When I photographed my first wedding in 2014, I quickly realized how stressful the experience could be for couples. From the overwhelming number of photographers to choose from to the fear of spending thousands on someone they couldn’t fully trust, I saw how many brides carried that weight.
I knew I could do more than just take beautiful pictures. I could create an experience where brides felt confident, cared for, and completely at ease.
I could take the guesswork out of wedding photography by being transparent, communicative, and fully invested in making their day as smooth and joyful as possible.
Every couple deserves wedding photos that you are proud of, and I’ve spent the last decade perfecting a process that guarantees you’ll love not just the images, but the experience too.
i get it and I'm here to hold your hand every step of the way.

This is your chance to get a feel for my approach and ensure you’re completely confident moving forward. Let’s chat and make sure your wedding photography is one less thing you have to stress about!

It all starts with your 15-minute consultation, where we’ll connect and talk about your vision. This is my chance to learn about your unique story, what you value most, and how I can best serve you.
Become Genuinely Interested in Your Story
Investing in wedding photography can feel like a huge risk. After all, this is one of the most important decisions you’ll make when planning your wedding.
It’s completely normal to feel unsure – your wedding day is one of the biggest moments of your life. But you shouldn’t have to feel like you’re taking a risk when it comes to something as important as your wedding photos.

Carly is extremely personable and professional. She makes everyone in her presence feel very comfortable and she knows what she is doing!! The photos she took will be cherished forever. I cannot recommend her and her team enough!!

I'd been wanting to work with Carly for YEARS. Carly operates with extreme professionalism and is still so personable and makes you feel at ease during the shoot. She feels like part of your family. We were so taken with the experience of working with Carly and the quality of the images we received that we booked her again for our Christmas photos! I truly cannot say enough positive things about Carly and her company, Mayberry & Stone Photography.
Carly thinks of everything and works incredibly hard for her clients.

I was a bundle of nerves on my wedding day like every other bride. I was sitting in the chair getting my makeup done and when I saw Carly walk in I immediately felt a sense of calm. We absolutely love working with her and spending time with her. She has become so much more to us than “just” our photographer 🖤 she truly is the best!
"When I saw Carly walk in I immediately felt a sense of calm."
You’re not alone! Most of my couples feel the same way at first. My goal is to make you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. I’ll guide you through natural poses and create a relaxed environment so you look and feel your best.

You will receive your full wedding gallery at your Reveal Celebration 6 weeks following the wedding! We will celebrate with champagne and design your custom artwork at this time.
