Wild North Weddings

no Mountains, and Carly made the entire process effortless, joyful, and truly unforgettable. From our very first meeting, we immediately felt a connection with Carly — her positive energy, organization, and genuine care instantly put us at ease. She guided us through every step of planning our adventure elopement: scouting breathtaking locations, recommending local vendors and restaurants, and even officiating our ceremony. Carly is truly a one-stop shop for couples seeking an intimate, stress-free, and beautifully personalized experience. On the day of our intimate woodland elopement — just the two of us — Carly went above and beyond: carrying props, helping us feel comfortable in front of the camera, and even reworking our entire timeline last minute upon our request, without hesitation. Her flexibility and calm energy made everything flow naturally and perfectly. She truly listened to our ideas and brought them to life through her creative direction and artistry. The very next day, we received a sneak peek album that absolutely took our breath away. Our entire album turned out amazing. Carly’s skill behind the camera is unmatched — every photo tells a story, capturing the emotion, beauty, and intimacy of each moment. The images were stunning, natural, and full of heart. Carly is not only incredibly talented but also an exceptional communicator who goes above and beyond to make your day perfect. We couldn’t have imagined a more beautiful experience, and we are endlessly grateful for everything she did to make our elopement so special. It was truly more than we ever envisioned — simply perfect in every way.

became something beautiful, simple, and full of joy because of her. She didn’t just show up to take photos — she guided us, supported us, and genuinely cared about making our day unforgettable. Even though our wedding took place in a state none of us lived in, she went out of her way to scout locations for us. Carly sent Google map links, photos, and ideas that helped us picture exactly what our day could look like. We had several phone, email and video meetings leading up to our wedding, and every single time she made us feel heard, understood, and excited! She helped us find vendors in the WV area, reached out to some of them herself for initial date availability, and created a perfect timeline that made our day feel effortless. She also worked alongside a videographer that she didn’t know.. you would have thought they worked together in the past with how professional and well they worked off of each other. On our wedding day, she brought such a happy, calming, warm presence — the kind of energy you hope to have around you during such an intimate moment! And the photos… they were everything. Beautiful, emotional, and delivered so quickly. She captured our love and the spirit of our day in a way that we will cherish forever. We are endlessly grateful for her. She didn’t just give us photos; she helped create one of the most meaningful days of our lives. If you are lucky enough to have her as your photographer, you are truly in the best hands!! Thank you again Carly, we knew you were the right choice! 💗

peaks for itself and can be seen on her instagram…what may not be shown or obvious is all the extra Carly does. Carly made my wedding timeline, so there’s that.  She also gave sage advice on setup, timing, order of events, all with a contagious and positive attitude while still being a total boss. I can not say enough kind and appreciative words of Carly and her services. If I could keep 1 vendor of my wedding the same and do it again it’d be this. 

and somehow delivered an entire album worth of beautiful photos. We wanted our elopement to be as simple as possible and Carly made it all come together perfectly without any hassle. She’s the total package and a true professional. 

I’m so glad we chose Carly! 

pictures! 

lot of wonderful resources for the type of photographer and wedding we were looking for. She was always quick to communicate with us and was very easy to work with before our big day. On the day of, I wouldn't have wanted anyone else to shoot our wedding. Carly was an absolute joy to have with us, our personalities worked really well together and she is really game for anything! She was a trooper with our larger group and hike that day and captured some absolutely wonderful memories perfectly. Our sneak peak arrived really quickly and our full album arrived on time. Every single image was perfect and edited to capture the atmosphere and feel of that day for us. It felt so personalized!

nough to ask for a great photographer, but on top of that, she is also an amazing human. She is kind, personable, patient, and makes the photoshoot process so seamless. She is willing to try every different angle and pose just to get that right one, she makes the entire experience so easy and relaxing, especially for those who feel anxious or nervous having their picture taken. I would recommend Carly to everyone and anyone who asked, it was an absolute honor to have her photograph our wedding and engagement shoot, and I plan to use her for everything and anything I need pictures for in the future!! I recommend you reach out to her ASAP to guarantee she is available!!!

turing the best moments for the couple. It was greatly appreciated to have worked with such an amazing and collaborative vendor.

searched locations, restaurants and an ice cream shop for us to elope at. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a photographer and or planning an elopement.

talented in her art of photography, capturing the true moments of love in the most beautiful way. She was professional, personable, and always quick to respond. Carly truly listened to our dream and helped bring it to life. She made sure our wedding day felt balanced and effortless, all while allowing us to whisk her away for a fun, spontaneous lunch break! She truly went above and beyond. We can’t wait to continue growing with Carly. Thank you so much for making our dream of a wild and intimate Shenandoah National Park wedding come true!

t confidence in her work, and it’s such a relief to know our wedding photography is in the hands of a true professional.

the planning phase, she clearly knows her field well. From our initial conversations through my special day she made the whole experience feel easy and enjoyable. Carly is clever and such a joy to be around, you'll love having her nearby to capture all your special moments. She has an eye for detail and her work speaks for itself. I was excited to fit in to her schedule, so if you like her, book her now!

elpful for us to practice having our photos taken. She goes above and beyond and will help you with other aspects of wedding planning, not just photography. We loved her style and how beautiful the photos came out.

every spot in the city (PIT), you get a coordinator to plan logistics and photo timelines, and most importantly you get a friend to lean on during the most stressful parts of wedding planning. There was never a moment in time that we ever had to doubt Carly, she was always there and ready to do her job. There is so much security in knowing that one of your most important vendors is in control and ready to roll. Carly was the best investment we made for our wedding and as cliche as it sounds, the photos were priceless.

ack our photos and couldn’t be happier! She made everything look amazing and truly captured how special our day was! So thankful for her!!

nding with our engagement session and I knew she would be perfect for the wedding. Carly helped with timelines for the day, thought of things before I ever did, and made our day so special. She focused on us as a couple and what we wanted! It was truly a wonderful day with them. Our sneak peak arrived within 24 hours of the wedding and I was truly speechless at how perfect the photos were! When we got all of our photos, it was even better than we would have imagined!! I can never thank Carly enough for capturing our perfect day in the most perfect way. Forever grateful to have booked with WildNorthWeddings and to have such wonderful photos to remember the best day of our lives with! 10000/10 would recommend!

is amazing! My husband and I would recommend her to everyone and anyone! She captured all the special and intimate moments in a low-key way! Her calm and fun presence was a highlight of the day!

to our elopement and made us feel so comfortable on the day of. She was up for anything we wanted to do and really prioritized making sure we were having the best day. And the photographs turned out so much better than I could have expected! She did such an amazing job and I am so grateful to have had her there to capture the important moments of that day. I am looking forward to having these photographs to look back at over the years and reconnect with the beautiful emotions of the day. I 1,000% recommend Carly!

not only incredibly creative but also a genuinely caring, sweet and fun person to work with. After going through her portfolio, what really stood out was her ability to create a scene from something that is seemingly ordinary, as well as her attention to detail. The care she puts into capturing the feeling in each of her clients' major life milestones was so evident and simply stunning. Carly did both our engagement and wedding. We had the best time at 5 in the morning, drinking champagne down on the river walk in Pittsburgh. She was even so sweet to make sure our dog had her moment to shine. During the planning process, I expressed interest in having film photos, too, and Carly was quick to say "let's try it!" and we have both incredible digital and film photos from both days that we will cherish forever. We received our sneak peek for our wedding photos LITERALLY THE DAY AFTER THE WEDDING and our entire album within a month. When I tell you I was blown away going through the album I was BLOWN away. Of the seemingly millions of photos taken, every single one was composed in the most gorgeous, creative, and detailed way. When my husband and I went back through to create a favorites album, we had literally 800 in there. It's impossible to narrow down. Another thing that truly set Carly apart was her ability to make everyone feel at ease. First of all, my husband and I are not natural posers - she captured the most amazing portraits, but also incredible candids of us and our loved ones that I love equally. We had a wedding party of 23 plus us, and Carly and her second shooter's friendly, laid-back (but timely!!!!) demeanor made the whole process fun and relaxed. I even felt like I didn't waste my whole evening taking pictures, and yet there were SO MANY gorgeous, varied shots to go through. It was so amazing to have these memories captured and still get to fully enjoy the day that we worked so long in planning. Everyone says it, but your wedding goes by in such an amazing whirlwind; having Carly there to make sure that every bit of the day is captured in a way that is beautiful, natural and authentic was the best decision we made. You genuinely could not put a price on the memories that she was able to preserve for us - she is beyond incredible and we were so lucky to work with her. P.S. I really couldn't even decide on pictures for this post, how can I be expected to pick some for a book?!

hings!

y way and when we look at our photos, we feel that same love and joy we felt on our wedding day. To add to it, not only is she INSANELY talented, she is so kind and so fun. We are two people that feel a bit awkward in front of the camera and she made us feel so comfortable. Our engagement session was a blast and our wedding was amazing. I’d book her 10x over.

hose to get ready with just my makeup artist and her, and she helped me to feel calm, taken care of, and able to focus on my excitement for the day. Later on, it felt like she was a part of the party, which we absolutely encouraged. Her ease at mixing with various personalities made it so she could capture the most authentic moments from a wide variety of characters. She included details that mattered so much to me, as well as expressions and moments that allow us to look back and remember everything we lived and felt on that special day. She was also able to edit a small number of specific photos based on my request, which made a frustrating moment from my ceremony seem like it never happened. The peace of mind from this alone is beyond worth it to me. I'd also like to add that Carly is an adventure/outdoor pro photographer. Even if you aren't scaling mountains or wandering into rivers with her for the perfect shot, she has such a good eye for beautiful nature that your outdoor garden wedding will be just as stunning as a Yosemite elopement. HIGHLY recommend, and will think of her for any future professional photo needs.

-law at the proposal, then for engagement photos, and then for their wedding. She got to KNOW them and everyone just fell in love with her. Her photos provide that wow-factor every bride looks for to remember her wedding day. And, I want to stress how she and her team were not distractions during the ceremony or reception. There are some weddings we have attended where we completely miss the ceremony because the photographer is in the way. I get it, but Carly proves that it isn't necessary to be on top of the couple to capture those special moments. Carly and Wild North Weddings is the team anyone would be fortunate to have document the big day!

phy. She captures moments of the day in a beautiful way that you can keep with you forever. She is also incredibly personable and easy to work with! I can’t recommend her enough.

! We have so many photos to remember our special day and Carly went out of her way to accommodate our special requests. She knew all the great spots to take photos and she made the time memorable and adventurous. We couldn’t ask for anything more!

a bear showing up for the last portion of our evening lol! Her ideas were on point and our photos turned out even better!

The quality of photos is top notch.

de and all the pictures from start to finish are breathtaking! Carly made us feel so comfortable and listened to all ideas or suggestions we had. She helped us to have gorgeous pictures we will always look back on to remember our special day!

amazing as well. Would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a photographer!

eft me speechless. I have several photos printed on canvas for my walls. Highly recommend her!

g day. She encouraged us to be ourselves and take risks, and the photos are amazing! Her directions and style captured the scenery, love, and adventure of our day perfectly. I highly recommend Carly for any photography needs!

d that she had sneak peaks ready for us the day after the wedding. Highly recommended!!

fell in love! She has this magical way of capturing the love of every couple she photographs, she is a master of capturing the most candid and pure moments so beautifully! My husband is a sap and still tears up every time he looks at our wedding photos. I also must mention Beth! She is the best assistant photographer and hype girl (also magic with making your veil WERK)! Carly was one of the most important people at our wedding, we were grateful to have her capture our day! As a side note Carly is a Jack of all trades , she literally put me in my wedding dress and broke her nail in the process! I simply cannot say enough great things about Carly!!

lanning process and reached out to provide assistance/guidelines to ensure we didn't miss a deadline or detail. She has a wealth of knowledge and ideas to assure you don't miss a beat. On our wedding day she captured every beautiful detail of our venue and the special moments I shared with my husband, friends, and family. I was blown away that at any moment during the reception, I could turn to look for her and there she was ready to capture the moment! She was incredibly quick too, which allowed us to take every possible photo we wanted and have some extra time to spend with our guests. Best of all by Sunday evening she had over 50 beautifully edited photos to share with us! I was blown away by the quality and beauty of all the photos and I couldn't wait to see the rest of them. She even surprised us with two small clips of our dance floor during our favorite songs that she was not previously aware of. ONE MONTH LATER, we had all of our photos! Wedding planning can be extremely stressful at times and Carly made us feel at ease during the entire process. If you're looking for a professional, organized, well priced photographer who provides breathtaking photos, Carly is your girl!

d was very helpful throughout our wedding planning process. Not only did she take amazing pictures to capture our special day, but she provided suggestions and insight into different wedding ceremony spots in Pennsylvania based on what kind of scenery we wanted. She also provided us with details on the elopement process and things we needed to acquire (licenses and permits) before the wedding. She gave us suggestions on things we could incorporate into our ceremony and different ideas for our vows. She searched for local make-up artists and restaurants that we could use for our wedding day. We landed on Boulder Field in Hickory Run State Park. It was such a unique venue and perfect for us. She was in constant communication with us and was well prepared for any situation. Carly is a true professional and went above and beyond for us. Thank you so much, Carly!

us coordinate at a national park beforehand!

ions but also with planning and timing of the events. They were super friendly and outgoing. We felt super comfortable with them during our photo shoots. Their communication was really good and we even got our wedding sneak peek photos the next day! The turn around time for the full album of photos was super fast and they looked amazing! They captured all the important aspects of our wedding days and created an amazing album for us to relive our wedding days.

st things about Carly is that she is there to support even your craziest ideas. There is a minimal amount of posing, and most of the photos are candids of you and your significant other being yourselves. Carly is so much fun to work with and makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Not to mention, our photos are ALWAYS to die for. As a wedding planner myself, I would suggest Carly to any of my couples! Thank you so much for taking the time to capture our special day!

it and Carly is worth every cent. She wears so many hats, which was so helpful. I can't say enough good things!

on the hottest day of the year. We still laugh because we literally never saw her during the ceremony, but somehow she captured the most stunning moments. What more could we ask for? Carly was not only our photographer, but was basically our wedding planner on the day of. She helped me create a timeline and had such great advice to help make everything run so smoothly. She is super down to earth, remembers the smallest details, and is also the best and quickest communicator. We had a sneak peek (of almost 60 photos) the NEXT DAY and our final gallery is endless! She truly captured it all and I believe the photos speak for themselves.

e using her for any future photo needs!

nderful photos!

wonderful person ever! She sent us our engagement photos tonight and we have been looking at them non stop. Highly highly recommend Carly for all photography needs!! We cannot wait for our wedding and we know those pictures are going to come out perfect!
