us & the dog

especially given the circumstances and how much we had to reduce the size of it.

g and day of. For our engagement photos, she did such an amazing job of capturing special shots with our pups. She was always happy, helpful and caring, so it made it so nice and easy to work with her.

mpliments on the photos that were taken and how she captures the most perfect moments while incorporating the sentiment of the day as well. Myself and my family have been using Charlene for all of our photographic needs for the past 10 years and she never comes up short with impressing us! She also makes wedding group pictures a breeze and can bring any vision you have to life. Thank you again, Charlene! We'll be seeing you soon for our holiday pictures! :)

f the other vendors that were not as focused as her and I know that relieved the brides, knowing they didn’t have to worry about it. I wish I lived in Pittsburgh still because I would love for her to capture my wedding some day!

ight back on track. She has a great eye for catching amazing photographs. We really loved working with her and we love the work she’s done for us! <3

couldn’t see my wedding day being the same without her 😊

ridesmaids & groomsmen, bridal details, ceremony, families, and reception. We are beyond impressed with Charlene. In the months before our wedding, Charlene was friendly and thorough, asking us detailed questions about what photo combinations we wanted. She even shared with us a couple of options for our day-of timeline, based on her expertise as an experienced wedding photographer. Those timelines ended up being crucial to the logistics of our wedding weekend. Charlene's attention to detail gave us peace of mind leading up to our wedding day. She is also extremely focused and efficient with her actual photo-taking. She knows how to verbally direct people in a straightforward, respectful and patient way, to obtain maximally beautiful, natural shots. Charlene is a superb photographer, and we recommend her to everyone, especially for a high-stakes, important event like weddings! Thank you, Charlene.

tting amazing memories from our special day. Charlene and her assistant Chloe were so professional, flexible, and organized! We did our first look and family/wedding party photos before the ceremony, which was the best suggestion by Charlene! We were able to attend our cocktail hour and it made us feel at ease before the ceremony by already getting the pre-ceremony jitters out of the way. It was definitely the best option for us. We were so comfortable with Charlene and trusted all of her suggestions. They were like ninjas, I didn't even notice them during the evening, but they were always there for the right moments and captured beautiful shots! :) I highly recommend Charlene and will definitely be using her in the future. The way she captures every moment is truly amazing and breathtaking. Thanks again! :)

worked well with the bridal party and my family to accommodate the occasional schedule changes and took amazing shots of everyone as well as gorgeous detail photographs. Keeping in touch with her after the wedding via social media and email was super easy so that we could order prints as well as schedule a mini session of my own for my partner and myself. Charlene has become my go-to for head shots, couples/family pictures, and hopefully soon to be wedding photos of my own.

ble- not to mention the incredible pictures!

level of detail blew me away (at the first meeting she had a schedule of when the sunset would be on our big day)! Not a single beat was missed from start to finish! I trust her fully with everything and can’t wait to use her in the future to photograph our growing family!

and different times including graduation party pictures, senior pictures, and engagement picture!! 2. Her professionalism on the wedding day was phenomenal! She got through a very large checklist of photos I asked for and made sure they turned out great. She even went out of her way to help me find a slightly inebriated groom so that we could do one last night picture before she left. I would recommend her to anyone who doesn’t wanna have to worry about the photos and wants to have gorgeous professional pictures you can remember forever!

he downtown water front. She worked with us and our two puppies to get truly amazing engagement photos. For the wedding she was MARVELOUS. She was prompt, prepared, organized, and comforting. She really made the day easy, stress free, and fun. My wife and I are not people who get our photos taken often and Charlene made if feel easy and the photos turned out AMAZING! She was the greatest.

sional and was a big help in planning our day of timeline. For the most part, my husband and I are awkward-- especially when it comes to pictures, but we feel as if Charlene (and her lovely assistant) were able to capture the true us-- a lot of laughing and having fun, which was exactly what we wanted. She was able to deal with our large and LOUD Italian families, as well as our sometimes unruly, inebriated (but still fun) bridal party! :-) She stayed in control and most importantly kept us ON TIME and ahead of schedule. I could not have asked for a better photographer to capture our big moments in life so far, and truly look forward to using her in the future!!!

could actually smile for her for 8 hours! Charlene knocked it out of the park on all counts. She is a perfectionist behind the camera, but makes the actual shooting so fun--we were laughing at her silly humor. Even when we were running barefoot across a field of acorns, somehow she made us look happy instead of in pain! She knows exactly how to pose you in a way that looks natural and loving. Having so much experience is a huge bonus because she can help you navigate difficult shooting environments, family situations, you name it. Our wedding was small and informal with no MC or wedding planner, and she actually helped remind us of the time and keep everything on schedule. Charlene is obsessive about quality and she would never let herself produce sup-par photos...or even keep you waiting for a reply to your email! Oh, and she's gay-friendly too! We'll be looking at and loving her photos for years to come, and we could not recommend her more highly.

ing, with all of our wedding jitters that my husband and I both had, she was able to put our minds at ease. There was a chance of rain on our wedding day and Charlene continued to track the weather and prepare us for where we could take pictures instead if it did not work out. Not only were her photographs stunning and creative, but she was such a kind, light hearted person to have around on this very special day. She was much more than just a photographer!! I would highly recommend her :)

spectacular shots. Being an amateur photography with some very expensive equipment I tend to be a little more critical than the average person. But after seeing the results of Charlene’s work I knew we were in good hands. Once again, she did not disappoint. I was delighted with the variety of shots and the professionalism that she displayed during the wedding and reception. Charlene asked us if we had any special request, and all I asked is that she get the family shots on both sides. But the one photo that she capture is the one that I will always remember. That moment in time that the Bride & Groom simultaneously tossed 2 large spears into the air at a large target. That shot was very fitting and seemed to indicate that these 2 are meant for each other. Thanks for capturing that moment, and all of the other more traditional wedding shots. Jim Pierce, Father of the Bride.

nted, and photos went seemlessly. She captured all of our special moments and had our gallery back to us quickly. We’re in love with every photo!

hotos and for my business. She's responsive, creative and professional. I would highly recommend her!

pictures, she made that seem effortlessly. I believe she is very organized because she knows what to expect and what pictures she is taking because she takes the time to understand the couple. The wedding pictures are amazing and very difficult to decide because they were ALL fabulous.

ed to have the quality photos, but she helped ease the stress by giving us details and answering all our questions well in advance.

r engagement session and our wedding...and we have ZERO REGRETS about that decision. Our photos are STUNNING and I cry every time I look at them. Charlene takes the time to make every job she has a personal experience and really takes the extra steps to connect with the bride and the groom. Her attention to detail with plans and timelines ensure that you get every photo you want, and then some! Not only are her photos fantastic, but her customer service is also phenomenal. She makes herself readily available to all of her brides (Seriously...always a call or text that never went unanswered!) and offers the best photo advice that I have ever heard. When I had to reschedule our engagement session less than a week before because of an injury from coaching soccer, she made sure that we had plenty of options that worked for us and for our venue, even if it meant rearranging her own schedule. I have watched brides wait months upon months to receive their wedding photos and knew that I did not want that to be me. We had our photos back within a few weeks. She works tirelessly to edit your photos and get them back to you so you can enjoy them as soon as possible..and shares sneak peeks along the way! I cannot recommend her enough. You won't be disappointed in any area of her business. We are coming up on our one-year anniversary and I am still in awe of our photos and how beautifully she captured not only our day, but us as a couple and our families. Our pictures will forever be one of our most cherished memories.

ure to have a specific schedule timed out to ensure we captured everything we wanted! I will definitely have Charlene as my photographer for future events!

exactly as needed. She goes above and beyond to make sure you have a great experience. Her attention to detail and organization skills are apparent from the very first interaction. Charlene delivers beautiful images that capture the emotion of the day! We were so lucky to have Charlene (& her assistant Chloe) as our photographers!

ts and did such a great job with all of the small details of our wedding day.

engagement session and was a constant calm during my wedding day. Her work is stunning. I highly recommend her. I will be a lifelong customer.

ride and groom's personalities perfectly.

stination bride, I found the photographers within our wedding location to be over priced and under experienced. I turned to Charlene for guidance and together we came up with the perfect solution! She traveled to southern Florida to photograph our big day and stayed an extra day to capture our "trash the dress" dream photos! I had the best time working with Charlene! She was fun, professional, and gave me such confidence while we were shooting. My family and friends all loved her, as well! What's better than all of that?! My photos were all ready for viewing within 2 weeks!! I would absolutely recommend Charlene to anyone looking for a photographer, no matter what the need!

yond her caring personality concerning us and documenting our wedding ceremony, we also loved that Charlene loves dogs, just like we do! I highly recommend this lovely lady.

You can tell she loves what she does, and our family can’t stop taking about the beautiful images she captured at our wedding. We had an atypical ceremony and reception - but Charlene got all of the shots we had hoped for and more (including a surprise bridal budoir album as a gift / “sneak peek” for my husband the morning of our wedding).

several wedding parties, I truly appreciate how good Charlene is at what she does! She is organized, prompt and communicates well. She is very sweet and puts you at ease. Our photos came out stunning! I would highly recommend her.

! The images she captured were amazing and magical. Charlene is extremely professional and incredibly talented... but beyond that she makes you feel so comfortable and at ease! We couldn't have asked for a better experience or photographer! I would recommend her to anyone getting married. She is prepared for anything and everything and really made our day perfect. You spend half your day with your photographer and Charlene was amazing, supportive, and gave great direction! I would 100% hire her all over again!

ul photos and memories of the day and is pleasure to work with. She has been there family photographer before and it was no surprise they chose her to capture their wedding day! Highly recommend.

s and there is no doubt we will be using her again in the future.

tting his photo taken. I will cherish the photos she took from our engagement session and our wedding forever! Beyond just taking great pictures, Charlene is a wonderful woman to work with. She makes the entire group relaxed and really helps to get great candid and posed photographs. Plus her dog is super adorable.

photographer. I'm incredibly picky and she was so very accommodating to all of my requests. Love all of my photos!

r day run so smoothly - all of our guests talked about how they didn't even notice her snapping pictures throughout the night. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer for your big day!! You won't be disappointed!! :)

, professional, and experienced, she exceeded every expectation. I would definitely recommend her to other brides. I am forever grateful to her for documenting the best day of our lives!!! <3

tial feeling about her and decided that she was going to be our photographer. During the wedding, she was professional and had a fantastic eye for getting the shots that captured all of the emotions and love. I would not hesitate to recommend her to my closest friends and family members.

itself...STUNNING! I wanted glam and she gave me just that.
