Love Charm Photo

. They will do whatever to get the shots!! 1000/10 recommend.

my girl through and through, we grew a relationship and bonded over motherhood. She took AMAZING family and maternity photos for us as part of our engagement session and the wedding photos are out of this world!!! She really knows how to take advantage of the light and what she does with the photos on the editing side is magic! I'm a very natural kind of chick and these photos cater to my desires and beyond. I HIGHLY recommend hiring Love Charm Photo and paying for their extra packages!! You cannot beat the quality and value these folks offer (so many photographers around the area are way too expensive) and their kindness to boot! I will definitely be hiring them for any and all photograph needs in the future!

he entire process as they worked to ensure we were able to communicate the things that were important to us. They make a great team together and gave helpful and clear directions and made us feel comfortable throughout the process. We were especially excited to see many moments from the reception captured, showcasing the fun times our guests enjoyed. Having engagement photos included in the package was a great perk. Thank you, Richie and Alie!

they have competitive prices. The photos they took were perfect, and we will gladly recommend them to anyone else who is looking for a photographer.

n how to pose and made us feel so comfortable. Having Love Charm Photo as our photographer really made our day perfectly memorable. We cannot thank you enough!

and beyond on both engagement photo sessions and the wedding day, making sure to capture every moment! They exceeded my expectations of photographers and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone for their wedding day!!

ay is the best of their lives, which was intimidating to hear, but Alie and Richie helped make that possible for us. It was the best. day. ever. They contributed immensely to the love in the room and helped capture the fun and warmth beautifully. They were flexible and kind. They laughed with us when a bird pooped on my dress and assured me it was great luck :) And they helped us so swiftly remedy the drama and make it a hilarious memory. We will forever look back at our pictures with gratitude. As more time passes after wedding day, I have no fear of losing our “wedding high,” or the feeling we had in the moment. This is all thanks to Alie and Richie. We love you both!

ichie and Alie from a friend and saw their photos, I knew we had found the best. Richie and Alie are truly the best wedding photographers we know!! Our wedding album turned out absolutely beautiful. They exceeded our expectations! The two of them work so well together and are a blast to be around. They made us feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera, and were constantly there throughout our day to help as problems or stress arose. They truly went the extra mile for us and we could tell they cared not only about the photos, but about us and our loved ones two. Looking through our album brings back so many memories from that day, and shows sweet moments that we totally missed! Thank you Richie and Alie for capturing our special days in such a real, beautiful way!! We would recommend them to everyone!

sband and I could not have been more blessed to work with Love Charm Photography for our wedding at Swan Point Country and Yacht Club! They know the venue very well and cheerfully organized our first look to be a magical experience by the water. Both Richie and Alie are very sweet and helped me with last minute details to help me look my best in camera. I highly recommend Love Charm not only for their positive attitude but their experience in photographing huge families and guests who love to dance. I can't wait to remember the memories of our wedding day with the beautiful images they both captured <3

to capture every moment we wanted. He was gentle with our guests but thorough enough to make sure no detail was missed. Our guests even talked about how much they loved him after the event and in the weeks to follow. The photos are beautiful and we are so happy with the choice of using them as our vendor!

so comfortable when taking pictures, and are able to come up with visions that I would have never thought of! We are so lucky to have had them capture the most important day of our lives! We highly recommend them to capture your wedding day and special events!

ients and guests. Their knowledge of the perfect background, lighting and poses create priceless memories. We love working with them and recommend Love Charm to anyone searching for sensational photos.

as amazing at keeping everyone on track during our wedding and making sure we got all the shots we wanted. I could not be any happier with my experience working with them and would absolutely recommend them to everyone I know.

aging and got some beautiful unexpected photos for us. At our wedding we had the pleasure of both Alie and Richie. Alie I know was responsible for some of the most stunning detail photos and Richie once again pulled off some spectacular photos of me and my husband. To top it off many of our guests told us how nice our photographers were. I would recommend these two a hundred times over. I know I want to work with them again

omodating photographers I have ever come across. They were beyond gracious at every step of the planning process. They were extremely thorough in helping us make arrangements in the weeks leading up to the shoot. The cherry blossoms season is notoriously difficult to predict and the quality of the photos is highly dependent on the weather and this is something that Alie and Richie were well atuned to. I had been obsessively checking the weather forecast in the days following "peak bloom," and although we had been planning to come to DC on Friday night for a Saturday morning session, the forecast made it apparent that the weather and lighting would be far better on Friday morning. We brought this to Alie and Richie's attention and asked if we could change the date of our session with less than 24 hours notice. We've worked with other photographers in the past and we've found most to be inflexible and so we expected our request to be a long shot. We were pleasantly surprised when Alie and Richie promptly messaged us back letting us know they were willing to move the shoot up on extremely short notice and even went as far as to contact the NPS to mage the necessary arrangements. At the tidal basin, Richie was extremely thorough in capturing an immense number of photos at many different sites. He masterfully posed us and the shoot was very enjoyable in and of itself, thanks to Richie. Once we received the photos back we were beyond impressed. They turned out beautifully and we are tremendously grateful to Alie and Richie for their attention to detail in delivering a final product that we were overwhelmingly in love with. To sum this all up, Alie and Richie are incredible photographers, fantastic editors, and lovely people. Our already high expectations of the final results of the photos and their professionalism were greatly exceeded. We are beyond happy with our choice to hire them and we are sure that you will be too. Thanks so much Alie and Richie!!!!

and the amazing work they did for our wedding photography- my husband and I each have one of our photos as our phone screensavers and it makes us remember how amazing that day was. Our wedding day was perfect, and we can confidently say that a lot of that was due to Allie & Richie’s incredible organization and support. Since we first got in touch with them for quotes back when we were looking to do our engagement photoshoot, we knew they were the top choice- it was a no brainer. From the first call we had with them, they made us feel confident they were professional and reliable. My husband does photography as well so he had a lot of questions that Love Charm made him feel reassured about - and let me tell you, they absolutely delivered above and beyond for all the work we did with them! We cannot say enough great things about them to others who ask us about our photos. Our engagement photoshoot was so smooth and fun with Allie and Richie. Even though it rained in DC the day of, Allie came prepared with lovely clear/photo-appropriate umbrellas for us to use and she and Richie got some really creative pics we love! We had a long timeline between our engagement and our wedding (about a year in between) and throughout that time, even with the pandemic going on, Allie and Richie did an amazing job of checking in with us and as we got closer to the wedding date, Allie was super helpful in putting together a timeline for the day of, which was a lifesaver since we didn’t have a wedding planner. Allie created a schedule down to the 15 minute mark for the day of and she and Richie kept our group so on time for everything, and without making anyone feel any stress at all! We got incredible photos from them for our wedding day too. We LOVE all the pics, and you can tell that the others in the photos are also so happy because Allie and Richie do a great job of making everyone feel special, ensuring everyone looked good, and they’re also just so fun to work with, they ensure everyone’s having a great time and so all the photos came out great with all kinds of genuine emotion showing. You can tell Allie and Richie do this professionally and are truly invested in their work. They have thought of it all and are beyond prepared, dependable, easygoing and fun! While they are both extremely talented photographers, it is clear Allie and Richie each also have their unique strengths and they make an amazing team. I cannot say enough about Allie’s organization, communication and ability to stage/set up particular poses- she’s so on top of it all, and Richie clearly has a unique eye and raw talent for capturing picture-perfect moments. Love Charm absolutely did an amazing job, even our friends and family kept raving about them the day of because they were such a pleasure to work with, and everyone raved even more once they saw the final photos! We loved every aspect of working with Allie and Richie and have already recommended them to others and will continue to do so because we know 100% that Love Charm is the wedding photographer team people will love for their special day. Without a doubt, my husband and I would want to work with Allie and Richie again for future photography needs and hope others can get to also see how lovely this photography team is! Thank you Love Charm!

lways felt comfortable working with them and confident that they would be able to capture our vision. The entire Love Charm Photo team works so well together and I HIGHLY recommend them for any photography services you need.

ly.' We couldn't have chosen better. First, we used them for our engagement photo session. Neither my (now) husband nor I knew what to expect; we're not big picture people. But with these two, we didn't have to be. They made us feel very comfortable, were extremely down to earth, and posed us in a million different scenes at the location. This meant that there were a ton of pictures to choose from and honestly, they were all beautiful. Come wedding day, the team split up so that one of them could stay with me and my bridesmaids while the other could photograph the guys. Outside of the posed pictures with the wedding party and family, it was almost like they were invisible. It wasn't until they sent us the 1700 final photos that I realized that Love Charm had captured EVERY LITTLE MOMENT; I mean there were close-ups of us during the ceremony and dancing and eating dinner that I hadn't even REALIZED had been photographed. They were that incognito. I'm so happy that they were a part of our special day and i'd use them a thousand times more for any special life event.

sband, and most recently for Valentine’s Day of my toddler! They never disappoint and while they usually focus on weddings their talents are endless! They are creative and willing to work with anyone, even a toddler who refuses to sit still 😊

n and easy! They have a really good eye for capturing the most beautiful moments. We couldn't imagine having any other photographers for our wedding. They worked really well with our guests and the event staff and made sure we got all the photos we wanted. We definitely recommend them for any of your photography needs.

ays recommend them to others couples!! I can’t wait to to share more family moments with them in the future!!

ative so some shots you try are unexpected but come out dreamy. We can’t recommend them enough!

rnaround time for the photos was quick.

eally flexible when everything was uncertain during the early days of pandemic, and even did a "virtual" photoshoot with us for engagement pictures! We eventually did a full engagement session before the session, and all the photos were lovely! They got us photos with quick turn around, and were very communicative throughout the whole process and we knew exactly what to expect—which went a long way to calming our nerves. At all sessions and (most importantly on our wedding day), they made us feel very comfortable. We’re not super natural in front of a camera, but Richie, Alie, and Joy were so easy to work with and the photos show it! They let us know a few months before our wedding day that Alie would be unable to shoot our wedding, and on the day of our wedding it was shot by Richie and Joy, who was just a delight! We’d recommend Love Charm to anyone looking for a photographer.

e great about quickly getting back to us and walking us step by step through the process. My fiancé and I didn't really know what we wanted our engagement photos to look like, but Richie & Alie made a point to talk us through everything and our pictures turned out better than we could've imagined. Even including the days leading up when we were worried about the weather affecting our pictures Alie was immediately accessible and flexible to walk us through our options. Our friends and family raved about how comfortable we looked in front of the camera and that's all due to Richie & Alie.

quickly, answering all questions and completing the contract. The day of the event, we relied on Richie to “stage” our shots and direct everyone on what needed to be done to have beautiful photos. He was unobtrusive during the event and worked in concert with the videographer. The result – amazing pictures that effortlessly captured the intimacy and love of our marriage day. And we had fun, no stress, all the smiles were genuine! The pictures themselves are beautiful, and a true heirloom for our families. Thank you Alie and Richie, for an A+ job!

ever imagined!

line of what our wedding day photos would happen, which allowed us to plan accordingly. They also took all the photos that we requested and didn’t miss anything. They captured the love between me and my husband with out family and friends better than we expected. My wedding day was perfect, even if COVID changed our original plans. Love Charm Photo captured the best day of our lives and we are so happy we worked with them! Highly recommend!!!

They are both wonderful to work with, very professional, and they produce great quality photos. Even with the pandemic, they made sure that our photo sessions were safe and comfortable for everyone. Love Charm has been with us for all of our major milestones as a couple and we are looking forward to many more! We cannot thank them enough for everything!

aced than with Alie and Richie! Even in the COVID era, they were authentic, adaptable, and professional, but personal. We could not have asked for a better experience or final product and are elated that we decided to go with Love Charm!

m to photograph our day. They make an amazing team and really knew how to capture the love between my husband and I. They also managed to successfully work through some very harsh sun that day and made quick adjustments as necessary. Please consider hiring them! They are passionate about photography and what it means to the their clients. They were quick to communicate, encouraged a phone call conversation to go over details, and are active on social media.

lie and Richie are truly amazing! We originally had our wedding in California and a month before found out we couldn't have due to the pandemic. So we scrambled to move the wedding here in Southern Maryland in less than a month. So glad we called Love Charm Photo and from the first conversation we knew that we wanted to go with them. They were very professional and communication is amazing. They perfectly captured our wedding day and were so easy to work with! They also go above and beyond and capture your day in a unique way that will be different from others. We captured some photos that I have never seen with other photographers. Will be using them in the future and referring them to our clients.

comfortable in front of the camera. They both were so kind and professional. I will recommend them to anyone on the DMV area. Thank you for giving us amazing pictures that will last a lifetime :)

e for their positive energy, amazing gallery of photos, and care in making our COVID elopement feel like our dream wedding. At a loss about our crumbling plans for our big day back in April, 2020, we found Alie and Richie's inviting website in the hopes of planning an elopement for July. Alie and Richie were open about their COVID policies (which are great and very fair for the client) and were flexible to meet our budget. Within the first few minutes of our consultation, we were determined to hire them! On the day of the wedding, this dynamic duo powered through the July heat with professionalism, positivity, and pure joy! They worked seamlessly with our videographers and communicated like clock-work with them. As a result, our photos and video show cohesion throughout the day. The full gallery was delivered around a month post-wedding, which is speedy for the wedding industry! Our gallery contained SO many more pictures than we were promised and a wonderful array of photojournalistic and posed photos! We were left speechless at the quality, quantity, and energy that they captured. They even posted the highlights of our day on their blog, which was easy to share with family and friends (and also make us feel like low-key celebrities). I cannot recommend Alie and Richie enough. They were integral in raising our spirits about our COVID-elopement and were the ideal team to hire for our wedding! They captured everything that we wanted and tons more that we didn't know that we needed, too!

ended into our family and were so comfortable and accommodating to all. Our interaction was so "familiar" that my mother asked, "How long have you known your photographer friends?" Alie and Richie knew the area and expeditiously (much appreciated in the freezing temps!) created scenes that they knew would be powerful and memorable! Love Charm, you became a significant part of our day... the highest recommendation to anyone who needs to someone who will capture an important life event with the care and attention of a family member!

a nice talk with Alie over the phone, regarding the location, photo style, timing, etc., At the appointment day, Richie showed up really on time, and gave us tons of instructions, and also reviewed the example photos of what we sent before. The photos turn out pretty and natural, with some are in a very artist way. Richie is passionate about taking photos. It is fun to have Richie taking photos for us. Obviously, Richie has been taking photos in DC for a long time, and is pretty familiar with DC locations.

-earth and easy-going nature. Alie was quick to communicate and guide us at all steps of the way. At our wedding, they were the perfect team - their photographing was discreet, yet they never missed a shot. We received our pictures only a month after the wedding and they were better than we could have imagined! We are so grateful for their detailed work and artistic vision that will help us remember our wedding in the most joyful way for years to come.

n the morning of! The wedding day was so wonderfully smooth - we captured some beautiful shots for my first look with my dad and then again with my husband. We split the wedding up into our actual wedding day, and then had a huge party the night after, where both Alie and Richie worked with me on the timeline and the flow of the night. They were very easy to work with and allowed us to be ourselves throughout both days. Cannot thank Love Charm Photo enough!

and were able to pickup on what we wanted right from our description and everything. The work they did took a lot of stress and additional work and concerns off of our shoulders. Definitely recommend them.

the entire process. And let me just tell you how easy it was to work with them! My husband and I had a somewhat last-minute courthouse wedding and I had reached out to Alie and Richie maybe 2 months beforehand. They made everything so easy and smooth (and they were seriously lifesavers!) Plus they were so helpful and flexible with the submitting of the payment and setting everything up. And on the actual day, my husband and I had so much fun with Richie! It did not feel uncomfortable at all. And from what I can tell from the sneak peeks that I have received, the photos are AMAZING! Seriously couldn't be happier. 10/10 would DEFINITELY recommend them to everyone else!

elt like they were just apart of our group! Love them and all their beautiful work!!

are and attention to detail were truly amazing. Neither my wife nor I are super comfortable in front of a camera, so we were nervous about being the center of attention all day as it was. Not only did Alie and Richie fulfill all of our photo requests, they made us feel so comfortable while beautifully documenting our day.

very angle for every picture! They captured every moment of the day and now I have beautiful pictures to relive the day forever!
