Wedding Photography in Pittsburgh
Turning your love into timeless memories
Based in Pittsburgh and serving the greater Western Pennsylvania area, I photograph weddings across a wide range of settings—from iconic downtown Pittsburgh venues and refined, high-end luxury spaces to intimate micro weddings and thoughtfully planned backyard celebrations. Whether your day unfolds in the heart of the city or somewhere deeply personal, I approach every wedding with the same level of care, intention, and artistry. With a guided, calm presence and an eye for honest emotion, I create timeless imagery that reflects not just how your wedding looked—but how it felt.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should we book you for our Pittsburgh wedding?
Most couples book their Pittsburgh wedding photography 9–18 months in advance, especially for peak spring and fall dates. That said, availability can vary, so I always encourage reaching out as soon as you have your date—even if your plans are still coming together.
What is it like to work with you on our wedding day?
My approach is calm, thoughtful, and unobtrusive. I’ll guide you when needed—especially during couples portraits, where I offer light direction and intentional posing to create polished, editorial-style images—while giving you space to stay present and enjoy your day. Throughout the rest of the day, I focus on documenting genuine, candid moments as they naturally unfold. The result is a wedding day that feels relaxed and unhurried, with imagery that is both elevated and authentic.
How would you describe your photography style?
My photography style is light, bright, timeless, and candid, with an editorial approach to portraits. I focus on capturing genuine moments as they naturally unfold while creating refined, intentional images that feel elevated and effortless. In editing, I embrace the color, texture, and atmosphere of your day so your photos feel cohesive, natural, and reflective of your celebration.
Will you help guide us if we don’t know how to pose?
Absolutely. Most of my couples don’t consider themselves “photo people,” and that’s completely okay. I’ll gently guide you into natural, flattering positions while keeping everything relaxed so your photos feel effortless, comfortable, and true to you.
Can we view full wedding galleries?
Yes. I’m always happy to share full wedding galleries so you can see complete coverage from real wedding days—from getting ready through the reception. This gives you a clear sense of storytelling, consistency, and what you can expect for your own wedding.
Do you travel anywhere, or only to certain destinations?
While I’m based in Pittsburgh, I regularly photograph weddings throughout the surrounding areas, and most travel does not require any additional fees. I’m also available for destination weddings, with any travel details discussed clearly and transparently in advance so there are no surprises.
Are you insured?
Yes. I carry full professional liability insurance and can provide a certificate of insurance if required by your venue or planner.

I seriously cannot recommend Carly and her team enough!! 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.

Working with Carly was an absolute dream. I planned a proposal and engagement shoot to happen all at the same time and Carly made the process so seamless. She is an expert with posing us and frames the shots so well. We love our pictures and they are worth the investment! She’s easy to communicate with and provides high quality work. We hope to work with her again!!

I highly recommend Carly and Mike for your next wedding or other event!
