Simply amazing!

Charleton is amazing! We had a very small, sunrise elopement in Lake Tahoe that he photographed beautifully. It was FREEZING but he was so kind to make us feel comfortable and excited for the photoshoot. He really listened to us and went the extra mile to get some incredible shots of us and the gorgeous scenery. The pictures are INCREDIBLE. So epic. They were exactly what we wanted, and we've been sharing them far and wide. I can't recommend him enough. Thank you Charleton!

The best of the best!


Charleton is a magician at what he does! Before this day, my husband and I had never had professional photos taken. We felt like we would look unnatural and awkward, but Charleton made us feel comfortable and we had such a fun day with him!

If you are on the fence about spending your money with Charleton — GO FOR IT. His prices are extremely fair for the finished photos that you will receive. Your photos last forever, so you want them to be quality photos. As a detail-oriented girl, I hoped charleton would be detail-oriented, too. I quickly noticed he is veryyy detail-oriented. Ladies: he knows how to position your dress, he’ll tell you if you have a hair in your face, etc.

And he edits colors flawlessly. So many photographers these days edit photos to look “trendy” but in reality, they are just washed-out and boring. Charleton’s photos are vivid and timeless. Not only does he get your “good side,” he gets nature’s good side. Most photographers are either great at capturing nature or great at capturing people, but Charleton nails both. We are especially excited about the shots that are mostly of nature and we are tiny — they will be art in our home!

Now that I’ve written a novel… let me tell ya that I don’t ever write reviews (a 2024 resolution haha). But I was excited to write this one. Opening our photos felt like Christmas, and I want other couples to feel that same feeling when they see their photos. So I hope this review helped persuade you to send it with Charleton! You won’t regret it.

Thank you, Charleton. May God bless you and your business in the years to come.

We love Charleton! His photography and accolades speaks for itself but aside from all of that he's an amazing person and truly cares about his clients. He gives great attention to detail and he has an expert eye for what will look stellar on camera. Brides trust him, venues love him and we couldn't be happier to have him on our vendor team!
