Choosing your wedding photographer is about more than beautiful images — it’s about trust, communication, and feeling completely supported on one of the most important days of your life.
As a Pittsburgh wedding photographer, I’ve had the honor of working with incredible couples throughout Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania at a wide range of wedding venues. Below are real wedding photography testimonials from couples who trusted me to document their day with care, intention, and a timeless, light-filled approach.
Bella Terra Vineyards / Hunker, PA
Carly and Mike captured our wedding day perfectly. From start to finish, Carly was beyond generous with her time, creativity and talent.
The engagement photo session included with our wedding package was a perfect way to get to know Carly and her shooting style. I was nervous about posing or acting for the camera, but Carly kept both of us so natural and candid to capture our true personalities.
Carly sent us a survey in advance of our wedding that helped us think through everything we needed and allowed her to have all the details on hand the day of the wedding.
On the wedding day, we had Carly as our main photographer, her husband Mike as our videographer and Samantha Fitzhenry as our second photographer. The whole team was so easy to work with. They kept us on schedule and captured all the moments we wanted on film. At the same time though, they did not intrude on our day at all. They captured us without pulling us away from the emotions and moments of the day. By the end, they were part of the party, and we couldn’t be more thankful for that.
Her turnaround time was lightning fast! Despite the huge volume of photos to process, we had a sneak peak with hundreds of photos within the same week. We had thousands within a couple weeks, and more are still coming!
Our biggest advice besides going with Carly as your photographer is GET THE VIDEO! The video was ready within a couple weeks, and it brought both of us to tears to see and hear the day. The editing style was personal and so meaningful. We can’t wait to show Carly and Mike’s photos and videos to our kids one day.
Pittsburgh Marriott North / Cranberry Twp, PA
Carly was absolutely incredible to work with, we cannot recommend her enough! Our wedding day was a classic Pittsburgh rainy day and she managed to capture it all so beautifully!! In less than ideal conditions, she was so quick on her feet and helped keep all of our spirits up to make sure we captured the photos of our dreams! Thank you Carly, looking forward to working with you again in the future for sure.
Sheraton Station Square / Pittsburgh, PA
I seriously cannot recommend Carly and her team enough!! We hired Carly for both photography and videography for our wedding day, and to say we love her work is an understatement. Carly was incredible to work with from start to finish and truly helped make our day so special. We are absolutely in love with our memories of the day from Carly, and can’t say enough good things.
10th Street Station / Ford City, PA
Carly was amazing to work with at our wedding! She provided a packet that covered everything I could think of and MORE. She was fun with our bridal party, awesome with our two year old and made me feel so comfortable while posing (when I’m usually so awkward!) then she provided a fun sneak peek within 24 hours. 10000% would recommend over and over again
Rivers Casino / Pittsburgh, PA
I wish I could give Carly 10/10 stars! I reached out to Carly when we started wedding planning to entertain the idea of adding a video of our day. I had a very limited budget to work with but Carly was able to provide some options for us for this to be possible! She was so easy to communicate with leading up to the day, on the day-of and post! On the day of the wedding she just blended in, it was like she wasn't even there but captured our whole day perfectly! After the wedding she sent a lovely note giving us a timeline when our video would be done and delivered right on time! I was never worried if we were going to get our video or not.
Now...THE VIDEO! I didn't really cry on my wedding day, I was soaking it all in...but this video brought back every single memory I wanted to hold close to my heart from our most perfect day! Carly and her team are spectacular. I would highly highly recommend.
Woodhaven 1796 / Schellsburg, PA
Carly and Mike are absolutely amazing. I could write chapters on how awesome they were - Carly is so bubbly and funny and kind and made us all feel comfortable and relaxed. She and Mike are both positive and supportive and bring a sense of fun while also being professional and providing quality work. Our guests didn’t stop talking about how awesome they were and how great it was that they were involved and having fun with the whole family and fit right in. Would highly recommend again and again. Very flexible and laid back but still involved and quick turn around with quality products. Our only regret was not also getting video for our wedding. Carly is super flexible and willing to work on a package that works for your needs and budget. Would recommend 100x
Gardens of Stonebridge / Ambridge, PA
Carly and her husband Mike were our photographers for our wedding in June, 2024. Carly was amazing through the whole process of booking, planning and executing! She worked with us to make sure we got exactly what we needed to ensure the entire event could be shared and remembered! Not only did they get amazing standard shots of the ceremony and reception, but the extent they went to capture the event from many different and unique angles was exceptional! Our wedding was at a flower garden, and they also made sure to capture the beauty of the nature that surrounded us! Our photos were processed very quickly and are of the highest quality! I highly recommend Carly and Mike for your next wedding or other event! Thank you guys so much for capturing our special day! You’re the best!
