Telling your story
one photograph at a time.

Your love story is unique to your relationship – and we believe your wedding photos should be no different! Life is full of fleeting moments and we are here to let you take a seat and enjoy them while trusting us to document the most incredible time of your lives.

Here’s the truth: you have tons of options when it comes to choosing someone to photograph your wedding. You have different price points, different styles, different personalities, different levels of experience, and all the other stuff that makes every photographer different. Anyone with a camera can click photos of your wedding day, sure. What I have always specialized in is the smaller moments. The moments in between that if you blink you’ll miss. When you get your gallery back from me I want you to feel like you are transported back in time and reliving your wedding day over and over.

Our mission

I photograph to tell your story rather than to capture the most Instagram-worthy photos. I want the real stuff – the stuff that’ll make you laugh till your cheeks hurt and will make your heart beat faster. I want to photograph the things that make you who you are, and the things that make your love unique. Because there are only so many angles, poses and pretty locations, and they’ve all been done before – but what makes each photo special is the memories attached to it, and my goal is to make those unique to you!

What if your wedding feels as good as the love that lead you to it?

When you look back on your wedding photos, you should see the story that started it all. Tell us your story and we will recreate it in photographs to show the world. Our mission as your Arizona Wedding Photographer is to create an experience for our couples so incredible that you’ll want to relive the night over and over again. We photograph to show your love story in a way that words never could and to take photos that help our couples remember every touch, kiss and moment of their wedding days.

Here’s what it’s like to work with us

Charlotte is the calm you need on the most important day of your life. She is creative and she is patient and there is nothing she won’t do for her couples. Not only is her unique, emotive style timeless, but she is collaborative and knows exactly where to be to capture all the most important moments of your wedding day — even moments you’ll only remember because she captured them. Even after your wedding day, she’ll find ways to show her appreciation and thoughtfulness to her couples! We adore Charlotte, our friends and family adore her, and her energy and groundedness completely shaped our whole day. Thank you forever, Charlotte! You are a treasure, and so are the moments you’ve captured for us.-Cailey H.

I honestly don’t know where to start, but if you’re still looking for a wedding photographer, look no further, just book her now! My husband and I live in California and wanted to take our engagement photos in AZ. We wanted to have them taken at Antelope Canyon/Horseshoe bend, and we literally looked at the hashtag #antelopecanyon on IG, found a beautiful photo of a couple, and that’s how we found Charlotte. Booking her, communication, and working with her was effortless. It was like having a close friend photograph you. We spoke in between shooting like we were just catching up. Originally we planned to only have her shoot our engagement photos since we would be getting married in CA, but after we got our photos back and realized how amazing she was to work with, she was now on our priority list as far as wedding necessities. Charlotte was my wedding day calm, she was organized, and I didn’t have to think about anything as far as photos! If you’re reading this review I’m sure you’ve already looked at her photos and have seen how truly talented she is, so I don’t feel like anything I have to say could make you realize that any more, but what I will say is her photos are not just pictures, when you look at them they take you back to the moment they happened. They are dreamlike and exactly how I how I wanted to remember my wedding day. They are the perfect combination of candid and posed. She captured all the little details I obsessed over while wedding planning; she captured them exactly how I envisioned. She captured moments between guest, laughing, and things I didn’t even know I wanted until now. The gift she gave me is something that’s hard to put into words, and is something I will cherish always. I couldn’t have received a more meaningful gift.-Katie M.

Charlotte is the photographer that every bride NEEDS on her wedding day, she kept her cool and kept everyone in line to do her job effectively and professionally to deliver perfection.But first, engagement photos! Charlotte did our engagement photo shoot and I was so nervous I was shaking, I am an introvert x100 and I have NEVER been comfortable in front of a camera but as soon as we started, I wasn’t nervous at all. Charlotte wasn’t barking orders or poses at us, it literally felt like my fiance and I were just hanging out with friends having a good time. We got SO many compliments on our engagement photos, and people even said they should be used for a whiskey ad campaign.

Now the wedding!
My wedding day was a bit of a mess because it rained ALL day and we had an outdoor ceremony. Charlotte showed up right on time and quickly put my panic to rest telling me that even if it rained all through the ceremony and the reception, we would get AWESOME pictures, and she was right.
The survey she sent out before the wedding had great questions about what we wanted her to focus on on the big day and she delivered 100% on the requests we made in that survey and then some.
It did end up raining all through our ceremony and for the family pictures afterwards so we had to change the location for family photos and do them under cover at the back of the venue and Charlotte never missed a beat, she kept my wandering family (with about 30 kids) in line and got AMAZING photos of everyone.
When our photos were finished (in great time btw) she delivered a surprise gift to us as well which is such a lovely reminder of our wedding and one of our favorite photos she took.
Charlotte wasn’t just one of our “vendors” working at our wedding, it felt like having a friend there to capture our most special moments and we are so thankful that we made the choice to work with her.

Charlotte is literally the BEST. She cares so much about her couples and goes out of her way to make you feel special! She is extremely knowledgeable, experienced, professional, laid back, kind, and is definitely the right person if you’re constantly saying “I don’t know what to do with my hands!” in photos like I do. Your photos will look and feel natural because Charlotte knows exactly how to direct you and make you feel comfortable. I could not be happier with how our photos came out and I will always highly recommend Charlotte!!! ♥️♥️♥️- Jenna L.
