I aim to freeze genuine moments and milestones. I stray away from stiff, traditional poses, opting instead for the magic found in-between. To craft those authentic and artistic shots, I embrace a variety of creative prompts and techniques, keeping my clients in constant motion and laughter throughout our time together. Color is a key element in my work - think vibrant, bold, and natural tones that bring each image to life. I shoot primarily digital with a little 35mm film mixed in.
I'm based in Concord, New Hampshire but my camera takes me across New England and beyond to capture my clients. One of my favorite parts of this job is all the traveling I get to do! My studio, right in downtown Concord, is ready and waiting for all kinds of sessions!
If you're seeking a relaxed and enjoyable photo experience, let’s talk :)
When I'm not behind the camera, I'm either spending time with my boyfriend Josh and our dogs, Goose & Belle or reading! Fantasy and thrillers are my favorite :)

"Jon and I had been engaged for about a year when we discovered Carly. She was recommended by our wedding planner along with one other choice. After delaying our wedding once due to tragically losing my mom to ALS, I knew our wedding would be especially emotional for ourselves and our family members. It was extremely important to us that we find a photographer who could capture our day, tell the story of our love, and document the emotions of our friends and family. After speaking with Carly and looking at her portfolio, we knew immediately that her authenticity and creativity were a perfect fit for us.
Carly drastically exceeded our expectations. Jon and I were unable to schedule an engagement shoot due to illness, and so we met Carly in person for the first time on our wedding day. We are both exceptionally introverted people, and I personally have a lot of insecurities that make me feel uncomfortable in front of the camera. Despite this, Carly’s genuine, kind personality, and creative prompts, made me feel immediately at ease. My favorite photo was captured when Jon and I were holding each other close, and Carly instructed us to “list the colors we see in each other’s eyes.” My eyes have many colors in them, but Jon’s are just brown, so at first I was stumped, but then I quickly realized there were many different ways to describe the color brown. “Brown, brown, brown…. Dark chocolate, milk chocolate, mocha, coffee.” Pretty soon, all 3 of us were giggling!
Carly was punctual and professional throughout our time working together, so it came as no surprise when we received our sneak peek photos within 5 days of our wedding. We were, however, surprised and touched by the addition of 2 short videos of our most anticipated wedding moments. We had decided not to hire a videographer, and yet still, just a few days after our wedding, we found ourselves watching our first kiss and journey back up the aisle as husband and wife. Tears were in our eyes that day. Carly is not only extremely talented and professional, but she is also kind and compassionate and clearly cares deeply about each individual love story she photographs.
When we received our final photos, we were in awe! Our wedding day was the best day of our lives, and Carly’s photographs perfectly documented every memory. We scrolled through every photo multiple times, exclaiming “that is SO us!” And now we are left with a good problem, out of hundreds of favorite photos, how do we choose just 1 or 2 to hang on our wall?!
We will cherish our photos forever and highly recommend to anyone looking for a photographer: hire Carly."

"I cannot recommend Carly enough! Her work obviously speaks for itself, but something you may not be able to tell from looking at her photos is how wonderful of a personality she has. She is professional, calm, inviting and overall, a fantastic presence to have on your wedding day! She was not pushy or forcing us to do any poses or pictures we didn’t want. I loved how organized Carly was throughout the entire process! I was extremely impressed with her PDF on her wedding services that she sent to me initially and was blown away when I spoke with her. She comes seriously prepared the day of the wedding – to the point that she had an emergency sewing kit and was able to sew my bustle into my dress in the middle of the reception as it kept falling. She seriously saved me there! She remembered absolutely every single pose and formal photo that I wanted, which is amazing because your mind is all over the place the day of your wedding. Carly and the second shooter she had for our wedding, Andrew, were such a fantastic presence and really did a great job of being everywhere but not invasive of anyone’s space. Carly is the perfect person to hire to take your wedding photos, especially if you value candid photos versus posed shots, want someone who can capture New England charm and beauty and be organized. Carly was very flexible the day of the wedding and I never once felt any sort of pressure or like I was being rushed. I also felt that her including engagement photos in her pricing was a great idea – it is something I wasn’t really looking for, but it was certainly a value-add to meet her before the wedding and get some wonderful shots of me and my husband! I felt like I built a relationship with Carly, which made the day much easier. To top it all off, she got us a bunch of sneak peeks super fast!"

Carly captured perfectly the joy we felt on our wedding day. Her photos are breathtaking. Her expertise and commitment to providing top quality photography is what makes working with her so special.
Throughout the wedding planning process Carly was professional, enthusiastic, and available for advice. We thoroughly enjoyed our included engagement shoot which gave us a chance to get to know each other.
Carly surprised us with some film photos which were a special addition to our collection. With Carly's help, our favorite memories are captured forever.
If you are looking for a photographer for an event, I cannot recommend Carly enough. Hire her! We look forward to working with Carly in the future!! Thank you Carly for everything!!

"We cannot say enough great things about Carly and her photography. The week before our wedding we had an issue with our photographer and needed to find a new one and by a miracle Carly was available. From the moment I spoke with her on the phone, I felt at ease and knew that our day was in good hands. The day of the wedding, Carly and her second photographer Andrew arrived right on time and their energy was exactly what we needed. Carly stayed to photograph the girls getting ready and Andrew went to photograph the guys. They both captured meaningful pictures of us with our closest family and friends. They photographed all of the important pieces of the ceremony (and it was great to have multiple angles), fit in all of the family and bridal party formals we had discussed, and took beautiful bridal portraits and photos of me and my husband. Neither me nor my husband are super comfortable in front of the camera, but Carly’s prompts and her style of photography resulted in beautiful, sweet photos that captured our love and friendship perfectly. For the rest of the night, Carly was right there to help whenever anything went awry. She helped me bustle my dress and she made sure that we were feeling good and not worrying about time. Carly did her best to get every shot we requested and some we never even knew we needed. Even though she squeezed us in at the last minute, she still delivered a sneak peek within 5 days of our wedding, so we could enjoy looking back at our day while we were on our honeymoon. When she sent us our final album, again within the agreed upon time frame, we were so impressed and pleased by the final product. She even sent us a cute box with printed out photos, and a USB drive with all of our pictures on it. If you are considering hiring Carly, don’t think about it any longer, just hire her. Photos are so important and her expertise, professionalism, and style of photography will ensure you have a great photography experience on your wedding day."

"Carly is truly a pleasure to work with! My boyfriend and I have done two couple sessions with her, and every step of the process has been smooth and enjoyable. Carly’s warm and personable nature made us feel at ease right from the start. She arrived fully prepared with ideas in mind and ensured our sessions were fun and engaging. Carly’s flexibility allowed her to bring to life any ideas we had in mind, and she captured our love beautifully. We are incredibly grateful for her talent and can’t say enough great things about her and her work!"

"My fiance and I had the pleasure of working with Carly for our engagement photos last fall. She helped us bring our studio engagement session vision to life and helped us feel less awkward by giving us prompts along the way. She was professional, sweet, and came to the session with lots of ideas of how we could execute on the inspo we had shared with her. We could not be happier with our final gallery and are so grateful to have chosen Carly to help us commemorate this chapter in our lives."

"Carly is just incredible. When doing research for a photographer, we were searching for someone in the NH area who did not over edit or over filter photos, but at the same time also did not leave photos looking "raw". We were also looking for someone who we felt comfortable with. That is when we stumbled upon Carly's website. Carly does such a wonderful job capturing everything, from the important moments to the little details, and from raw emotion to planned poses. She edits so beautifully, keeping the photos looking genuine yet warm, with bold colors; these bold colors were even able to shine through on our very rainy and gray wedding day. She includes engagement photos as well in her packages, which was a great way to meet her and feel more comfortable in front of the camera. On our wedding day, she was timely and organized. She works with an assistant, Andrew, who was also wonderful. They work together so well and really were able to capture our most important day yet. I will forever cherish the beautiful engagement photos and our perfect wedding photos. We cannot recommend or thank Carly Storro Photography enough!!"

"Carly is so amazing to work with! She is kind and personable, and really makes the whole experience a great one from start to finish. My partner and I have only just gotten our sneak peeks back and we’re so happy with them and can’t wait to see the rest! Carly really takes the time to listen to your wants and does a wonderful job. We are beyond happy that she is our photographer and can’t wait to have more sessions with her in the future! 10/10 recommended to anyone looking for a photographer."
