The best - everything you could ask for

Charly is simply the best. Not only is she the loveliest person on the planet, she is a fantastic photographer. On the day, she was a super calm and positive presence and it was a joy to have her there. The photos she has given us had us in tears, she really captured the spirit of the day. I'm gutted that the wedding is over because now I don't have an excuse to see Charly again! Charly - thank you so much for some truly beautiful photos - we honestly cannot thank you enough. If you are still looking for a photographer please look no further - especially if you are nervous being in front of a camera. Charly makes you feel totally comfortable - she is your gal!

Must have wedding photographer!

Thank you so much Charly for capturing our wedding day, all of the photos really reflect what an amazing day we had. Also, thank you for taking on the challenging photo in the tower, it is one of my favourite pictures and really reflects how great a photographer you are as the lighting was less than ideal.

We would 100% recommend Charly as she was so friendly and put everyone at ease and we truly think this shows in the photos. Having to move the wedding twice Charly was very helpful and accommodating which made what was a very stressful time a lot simpler.

When our photos arrived, the presentation of the USB was absolutely stunning.

Highly recommend

Brilliant wedding photographer

Charly (and Shona) did the photos for our wedding in September 2020. She was absolutely brilliant to work with, so friendly and relaxed and accommodating of last minute changes due to Covid-19! And doing the engagement shoot was a brilliant way to get to know Charly and feel more comfortable on the day.
The photos are amazing and perfectly captured the magic of our day - it's been so nice to re-live it and share it with friends and family who unfortunately couldn't be there on the day itself due to the restrictions! The hardest part has been picking our favourites!
We'd thoroughly recommend Charly!

Amazing, amazing, amazing!

We had heard from our friends that choosing a photographer was a minefield but having come across Charly we were taken aback by the way she captured moments in the photos in her portfolio and were really pleased with her package options.

However, it was without a doubt the calm, friendly and professional approach we saw when we met with Charly which made us choose her.

Charly was excellent at communicating throughout including in the run up to the engagement shoot, before the wedding and since the wedding. Charly always answered our questions quickly and it never felt we were too much of a bother.

We’d really recommend an engagement shoot as that helped us to get used to the camera, get to know Charly and helped us to know what pictures we’d like on the wedding day.

Charley had a second photographer, Dale, with her on the day. Dale was equally fantastic and between them they caught all of the perfect moments throughout the day.

Other than when was needed (to organise people for the group photos!) we didn’t notice Charly at all on our day which is the biggest compliment we can give. We never felt the camera was shoved into our face or that Charly got in the way of special moments throughout the day.

We received our photos afterwards within weeks and the album shortly after and we are obsessed with them! She captured every moment of the perfectly and now we have the photos to cherish forever.

Overall, we’d give Charly, 10/10 in every way and highly recommend her to others- she will not disappoint!

Wonderful NYE wedding and engagement shoot

Right from the start Charly was so friendly and professional she put us right at ease at our complementary engagement shoot. My partner in particular can be quite shy but she was considerate and thoughtful, and made it a really enjoyable experience so we knew she was the one for our big day. She even encouraged us to bring our dog along and we got some fantastic shots!

On the day, charly was spot on - arrived early but kept out of the way and her and her assistant photographer were happy to find their at around the venue taking preliminary pics. The ceremony, reception and wedding breakfast shots were stunning - Charly takes pride in being unassuming to get those perfect candid shots. They were both so friendly and professional, a lot of our guests commented as such.

The posed family and friends shots were also wonderful without being too long, and the couples shots are perfect, a lovely mix of different poses, scenery, close ups etc. charly was even able to edit a few pics with eyes closed which I was so impressed with and saved some photos which wouldn’t have been useable otherwise.

I would definitely recommend the premium package, excellent value for money and we have a beautifully packaged usb stick and beyond beautiful wedding book as well as a link to all the pictures that we can share with friends.

10/10 so glad we went with Charly.

Just Perfect

So thankful we found Charly to be our wedding photographer! For a couple that don’t particularly like our photo being taken, she made us feel so relaxed and comfortable throughout the day with no awkward posing! Thank you Charly for capturing our wedding exactly how we wanted it to be captured x

Incredible

Charly photographed our wedding at Skylark in September and was absolutely amazing throughout the whole process, all the way from booking to the final delivery of the photos. She was so fun and relaxed and so easy to work with, which made it so much better. The package she provided was incredible and the level of service is second to none. I cannot recommend Charly highly enough!

Charly is amazing!

We can’t recommend Charly enough! Charly took the photos at our wedding on Saturday 10th July 2021. Charly is so lovely and very professional. Our wedding photos are just stunning and capture our day perfectly. Charly makes you feel so relaxed having your photo taken and we have a lovely mix of photos. We have been lucky enough to work with Charly on a number of occasions over the past couple of years, so we can’t recommend her enough. We now have the very difficult choice to make about which photos to get printed because they are all fananstic. Thank you Charly.

Wedding photos

Met Charly on our engagement shoot for the first time immediately made us feel comfortable and neither of us enjoy having our photos taken. The results of the day were amazing and actually made us excited for our wedding day photos. Wedding day photos started early Charly was friendly professional and patient throughout the day we hardly knew she was there. She captured some amazing shoots and exceeded our expectations, she was a joy to have part of our special day. Had photos through perfect timing and results were spot on and of high quality a perfect way of recording our day, would not have wanted anyone else and would highly recommend.

Highly recommended: Professional and talented wedding photographer

We absolutely loved the photos which Charly took on our wedding as well as during the free engagement shooting prior to booking her. She is working really professionally and creates a relaxed atmosphere in which we could really enjoy ourselves while taking the photos. The results are beautiful, natural photos - a good mix between the traditional couple photos as well as snapshots of special moments. She was always ready to take on our ideas. She is polite and friendly, and it was therefore quite relaxing to have her around when getting ready with the girls. The feedback from our guests was equally good. The same counts for the second photographer, Nicky, who Charly had organised to work with on the day. Charly sent us all the photos quickly and we are so thrilled with the results! Book her! You won't regret it!

Charly was photographer at our wedding at Lainston House near Winchester in May. She did a great job, taking fantastic photos while remaining completely unobtrusive. The engagement shoot was lovely too. Clare and I would highly recommend Charly.
