Getting Married in 2026?

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.

The wedding industry can be weird. I get it. Old dusty norms can leave you feeling uninspired and a bit icked. I’m here to provide something different. I get so excited about supporting like-hearted humans reimagine their dream celebration, and deliver wedding photos that reflect who you actually are! A day that feeels like you is one that translates into photos dripping with authenticity, emotions, colour, love and joy!

Because patriarchal norms aren’t just out-dated, harmful and problematic… they’re also boring. And we can fun so hard reimagining a version much more authentically you(se)!

Whether it’s leaving behind rituals that no longer resonate, or reupholstering them to be more meaningfully, modernly You.

Whether the format is festival, carpark rave, cinema, bowlo, brewery, warehouse, camp-fest, magical forest, island or garden; or simply your favourite pub, bar, beach or backyard wedding dream. Whatever your vision is, I’m here to support it, and capture it for you to keep forever!

“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! We could be more present with our people and enjoy all the fun with her on our team! 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!”

— Simone & Ghassan

WHY YOU’LL WANT TO REACH OUT SOON

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 this 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!

“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

THE CURRENT GIVEAWAY!

Read below to see why everyone is loving the new creative engagement (pre-wedding) shoots. And why you’ll want to book your wedding package ASAP and bag this $2150 gift FREE!

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!) Which means more time with your guests on the day. Because it allows us to create content for your wedding website invite and get your peeps excited. Finally, because the whole experience feels like a very cute date; an urban adventure through your favourite haunts; and because you deserve this treat.

The photos! I can’t actually believe it’s us! Yet somehow so brilliantly, authentically us all at once! Everyone should experience the fun, fuck-it-ness and empowerment of the creative engagement shoots. I think it’s actual therapy! - with the gift of yourselves turned into exquisite art at the end. It’s got us soooo excited for the wedding! Nerves be gone. Wedding come at us!!”
