Charleton Churchill Photography

m the minute we met him he felt like part of the family. We ended up mutually picking a hike that ended up being a 16 mile round trip and without complaint he became part of the team so to speak. It was an experience of a lifetime and Charleton's value wasn't just in the quality of the photographs which are incredible but more with the friendship, camaraderie and awesome attitude from beginning to end. A truly down to earth professional who totally kicked ass!! Again, none better!!!

ery easy to work with and made everyone feel comfortable the day of. I am by no means a model, so having his guidance with all of the pictures was so helpful. If I ever need professional pictures in the future I will be sure to use him! I highly recommend using him as your wedding photographer because he will not let you down!

el completely comfortable, and was able to capture our wedding day in the most magical way, that went above and beyond our expectation. The level of expertise and vision Mr. Churchill provides is out of this world. We were honored to have him be apart of our special day.

rfect. He made sure to capture every special moment of our night and we are so happy with all of our amazing photos. If you can get him you absolutely should!!

gher praise than having your bestie book him too.

for yourself. The photos are beautiful, pieces that carry the spirit of Ansel Adams within them. Charleton is not simply a wedding photographer, he is an artist with the magnificent ability to capture “a sunrise, a glitter of green and golden wonder in a vast edifice of stone and space” in a single photo. What I can tell you, is my experience working with Charleton. My husband and I are horrible at being photographed, but Charleton was patient and offered us the guidance we needed. Even though he was with us for six hours, his presence was never imposing. He was a great conversationalist at times and gave us the space we needed at others, all the while taking amazing photographs. Working with Charleton is like spending time with a friend you’ve known your entire life, and once you’re finished you cannot help but consider this man your friend, your very, very talented friend. Charleton’s greatest endorsement came from my husband who loathes human interaction and was not initially happy that I booked a photographer for six hours. After our experience, my husband said Charleton was great and now he can’t stop talking about rehiring him for anniversary photos! Every couple cares deeply about their wedding photos and wants the best photographer they can find; Charleton offers that, and it is my belief that Charleton is the one photographer that cares about your photos even more than you do. It is his art, the image that drives him, not your check. *This is also the review I posted on Yelp*

nality that made 5 hours of photos seem so comfortable. My husband and I are no models so we were nervous that the photoshoot would be filled with awkwardness. Charleton put us at ease and it felt as if we had been friends with him for years instead of strangers. He was very easy going and flexible with the plans. Since we got married the last week of December, there was no telling what the weather would be in Yosemite. He had such a knowledge of the park and a true eye for a great photo setting. He was a great communicator and posted some sneak peak photos as early as one day after the wedding! We got all of our photos back quickly and were overjoyed. I would definitely recommend to anyone who wants the best wedding photos ever!

perience. Charleton has fun and adventurous personality that will make every couple feel comfortable. On the wedding day, he just worked his magic and made every photo look amazing. We have absolutely no regrets and are certain he is the very best photographer in business. Thank you, Charleton! YOU ARE AWESOME!

tly sold by his incredible portfolio and enthusiasm to find the perfect backdrops and conditions for taking beautiful and memorable pictures. Although we are still anxiously awaiting to see the results of our shoot, we are confident they will turn out amazing. Worth every penny.

mfortable in front of the camera, but Charleton made it feel so natural. His work is truly breathtaking. Our engagement photos turned out beautiful. We cannot wait to see our wedding photos!

t and was able to use the lighting from the clouds to capture some amazing shots. Towards the end of the receptions and the sun had gone down Charleton wanted to get a few shots with some different backgrounds and had one awesome idea after the other which turned out to be nothing short of incredible. Charleton worked with us to make sure we got all of the photos that we had envisioned in our head and he helped make them a reality and then some that we wouldn't have even thought of. Overall if was a great experience to work with him and the photos we've seen look incredible. We can't wait to get them back so we can show off our magical day with the incredible photos.

ing day. From giving my bridesmaid aspirin, to reminding my mother in law to breathe before the ceremony, everything they did- was absolute perfection. I felt so comfortable with them throughout the entire day and during all of the photo sessions and I don't typically feel comfortable in front of a camera. Also, if you want a photographer who is willing to climb a mountain to get you the most unique shots possible, he's the right choice.

ittle details that I had been so proud of, candid photos of my loved ones, and of course some epic photos that I can not wait to blow up and hang on the wall. I absolutely love looking through these wedding photos because every time I do, it makes me feel as if I am experiencing that day all over again. Charleton was also really down to earth and easy to work with. This was really important to both me and my husband since neither one of us is too comfortable in front of a camera. However, Charleton really took the time to connect with us during our engagement photo session, which made us much more comfortable on the actual wedding day. Charleton also took the time to discuss the option of a "First Look" with us. I am SOOOO glad that he did. This was an option that really worked for our wedding timeline, and gave us more time to spend with our wedding guest which was extremely important. Another unexpected surprise was how quickly we received our wedding photos. We received them so quickly, that we were able to use our wedding photos as the cover of our thank you cards. Our friends & family absolutely loved this. I highly recommend Charleton

oking for a Photographer that had the style and “look” that I wanted to capture one of the biggest milestones in our lives. Once I came across samples of Charleton’s work, I knew immediately that he was the perfect fit. His work just spoke to me and it elicited such emotion. I spoke to my husband/showed him some sample photos, and he completely agreed. I called Charleton immediately in hopes that he would still have our date available, which he did! I spent a few minutes chatting with him, and I could tell right away that he was a calm, easy-going, authentic person – we totally clicked. We went first to shoot our Engagement Photos with him a few months prior to the wedding up in Jackson, CA. It was over 100 degrees that day but you would never even know it from the absolutely beautiful pictures. My husband and I have really never been professionally photographed before, so we weren’t sure exactly what to expect but Charleton was so cool and collected. He helped guide us through the whole experience with ease, and we were really able to loosen up completely. The photos turned out just gorgeous and we also had such a fun time during our shoot with him. Fast forward to our Wedding Reception Day (we had a private ceremony in Tahoe a couple days prior) and we were running a bit behind with getting ready (of course!) and feeling slightly stressed. When Charleton arrived, he didn’t even miss a beat – He totally put us at ease and made us so comfortable. I think he seriously changed the whole energy in the room. From there, it was nothing but fun, laughter, and beautiful moments captured. It was one of the best evenings of our lives celebrating with family/friends, and Charleton managed to capture every possible shot that we ever could have wanted without us even really noticing. Our family and friends loved him, and it was a remarkable experience all around. When we received our photos, I seriously started tearing up remembering every little detail and getting to relive the night. Not only that, but the photos really are stunning. They capture our personality and are truly unique. There are at least 300 photos that I honestly am in love with, and that is just unheard of. Charleton is so beyond talented. That fact really goes without saying, because if you take a look at his portfolio, his work obviously speaks for itself. He is passionate about his work and it shows in every aspect of his photos and personality. On top of that, he is a relaxed, genuine, friendly person that really put us at ease and made us feel so wonderful. He is one in a million, and I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for amazing wedding photos and a top-notch experience.

ck & fun to hang with (as was his assistant). We can't say enough great things!!!

e creative and artistic, someone who could capture both people and nature in a poetic way. I first found Charleton on Instagram, and his photos literally blew me away. These were the types of photos you only see in famous magazines and galleries. I didn't think we would be able to find and afford such talent, but our dreams came true and we ended up flying out to CA to meet Charleton. He communicated with us leading up to the photo shoot, but we didn't get to meet him until that day. Upon meeting him, we felt like we had known him for a long time. I've never met someone who could make both of us feel so comfortable and natural behind the camera. In addition to being a down to earth, funny, and really amazing guy, Charleton's talent and eye for capturing beauty and special moments are unsurpassed! Whenever he showed us a photo he captured on his camera, we got so excited and couldn't believe the perfection of his raw, unedited shots. He sent us our edited photos with great timing, and we loved all of them. Our family and friends had commented that they've never seen such beautiful photos before. We can't thank or recommend Charleton enough! If you want your photos to be a piece of art and want them to convey your story perfectly, you won't be disappointed with Charleton. We loved his work and enjoyed shooting with him so much that we are flying him out to NY for our wedding next year! We are very excited!

. We hiked to an ice cave, saw bald eagles, drank glacier water, and danced in the snow. Charleton created the most spectacular images, one which was even used in a BHLDN email campaign! We still get compliments on these photos, almost a year later. It was a life-changing experience, and something we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Fast forward to our wedding day, the morning of I was feeling stressed, and as soon as Charleton arrived, he immediately made me feel calm. He (and Ariel, his incredible assistant) captured our wedding perfectly, from start to finish. I didn’t think it would be possible to out-do our Alaska photos, but he and Ariel did it :). His creativity, professionalism, and passion are unmatched. Charleton was not just our photographer on our wedding day, he was (is) our friend, and the day would not have been the same without him. It was an honor to have our wedding photos taken by such an incredible photographer, and person in general. Put simply, he’s the best, and hiring Charleton is the best decision you could possibly make for your wedding day.

you're in charge, tell us where to go and what to do." So glad we gave him the reigns, are pictures turned out absolutely phenomenal.

ked for all of their preferred vendor lists and called all of the wedding photographers that were on at least 2 preferred lists. After talking with 4 photographers, I knew Charleton would be the best. He was the most honest, helpful, fun and professional photographer we could have asked for. We also knew by looking at his website and talking with him that his work was outstanding. We had never been photographed professionally before and he made us feel so comfortable and helped to ensure the poses were great. We felt very at ease as if he wasn't even there taking photos of us all day. Now that we have our pictures, they are even better than we thought. The pictures are absolutely amazing and he captured every special moment of our wedding day perfectly. He is definitely worth adding to your wedding vendor list because you won't be disappointed. I am amazed at our pictures and we get compliments from so many people on them. I would definitely recommend Charleton if you want once in a lifetime pictures for your special day.

s now. Hiring Charleton Churchill Photography to capture the day is the surest choice you will make. If you are simply perusing The Knot to see what your options are, go to his website and feast your eyes upon his incredible portfolio. You will see when moving through his blog or stock images he has taken incredible photographs in nearly any environment. Be confident in the fact that when you hire him you will have incredible images no matter if your wedding is indoors or outdoors, perfect weather or pouring rain, and if your guest list holds thirty people or two-hundred and thirty people. Charleton is a very efficient in his administrative discipline. I received very immediate feedback upon first reaching out to him via his website. I liked that he was very clear and open in his photography packages and what I may expect from him. Meeting with Charleton in person, he walked through the entire schedule with us beginning with where we were getting ready straight through to the walkout. We arrived to the meeting with a basic outline of the wedding and left with a detailed schedule to maximize our efficiency for our wedding portrait, adding to our peace of mind leading up to the wedding day. On the day of the wedding, Charleton arrived early and was well prepared. He had previously been to our venue and already had an idea of where and what kind of images he wanted to take. My wife and I told Charleton to take as much creative freedom as he would like as we trusted his judgment in what would look good. However, he did ask if there were any specific photos we would like to have happen through the day and made sure to cover what we asked for. Finally, we loved the little snippets of our wedding Charleton shared through social media adding to our excitement to see the full catalog of images to come. My wife and I strongly urge any reader looking for a photographer to pursue hiring Charleton Churchill photography as this will be the most confident and rewarding choice you will make since popping the question.

a wedding photographer. He's a wonderful, kind, funny, and thoughtful person with a tremendous romantic streak. He's an artist who is phenomenally dedicated to his craft. He's a brilliant photographer, with skills to suit any wedding. Our several experiences with him have been delightful, through and through. My wife and I learned to trust his eye and his instincts, and we have been blown away by his work every single time we've met with him. Even watching him work is a pleasure; you can tell that he loves what he does. He puts so much of himself into his work. Talk to him. Trust him. You'll be more than happy you did.

see before. As a Graphic Designer myself, I have worked very closely with many photographers throughout my career but not many can convey the feeling and emotions Charleton's photos seem to capture. As a couple we searched though countless portfolios but once we came across Charleton's work we knew we found the guy for the job. Charlton is consistently more expensive then most of his competition but you get what you pay for. With that said quality especially on my wedding day was not something we were willing to compromise. Thank You Charlton, your work is simply amazing :) Gary & Adriana

I didn't think of anyone else! The day of the wedding went smoothly, him and his amazing crew were waiting for us when we got there, scoping out good spots for pictures, making sure those important to photos looked good and behaved themselves. Couldn't ask for a better photographer!

adventure modeling. Being apart of his creative process was such a joy. Watching him come alive in the trees and rock was such a privilege. Don't put him in a box. Let him explore and you'll be amazed at what he will produce. There aren't words to describe the care Charleton has for his work and his couples. I feel so blessed to have him document our wedding day! Brides, if you're scared to get your wedding dress dirty, don't wear it- it's inevitable. You can get some seriously amazing photos if you go off the beaten path with Charleton.

one awesome, well rounded individual! He made not only myself feel comfortable in front of the camera, but our entire bridal party as well. Both of our families also commended his professionalism. BOOK CHARLETON! We can promise you that he will make all your wedding photo dreams come true photos!

sistant photographers are amazing too! Ariel went above and beyond photography when she helped my mom do my bustle & tape the bridesmaids boobs in their dresses so they wouldn't have to keep pulling them up! Definitely worth the $$. :)

arleton nailed it and captured the atmosphere perfectly! The moment we added him as a Friend on Facebook, he sent us a message asking if we were interested in his services. We hadn't even reached out to him... all we did was add him and he reached out to US! Shortly thereafter, he arranged to do a Skype session since he preferred to get to "know us" in person rather than over the phone. The first experience was fantastic! It wasn't just the quality of his work, but he truly made us feel comfortable and like he actually cared about us during the first interaction. It's worth noting here that we planned our wedding while living in Houston, and actually uprooted, changed jobs and moved to Miami in the middle of the planning process, which at times made us somewhat unresponsive to the vendors we were working with. However, throughout the entire process, Charleton was always attentive and responsive, even when we weren't! One of our main goals of our wedding was to not get too wrapped up in the "process" part of it, meaning we wanted low-maintenance vendors who were able to run the show without needing their hand held the whole day. We got exactly that with Charleton. On the day of the wedding, Charleton showed up exactly when he said he would, and was incredibly low-maintenance the entire time. In fact, we discussed after the fact that we hardly knew he was there, but somehow managed to snap over 1000 pictures! After the wedding, Charleton was very proactive in letting us know when our pictures would be done, and even posted some previews on Facebook which both us and our families truly enjoyed. Overall, the experience was better than we ever could have hoped for. If there was an option for a 6th star, that's the rating he would get. Going with any other photographer would be a mistake!

phs that we will be able to look back on fondly throughout the years. Thank you, Charleton!

specific with shots I wanted, he delivered exactly what I requested and then some! Our photos are simply stunning, and all of our friends commented specifically on the photography skills. Leading up to the wedding, Charleton was very attentive and I had full confidence going into the wedding day that he would be remarkable. We hired a second photographer as well, which I highly recommend--it gave us more shots and more angles to work with. On the day of the wedding, Charleton and meant BUSINESS. No dilly dallying around, no chit chat--he was there to do a job, and he did it fantastically! We had so many pictures to choose from! Charleton sent us soooo many pictures and we could do whatever we wanted with them, which was nice. Very professional, amazing photographer--highly recommend him!

ographer.

know where to start with this review, so I'll just jump in... I have never met a photographer who made being photographed so easy. He was always super encouraging, accommodating, and always willing to go that extra mile (or 1,500 miles) to get that perfect shot. Charleton came out to our destination wedding in Kauai, and I can't imagine another photographer doing a better job, let alone one that was even in the ball park with him. He was super easy to get along with, and never made being photographed feel awkward. His candid photos really captured some amazing moments during our wedding, not only of my bride and I, but of her family and friends. Being in Hawaii, we had some amazing landscapes and scenery to work with, and Charleton captured some of the most amazing photos I've ever seen, the fact that they were our wedding photos not withstanding. If you have a wedding coming up, and want, what I can say without a shadow of a doubt, the most epic wedding pictures imaginable, reach out to Charleton, meet the man, let him show you his work. I guarantee, you'll be blown away, not just by his talent, but by his enthusiasm, positive energy, and the pure joy that he derives from his work. He loves doing what he does and it shines brilliantly through his photos. Truly, I can't say enough good things about him, or the caliber of his work.

capturing your every move and I felt that I would be uncomfortable. That was not the case! Charleton and his team made my husband and I laugh the whole time and it really showed in the final results. We had a blast! Photos are so important for your wedding- do yourself a favor and hire Charleton!

ographed so comfortable. He's encouraging and lively. When he is at work taking photos, you get a sense that he really enjoys his job. He won't give up until he has taken the perfect photos. Our engagement session and wedding day, he went above and beyond his duty and expectations to make sure he got all the shots we wanted. He took extra time to make sure they were perfect before he left. Charleton is a true artist and a man of passion. If you're looking for something spectacular, my husband, family, and I highly recommend Charleton Churchill.

r were the most important things about our wedding day (besides, of course, marrying the love of my life). It blew my mind at the genius behind that camera who was thinking 15 shots ahead. My husband and I still marvel at his talent and now regard Charleton as a dear friend. He captures the soul of the couple...even couples who think they aren't "photogenic" or feel awkward in front of the camera look AMAZING, and he makes it so much fun. My husband can attest to this, since he hates to be in front of a camera or the center of attention. On our wedding day, in the frenzy of it all, he helped me to relax and drink in the important moments. He made us look and feel like magazine-quality models. He got both our e-session and wedding photos to us SO quickly (about maybe two months between each shoot). Not only is he an incredibly talented photographer, he is a man of great integrity. I'd give him 10 stars if I could. Seriously worth EVERY penny and more. And I've worked with a lot of wedding vendors being from a background of wedding magazines. Thank you, Charleton!!

ing photos turned out awesome! His expertise, commitment and enthusiasm are unmatched! Another bonus was his responsiveness- he responded to all our emails quickly. It might not sound like a big deal, but when you're coordinating your own wedding with multiple vendors on a short lead time, (we planned it all in 3 months) that makes a huge difference.

go. Loved the final product and the experience that went along with making our wedding photos so incredible. We highly recommend Charleton!

and I are very nervous in front of the camera, and Charleton made us feel extremely comfortable! He was always in touch with me quickly whenever I needed anything or had a question. And, he made arrangements to travel to Southern California for our wedding. All I can say is that once the cake is cut and you have said your vows, all you have left are the memories and the photos. Hiring a fantastic photographer to capture those memories is one of the most important things you can do for your big day. Charleton is the BEST and has magazine worthy photos to prove it. If I had to do it all again I would work with Charleton again hands down. We have one more sister to go and he will have photographed every wedding in our family!! I highly recommend him!

ptured the emotions as well as the beauty of the weddings he shot. Working with Charleton, we found that not only is he an amazing photographer, he's also a real pleasure to work with. We had our engagement session with him in August and he made us feel at ease and comfortable in front of the camera (and this also really helped us feel comfortable at the wedding, too!). He even helped us coordinate our clothes to make sure the colors matched well. Since our wedding was coming up in just a few weeks, he rushed our engagement photos to make sure we had time to get them ready for use at our wedding. At our wedding, again, Charleton and his team were flexible, accommodating and fun, and they worked well with the other vendors as well as our family and friends. His photos speak for themselves, and we've been incredibly happy with our photos. It was a joy to work with Charleton and his team and we couldn't imagine working with anyone else.

ried about taking bad shots was so at ease and having a good time in front of the camera. Charleton's experience paired with his true artistic ability and talent make him a true gem. We lucked out getting him.

mend them for other couples!! Tara & Ryan Rogers

.

on! His photos honestly speak for themselves. I even had guests of the wedding tell me afterwards how much they loved Charleton and that they couldn't wait to see the photos! My husband isn't the type of guy that likes to get photographed for ten hours straight (who does to be honest!) but Charleton and his crew make it fun, relaxing and stress free for everyone. I have so many breathtaking and unique wedding photos that I am going crazy trying to narrow them down to just 50 for our album! If I had to do it all over, without a doubt I would book Charleton Churchill again. Best. Photographer. Ever.

uly unreal. Charleton did test shots the morning before our wedding to ensure he knew the best angles and lighting. Charleton allowed us to be ourselves while encouraging our creative sides. Charleton and his team blended so well into the wedding, that it felt like one of our close family members was photographing the day. Charleton is extremely personable and talented. The entire process was seamless and flawless. We can't thank Charleton enough.

are of course the editorial and glamorous photos with stunning landscapes and backgrounds, but he also captures all the little nuances of the wedding too. When we got our photos (all 1,000 of them) we were pleasantly surprised to see that he captured some of the moments we loved that were not necessarily standard shots for a wedding. The photographers eat when you eat for the most part and we had a quick moment where an entire table of my family was dancing in order to be the first in line at the buffet. Though he was sitting at a table in the corner eating - guess what, he got it. Charleton is also very personable and we had a great time working with him. :)

y just the best. We only continued our search because of price since we were paying for the wedding ourselves. We decided to splurge and go with him. Honestly, he is worth every single penny! If you are on a budget like I was, I promise, do not skimp on photos, and do not pass him up. It will be the best decision you make for your big day. I was over the moon about or engagement photos, and just got back our wedding ones. I thought there was no way he could top our engagement ones, but he did! Everyone I have shown the pictures to has just been blown away by them. Charleton was just the best to work with! He is so unbelievably genuine, and he makes you feel so comfortable! He really made me feel beautiful and natural in front of the camera. None of our shots looked awkward or forced. I felt like he captured me and Landon on our special day. We were able to look at the pictures and remember happy memories, not awkward posing. No more weddings for me, but I think I will be using Charleton as my photographer for all my life events.

s are simply magnificent! We are both so happy that we decided to use Charleton!

hat seemed to rub him the wrong way. My husband and I both love photography ourselves, so we are by no means afraid to step outside of the box, but we just didn't feel that Charleton brought that level of commitment to our day (or even the engagement shoot) that we see in so many of his other weddings and engagements. We had specifically requested shots, but unfortunately even with the 8 hours of photography coverage we booked, things were rushed and disorganized. Many shots were forgotten and of course, considering I am the bride and had a lot going on the day of, I didn't think of them until afterward (I don't feel I should need to, but I guess I would have a checklist if I could do it over). While there are some things I would have liked to see go differently, the end result was still good work. We ended up with many shots that we can display to remember our big day for a lifetime, but those little things that were missed can never be captured again. He does also offer to do a session with the B&G after the fact, but the price is too much in our opinions. Either way, I would recommend him for great editorial shots, but for those cute/trendy "Pinterest-y" shots you might be looking for, look elsewhere or hire a second photographer to work along side him if you can afford it.

in the photos that he creates. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Charleton for future weddings and engagement photography. He is personable, professional, easy to communicate with and truly talented. He is willing to work with you to make sure that your vision is also seen in the photographs. We have received so many positive comments from friends, family and strangers on how beautiful and unique or photos are. We couldn't be happier with Charleton Churchill Photography!!!

Not only is it photgraphy but it is a work of art. I don't think there was a single picture out of all my engagments pictures that I didn't like. I received all my wedding photos and I wanted to put all the photos in my wedding album but I could only put so many. If I had another wedding or big event I would diffently use him again. He is well worth it. The xtra money that I paid to use him was diffently worth it. So happy I found him!!!

tember 2011, I was very diligent in finding the best photographer out there and, of course, I found Charleton! I even flew him from California to shoot our engagement and wedding in New York! Yes, he really is that good. He has great energy and always has a very distinct artistic style to make you look FABULOUS even if it's just for one day. My husband and I had a blast posing for Charleton. He made the entire picture taking process a blast for ourselves and the rest of the wedding party! The smiles and laughter were all genuine, thanks to Charleton's impromptu comments, and it showed through the pictures beautifully! He has such great charisma and interacting with him made it so super easy. Charleton is also very patient; he takes the time for you to be comfortable in front of the camera and he really makes it so fun. I know I lived out my "modeling" fantasy! He was mindful, considerate and discrete during the ceremony and captured the lively moments during our reception. You will not regret having Charelton by your side making sure that your wonderful moments at your wedding last a lifetime through his beautiful photos.

t he is to work with. He's a consummate professional who makes his subjects feel comfortable, and beautiful. He has a way of seeing into a person and knowing what will help them be their best.

his work amazing, he is a great person as well. He made our shoots fun and we felt relaxed. I've recommended him to my friends, and I'd recommend him to you.

grapher, he is an artist, choreographer, and genuinely kind person. As a bride, I felt comfortable and at ease in his presence. Charleton lived up to his reputation of being the "best" and I would highly recommend him.

re to ever renew our vows, we will definitely hire Charleton again. Wouldn't even consider anyone else!! He's very easy to work with, and really delivered what we were looking for in our wedding photos. We cannot recommend him enough!!

work with us and knew what would stand out. The simple beauty of his photos almost betrays how much work he put into catching the perfect shot - he definitely worked hard to get them, but the result is natural rather than contrived. Wedding photos were an area where we were willing to spend a bit more so that we could get images that we'd love for a lifetime. Several of them are blown up around our house. Would recommend Charleton to any bride in a heartbeat.

uld not be happier. I've been to some wedding where the photographers are not personable, rude and bossy Charleton is the opposite! He made you and your family comfortable and captures the special moments! He is amazing and my husband and I can't rave enough about him!

d couldn't be happier with the way they turned out. You and your team were absolute professionals and did a great job at the wedding. All of our guests were very complimentary of your team and their professionalism, and everyone we have shown the pictures to are blown away by the quality of work. Ariel was especially great at making sure everyone was in line and knew exactly how stern to be with our stubborn family in order to make sure everything ran smoothly and was perfect. We are very happy that we had her come along to help you with the photos. You would have certainly had your hands full without her. We really appreciate everything you did for us and would be happy to refer you to any of our friends with upcoming weddings. I think with the photos we have shown people you might have some new customers coming your way someday soon. Sincerely, Trevor and Andrea McGuckin

cture taken but he helped me feel relaxed and beautiful. Our whole wedding party and guests enjoyed his energy and creativity to get more than just the standard shot. I wish I could have shoots with him every day! DEFINITELY book him!!!!

hotographer and how excited he gets when he knows he got a good shot. Both him and his assistant were very nice and friendly and made you feel very comfortable because they are easy to talk to people. We only got married a few weeks ago and because Charleton always wants to put out amazing work, we have not seen our pictures yet, but I know they will be absolutely amazing. We got to see a few at the wedding that were untouched and they were more amazing than we ever expected. If you are looking for a wedding photographer you have to go with Charleton. He may be a little pricier than you were hoping, but trust me he is way worth it and those photos you will have as memory will be way worth it.

tures and we have received many compliments from our guests not just for the pictures, but also for how great he was at the wedding interacting with our guests. Charleton is very creative and is able to take dramatic photos--which when you see them will amaze you that those pictures are of you--as well as the nice traditional wedding shots. We were very undecided about who we wanted to hire as our photographer but after searching many photographers profiles we contacted Charleton and right off the bat we liked him. We highly recommend doing the engagement shoot with Charleton as it gives you a chance to get to know him better and his style, and also to figure out what poses/styles you will like. Charleton used the engagement photos to create our wedding sign in book which looked fantastic. He is extremely professional and easy to work with and responded to our phone calls and emails promptly. The day of the wedding Charleton and his crew worked a really long long day but were energetic and smiling throughout the entire day. We also had him do a photobooth and that was the best idea ever! All our guests loved it and he really made everyone feel like supermodels and now we have a great book of photos to look through. We wholeheartedly recommend Charleton.

to need to be the best! And, that is what we got! During our first meeting at a coffee shop, I discovered that Charleton was based out of my hometown in Amador County and the location of my wedding. He kept racking up the points!!! Charleton has an effortless way of capturing all of the intimate moments of a wedding in a very unique and non-intrusive manner. We had a blast during our engagement shoot. Charleton's energy, sense of humor, and laid back style made my husband and I feel completely at ease. On our wedding day, Charleton and Gavin captured all of the festivities brilliantly and interjected a whole lot of fun for the wide range of people in attendance. We received two discs with hundreds of pictures only 3 weeks after the wedding day, and in the middle of the busiest part of wedding season! Charleton Churchill is an excellent photographer, talented artist, and just a super fun and nice guy!

exactly what his services were and what he needed from us. He showed up to our venue during our rehearsal and talked to our wedding coordinator, which I loved- it showed us that he was really taking it seriously. He told me about shots that he'd like to get the next day and had done research to get some fresh new ideas. The day of the wedding was wet and rainy, but we decided to go downtown with Charleton before the wedding to get some good shots. We felt a little silly running in the middle of the street with an umbrella, but the pictures turned out beautifully! When we got back to the venue, we once again braved the rain and took pictures outside. His artistic eye is spot-on: the pictures looked like they were from a magazine. I can tell a noticeable difference between our photographer and some of our friends' photographers. The pictures are much more creative and perceptive. I am so happy that Charleton was there to document our special day!

xed. My heart melts every time I look at our images and see the way my husband is looking at me and I at him, Charleton captured the love that we share for sure. He is so easy to work with and has an amazing eye. He has great ideas and is not afraid to take chances. He really listens to you and incorporates your individuality in your session. He pushes the boundaries and is inspired by everything around him. Charleton is relaxed, confident and professional, it was so much fun to work with him.
