.
Carley brought a remarkable combination of comfort, fun and professionalism to our wedding day. The wedding party raved about both her and her partner Russell's ability to guide u...
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!
I certainly didn’t need anyone to tell me, but all the compliments I’ve received about our wedding preview just rave about how talented you are, Carley! Since the first meeting, ev...
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 :)
Carley was a pleasure to work with on my wedding day. Very professional and experienced. Above all she is very down to earth and made me feel at ease on my special day. I just rece...
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.
Carley was an amazing vendor. Carley shot our engagement pictures, created our save the dates and shot our wedding. She did an amazing job on all three, and was extremely easy to ...
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!
Carley K Photography was recommended to us by a co-worker and I'm very glad we went with her. We shopped around a little bit, but the prices and the package options she offered ...
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!!
Carley K was an awesome photographer to work with, she not only was affordable, she was extremely personable, and creative. She did our engagement photos and our wedding, both whic...
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!
Carley is the best! I knew from the second I met her she had to be our photographer for our wedding. We have shown the preview and the preview shown at the wedding and people can n...
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!
I was very impressed by the photographer on several levels. She was extremely professional, amazingly unobtrusive and so creative. The pictures were unique and very natural. I un...
equivocally recommend Carley K photography to memorialize any special occasion.
We could not have been happier with this photographer. This team of two photographers were outstanding. From beginning to end of the event you didn't even know they were taking pic...
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.
Carley and Russell are absolutely fantastic photographers and I cannot recommend Carley K Photography highly enough. Our wedding photos are absolutely amazing. Carley has an incred...
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.
I can't say enough good things about Carley and Russel. They covered my wedding and rehearsal dinner in New Orleans last month. My pictures are perfect. Perfect! I am getting s...
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!!!
Carley did our engagement photos last fall and we were completely blown away by the work that she did. We just got married two weeks ago and she did our wedding as well. We saw a f...
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!!!
From the moment Carley & I started corresponding via email, I knew I had found the perfect photographer. :) She is very easy to get in touch with, prompt with her replies, and real...
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!
Love her!! I can't express my thanks enough to Carley. She captured our day so perfectly. I would recommend her in a heart beat!
Very professional and creative. Easy to work with!
Carley was fabulous to work with and such a doll! I love her creative journalist style. I would recommend her to anyone.
