We luckily found Carly on Pinterest and knew her timeless style would be perfect for our vision. Having her as our photographer was truly a dream. From the moment we met her at our engagement photos, she felt like an old friend and made us feel so comfortable. She is like the sweetest fly on the wall, someonhow capturing absolutely everything by herself without you even realizing she is there.
Meghan + Justin's romantic Geneva National wedding last summer-take me back! What a sweet day! Even though we were in gorgeous Lake Geneva, everything felt a little bit like Ireland. There was a gentle, misty sprinkle of mist all day, and the lush greenery everywhere and Irish dancers at the end of the night sealed the vibes.

She is like the sweetest fly on the wall, someonhow capturing absolutely everything by herself without you even realizing she is there. Carly consistently takes photos truly worthy of a magazine, light, airy and beautiful. But, beyond the beautiful photos, she truly captured the emotions and personalities of us and our loved ones so perfectly.
We constantly look at photos with admiration and laughter, as we really feel like we are back in the moment with our friends and family; these are the photos we will cherish forever. Our wedding day was HOT and full of humidity and torrential downpours. Carly did not blink an eye at any of this and still managed to photograph us perfectly. She is a photographer turned friend, and we are eternally grateful for the moments of pure joy she captured.

We found Carly through a friend who posted pictures from her wedding on Instagram. They were absolutely stunning and matched the look and style I envisioned for our big day. Her photographs are the most aesthetically pleasing that I've seen to date. As someone who is very picky in terms of style, I knew Carly would deliver. And boy did she! Her imagery is timeless, classic and incredibly vibrant.
I could look at her work for days! I loved her work so much that I even hired her for my brand's website photography. She's a G-E-M! Carly is as personable and warm as she is professional. She made our entire wedding party feel so comfortable and she was a pro at directing the groomsmen.ha! She was incredibly accommodating (traveling all the way to Door County for our engagement shoot!) and made our entire experience a true joy. Without a doubt, hiring her to capture our wedding was one of our best decisions! Thank you so much, Carly!

I found Carly on Pinterest and knew immediately she is who I would want as my wedding photographer. All her portfolios are indescribably beautiful and authentic. When we took our engagement photos, Carly was so helpful in helping us select colors and textures that would photograph well in the setting. To say our engagement photos turned out amazing is an understatement, I cried when I first saw them.
I have had countless acquaintances and friend of friends come up to me and tell me how amazing our engagement photos turned out. Carly made us feel at such ease and like old friends throughout the shoot that there was no period of awkwardness. More importantly than the photos turning out beautifully, she also perfectly captured our love in happiness during such a special time of our life.
Our wedding is not until next year, but Carly is extremely organized and quick to communicate with any planning questions. She pours her whole heart into her clients and I could not recommend her more!

It almost feels like Carly found us! The majority of photos I liked on Pinterest or other wedding sites had Carly's name attached, so I thought she would be a safe bet for our wedding photographer. What an understatement that turned out to be. Carly was a welcomed part of our wedding planning from beginning to end. At our engagement photo session, she put us totally at ease.
It felt like we were hanging out with a friend instead of taking photos. We could not have been happier with how they turned out! In the months leading up to the wedding, Carly was so helpful and quick to respond to my emails. Right before the wedding when I started to get overwhelmed, I remember Carly emailing me, "Hannah, you're going to be fine.
It's all going to be fine. It's me you're talking to!" And she was totally right about that - she is someone that you can really trust. On the day of the wedding, Carly fit in seamlessly with everyone, all while working tirelessly behind her camera. How one person could have captured every single moment is incredible. borderline magic! The results of her hard work left us with not only perfectly composed memories of our wedding day, but also a new friend. Carly's talent speaks for itself, but the way she truly cares for her clients is something that puts her in a class of her own.
