Best friends for over 15 years.

Passionate about documenting love stories.

Married in 2014.

We’re the Allens.

We met as teenagers at a church camp retreat, where a friendship began that would quietly shape the rest of our lives. What started as an easy, natural connection grew into a love that has made us inseparable ever since. Today, we are married, rooted in faith, proud parents, and each other’s favorite coworker.

Our work is shaped by lived experience. As a married couple ourselves, we understand the weight and significance of a wedding day—the way it moves quickly, and the way the smallest moments often mean the most.

We move with efficiency and purpose, anticipating moments before they unfold and adapting as the day evolves. From fleeting glances and quiet touches to grand, celebratory scenes, we focus on the moments in between—the ones that give the day its depth.

Our goal is to create classic, intentional collections that feel both elevated and deeply personal. Images and films that reflect our couples exactly as they are, preserving not just how the day looked, but how it felt. Because a love like yours deserves to be documented with care, honesty, and lasting beauty.

Who We Are

Meet Carlye

lead photographer

Carlye is the founder and creative behind the brand. A camera bought on a whim to document a family cruise unexpectedly became her passion and dream career. A former teacher, she’s calm under pressure, quick on her feet, and confident when giving direction. When she’s not capturing love stories, Carlye is sipping her way through local coffee shops, hunting for absurd travel deals, watching musicals, attempting to keep her garden alive, or soaking up time with family.

Meet Raleigh

lead videographer

Raleigh has been a part of Photographed by Carlye Allen from the very beginning, starting as Carlye’s assistant photographer before stepping into his role as lead videographer. Formerly in special education, he brings a calm, steady presence to every shoot, noticing the small details and keeping a level head no matter what the day brings. When he’s not behind the camera, Raleigh loves thrifting, catching live concerts, collecting vinyl, and traveling the world with family.
