After going through this entire experience, I couldn't imagine having anyone other than Charleton Churchill there with us on our special day shooting our Wedding photos.
I absolutely cherish photos in general, so I researched long and hard lo...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.
