Carly Michelle Photography

Carly is amazing, hands down. Photography was one of the most important elements to me on my wedding day as I knew I would not be able to replay my wedding day by memory alone.
On that day, she produced really classic, timeless photos which was really the essence we were trying to capture at our wedding. I really can’t sing her praises enough!
In the months before hand, she was the most responsive, flexible, and detailed vendor I hired.
As a person, she is a really calm and organized individual who has a very clear vision and philosophy. Carly has a great energy any bride would want around her on her wedding day!

Carly captured the most beautiful day of my life with tenderness and true heart. I thank her so very much. Her style and ability to create portraits out of every moment is truly special. As I looked through the photos, I couldn’t believe how beautiful I looked and how well she captured me, the real me in all those moments. My husband and I, (A phrase I’ll have to get used to…) are so impressed and touched by every image.
Our story: We decided after losing our venue to mini-​elope in the Boston Public Gardens. I had contacted Carly a few weeks out but decided to go w/​a friend, at the last minute he had a conflict and we rushed back to Carly hoping she was still available. Luckily she was all ours. The morning of our wedding I was violently sick and the schedule was all thrown off. Poor Carly and my makeup artist were left sitting in the hotel lobby for an hour while I sat in Boston traffic still slightly bent over from the queasiness. We staged in a nice little room in the Boston Park Plaza and Carly made the best of the horrible décor and the props we had brought. When we finally dressed me and set out for the park we had a very good time. Carly picked out a gorgeous tree with pink blossoms for some shots of the tiny wedding party. We played with blankets and paper umbrellas. The ceremony is all a blur with the park swarming with people blessed with one of the few 65 degree day in months. After the bombing I think a wedding in the park was a nice diversion, people clapped as my father and I came into view. Carly’s photos captured every moment of the ceremony with a good eye. The reception was a small dinner for 10, so Carly just took pre pics and our little family got to have our private dinner which was best for us. We dashed off for our honeymoon asap. We weren’t sure when the pics would be ready as friends have waited months but in just two weeks, one day after getting home we were looking at them and they are beautiful!

Overall– I do not recommend hiring Carly as your «photographer»! She is inexperienced, unprofessional, and unreliable. She took a couple of good pictures — the rest were just fluff. (Black and white of the same shots) Also, she seemed very uninterested in the photo shoot– and didn’t really recommend any particular poses, etc
Your money is better spent elsewhere.
