Meet Your
Photographer
Hi! I'm Carly
Your photographer, adventure bestie, elopement planning guide, wedding therapist, and so much more!
And of course, the face behind Wild North Weddings! While writing about myself feels a bit awkward, I believe it's important for potential clients to connect with the person they’re entrusting to capture their wedding day. Unlike many businesses that delegate tasks to others, I will be by your side throughout the entire process, dedicating my energy to ensure you have a wonderful experience every step of the way.
Art has always been a cornerstone of my life, and while I appreciate its various forms, photography has been my passion for the past 11 years. Growing up in the Laurel Highlands of Pennsylvania, my love for the outdoors has beautifully merged with my photographic journey, and I'm grateful to share my passion, knowledge, and experience to help document your most significant adventure.
So, why weddings? Initially, I was hesitant to dive into wedding photography because of the immense responsibility it. However, after my first experience as a 2nd shooter at a wedding, I discovered that being part of such a joyful and meaningful event far surpasses any fears I had. I thrive on the challenges and artistic moments that arise throughout the day, and seeing people at their happiest and weaving their stories through my lens.
While my main job is being your photographer, my top priority is making sure that your wedding experience is the best time of your life!
​
I believe in great communication, making wedding days easier for couples (not more stressful), and being a resource to my couples so they’re set for success. I also believe that all genders, skin colors, religions, nationalities, and sexualities deserve life, love, and happiness. And most importantly for you, I believe in providing couples with timeless photos that withstand trends and truly represent you as a couple.

Some fast facts about me personally - I’m Carly, a 36-year-old Scorpio (shoutout to my astrology fans) from the little town of Latrobe, Pennsylvania— Mr. Rogers’ actual neighborhood! I’m a proud co-guardian to my amazing teenage nephew, Nyjah, and a caretaker to a lively household of 3 cats, 4 ducks, and an ever-growing collection of houseplants. Currently, I’m embracing the joys (and challenges) of homeownership, pouring my creativity into transforming my space into a blend of Mid-Century Modern and 'cozy cottage in the woods' vibes. Antique shops, Facebook Marketplace, and scrolling Tiktok for design inspo are my new favorite hobbies. When I’m editing, you’ll usually find me binge-watching a TV series or diving into true crime podcasts—so if you have recommendations, send them my way!
