Hello my darlings, I’m Carly, I live in Sydney’s inner-west (but will travel, yes!) I’m a Queer ally, neuro-spicy literate, a lover of all people, and all things artistic, alternative and non-traditional. From festival weddings, to breweries, backyards, warehouses or whatever lights you up; I get a kick out of helping people reimagine norms and make magic doing things their way. My photography style is both emotive and creative. A documentary of all the candid goodness that unfolds on your day, whilst also playful, artful, cheeky and joy-filled. If you’re looking for a heart-led photographer whose work is real and raw; yet also knows how to beckon all the colour, fun and magic out of your community; you’re in luck my treasures.

I never do reviews…it takes something pretty remarkable to prompt me; and I honestly can’t recommend Carly enough. I’m a photo-phobe, it was the part I was dreading most about our wedding. Yet somehow Carly and her magic made me LOVE it. The banter, the laughs, the warmth and the creativity is second to none! If you are looking for someone to trust to capture your special moments, who brings such a beautifully calm and cheeky chilled vibe with her wherever she goes.. look no further. Queer weddings, lesbian weddings, straight weddings, upside down weddings…Carly is your gal.

We knew we wanted to get married, but a lot of what we saw in the wedding industry didn’t resonate with our vibe. We wanted a sick-ass party. With our people, minus the stiff formality. We were gunning for fabulousness; the elevated feels of a wedding, without all the wank. Think doof vibes but glamour. Ceremony in nature loaded with sass and silliness. After party in a cosy venue with DIY sound systems, friends on the decks,  deconstructed, decentralised roles, dance and performances, and as much community participation as possible. Carly was the dream wedding photographer for all of this. From planning, to hacks, to general human energy rad-ness. She’s lived, breathed, worked in these spaces and it shows. Her input was invaluable and the end result, the photos - made us cry. She’s not just your dream wedding photographer, she’s an essential ingredient in cultivating the love spell of your DREAMS. Bravo Carly. Chef’s kiss.

Thank you Carly for being our dream wedding photographer! Not only were you responsive, attentive, thoughtful, organised and warm; you made planning our DIY, backyard-festival style wedding FUN and immediately understood the queer-friendly, alternative, playful and candid style of wedding photography we were looking for. The photos capture our energy, community and hearts perfectly. Your ability to find authentic moments and translate them into permanent memories is a SUPERPOWER! Thank you for also being such a calming and reassuring presence throughout the day, when things got a bit stressful (as they often do with weddings!), so we could just enjoy the amazing experience. We love you!

Carly is absolutely amazing. One of those few souls you meet in your life who are just extra special. She really takes the time to get to know you and your family and friends, and to make them all feel so seen and comfortable. Her photography skills are incredible. Her photos made me cry, they made me laugh and I think it takes someone very special and talented to create that and really bring the photographs back into real memories and emotions. She is just magical. Thank you Carly xx

Hiring Carly was hands down the best decision we made. Not just a wedding photographer with extraordinary talent, but your best friend in those moments when you need support the most. On the day people warmed to her instantly and their joy was palpable from afar. Carly has mastered the balance of giving direction where needed AND making people feel seen, supported and beautiful. 

The results are in the photographs. When we first received them we cried. She had captured so many truly magical moments. So vivid were the feelings in each, we were immediately transported back. We couldn’t be more thankful to Carly and couldn’t recommend her enough for your wedding, festival or party. She is an artist spreading the joy that the world needs. 

You’re the best, Carly!

We didn’t just want a wedding, we wanted full wedding festival. We wanted to really drop in with our people over multiple days and create an immersive experience. Carly’s background in the bush doof scene and her work in the Arts really spoke to us. That was before we met her. Her energy is contagious and inspiring and makes you feel that everything is not just going to be ok… it’s going to be fabulous! We saw what she did with her own wedding (marrying a tonne of her friends on her dream island in what can only be described as the best shroom trip you’ve ever been on) and we were like YES. We need a human who can help us create this, not only capture it. And holy macaroni did she excel on ALL fronts. Feeling forever blessed and obsessed with the outcome!

★★★★★

Carly was an absolute dream to work with and we’re obsessed with our wedding photos! Carly was magical- unobtrusive and intuitive; she captured all of our special moments without us even noticing. She guided us in subtle ways to get the best angles which felt so incredibly natural. She can absolutely work a crowd and get people laughing and being their best selves. Honestly we could not be happier with our photos. Friends have even said they’re the best wedding photos they’ve ever seen 🥰

★★★★★

The VERY best wedding photographer ever! Carly has phenomenal talent. We have looked at our wedding photos a million times and never tire of it, the photos capture magical micro-moments you see more of everytime you revisit them. If you don’t want boring, generic, wedding photos, then Carlita Sari is the one for you. She’s also just an incredible person, generous and so authentically warm and open. Everyone loved her, even our dogs and the toddlers! She brought kindness and love to everyone and honestly it shows in the photos.

★★★★★

Carly is truly magical 💫 She’s full of energy and warmth that creates wonderful excitement while also bringing a beautiful sense of calm; she’s one of those people that you feel completely at ease with straight away. We were blown away by the photos of our Sydney Wedding. They captured the energy, joy, and love of the big moments as well as all the incredible little candids and details; Carly somehow captured it all. We had so much fun with her, she’s a great communicator, organised, warm, trustworthy and always kind. We feel so grateful (& clever!)  to have booked her. She’s an artist who will wrap you and your loved ones in the warmest embrace. Thank you SO much Carly 💕

Carly is the most amazing wedding photographer; her ability to catch true and beautiful emotions is by far the best I have seen. We are so, so, so incredibly happy with our wedding photos! It was exactly what I wanted, raw, authentic moments, no poses, just beauty and realness.

★★★★★

We had the most magical wedding and so much of that was to do with Carly! From the first phone call I knew we had to go with her. She’s so supportive through the whole process and had amazing tips and hacks for how to make our day run smoothly and allow us to just be with our people more, the thing that meant most to us. Perfect doesn’t even begin to describe the photos - we want to print them all! All our guests loved Carly too, including our young 8 and 6 year old neighbours who helped us get ready. You need Carly’s talent, magic and kindness to capture your special moments.

Omg do yourself a solid and book Carly immediately! She photographed our celebration so candidly and beautifully. The photos are full of fun, joy, love, playfulness and allllll the emotions. Her understanding of light brings magic into each photograph and gives them an artistic quality. Not only is she oh so talented- she is an absolute delight of a person to work with. We will definitely use her again and could not recommend her highly enough.
