CM Photography

I am so happy I chose to go with CMPhotography for our wedding! Charles is amazing. We got to meet him at our engagement pictures and he was so fun to work with and come wedding day he was outstanding. He took the most perfect pictures of our day and I even had many guests compliment how amazing they thought he was because he was non-stop all night and didn’t miss a thing. We are so lucky to have a found a photographer who we could trust to shoot our wedding!! I can’t stop looking at all our pictures!

Me and my husband got married on 4/20 and Charles was our photographer for our engagement photos as well as our wedding photos, and our photos came out so beautiful! For both sessions he did so AMAZING! I will always recommend him anytime I am asked who I used!! And I will for sure be using him again for future family photos! Thank you Charles Merry @ CMPhotography for making our special day so magical with memories we will never forget! I give CMPhotography 5 stars!!!! :)

Charles did absolutely amazing!! He took my bridal portraits and wedding photos. He had a canvas made and brought it to the wedding to display my favorite bridal portrait. He made everyone feel comfortable and laughing the entire time! He was open and flexible to try different poses, but our favorites were usually the poses he recommended! He took posed and candid photos of the ceremony and reception. We loved all OVER 1000 photos he sent us only 10 days after! We enjoyed working with CM photography and will definitely hire them again in the future! Thank you so much!

Fantastic photographer. Kind, energetic, attentive, funny. He did lots of pictures prior to the wedding and all through the event. Great quality photos. I would highly recommend.

If I could give him 1,000 stars I would. Charles was the absolute best part of our wedding. He was very responsive and stayed in contact from the day we hired him. Everyone that attended our wedding had so many compliments about him. As a bride I was so stressed, he offered me so much guidance even with things that didn't involve photography. His personality itself is amazing. If you are looking for a professional he is definitely your guy!! Our photos are gorgeous! We definitely gained a lifelong friend and the person I will use for all of our life events from here on out. Stop looking and choose CM Photography! You will not be disappointed!!

CM Photography was the absolute best choice we made for our wedding. He was so much fun from the very beginning! His process was extremely easy and had wonderful payment options. Charles took my call immediately and got me scheduled! During the wedding, Charles and his partner captured the most beautiful and precious moments of our special day! We were beyond lucky to have had CM Photography! I will forever recommend him! He offers wonderful packages and had an AMAZING turn around for our pictures to be given to us!

Charles was so friendly to all of our guests, made everyone laugh and made the whole day so perfect. He was so interactive while taking the photos, telling us how to pose and where to look. He helped us capture our day so perfectly and I will cherish these photos forever!

I recently had the pleasure of working with literally the best photographer ever. We hired Chuck for our wedding and we couldn’t have been happier that we did. I cannot express enough how thrilled my wife and I were with his work. From start to finish, Chuck exceeded our expectations in every way possible. First and foremost, Chuck's friendly and approachable demeanor instantly put us at ease. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but his warm personality made us feel comfortable and confident that we had made the right choice. Throughout the entire process, he maintained a high level of professionalism, ensuring that every detail was taken care of. That being said, it is worth saying that his professionalism blended perfectly, making us feel like we were having our pictures taken by a life long friend. One of the most impressive aspects of Chuck's work was the sheer number of photos he captured. From the intimate moments to the grand celebrations, he and his team seemed to be everywhere, capturing every precious memory. It was evident that he had a keen eye for detail and a genuine passion for his craft. The quality of Chuck's work truly stood out. His editing skills were impeccable, resulting in stunning photographs that perfectly captured the essence of our special day. We were amazed at how quickly he delivered the final edited images, allowing us to relive the magic of our wedding day in no time. What truly sets Chuck apart is his transparency and fairness when it comes to pricing. We have worked with other photographers in Charleston before and Chuck is by far the most honest about the work that he does. He did not overcharge us for any extras and was upfront about the costs from the beginning. This level of honesty and integrity is rare to find in the wedding industry, and we greatly appreciated his straightforward approach. In conclusion, hiring Chuck as our wedding photographer was worth every penny. His exceptional skills, professionalism, and friendly nature made our wedding day even more memorable. I wholeheartedly recommend Chuck to anyone in need of a wedding photographer. Trust me, you won't be disappointed! Thank you once again, Chuck, for capturing our special day so beautifully. Sincerely, Hannah and Jackson

If you’re looking for a professional, personable, affordable, photographer look no further. CMP was good to me, Charles is the absolute best from my 1st conversation until the last photo, it was the best experience ever, I can’t stop looking at my wedding photos. They are absolutely beautiful. Thank you Charles for making our day memorable and special because you were part of it.

Charles was phenomenal! He was easy to contact in the months leading up to the wedding. He went above and beyond expectations. 10/10 would hire him again. Not only was his service outstanding, his pictures were gorgeous and he was so personable. My husband and I were laughing throughout the day with him and felt so relaxed during our wedding photos. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer.

Cannot say enough good about CM Photography. I have worked with Charles on a multitude of projects, the latest (and by far largest) being our wedding, and he NEVER fails to absolutely nail it. Our wedding photos could not be more perfect. They absolutely capture the vision I wanted and more. Charles is so laid back yet professional and his creativity and direction really show in his work. Even my non picture loving husband had fun working with him on our special day. Charles has worked with my toddler and many dogs through the years and still manages to make magic happen. If you're looking for a photographer look no further!

Charles was beyond amazing, and such a great person to be included on our reception day. We only used him for our reception, since our wedding was elsewhere, but I wish we were able to work with him for our wedding as well. I cannot recommend Charles enough!

Charles is hands down one of the best! When we first connected I immediately knew that he would the perfect photographer for our wedding—he instantly makes you feel so comfortable, and feel like you’ve known him for forever. Our engagement pictures were absolutely beautiful, and immediately knew that our wedding pictures were going to be even more amazing. During the time leading up to our wedding, we were in communication with Charles, and he made sure he understood our vision, and how to make it come to life. Not to mention, he had amazing suggestions on unique shots to take! On the day of the wedding, Charles was an absolute rockstar (9 1/2 hour day) he made everyone feel instantly comfortable, and had everyone laughing, and having a great time! At the end of the night I am pretty sure all of my friends and family became just as obsessed with him as I was. I am so lucky and grateful to have found Charles to capture our day. I cannot thank Charles enough for capturing our Wedding Day, and making the day so memorable🤍

Charles was amazing! He was great from beginning to end for our wedding. He was able to help us decide the best locations for good outdoor lighting and background. He was so much fun to work with and very professional. We would definitely recommend him!

Charles was the photographer for our wedding at Hart Meadows Ranch in Charleston, SC. After having chatted on the phone, we loved how easy it was to talk with Charles and express exactly what we wanted. He immediately understood what I was looking for because of his great listening skills and his superb professionalism. He not only came the day before the wedding to familiarize himself with the venue, but he was also early on our wedding day and made sure all was in order and that he had enough time to take pictures of the Church. Everyone loved Charles and it was a pleasure working with him on our special day. Although I had a bad breakout before the wedding, Charles made sure to make me feel and look beautiful in my pictures. He was always communicative and I would love to work with him again! He is worth every penny and more! With all of the stress of wedding planning, this was at least one thing I didn’t have to worry about.

Charles is simply the best. He was the most professional yet down to earth person we have ever met. We absolutely loved getting to know him. His is unbelievably talented and truly loves what he does. He was an absolute blast and we are so happy. He was able to get us our photos back quickly and they look amazing. We definitely recommend Charles Merry!!

Charles was so great to work with. My wedding planner had recommended him and from first contact I knew he would be great for our big day. He met with us about a week before the wedding also just to talk about what our timeline looked like and if there were any shots we specifically wanted, was so helpful! Our family was so comfortable around him and are still talking about how great Charles was! Final photos were also presented in a super quick turn around time. Will definitely want to work with him again in the future!

Charles was the absolute best!!! Hire this guy he is professional, quick with a fun shot and personable. He is price quite fairly in my opinion and was an overall amazing person to work with. Very communicative. Thank you so much charles for capturing our day!! -Mike and Beth :)

Hands down the Absolute Best!!! We couldnt have asked for a better photographer! He seriously calmed my nerves the entire wedding session and made the entire wedding party so comfortable. Charles became family and his photography skills are some of the best ive ever seen!!!

Charles was amazing!!! He made the day a breeze. Made my husband love taking pictures ( he normally despises them ). He made sure I had everything I wanted and that I was happy ! He is so kind and helpful. I would recommend him to anyone !

Charles was the best photographer we could have ever imagined for our wedding!! His work is stunning!! He was easy going and knew how to pose us just right and made our special day even more special. I can’t thank him enough!

Wish I could give Charles 10 stars!! I can not express how grateful we are to him for making our wedding day so special by capturing so many lovely moments in a breath taking way. What an AMAZING photographer!! From day one he made planning our event so stress free by answering our many questions and giving us photo ideas. He was so open minded and excited about the unique photo ideas we brought to him as well. Each photo he took was better than we even dreamed!! He took SO SO many pictures (more than any other photographer we know of!) from our beautifully posed portraits to truly capturing candid moments of the day that my husband and I didn't even know about until afterwards. Charles went to infinity and beyond to make our fairy tale day so magical!! :) All our guests loved him instantly which made taking photos even more comfortable and exciting as he truly made each picture beautiful all while my wedding party was still able to be themselves. Charles and his team were personal, creative, detailed, thoughtful, attentive, and so much fun!! His work is a masterpiece and we are so thankful to him for being a trusted, reliable vendor on our big day. Much love to you, Charles!!

"We got Merried!" We are so happy to have found Charles for our special day. We traveled in from the northeast to elope in Charleston and wanted to have a professional capture the day. Charles made the day relaxed, special and fun. He has a great eye and knew all of the best spots around Charleston for those "money shots". We can't say enough good things about him - the whole day was a dream, and we are glad he was part of it. He was so easy to work with and stayed in touch leading up to the event and really worked with us. Highly highly recommend!

A massive thank you, Charles, you were great! I love the photos, thank you so much! Appreciated your patience and flexibility. Means so much that you worked with our out of the ordinary times and our seven children - took some major people skills! You fit right in and were in all the right places at the right moment. Your creativity and Imagination shined through our photos. Just wanted to say a huge, huge thank you to you for being fantastic on our wedding day! Thanks again for the photos! Brenda S

Love, Love, Love! Charles is a true master at his work. His professionalism, quality of work, and creativity are all top notch! He captured my wedding perfectly and I've never felt more beautiful! 10/10 Recommend! ❤

If you want the best photographer, hire Charles. Seriously y'all, he is just an amazing professional. He captured our wedding brilliantly and I adore just looking through my photos over and over again. He was in constant contact with me and discussed my needs and wants to ensure my day was going to be perfect and it was! He is so open minded to trying new things and it felt more like he was our guest rather than our photographer with his caring and humorous personality, he blended right in with our family and friends without missing a single moment of our wedding. We cannot thank him enough or show the appropriate amount of gratitude for the amazing quality work he provided for us and because of him, we will forever get to relive one of the best days of our lives.

Charles is incredible. He went above and beyond and he has fun through it all. The details that we didn’t think to capture he did and it all adds up to an amazing collection chronicling this moment in our lives. We couldn’t be happier with our stunning wedding photos. We are so lucky to have found Charles. Thank you!

We loved having Charles as our wedding photographer! He did an amazing job on the pictures, and he was so fun to work with. He made our wedding day extra special because of his easy going, fun personality!! He sent us a steady stream of pictures throughout the editing process as sneak peeks that we loved! Also, our photos are stunning!! We highly recommend Charles for any photography service! (Thank you, Charles!)

I need more stars! This is the second event Charles has done for our family. He produced a deluge of quality photos of our wedding that will be greatly cherished! Charles is so easy to work with. His eye for all the little things really blows my mind. I cannot wait to schedule our next family session.

Charles was super hands on with my engagement photos. I trusted his expertise and he pulled through 100%. Hire this man and you will not be disappointed.

5 stars doesn't do justice! Every picture he takes is breath taking! It's like time stood still during those very moments! And not only is he the best at what he does he has fun while doing and makes everyone feel so comfortable! I would recommend him to anyone! I can't say this enough he is literally the best!

Charles is the absolute BEST! He is incredibly talented and has an eye for creating those one of a kind shots. My now husband hates taking pictures. I was honestly kind of nervous on how it was going to go but Charles made him feel so comfortable and relaxed for our engagement photos that he was actually excited to take pictures for our wedding. I highly recommend CM Photography!!!

I would give 10 stars if I could! Chuck made us feel comfortable, ensured we were loving the shots, and was in general a blast to have at the wedding with us! He has a beautifully artistic eye to not just take pictures at your wedding of people, but to capture breathtaking photographs of your special moments in a unique and beautiful way.

Charles was wonderful! Always prompt on our correspondence and shared wonderful ideas on photo locations for our elopement. We are very happy with the photographs!

Our photo shoot at Hampton Park was an absolute pleasure. We are very impressed with how all the pictures turned out. His passion and professionalism is easy to see in the result. The personal consultation on the phone and in person was great. We are very grateful for everything, the pleasant intimate ceremony photo shoot, the great results and having captured our memories forever. We are looking forward to booking Charles for our "real" wedding and we strongly recommend him. Thank you so much!

Charles was the photographer at my sister's wedding and once my husband and I set our wedding date we knew we had to contact him to photograph our special day. Charles was such a pleasure to work with and so professional. We are soooo happy with the photos and had such a great time with him the whole day! We even had the chance to have a shoot with our dogs a few days later. LOVED everything about our experience...will definitely hire him again!

Charles is hands down phenomenal. We are still getting compliments two months later about how gorgeous our photos were. We had our wedding on a mountain during sunset which was challenging to shoot and Charles photos look effortless!!! He took his time and was very encouraging during the whole process. I don’t think anyone could compare to how our wedding photos turned out. Gained a life long friend and photographer!!

HANDS DOWN THE BEST! ♥️ When we got engaged we already knew we wanted Charles as our photographer because his photography style is truly one of a kind. Working with Charles was one of the best parts of our wedding. He went above and beyond to make sure everything went perfectly on our big day. So many of our guests were impressed with how hardworking, professional, & fun Charles is. And how he worked with the kids to get these amazing shots. We just got our photos last night and were flooded with emotions as every photo was phenomenal. We can’t wait to share them with family and friends! If you’re looking for a photographer, look no further... you have found the best! We would recommend him over and over again. And can’t wait to do more sessions soon!

Words can't express how awesome Charles Merry is to work with! We initially chose Charles, because his photography really stood out. He seemed to really capture so many perfect moments! First, he met us on one of the most humid day of the year to pull off an amazing engagement photoshoot! He made us feel very comfortable, and we knew that we had made the right choice for our wedding photographer. The day of the wedding, Charles (and his assistant!) worked unbelievably hard. We have thousands of pictures, so many of which are are so perfect. It was hard to pick which we should get framed! He worked against the sun setting to get in as many pictures as we could outdoors. Then, this man DID NOT stop running around until the very last moment the wedding ended! (Guests NOTED how hard he worked!) His turnaround time was quick, and months later, we are still in awe of how amazing the pictures came out. We wholeheartedly recommend Charles Merry for photographing the moments that you want to treasure forever!

Charles is handsdown THE BEST photographer! He went above and beyond my expectations. I highly recommend using him. He captured the most beautiful moments that my family and I will treasure forever!

Charles is the best! He did our engagement and wedding pictures and I’m so glad we had him to capture these moments!! He knows what he is doing and has such an eye for photography, he tells you exactly how to pose and there’s no questioning on what to do with yourself which i really liked. All of our pictures came out amazing and i would recommend him to anyone and if i has to do it over again i would hire him again! You won’t be disappointed! Thanks charles!!

Charles is the best to work with! His pictures are amazing! He is able to capture those ever so magical moments to cherish forever!

We absolutely love all the photos, they are incredible!! You have serious talent and we were so excited to see them all and re-live what was the best day of our lives. We are so happy with them. You have an incredible eye for a great shot! Definitely recommend!

Where do I start?? His photography skills are amazing, his attention to detail, his passion. I can’t begin to explain or even express how awesome Charles Merry is!! He is so incredibly funny, such a ease to work with, listens to what YOU want that’s important to me!!! The memories he captures are unbelievable, his vision is out of sight! I could go and on about his work! It speaks for its self. A picture is worth a TRILLION words when Charles is capturing them!!! Well done sir! Until our next adventure!!

Chuck did our engagement and Wedding photos. We are very pleased with the results. We enjoyed working with him— so easy to work with, always prompt, pleasant and professional.

Charles is just incredible. Wildly talented and SO much fun to work with. Leading up to the wedding day, Charles was always available to connect and listen and provide suggestions/recommendations. He took so much stress away and made every single aspect of our wedding planning and our experience on the day of a dream come true. Looking at the photos he captured on our wedding day makes me relive every single emotion I felt that day. He caught so much happiness and laughter and love in the most stunning way, we are forever thankful and grateful to have had Charles be a part of our wedding.

I can't even begin to say how amazing Charles is! We planned a small intimate wedding in less than a week and were so scared we would not find a photographer...not only was Charles able to do it but the pictures were better than I could have ever dreamed of! Such a friendly and fun guy to work with and captured all the right moments! Definitely will be using him in the future! A+++

Chuck was absolutely amazing...the five star max rating really doesn't do him justice! He photographed our engagement pictures and our wedding pictures and both sessions turned out great! He was incredibly easy to work with and made sure that we felt comfortable every step of the way. He was able to capture stunning pictures of everything from the standard group shots to really creative and unique moments. To say we are in love with all of the images would be an understatement! I really can't say enough about how awesome he was and I highly recommend him to everyone!!

We couldn't have handpicked a better photographer! Charles used his creative yet easy-going approach to chronicle a wedding day that we will never forget. He keeps it light, but manages to make some unbelievable pictures! Easily two thumbs up!

THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH STARS TO RATE!! CHARLES IS A 10+10!!! He worked with us for over a year from one side of the country to the other. He was accommodating and flexible, warm and funny, with his game face on. And he is a fan of any thing Disney!! So you know he has to have a super attitude to work with all kinds or clients. He is top notch with his craft. Artist extraordinaire!! It was written in the stars (and a little bit of Tinker Bell dust) to have a professional, well skilled photographer to capture our day. Well money spent!! THANK YOU CHARLES!!!! M&MG

We wanted to find a photographer that we "clicked" with, as we both feel very awkward in front of the camera and didn't want to spend our day uncomfortable. Charles put us at ease instantly. Not only are his shots fantastic, he is also hilarious and fun. He made sure he got all the shots that we wanted, had great pose suggestions that incorporated our environment and personalities, and has an amazing eye for natural light and settings (as our wedding was outdoors). Even during the reception, he had this uncanny ability to be right there for the perfect shot. By the end of the night we didn't feel like he was just our photographer, but rather another guest at our wedding. He did an amazing job and we highly recommend him!Can't wait to see the rest of our photos!

Charles was great. I wish that i would have paid for more time but the pictures were wonderful and there was a quick turnaround.

Best photographer ever! Every picture he took was fabulous!
