Charlotte is a truly amazing human and talented photographer! I would 100% recommended her to anyone for any occasion! She photographed my wedding in August 2025 with her partner a...
nd the photos turned out incredible! She was fun and professional and thought of things I wouldn’t have since there was so much going on. She showed up early and made sure she had everything and jumped right into setting up and taking photos. She made sure to get every pose and shot we wanted and used her creativity to get ones that turned out to be our favorites! She was respectful of our time and our wishes and fulfilled everything we asked of her and more! I would use Charlotte again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her especially for weddings! She is very thorough and detailed with her work making beautiful memories for us! She made a stressful day extremely fun and memorable for sure!

From our very first interaction, it was clear that Char was the perfect wedding photographer for us. She came prepared with a second shooter (her hubby, Dan) and they are quite...
the duo! They were able to communicate without words and anticipate what the other is doing to ensure that they are covering all angles beautifully. They are incredibly organized, detail-oriented, and thoughtful in their approach, which gave us complete confidence leading up to the big day. Their experience truly shows—they anticipated moments before they happened and captured both the big highlights and the quiet, emotional details we didn’t even realize were unfolding.
Char's calm, steady presence was invaluable on a day that can feel overwhelming. She kept things moving efficiently without ever making us feel rushed, and her clear direction helped group photos go smoothly and quickly. She has a wonderful balance of professionalism and warmth, making everyone—from our wedding party to our grandparents—feel relaxed and cared for.
She has a remarkable eye for storytelling, documenting the day exactly as it felt rather than just how it looked. The candid moments, genuine laughter, and raw emotion she captured are priceless. She was incredibly adaptable, handling last-minute changes, lighting challenges, and unexpected situations with grace and creativity.
In addition, her follow-through after the wedding was just as impressive. From sneak peeks to final delivery, everything was timely, beautifully presented, and exceeded our expectations. She is not just a photographer—she is a trusted professional who elevates the entire wedding experience. We cannot recommend her and her hubby highly enough!

stic flare is second to none.
In today’s world you don’t often find business owners with constant communication, arrives on time every time, and was so easy and fun to work with!
The images were perfect, my husband and I sat there, looking through all of them; reliving that perfect day. Truly, what more could anyone ask for? We laughed, we teared up at times but most importantly we fell in love even deeper! The whole experience with Char was awesome!
If you or anyone you care about is looking for a great photographer for your next event, we highly recommend
Charlotte Gonzalez Photography!

ay in a way that feels timeless and authentic. The images exceeded all of our expectations.
She was punctual, extremely organized, and professional, which gave us complete peace of mind on such an important day. Communication was excellent from the very beginning, and they made sure every detail, and timeline was clearly planned.
Just as importantly, she was so approachable and easy to work with, making us and our guests feel comfortable in front of the camera.
