WELCOME TO THE CARLY ROMEO & CO CLIENT GUIDE

2023

WE’RE NOT FOR EVERYBODY, BUT WE’RE FOR YOU IF:

  • You’re planning to have a celebration that reflects you as a couple and not the Barbie-and-Ken’s-dream-wedding narrative.

  • You value wedding photography as the lifelong investment that it is, and expect to enjoy your photos decades from now with zero regrets.

  • You’re hoping to work with a photographer who is known for helping couples feel comfortable in front of the camera, capturing true emotions, and eschewing the cheesy and contrived wedding photography style that floods the internet daily.

  • You care about hiring a company with a diverse portfolio that features couples other than young, white, hetero, Christian people.

  • You’re looking for a team of professional women that goes above and beyond, reflects your progressive values, and has been pushing the archaic wedding industry towards representation and equality for nearly a decade.

“The pictures were just beautiful, and captured the day so well. We did no posing, no weird staging, no grooms as props or other weird princess-bride nonsense. Just laughter, and joy, and love.”
— Maddie & Aaron

“We chose Carly because we really wanted to have a queer-friendly photographer with plenty of multi-cultural wedding experience, but she really went above and beyond our expectations.”

As a wonderful human I know said today, ROMANCE YOUR FRIENDS. “Bromance” them too, if you’re into that. But share the love today (and all days) with people you care about beyond the narrow valentines narrative. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Reflecting on the past ten years in business (!!) I've realized that as cheesy as it sounds, wedding photography is about so much more than just pretty pictures. It's about capturing the love and connection and sweet moments between our couples and f
Are there other jobs where every day you go to the office, people walk around the biggest smiles on their faces while other people throw things at them?
These are photos from the first ever wedding I shot, on May 6, 2013. I had never even second shot a wedding before!! 🙃 A dear friend from college who had taught me to swing dance (!!) was the brave first person to trust me to document his wedding, a

I know the world is freaking oversaturated with bride's-mom-helping-her-with-the-dress photos, but this one is really special to me. I've worked with countless queer couples throughout my career but this was the first time I had a couple where one pe
Ten years doing weddings and I still have no idea why flowers are considered "feminine" and "for women", especially out here in the 21st century/last gasps of capitalism. Anyone else know? 🤔​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ #richmondwedding #fem

“Choosing a queer-friendly, feminist photographer was at the top of our list when it came to wedding vendors. Working with Carly was an absolute dream, and I wouldn’t change a thing about our engagement shoot or our wedding day. Carly is so much more than a wedding photographer. She really gets to know each person individually, and also gets to know you as a couple.”
