Carly Fuller Photography

There are definitely cheaper photographers out there, but you get what you pay for, and a talented and professional photographer is well worth the expense- you only have one chance to capture amazing memories that you'll look back on for a lifetime. Once we sat down with her, it was clear we made the right choice because the three of us got along so well. Our wedding was not going to be very traditional since we decided on an elegant Halloween theme, and she was so excited about all of our fun ideas. We immediately started brainstorming an appropriate engagement shoot location. She is adorable and fun and filled with great energy. We live in NY, but the wedding was in MD, and she worked with us to find dates to meet and do the engagement shoot via email no problem. Her communication was seamless, and she helped us find a DJ and florist that would work with our needs and budget. On the day of, she made sure we got all of the shots we wanted and knew how to pose everyone to look their best. She even got my dad to smile in more than one picture, which is pretty amazing, believe me. Our photos are really beautiful, even despite the rain, and I'm already thinking to myself, what kind of event we could have just to be able to work with her again.

laying), and above all, her energy and enthusiasm are apparent and contagious. She loves what she does and it shows. She gets you excited about the shoot. She captured all the photos we wanted, the little details, and especially at the reception, where things can get chaotic. She got everything. The quality of her work is STELLAR. We received our photos about 2.5 weeks after the wedding, and all the photos are beyond what we had hoped for. The level of detail, composition, and clarity in each photo is the best I have ever experienced. Carly is an absolute joy to work with, her work quality is absolutely SUPERB, and not only would I work with her again (in a heartbeat), but I will highly recommend her to any and everyone.

photos where so fun!!! She made everything a blast and got our photos back so quick!! Carly is amazing!!!

oor catching so many memorable moments for us in an unobtrusive way which was exactly what we were hoping for. We are so thankful to have had her at our recent July wedding! I already have friends who attended the wedding asking me for her information. If you are looking for a fun loving photographer with an amazing eye for photography, it's Carly 100%!

nterests/budget. An engagement shoot was included and we weren’t planning on doing one as we have busy jobs, but Carly let us know that she was going to be an NYC. She carved out a morning to do our engagement shoot on the Brooklyn Bridge. My hubby can sometimes be impatient, reserved w/strangers, & he was anxious about the idea of an engagmt. shoot. We met Carly that early at the BK Bridge & she had already been there scoping out the lighting and all the best spots around BK Bridge, City Hall & Seaport. Carly has this amazing energy & incredible way of immediately making you feel comfortable with her during the shoot. She had the best tips for making us pose naturally, avoiding awkward poses & made us really laugh! +2 hrs we had hundreds of amazing shots & my husband admitted to me he, "loved Carly". We were so thrilled with our choice. In days, we had a preview of photos & soon after, had all our photos available to DL/print/keep forever. We used an engagmt. shot for our Save the Date & got SO MANY COMPLIMENTS! Before June 6, Carly helped with all our questions, was organized, flexible w/timelines & last min tweaks. On June 6, Carly brought her fantastic energy & kept our big wedding parties smiling, laughing & looking their best for all shots! I got so many compliments on Carly, our photos & keep referring her to all that ask incl. NY friends. She was incredible & everybody loved her. She is THAT AWESOME! I can’t say enough amazing things about her & how much we LOVE our photos! She has incredible artistic talent, a professional eye & passion for photography & she has this unmatched energy, personable demeanor, & reminds you of that lifelong friend. We LOVE her! CARLY is the BEST and can't say enough good things about her (character minimum is too small)!

helping us set up a hashtag for our wedding pictures to helping with a wedding dress closure right before the ceremony. Her work speaks for itself but let me just say that our experience was perfection. We will definitely be enlisting her services again!

t thank you enough, Carly!

ing photos immediately and was an absolute joy to be around. I had the best time clowning around in front of her camera and the resulting photos were better than I imagined they would be. I especially enjoyed the reception photos with our friends and family dancing with big smiles on their faces. Carly has an excellent eye for detail and has such a fun, outgoing personality. If you choose her as your photographer you'll be comfortable around her, she'll make you smile and you'll be so happy with the photos.

un to have around and works great with everyone -- bride and groom, kids, stressed parents, etc. The pictures couldn't be more beautiful. You can't go wrong with hiring Carly!

urs. She was present, and supportive through every step of the process - always willing to work with us, and always came to each shot with unique ideas and a vision to capture the moment. She truly loves what she does, and truly loves working with couples and families. She handles pressure with grace, and was such a calming presence at our wedding. We cannot say enough good things about her, and we cannot thank her enough for capturing our love in her work.

apher if you're camera shy like me. After meeting with her, we immediately knew she was the one (sounds so dramatic, but oh so true). She did our engagement photos in DC. It actually rained on the day we were first scheduled and she had no problem getting another date together so that we were able to get the pictures we wanted. She showed up at the wedding venue ahead of schedule to check the place out in order to determine the best spots for pictures. My family/guests at the wedding commented to me all night about how great she was and made them feel at home rather than in a photo studio, especially my granddad! He LOVED her! We got our pictures back way before we expected, just a few weeks and they were amazing! Her work is just outstanding and I feel privileged that we found her. Next step is babies for her to photograph!!! :)

art of the wedding more of an enjoyable experience. Carly makes her clients feel like family, but when need be, she gets down to business, making sure that all the perfect shots are being taken. She has a creative eye, and a professional demeanor. We now recommend Carly to EVERYONE!!!!

n to earth but has a terrific vision, was extremely responsive and the end product was incredible. Our entire party fell in love with her and warmed up right away during pictures! I'd say she was worth every penny and I'd use her again in a heartbeat!

ssional. Her prices are a little more expensive than some photographers but it is 100% worth it for the quality and experience. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

veled to meet us at the beach for our engagement shoot photos and they were like a dream. I still can't get over how beautiful they are and how natural they look considering we are not models by any means! She made my then fiancé and I feel so comfortable that I knew we were in good hands for the wedding day. Fast forward to our wedding and it was the most special day of our lives. Carly did a fantastic job of organizing everyone and making sure we were on time getting all the photos around town. She even showed my husband and I how to cut our cake...truly don't know how I would have made it through the day without her! We even got to see our photos featured on style me pretty and my wedding dress designers web site which is just further proof to the talent of Carly Fuller. I hope to take advantage of her talent in future baby photos some day ;) -Brooke & Corey

the perfect picture is absolutely amazing and she was able to capture every emotion that I was feeling on that day. After the surprise was over she even took a few more pictures and I have never felt more comfortable in front of a camera. She made us laugh and put us in the right poses to help us feel like rockstars! As an LGBT couple, we rarely take intimate photos together. Carly made us feel so at ease and laid back that we had no problem showing our love for each other in front of the camera. Her images captured the love, surprise, and excitement of our engagement and I could not be more thankful for her!

k she can handle (ie, she is timely in developing photos!). She gets the right information up front to ensure you have a great, relaxing day. I left a lot of decisions up to her and she captured all the moments that were important to me. The pictures came out beautiful!! I only wish I had taken one with her as well!!

of those people you feel like you've known forever. My husband and I felt instantly comfortable around her which really allowed us to relax and enjoy the experience. My friends and family loved her too! The day after my wedding I received tons of compliments on how wonderful she was; everyone really enjoyed being around her. And I still drool over how beautiful her pictures are. I’ve been recommending her to everyone I know, and I can’t wait for more occasions to work with her! HIGHLY recommend! (Yes, all caps was necessary for emphasis.)

First and foremost, Carly was a joy to work with. We took pictures around Annapolis between the ceremony and reception, and she made it so much fun. She also knew various locations that would photograph really well, and we -- and our wedding party -- had a ball. She was also really great with kids and coaxing smiles and good pictures out of my niece and nephews. She also took great candids throughout the reception, and yet still blended into the scenery and didn't distract from the event at all. Ultimately, tho, the proof was in the proofs - her pictures were fantastic. We have so many great pictures that it will be difficult narrowing it down for an album. You can certainly find photographers for less, but I think her fees are very competitive, esp in consideration of her quality. Photos are the one thing that lasts forever, so I really would not recommend skimping here. I strongly recommend Carly for a truly outstanding experience and photos!

ive reviews, so we had no idea what to do. We made several appointments at different price ranges since we had no idea what the true difference was since they all seemed to offer the same service. So, we luckily made an appointment with Carly before anyone else. As soon as we met her my husband and I felt right at home, she is so bubbly and personable, and she explained everything that we would get, and, most importantly, emphasized how important the wedding experience was. Wanting to do our due diligence and see if we can save a little, we went to a big photography company open house a week later. It. Was. Awful. The photographers were harping all the couples for business and emphasized huge equipment at the ceremonies and promised to be right there with you at the altar to get the perfect shot, and that every photo would be very posed thinking that was what we wanted to hear. Needless to say, we booked Carly the next day. She emphasizes getting beautiful, natural-looking pictures without being right in the altar with you so she doesn't block your friends' and families' views of your special day. For the actual wedding, she did beautiful work. Her and her assistant (who I can't for the life of me remember his name, but he was fantastic as well) captured all the important family and bridal party shots as well as all the fun photos from the reception my husband and I missed while we were being whisked around by family. She and her assistant basically spent more than 10 hours with us and she was just a pleasure to work with, and so excited to be there! She truly loves what she does and it really sets her apart from all the rest. You should absolutely hire her if you can!!

t her where you just feel great as you are comfortable. I am not one who loves having my photograph taken so I definitely need encouragement and she is able to talk you through each shot. She lets you know when a position feels odd so you aren't confused why you are leaning forward or to the side at a weird angle. When the pictures come out they look great so all those positions are worth it. She was able to capture so much of what I wanted for the wedding and can't wait to put them all around the house!

o wedding photos. All of them were amazing. She was very easy to work with from day one, like an old friend that you havent seen for awhile. We instantly clicked. I typically hate having my picture taken and honestly was not 100% looking forward to my engagement shoot but Carly made me feel so comfortable and relaxed. And not to mention, ALL of my photos came out GORGEOUS! She is truly an inspiring and talented woman. Choose Carly, I PROMISE you will not be disappointed!!

at ease and the results were fantastic! I love how natural and unposed the pictures came out and how she completely captured our relationship through those images. She was fun to work with and has an incredibly fast turn around time on her images. There was also some bad weather coming through the day we were supposed to take the pictures, so Carly offered to re-arrange her schedule for us and come a few hours early (we just beat the rain in the end). I can't recommend her enough!

ime is excellent which matches her sweet and bubbly personality. Love her!

gement session, which Carly agreed to reschedule for us at the very last minute so that we could do it when the Cherry Blossoms were in peak bloom, because she knew this was exactly what I wanted. The engagement pictures came out wonderfully, but nothing compares to the wedding pictures. They literally all came out beautifully, including the candids from our wedding reception. She was able to capture all of the happiness and love on that day perfectly and we have beautiful pictures to show for it. We have received numerous compliments on her photos and our family and guests absolutely loved working with her. She is friendly, outgoing and fun and makes the time fly by. We would absolutely use her again or refer her to other couples. Not only is she a wonderful photographer but her rates are extremely reasonable too. If you hire Carly, you absolutely will not regret it.

hroughout the day, family members kept commenting how great Carly was. While leaving the ceremony, my husband said to me, "Carly is totally worth it!" We hadn't even seen one picture, but knew she was doing an awesome job. When we got the link for the pictures, I was unproductive the rest of the day. She really captured the entire day, our family and "us" perfectly. She listened to our vision and made it come to life in the pictures for us to share with our family and friends for a lifetime. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Carly! xoxo

grapher she has become. She is so professional and yet has a lovely casual quality about herself. She is able to capture each moment, from perfectly framed portraiture to candid moments you never want to forget. I would highly recommend her for any event without question, and would hire her again in a heartbeat.

pressions; she can get you to smile, pose, laugh, feel the love, whatever image she is trying to capture, she makes it happen! And she is always there to catch the perfect candid shots of the moments that really matter the most ... and some that are just plain fun/funny that you don't want to forget! I just cannot say enough good things about Carly. She is super professional and just brilliant at what she does. Thank you Carly for capturing my daughters wedding on 5/25/13 so that we can re-live that joyous day over and over. :)

g with her laptop to look up our wedding reception site, and was brainstorming for ideas that first meeting. Carly also did our engagement session, and I knew we hired the right photographer when we first saw those photos. She edits the photos and turns them around pretty quickly. We ordered a wedding album, and it's going to be very difficult to narrow down the photos we'd like included. Carly was punctual, and also helped me to stay on time to get to the church. She was very cognizant of the overall timeline, which is always helpful since there is so much going on around you. We wanted a combination of candid photos and more formal portraits for family photos. She did a great job at both types of photos, and really listened to what we wanted. My entire wedding party commented on how great Carly was - her overall persona, how she makes everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera, her creativity in photos, and (most importantly) the final photos! It was important to us to have really nice, keepsake photos. Carly also tried very hard to make sure she caught photos of people important to us. Towards the end of our wedding reception, she double checked to make sure there were specific people we wanted photos of. She also had a variety of affordable packages, so you could customize your photo packages based upon your budget. Carly was definitely the best choice for us, and I'm very happy with the final product.

ed make the day amazing. I didn't have to worry about a thing and she jumped right in to make sure I wasn't stressed. Carly, girl you do great work! I recommend her to anyone for any event.

taking the photos and it becomes a natural process and you forget that she is there (except when she says something super cute from behind the camera- that's just her adorable personality). We highly recomend using Carly!!

ubbly personality that is sure to get a smile out of everyone, even those who don't like their picture being taken. I would recommend her to anyone!!

first song that played was by Jack Johnson, my (now) husband’s and my favorite shared modern musician. As the photo slideshow scrolled through, and every type of photo I imagined our engagement and wedding photos to look like were displayed, ones with emphasis on architecture and nature, fun angles, serious photos, silly photos, and real-moment photos, I panicked as I searched for her contact information and emailed her immediately. Had I waited too long for a photographer? September is a busy wedding month, will she be available? What will I do if she’s not, because she is THE one! When Carly replied to my email that she was available for our date and would like to meet [insert: at local coffee shop] I knew I didn’t even have to meet her in person. But when we did, she was SUCH a pleasure to meet with. I think we sat for almost 2 hours talking and looking at her spectacular photos. Her talent was there, and her bubbly personality a plus. Carly absolutely loves what she does, and it is evident in every photo she takes and talks about. She remembers each photos session like it happened the day before…she remembered the little things people said right before she snapped the photo. That’s how ‘into’ her work she is. Carly is extremely flexible. When planning to shoot our engagement photos, I had this vision of a snow-filled engagement shoot. We both anxiously looked at the weather and kept in touch with each other, commenting on how we can’t believe there wasn’t one snow storm in the forecast. Well, April came around, and it was now or never. The Save the Date’s had to get out at some point, and I wanted some engagement photos to be a part of the magnets! So, we decided on a sunny Saturday, which turned out to be the most enchanting walk in the woods ever. I swear Carly also planned that out! The greens and purples of flowers budding was out-of-this-world amazing. We took photos at the spot where my husband proposed, and even found a burrowed out tree to sit in. We then drove to a town near us, and walked around downtown and near the water. Ok, so enough about my awesome engagement shoot! Carly made the whole experience fun, funny, and memorable. She told us how to stand, but at the same time let us act natural. Needless to say, we spent way too much time taking photos (was ok with me!). Did I also mention Carly was a ninja? And have you ever used the words bubbly and ninja in the same sentence? Well, when you book Carly, you will understand that she is a bubbly-ninja-photographer. She is fantastic. As was her fabulous assistant who also shot at our wedding. I’m actually disappointed I didn’t get to spend more time just chatting with her at the wedding, because the engagement shoot was so much fun. Carly made everyone feel at ease when taking the photographs before and after the ceremony. And I didn’t even see her at the ceremony at the time, but I know she was there from other people’s photos! She was like – Click! Click! Click! and then gone in a flash, yet shot the most amazing photographs. I can’t thank Carly enough for sharing her wonderful talent and making our wedding day look as magical as it felt. You won’t regret booking Carly and her camera, she is the

all of these memories for a lifetime. Carly's excellence as a wedding photographer is evident in each detail shot, portrait, and candid photo she takes. We were amazed by so many of them! Carly's flexibility and willingness to get the photos we wanted on our wedding day was amazing - she hopped in and out of our car as we drove all over town to take shots in places that were important to us. Carly told us before our wedding that she would go anywhere with us, and she did just that. Carly's positivity and cheerful disposition are infectious! It's easy to smile when she is taking your picture. She really makes you feel like the most beautiful bride as she shouts, "Gorgeous!" or any other compliment she pays you as she snaps your photo. I recommend Carly to everyone I know. She is the best photographer I've worked with and I feel privileged to have had her for my wedding. Make the investment when it comes to your wedding photos because they last forever. You will not regret it for a second once you see the photos Carly takes of your special day!

e is very organized and professional, and she has a plan for all types of lighting and locations. Carly has a vision for incredible shots, capturing the energy and tenderness of every moment. I will definitely hire her again if/when I have a need for a photographer. She's the best!

.and the moment I met her, I knew I HAD to have her to capture my "once in a lifetime moment." Her personality is amazing, she is super cute and professional, and one can't help but fall in love with her! She reminded me of myself in so many ways, and I knew that she would be the perfect lady to see my dreams, through her own eyes. She took our engagement pictures and we LOVED them...and then she photographed our wedding, and although we have only seem a few sneak peaks so far...they are BREATH-TAKING! She truly made me feel like those hours we spent together were all about ME, and NOBODY else mattered! She made me look and feel like a princess, and captured so much more than the love between two people in her pictures! I can't wait to see the rest of what she has taken for us, as I can't imagine anything more amazing and heart stopping then what we have already seen! Carly is just your everyday girl, who found her passion and PERFECTED IT! I find myself full of tears after watching slideshows of her work over and over again, because I just can't get enough. Carly is the ONLY photographer that I will EVER use for every moment in our lives that deserves to be captured! Not only was she our photographer, but she made me realize the simplicity and beauty in so many things in life! I am hopeful that as Carly and I spend more time together through her work, I will become more than just a client...but also a friend. Her bubbly personality and humbleness makes me wish for a friend more like her! She always makes me smile and laugh, and feel beautiful inside and out! Hey..she even got my super shy husband to embarrass me in public (that takes skill)! Carly makes me want to take my itch for photography and take time for myself to learn more about it and learn to capture the world, with passion and a camera! Carly if you are reading this, and you want to spread your passion...I'm your girl! I've always wanted to learn more about the art of photography...and who better than the one and only CARLY FULLER! :)

vous at first and didn't know what to expect, but Carly made us feel very comfortable and we loved every minute of our session. We received the photo gallery and love it all! We are so happy to have her be part of our wedding. Thanks Carly!!!!!!!!

r to anybody and for any occasion.

endor of the day. Anyone planning a wedding anywhere, but especially MD, Northern VA, DC, and Philly should use her. Love, love, love her!

ne loved her at the wedding and she even had pictures up on a slide show during the reception to show guests. Every photo was amazing and I was worried since it was raining that she wouldn't be able to get good shots. I will use her for any event that we need a photographer. Her prices are reasonable and even if they weren't I would have paid more because every picture was breathtaking! She is so talented and I have no fear will be hard to book soon because EVERYONE should use her!

alized website she created for us with this information on it. When we made our decision, this login became the one we used to access our contract, invoice, and later, our survey to complete our shot sheet. It was super easy to navigate and kept things organized. Carly did our engagement session and was very friendly, enthusiastic, and professional. Just watching her work, it was very apparent she is very good at what she does. She even had some of these photos featured on United with Love. She and Kristin (the second photographer we hired through CF Photography) did a great job taking photos during our ceremony without anyone noticing their presence. Carly did not mind at all when my mom wanted to add on 6-7 additional groups to the original shot sheet we had sent her. She also helped fix my now-husband and groomsmen's pocket squares, taught us all how to hold a bouquet the right way, directed my large family in a professional and efficient way, and was excellent with the kids in our group. Carly sent us a video collage of some of the photos to share with our friends and family as a preview 2 days after the wedding, as well as an email of what to expect in the coming weeks in terms of receiving our photos. I highly recommend her and would choose her all over again.

otos that most people don't like to do! Even my husband who never smiles, she got him to smile in the pictures! She was accommodating in every way and you never even knew she was around taking pictures. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer!

memories, DMF

t so everyone was having a good time instead of feeling obligated to be in photos. The best part was when I received my photos and found ones that Carly caught on camera when we didn't think anyone was looking.

perience fun. Our guests loved her and she was a joy to work with!

eyond being an amazing photographer she is also very professional and personable at the same time. My husband & I are not camera people, yet with Carly we were able to forget the camera and just enjoy the moment. She is friendly yet assertive, detail oriented yet can also see the big picture, we cannot say enough good things about her. We could not be happier with the service and courtesy that was provided to us by CF Photography. I would recommend Carly for any event or occasion you would need photographed. She is an amazing photographer and you will not find a more dedicated or passionate person to work with.

aptured every special moment and detail while being somewhat invisible at the wedding. She has a lot of energy and enthusiam. We got married in a historic mansion and she was able to capture the beauty of the mansion. She was on the ball and knew who our family members were so she was sure to get plenty of pictures of them. I can't say enough good things about her work! She is professional, friendly, smart, assertive and easy to work with!!!

he was very professional the day of the wedding and my guests loved the "sneak peek" she set up at the reception. Would definitely (and have!) recommend in the future.

. We cannot thank her enough for the amazing job she did. I would highly recommend her service. Not only is she a genius behind the camera she is great to work with. Flexible and friendly she really makes you feel at ease. She has gone above and beyond all of our expectations. Please do not skimp on your photography. It is all we have to capture those moments and you don't get a redo.

job. My husband and I highly recommend her to everyone we meet. My sister had wedding just 2 months prior and chose to go with Bella Photography and regrets the decision. She had to meet with 3 different photographers from start to finish and in the end was dissapointed that her photos didn't reflect them as a couple and her feelings about that day. As any bride can tell you so much goes into planning a wedding and you want every single detail captured to remember forever. You want to remember the day in snap shots to reflect your joy and excitement. I think Carly did a great job doing just that. If I were able to post my pics I would to show everyone just how great she did.

than I could have ever imagined. I would recommend Carly to anyone and you will not be disappointed!

or more.

ommend her to anyone i know. She will be photographing my daughters wedding. Beyond my expectations!!!!!!

passion for photography really comes through in her work; from the formal posed pictures to the candids... I just can't praise her work and ability enough. She is just not your average wedding photographer. Her pictures are full of life, beauty and emotion and are true works of art.
