Carly and Matt were amazing! They were very professional and came prepared with gear and scenery options. They guided my wife and I very well and we felt extremely comfortable. They made our experience very memorable and a highlight of our trip.
Carly is amazing. I’m in awe of the beautiful photos Carly captured, especially given such a limited time. She gave expert direction on posing, managed multiple distractions, and was easygoing to work with. I’m so glad Carly used such professional equipment; I’ve had the experience of poor lighting before, but she nailed it, which was impressive. Carly provided a surprise quick turnaround by delivering the photos the very next day. If I return to the area, I’m definitely contacting her again. I have no hesitation in recommending Carly for photoshoots. My only concern is she’s so talented her schedule will likely fill quickly.
We were so happy we did our photoshoot with Carly! Our pictures were amazing. She is extremely meticulous in her work. She made sure every shot was perfect and knew all the best spots. She even had lighting equipment. It was a really fun experience and now we have memories we can cherish forever. Thanks so much Carly! Love your Canadian Friends :)
Carly and her husband Matt were amazing! It was so much fun walking Amsterdam with them while taking photos. They knew all the best spots for photos and gave great guidance on posing, which made everything feel easy and natural. They were incredibly accommodating, super professional, and a fun and positive vibe the whole time. I love the photos! Highly recommend booking with them!
The photographer is very personable and she knows her craft. She has a knack for selecting locations with wonderful backdrops of historic houses and canals. She is responsive to individual suggestions. The shoot was a lot of fun, and I can recommend it to anyone, whether for a group or individual shoot.
Carly Donaldson is an incredible photographer! She has an amazing eye for detail, captures natural moments beautifully, and makes you feel completely at ease during shoots. Her photos are stunning, and her passion for photography truly shows. Highly recommended!
We had an incredible experience with our pre-wedding photo shoot in Amsterdam! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized. Our photographer was professional, creative, and made us feel completely at ease. The iconic canals, charming streets, and stunning architecture of the city provided the most romantic backdrop for our photos. The whole process felt relaxed yet special, and the photos turned out absolutely beautiful. We couldn’t be happier with how the memories were captured in such a magical city. Highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a unique and memorable pre-wedding photos. Thank you Carly!
Had an amazing shoot with Carly! The session was not only smooth and professional but also filled with thoughtful attention to detail. She truly cares about the little things, like making sure every strand of hair is perfect. Highly recommend working with her!
Love love loved working with Carly! She's very kind and super talented. She found the exact location I wanted from my "inspiration shot" and captured my vision perfectly. From booking all the way to delivering our photo gallery (and everything in between) she was a true professional. I will cherish our photos for many years to come! I can't wait to get them printed.
In such a common cloudy, rainy and busy day of Amsterdam, she still can made beautiful pictures quickly and well. A professional and friendly team.
