About this vendor
Hello! I'm Carley and I believe the magic of a wedding day comes from the real, unscripted moments. My photography style is a blend of documentary and timeless portraiture - allowing natural moments to unfold while also guiding as needed. Whether it’s a spontaneous laugh or a quiet, intimate exchange, I love being the one to capture those once-in-a-lifetime memories. With over 10 years of experience and having photographed over 100 weddings, I've learned that every couple is unique, and I approach each session with a personalized touch.
What sets me apart? I’m often told I’m the photographer who makes people feel at ease. From the first consultation to the last shot of the evening, I take the time to get to know my couples beyond just their wedding plans, helping them feel relaxed in front of the camera. Whether it’s a quiet elopement or a grand celebration, I’m here to document the love, joy, and authentic moments that make your day unforgettable.
I offer engagement sessions, full-day wedding coverage, second shooters, and associate photographers to make sure everything is perfectly tailored to each couple's needs. My goal is to help my clients feel comfortable and confident, no matter the size of the group. While I work with all couples, I especially love working with those who share a deep connection and a love for elegant, timeless moments.
When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me enjoying pizza (my favorite food!), reading, or traveling to new destinations. I can’t wait to meet you and learn about your love story - let’s create something beautiful together!
...No matter who you choose to work with, remember that your wedding photographer is the only person with you ALL day and for the most important parts of your day. You want to LOVE them!

I cannot recommend Carley enough! She captured our engagement photos + wedding day. She is so fun, makes everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera, and takes the most incredible photos! She knows the ins and outs of wedding photography and was also super helpful in planning our photography timeline, kept everyone organized on wedding day, and worked seamlessly with our videographer. We are so happy with our finished gallery and will treasure our photos forever!
Carley’s talent as a photographer extends beyond just taking amazing pictures. She’s also a skillful director (the group photos were a breeze), a supportive coach (she made everyone feel, and therefore look, incredible), and a bit of a spy (we don’t know how or when she got some of the pictures she did but we're impressed and grateful). Our wedding photos perfectly capture the love, joy, and fun of the event. My wife and I are incredibly happy with Carley’s work — and our guests are wowed.
Carley was an absolute gem to work with! Not only is her quality of work incredible, but she’s also just a stellar person you want following you around all day.
Carley was someone I stumbled upon in a never-ending scroll on Instagram looking for vendors and wedding inspiration. I’ve followed a few photographers for a while, but I didn’t think their style was exactly what I was looking for. Then comes Carley, I swooned over her range of intimate couple shots, fun candid’s, and her creative vision. You know, the ones you’re posing for that you cannot even picture what the end result will look like but then turn into complete magic?
Last thing, her attention to detail is EVERYTHING. She makes sure you cover all bases, and she brings up things that I would’ve ever have thought of until the very last minute.
We cannot wait to hire Carley again for future shoots!
She is magic. Her art moves. She captures light and dark and makes it work in every photo she takes. She allowed my beau and I and our love to be her muse and this, I think, is what makes Carley unique. She is a brilliant people reader and soul nurturer and these gifts allow her talent to work... she is amazing at her craft.
