    Charles did our engagement and wedding photos and we have received many compliments on both sets of photographs. He has a great eye for setting up photos with fantastic light and settings. We truly appreciated his professionalism and patience in arranging family photos at our wedding. He captured many moments at our wedding in photographs that we will cherish forever. Our album was truly outstanding and we look forward to having it to document our special day.

    I wanted to have a really romantic wedding with a twist - I wanted to have a rock star wedding with lots of glamour and unexpected details. When I told Charles and Kellie about it the first time, they got it! It was awesome! I was so thrilled with my engagement pictures. They used special lighting and showed off all the details. Gregg (my hubby) was so gorgeous in these photos. Charles helped him get the idea of looking serious and cool down perfect.

    We just had a taste of our wedding pictures so far and cant wait to see the rest. We got photos to say thank you to my Moms and Pop and his parents. I really didn't see them at my wedding. They were just not in the way. My Dad said they were working like a team. Kellie got a great portrait of my grandmother - the first look pics were great. They got a picture of how emotional Gregg was when he saw me for the first time.

    Charles and Kellie were so good with my family and Gregg's. Even my grumpy aunt didn't phase him. He included even the youngest of us in the portraits, right down to the 1 year old who won't sit still. I don't know how he stays sooo calm. So far, it's been worth every penny. We wanted special looks and wanted our theme carefully recorded and THEY. DID. JUST. WHAT. WE. ASKED. Awesome! We recommend Charles and Kellie -- they have been great!

    First of all I hired Charles because he is an artist. You don't get pictures like the ones I wanted without experience. Charles and I spoke about what I wanted, and I showed him some of my inspirations and, WOW, did I get what I asked for. I wanted more portraits with a look that showed off me and my groom. I wanted sensitivity, complexity and a little drama. We used a very classy and exclusive venue so I could have backgrounds that would produce the look I wanted. Everything had to be elegant and classy and gorgeous. I asked him to take formal and looser family portraits. Even my mom was laughing during the informal portraits. She - never laughs!

    We had a dinner with a first dance and a cake cutting. My event was more formal so there weren't going to be crazy dancing pictures or people acting silly. We wanted an heirloom album. Charles will give us that with our pictures. He even had the Italian album we wanted - and Kellie is designing a custom album for us. She has been very careful to make every detail right for me. Thank you to Charles and Kellie for their artistry and taste. They are so flexible. I recommend them.

    Joe met Charles first. Joe was surprising me with photography for our wedding. We had run out of budget, or so I thought. We had an engagement session and Charles made our Save the Date cards. It was very pretty and we had so many great poses to choose from. Charles and Kellie took lots of pictures and when I wanted a special day-of session to make those romantic pictures of us walking together, they were quick and captured us just right. I love how our candle lighting looked during the ceremony. They took pictures with so much color, I really love them! Charles showed me how romantic my wedding really was -- just like I hoped it would be. Thank you Charles, you were wonderful! I definitely recommend this super team to anyone who asks!

    We just love our pictures! We have been sending our out of town family to our web site and now my mom can choose exactly the pictures she wants!

    Fred and I loved Charles' style of photography, so we went to see him. He was not just nice, he really listened. We could see he cared about us and what we wanted, and that was one reason we went with him. He did a great job on our engagement pictures -- we got a lot of variety. He was funny and he helped us relax in front of the camera. He was the same way on our wedding day, and didn't interrupt the ceremony or the reception. Apparently, he was working hard, because the pictures are fabulous. We are going through our pictures now and there are so many good ones to choose from. You could not hope for better. it was the same way with our engagement pictures, and we got a signature portrait for all of our guests to sign. Iact's much nicer than others I've seen. I'm glad we went with Charles for our wedding.

    I love, love, love these photos! They are romantic, beautiful and make me look like a million dollars! I could not have asked for more. The getting ready photos are fun and just great. My dress shows all the details. The ceremony was covered more artisticaly than I expected it could be. And the moments they caught at the reception are just great fun! I am going to recommend them to all my friends. I can't wait to choose my pictures for the album. Thank you!

    Charles and Kellie were quiet, unobtrusive, and did what they should. We have lots of wonderful pictures. You won't go wrong with them.

    Charles was a great find! From the moment we met, he put us at ease and made us laugh. We had a great time and got all our questions answered. We just wanted the digital images and thought we'd make the album later, and I'm glad we did! We got great photos, which we can make into an album later. Charles captures feelings, not just ordinary pictures. We love our pictures. Charles was understanding and helped get us the pictures we wanted, just the way we want them! Definitely recommend!!

    Charles and Kellie were great! They met us at our venue before our wedding. THey showed us some of the best places to get pictures. They were really nice to me all day. They were unobtrusive and took photos of everything. We got a DVD of our pictures in about 2 weeks. They made our photo website from the best pictures. They were fun to work with and our photos were great. I will recommend them to my friends!

    We met Charles and Kellie at the Bridal Showcase at the Kentlands Mansion, Gaithersburg MD. At the time they were offering free mini ENGAGEMENT photo session with 3 free prints; no obligations. That gave us an opportunity to work with the photographers, see their work and style first hand without paying money. Soon we set up a date for the photo session. They were professional, nice and flexible; put us at ease and made us laugh during the photo session. The photos we have reviewed came out well, and we are pleased with the final three we have selected to be printed. We are yet to see the printed photos, but we are sure they would be of great quality.

    This couple was a lot of fun to work with. We created a wide variety of images for them - and they look great! Thank you for working with us - we appreciate it!

    Our wedding was a big event for us. We had lots offamliy coming from all around hte area. Charles and Kelley were so carefull- they were everywhere , taking pictures they didn't mis a thing. I didn't seee them during the service but Charles caught the "kiss" that sealed teh deal. I was so excited when I saw that picture -- he got it.
    We asked him to take extra groups during our portrait session and he did. Over and over again he said yes. There were pitures of my shoes and dress and the getting ready images were just gogeous. People who never want their picture taken were asking for shots!
    I am most proud of how our first dance pictures look. We spent alot of time rehersing our firstdance. Fred wanted to look like a pro dancer and worked hard on his steps. The first dance pictures made us look like Astaire and Rogers! Fred was so happy. Charles is a real professional and the moments weere priceless. Thank you Charels and Kelley for making it easy and not missing a beat.

    We looked at 6 photographers before we found Charles Jablow. Charles listened to us carefully to make sure he understood what we wanted. We wanted casual, spur o the moment pictures, not posed shots. Charles did both, actually, and I'm glad he did. Everything looks so natural, we are very happy. Charles has a rare ability to catch just the right moment. He's very calm, which I found make me less nervous. He was the right choice for us.

    We really loved having Charles photograph our wedding. He was so professional and polite to my family and guests. We hardly knew he was there, he was really unobtrusive. Of course our pictures were beautiful. We've already highly recommended him to a friend. Thank you so much!

    Charles is a gifted artist as a photographer with particular skill in using lighting to enhance the subjects and a great sense of composition. All I can say about his flexibility, is "amazing"! My schedule was particularly challenging and he not only accommodated, he did so so graciously that he eased a lot of potentially stressful times. I have already recommended him to my friends ... which by the way is how I found him!

    Charles was amazing! Our first photographer, my brother, broke his arm and Charles stepped in to help us with a weeks notice. The pictures were just what we wanted- beautiful, colorful and super stylish. He made me look great. My mom loved all of them! We had to make her an album- which she has shown to all her friends!
    We loved how creative Charles was. Some of our pictures looked like they were from a magazine. If you want a real artist to take pictures at your wedding call Charles, you won't be disappointed!

    We were very pleased with the wedding photographs that Charles took on our special day. We had our 6 month old daughter in our wedding and Charles took time and great care with us to get some great shots of our entire family. The value of his packages were very reasonable and he worked with us to modify one of his packages to extend our time with him. He was also very flexible with us in creating our wedding album. We had a review session of the photo album and were able to provide our feedback resulting in several page changes. He had a very quick turn around time in making our changes and we were extremely pleased with the final design of the photo album. My husband and I are creative people with a photo and video background so it was important for us to find a creative photographer and one that would help us capture our vision for the photo album. We were pleased with our choice!

    Was a pleasure to work with Charles. Even though it was a hot day, he made the picture taking easy, comfortable and fun. We were impressed with the quality of the pictures and how well he captured our feelings. He was very professional and he answered all of our questions, giving us different options and prices. For our photography needs, he will be our top choice. We recommend him.
