Charlie Mather does what he does because he loves it.

He knows what to do, what to say, and how to coax a beaming smile from the most nervous guest.

Charlie did both our engagement and wedding photos! He did a great job with both! I highly recommend!
Charlie did such an amazing job with our wedding and rehearsal dinner! He went above and beyond to make the experience so stress-free and easy. He captured every important moment and more! I cannot recommend him enough. Best photographer ever!!
Choosing Charlie Mather as our photographer was one of the best decisions my wife and I made when we started planning our wedding. It was a pleasure doing business with someone so professional. He was very upfront that if we booked him “he was here for us.” He was always approachable and easy to contact. The most comforting thing was that he’s such an experienced photographer that you really don’t have to do much, which is its own stress reliever when planning a wedding. He took fantastic pictures of us for our engagement shoot, preparation before the wedding, during the ceremony, and stayed even after the reception. He captured memories of our entire day that we’ll always be able to look back on and I cannot recommend him more. Thank you Charlie!
Charlie did a wonderful job capturing our wedding photos! He stayed from 9:30 am until 11:30 pm making sure each moment was documented. He even had our photos ready under two weeks after our wedding! After the wedding, we were able to relive our day by looking at our photos. We can not put to words how thankful we are to have had Charlie take these photos we will treasure forever. We recommend him to anyone who asks and plan to use him in the future!
We hired Charlie for all of our wedding needs. This included the engagement shoot, bridal portraits, and the wedding day itself. He was outstanding! Charlie perfectly captured our most special memories. He always has an eye out for a tender moment, a genuine laugh, a crazy dance move, or a minuscule detail (ya'll know what I mean... those tiny details we planned to perfection that nobody else might notice!). His attention to detail coupled with a creative spirit and tireless work ethic is the ideal combination. As if his talent wasn't enough, Charlie is delight to be around! He is flexible, approachable, relaxed, lighthearted, thoughtful, and trustworthy. We feel so thankful that we were lead to Charlie. His photography will be gracing the walls of our home for the rest of our lives!
Charlie just photographed our wedding in December 2018. Less than two weeks later we already have our pictures back, and they are better than we could've imagined! We knew after talking with Charlie for just a few minutes that he was the perfect photographer. He is professional and has a great personality. He got along so well with everyone in our wedding party, and by the end of the night, he felt more like a guest than just the photographer. His style is great, and he anticipates your needs. He took innovative pictures and also classic ones giving us such a variety to choose from. We can't recommend him enough! We get to relive every aspect of our wedding day when we look through the pictures, and that is priceless!
I can’t even put into words how wonderful Charlie Mather did on my bridal portraits and the wedding day pictures! Every important moment was captured in perfect timing. His talent shows in every single picture and he put an amazing amount of effort into all of his work. He was so patient, professional, diligent and easy-going and I would recommend him for ANY type of event. I didn’t have to worry even once that a picture we wanted would be missed and he made sure we were completely happy with the pictures he took. Even with large groups of family, figuring out difficult lighting, and not a perfectly clear timeline of the day, he was right on time and his patience never once faltered. One of my favorite sets of pictures is the candids of our family and friends. We absolutely couldn’t have asked for a better or more talented photographer or more beautiful photos to remember the biggest day of our lives. Thank you Charlie for completely blessing us on our special day and giving us pictures that we will treasure forever!
Our experience with Charlie was excellent. My husband and I appreciated his professionalism and the personal attention he put into his work. What attracted us to Charlie was our first contact. He ended with God Bless and this stuck out to my husband and me.
From the beginning Charlie laid out how he would help us with each stage of our engagement, bridal and wedding. He provided helpful information we would have never thought to look for and made sure our vision was achieved.
We had a non traditional wedding and Charlie was flexible and curtius. I cannot recommend him enough and hope your special day goes just as smooth with Charlie Mather there to capture every essence of the moment. Thank you Charlie!
Charlie is, without a doubt, the best photographer I could have ever chosen! He shot our engagement pictures, my bridal portraits, and our wedding day. His experience with modeling pictures was helpful with posing and making us feel comfortable in front of the camera. He is organized, very timely, professional, and fun to work with. The pictures turned out WONDERFULLY, even better than I could have hoped for. I’m so happy to have these beautiful pictures to remember our big day. I’d highly recommend Charlie to anyone in need of a photographer! :)
Charlie was such a great photographer. He captured everything and the pictures were phenomenal. Truly some of the best pictures I have ever seen. Great guy and would recommend him and his team to anyone! Thanks Charlie!
If we could give more stars we would! Charlie is a fantastic photographer and we could not be happier with his work leading up to, during, and after our wedding.
Charlie is personable, knowledgeable, creative, and above all professional. He was extremely easy to contact and was on hand to help guide us throughout our planning and celebrating.
We can't wait to share our beautiful photos with our family and decorate our home with them. Charlie had them edited and back to us within two weeks, so speedy!
I would wholeheartedly recommend Charlie Mather Photography to anyone looking for the best photographer SC has to offer!
We had the best experience with Charlie Mather Photography, he truly is the best photographer in Columbia! First, Charlie has great packages. The wedding photography package we chose included an engagement or bridal photo shoot. We opted for the engagement photo shoot and it definitely helped us both feel more comfortable in front of a camera. Charlie made it so much fun and we received amazing pictures that we fell in love with. Second, he is incredibly punctual with getting the pictures to his clients. He had both our engagement photos and wedding photos ready for us in a timely manner. Lastly, he gave us his entire day! He was on time to the venue and started working immediately and stayed till the end of the night when we made our grand exit. He had additional photographers on his team the day of our wedding to make sure he got all the best angles. The pictures he took we're amazing and looking through them is like reliving our wedding day! I would highly recommend him to do your wedding! We cannot wait to hire him again for future photography needs!
Charlie was our engagement portraits and wedding photographer and we loved him! He took beautiful and creative shots and we never had to worry about where he was because he communicated so well. He captured spontaneous moments and portraits that will be looked at for years to come. He was so easy to work with and worked diligently to personalize the experience for us. We highly recommend him!
I booked Charlie Mather Photography for my wedding and engagement photo shoots. Charlie is a great professional photographer! His photographs are stunning, and so is his personality. Charlie and his team put me at ease throughout the whole process. They were flexible with our limited schedule, responsive to every question and phone call, and took amazing photographs. I would recommend this company to anyone.
Working with Charlie during our engagement photos was amazing! We had never taken professional pictures before so we didn't know how to pose but he was sure to direct us and made us feel comfortable. He asked if we wanted any special picture taken and was very open to my suggestions. Our pictures are fabulous- I highly recommend him!
Wonderful Photos!! A must have photographer for your wedding!
My husband and I had Charlie shoot our wedding and couldn't have asked for a better photographer! We clicked with him immediately during our engagement shoot and couldn't wait for the big day. Charlie fit right in with everyone and was able to get my flower girl and ring bearer smiling right after throwing a three year old temper tantrum. We also had some friends at the wedding who are photographers and artists and they complimented his work as well. His turnaround time is amazing. We received some teaser photos while on our honeymoon and had ALL our photos shortly after we returned. We are beyond blown away with how wonderful they came out. We will not only be recommending him to EVERYONE WE KNOW but we will also use him for future photo needs. Charlie is a phenomenal photograpger and has become a great friend. Thanks so much Charlie!! Hope to see you soon!!
I loved working with Charlie and his second photographer for our wedding! They were both very professional and accommodating, especially with large, special situation families. Charlie did he research and had asked me everything we wanted before the day of so I did not have to worry about the details. His experience with wedding photography certainly was evident. Our wedding photos are amazing; he did such a great job capturing everything that went on. We will treasure these photographs forever!
I called Charlie on Thursday to see if he would be able to shoot our wedding that was changed to Saturday. He told me he would check and would get back with me and made it happen! He had another wedding later that day but he came out for us and did a phenomenal job. I am so happy with how the photos turned out and highly recommend him to friends. We will definitely be booking him for family sessions.
Charlie was very professional and has a great photographic eye. I appreciated how flexible he is in different situations and the photographs are beautiful!
Charlie is great! So much fun to work with and very professional. He takes amazing photos and gets the back to us very quickly.
There are so many great things to say about Charlie Mather photography! Charlie did such an amazing job with our engagement photos and wedding photos! During the entire process, he was super easy to work with and made each shoot enjoyable for everyone involved. The quality of his work is second to none and we could not have been more pleased with our finished products. Our wedding guest raved about how great the photographers were throughout the wedding and reception. I highly recommend using Charlie Mather photography for any of your photography needs. You will not be disappointed! Thanks for a job well done!
Charlie Mather Photography is amazing!! I would highly recommend them!
Charlie is the best. He photographed my daughters wedding. He arrived early in the morning and stayed with us til the end. He made it a really fun experience for us and was able to capture all our special moments of the day. I highly recommend Charlie to be your photographer, you will not be disappointed.
Charlie is an absolutely incredible photographer!! The pictures are beautiful and unique, and he is so fun to work with.
We had such a positive experience working with Charlie Mather Photography! His photography was everything we were looking for and much more. We hired Charlie to shoot our engagement on location, my bridal, and our rehearsal dinner + full wedding day. From the first time we met, Charlie completely captured my desired photography style, was excellent at giving suggestions when I was stumped, and made us both feel so comfortable in front of the camera. He was very intuitive and found some of the best lighting and unique backgrounds to showcase us. I was blown away when we received our first set of photos back (very quickly too!!) We received so many compliments!
We are also so happy we made the decision to have Charlie photograph every event! By time our wedding day came, he felt like a part of the family and knew exactly what I was looking for in my pictures. He was right by our side all day capturing the exact vision! I absolutely loved that he took candid as well as posed shots of all of my guest. Something I didn’t think to ask for but am so happy now that I have. These photos are the most beautiful and high quality photos we have ever had done! Thank you Charlie for your amazing work!! We can’t wait to work with you more in the future.
Charlie Mather Photography is the absolute best! He is great to work with and makes it fun and easy. Definitely will be booking him again. The pictures turn out amazing every time.
Charlie did both my engagement and wedding photos. He was open to all of my ideas (like involving both my dog and horse in my engagement shots), and had some creative ideas of his own that turned out to be my favorite photographs. I am a relatively awkward human that does not particularly like being in front of a camera, and Charlie made me so comfortable in my own skin. He is a wonderful person to work with, and the photographs he produces are absolutely incredible. He goes out of his way to make your wedding day as amazing and stress-free as possible, and is the nicest person you'll ever meet; not to mention he gets your photos back to you quickly! If you don't hire him, you're really missing out- I cannot wait to hire him again one day!
We used Charlie for both our engagement photos and our wedding photos and we could not be happier with the results. He was wonderful to work with and was always very quick about getting the finished product to us.
Charlie did my husband and I's engagement and wedding photos and we could not be happier with the results! Charlie was easy to work with, friendly, and professional. We felt confident in him and his work from the very first consultation and he continued to blow us away. He checked in with us every step of the way to ensure satisfaction and the photos he took are simply stunning! We are so happy that Charlie was there to capture our special day!
Charlie is by far the best photographer to work with. My fiancé and I had a blast with him during our engagement shoot. He made us feel so comfortable. We are looking forward to working with him on our wedding day. If you need a photographer I'd highly recommend Charlie Mather! You won't be disappointed. He's amazing!
There aren't enough words to say how much my husband and I enjoyed working with Charlie for our engagement and wedding photos! He was so easy to work with... He's laid back but professional, organized but went with the chaotic flow of our wedding day, and most importantly he captured every moment perfectly! Not only did we love him but our bridal party and guests loved him as well. I've heard nothing but amazing things from them about how energetic and social he was... Both he and Bobby were awesome and we truly couldn't have asked for a better photographer to work with. He is most definitely our go to photographer! We highly recommend him to anyone needing professional pictures done as he will go above and beyond for you!!
