"Charles photographed our small intimate wedding and we couldn't be happier with the results. He was very professional and not intrusive. We felt very comfortable in front of the camera and we aren't very photogenic people!! Photos were returned to us in a very timely manner and sneak peeks were sent over same day. Very pleased thanks again Charles!"

"Our wedding day didn’t quite go as planned but thanks to Charles, it still turned out beautifully. Our original photographer sadly had to leave during the day due to a serious family emergency involving her child. It was heartbreaking and we completely understood, but with so much of the day still to come, we were worried we wouldn’t have the rest of it captured. He wasn’t even meant to be there. He got the call, packed his kit, and travelled over on short notice to take over. He arrived calm, professional, and ready to go. Within minutes, he’d introduced himself, understood the vibe of the day, and just blended in like he’d been part of it from the start. From our first dance with sparkles to the candid moments with family and our little one, Charles captured it all. The photos are full of feeling, laughter, and love, exactly what we were hoping for, despite the unexpected twist in the day. We’re so grateful he was able to step in. He really saved the day."

'What wonderful, natural beautiful pictures I had from Charles. My husband and myself are not the easiest to deal with when it comes to time and organisation. Charles got used to early on haha. The pictures are amazing and the moments he caught are unforgettable.'

"Charles photographed our wedding, his first one and he absolutely smashed it! We trusted him because we knew he had talent, but he went even further than we expected.


From the moment he arrived, he was calm, organised, and genuinely great to have around. No awkward posing, no pressure, he just blended in, spotted the good moments before they happened, and captured everything naturally. You’d honestly think he’d been shooting weddings for years.


The photos are brilliant. Real, relaxed, and full of those blink-and-you-miss-it moments that mean the most. He caught things we didn’t even know happened until we saw the pictures.


For a first wedding, Charles didn’t just do well,  he delivered like someone who really cares about his work and the people he’s shooting for. We’re genuinely glad we trusted him. If you’re thinking of booking him, do it. He’s talented, reliable, and just genuinely good to have around on such a big day."

"Charles made our wedding feel effortless, captured every moment beautifully, and even jumped in to help top up our champagne glasses when things got hectic; he’s warm, genuine, incredibly talented, and we’d recommend him to anyone who wants photos that truly feel like their day.”
