Hello, I’m CARLY
That’s me on the right ;)
I’m a SYDNEY-BASED WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER AND I believe WEDDINGS BELONG TO EVERYONE
I HELP YOU DO thiNGS YOUr waY
Norms are for normies. I’m for the neuro-spicy, the queer-a-licious, the festival-inclined. Lovers of colour, sparkle, music, silliness, dancefloors, community and JOY.
I appreciate many couples don’t resonate with tired wedding norms. I’m here to provide something different. I get excited about supporting like-hearted humans reimagine their dream wedding; and deliver wedding photos that reflect who you actually are. Photos dripping with authenticity, emotions, colour, love and joy. You see patriarchal norms aren’t just out-dated, harmful and problematic… they’re kinda boring. And we can FUN so hard reimagining a version more meaningful to you.Whether it’s leaving behind rituals that no longer resonate, or reupholstering them to be more meaningfully, modernly You. Be it a festival, carpark rave, cinema, bowlo, brewery, warehouse, camp-fest, magical forest, island, or simply your backyard wedding dream, I’m here to support those visions coming true; and to capture it for you to keep forever.
I live in Marrickville, in Sydney’s Inner West (but will travel for the right fit!) I love nature, my community, my bicycle, a good sound system and the purpose I derive from this beautiful work.
I bring my full human, care and creativity to all the couples I work with as I understand photography begins well beyond the lens. Incredible photos are made when you feel seen and supported. So I carve out capacity to do this. Whether through pragmatic tips, developing timelines, insider hacks, recommendations, inspo, excitement (or even the occasional parent-whispering). I want to meet you, hear your story, what’s important to you, (what’s stressing you out), your dream celebration and how I can support it so it feels authentically You.
I therefore work with a limited amount of couples per year. I’m doing my big drive to lock in final 2026 weddings at the beginning of the year, so now is definitely the time to reach out if you’ve been deliberating or eyeing off a date. I want to hear from you!
The 2027 calendar is also open. Don’t be left heartbroken… start the conversation and find out if your date is free!
WHY YOU NEED ME AS YOUR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
“Our dream Wedding Photographer! Carly is a generous, organised, thoughtful angel. She dialled down our stress and made planning our DIY, backyard-festival wedding feel fun! The photos capture our energy, heart and community exquisitely. The way she translates authentic moments into permanent magic is her SUPERPOWER! Thank you Carly! We love you!”

THE CURRENT GIVEAWAY!
COUPLES GETTING Married IN 2026
The first 3 couples to book a Full Day Wedding package ($4750) this January (for any time in 2026), will receive a $2150 Creative Engagement Shoot as a GIFT! RUN don’t walk!
Read more about our ethos, packages and the current engagement shoot offer below!
“I never do reviews…it takes something pretty remarkable, and I honestly can’t recommend Carly enough. I’m a photo-phobe, it was the part I was dreading. Yet somehow Carly and her magic made me LOVE it. The banter, the laughs, the warmth and the creativity! If you are looking for someone to trust who brings a beautifully calm and cheeky chilled vibe wherever she goes.. look no further. Queer weddings, lesbian weddings, straight weddings, upside down weddings…Carly is your gal.”
— CLARE & KELLY-ANNE
ENGAGEMENT SHOOTS ARE BACK
Because we made them better. No awkward posing, no cringey trad-norms (no thank you). We’re grifting inspo from cult flicks, retro nostalgia, 90’s music videos, urban street culture, your cute love story, your wedding theme/dress code. No prior experience necessary; we'll mood board our way to magic, and I'll hold your hands through the process (I promise).
WHY YOU NEED ONE..
Because this is a moment to celebrate. Because we can do things we can’t on your wedding day (experiment with outfits, multi-locations, roll in smoke, mud, water, whatever!) Because this means more time with your guests on your wedding day. Because it allows us to get photos for your wedding website invite, and excite your people for your theme/dress code. Psssst.. if you don’t have one I’m just going to plant this seed: why decorate your venue when you can decorate your guests?! It’s more affordable/sustainable/interactive and yields fabulous photos. Finally, because the whole experience feels like a very cute date; an urban adventure through your fave little haunts. And because you deserve this treat.
“The photos! I can’t actually believe it’s us! Everyone should experience the fun, fuck-it-ness and empowerment of this. I think it’s actual therapy - with the gift of yourselves turned into exquisite art at the end. It’s got us so excited for the wedding! Thank you!”
— Jackson & Claire
