One word: amazing. Carlton and Sheila worked with us for an e-session and on our wedding day. They are flexible, very informative, and compassionate. We are so pleased with our photos and hope to work with them in the near future. We would, if we may, offer some advice, trust their experience. Go for the first look.

CThompson photography was more than I could have ever requested. The pictures were exquisite and fully captured my husband's and my personality. They didn't miss a single moment and they really worked with my husband and me. We are so grateful that they were there to witness and record our special day.

I loved working with CThompson photography. They were excellent. My photos are great and they captured so many things I wasn't able to notice doing the ceremony and reception. Based on our meeting, they knew exactly what I wanted. Top notch!

A few years ago I saw a coworkers wedding album and remembered being impressed by her photos, but when we began planning I could not remember the photographer until I saw his card at a Bridal Show. What a Blessing!!! Carlton and Sheila have found their gift. They are interested in knowing you are a couple. They spend their time, and it is evident that they really love what they do. Initially, we thought we have plenty of pictures together and really didn't need an engagement photo shoot, but boy were we wrong. The pictures were amazing, he turned an average park into a remote photo scene... amazing. The photo's are innovative and unique, each tells a story of that couple. Well worth every penny and then some. It's amazing when one picture can express every thought that I had inside. His photographs are breath taking. We can't wait to see the rest of the our wedding album. This was the best investment! Excellent customer services with all the personal touches...
C Thompson Photography responded with the following comments:
It was such a pleasure working with you two on your wedding and engagement photos. You gave us so much to work with, from the wonderful venue and hotel and the perfect park that we just couldn't miss. Looking forward to many family sessions in the future.

My husband and I met Carlton and Sheila Thompson at the Baltimore Bridal Showcase in early spring of 2011. We stopped by their booth for more information on their services and we immediately clicked. They are a wonderful husband and wife collaboration and their price points are very reasonable. We had our engagement photo session at a park in Washington D.C. We wanted to include our dog in our engagement photos as well, and Carlton was very open to the idea. The engagement session went great and our pictures were beautiful. The events of our wedding day went pretty smoothly. Thanks to Carlton's suggestion of taking most of the bridal party pictures before the ceremony, my husband and I had plenty of time to take our pictures during the cocktail hour. This saved a great deal of time as we were never in a rush for anything on our wedding day. Their shots were absolutely wonderful, and I hardly remember seeing them during the ceremony and reception!

The final product, our digital photos and the wedding album were exquisite. All of our friends and family were amazed when they saw the wedding album. The pictures were wonderful and they had never seen anything like it. As a Christmas gift to some of our family and friends, we asked Carlton to print 8 x 10 photos of a long list of pictures. He personally delivered the prints to our home, nicely packaged and they were beautiful. We could go on and on about our wonderful experience with C Thompson Photography, their professionalism, and expertise. Please do not hesitate to use C Thompson Photography for your photography needs. They are a wonderful pair and we are so happy we chose them. We never had a single worry about anything while working with them.
C Thompson Photography responded with the following comments:
Thank you so much for the kind words and for letting us create real art. It's not all that often that our clients let us help them to manage their day and we were so appreciative that you noticed that we could get so many great images that way. We have ordered an additional copy of your album to use as a sample. The love you two share together was so infectious that it was so easy to capture it in the images. Thank you for letting us be a part of your special day.

Sheila and Carlton were both professional and fun. They are great at giving you direction and suggestions. I normally hate taking pictures and did not want a photographer for my wedding, however I'm super happy that my husband convinced me to hire one and even happier that we had the right photographer to capture our special day in a such a beautiful and creative way!
C Thompson Photography responded with the following comments:
Oh my Yerica and Carlos! We're so glad you brought us on to cover your beautiful wedding. We also wanted to thank you for taking our suggestions for your itinerary so that we could have enough time to capture some truly amazing images. Your wedding party was over the top and I'm glad we got some cool shots of them too. Your album is setting a tone for our new brides for letting us plan the timing of the day to capture more images. Thanks again.

Our experience with Carlton was very positive. He does excellent work and was very flexible throughout the entire process. I was most impressed with his ability to work with the color in our church, as most of the light was coming in through a stain glass window that made everything look orange. Carlton handled it with no problem and our pictures turned out beautiful. We would definitely work with him again in the future and recommend him to others.
C Thompson Photography responded with the following comments:
A very fair review as I was dealing with the loss of my father after your wedding. Thank you for your patience while I was trying to get myself together. What a moving wedding and beautifully styled reception. It was so difficult designing your album as there was so many excellent details to include. thanks again for letting us be a part of your special day.

Carlton and Shelia were beyond AMAZING! From the engagement shoot to our wedding day! They were attentive to our needs and got some amazing shots that people are still talking about! Each time someone asks who did our pictures I quickly tell them and also have told others who have recently gotten engaged. A family friend is an aspiring photographer and his mom asked that I show him our album because it was high quality work and something he should aim for! They really took the time to make sure we were happy and that our pictures would be perfect...even down to the quick outfit change (Carlton can tell you about that one) :) I HIGHLY recommend C Thompson Photography!
C Thompson Photography responded with the following comments:
Thanks for the review Rae and Brent. That is too funny about the clothing change. I surprised myself. It was such a joy being around you too and your excitement. "Eeeeeeee!!" That was so classic! I told my kids about the excited bride. You guys take care, and remember to call us when the little bundle arrives.

We were referred to Carlton and Sheila by good friends of ours, who had a family session with them. I was very impressed by their portfolio on their website and felt that they would be a great fit for us. We had a lot of fun on our engagement session and they made us feel very comfortable with all the different shots we had taken. After seeing the engagement photos, I knew that they were going to capture all of the great moments of our wedding day, which they did. I absolutely love how all of our photos turned out and four months later I still find myself still amazed at how they captured all of the special moments of our wedding day. I look forward to working with them again in the future for family sessions and will always recommend them to anyone who is looking for a great photographer.
C Thompson Photography responded with the following comments:
Thank you so much for the kind words Crystal and Aron. We had so much with you two and all the antics of your friends. Thank you for your willingness to let us express our creativity. Your wedding was so visually cool that we made a sample album for our studio with your wedding. We look forward to working with you again.

Stay cool,

We first met Carlton and Sheila at the Baltimore Convention Center for a Bridal show in March 2011, our wedding was in 4 months and we still hadn't found a photographer !! From the moment I saw his work and then went onto his website, I knew he was the man for us !! An absolute pleasure to work with !! Carlton is truly the best at what he does !! I would highly recommend Carlton to anyone looking for someone who is at the top of his game !! No one will remember the food, music, or decor, but they will remenber the photos, as this is a very important part of any wedding. We are an older couple, married for the second time, and Carltlton knew how inportant capuring the meaning of family and friends was inmportant to us, and he did exactly that !! Carlton worked within our budget, and gave us a product that we are extremely proud of, from the engagement session, to capturing the essence of our wedding day, and now as we look back at the photos, I am very pleased that we chose C Thompson Photography. And you will be too !!
C Thompson Photography responded with the following comments:
I kind of felt that we were supposed to work together. From the short time we had together at the Bridal show, we really wanted to work with you. What a wonderful time we had with your family and friends. Love was in the air. After hearing all that you guys went through just to make that day happen, we knew we had to bring our A game. You are beautiful people inside and out. Thank you again for the opportunity.

C Thompson Photography was very professional and demonstrated a high degree of creativity and talent during our Spring wedding. Specifically the shot locations for the engagement and wedding photos were breathtaking. We had a great experience and it was well worth the investment. We highly recommend them for any cherished professional photography services.
C Thompson Photography responded with the following comments:
It was truly our pleasure Harold. We enjoyed your e-session so much that we new your wedding would be memorable. I was really cool how the rain ended at just the right time for us to get some really nice images outdoors with that vintage Rolls. Everyone loves the military theme and how you two looked at each other so lovingly in the images. I tell everyone that they were so into each other that we hardly did any direction. You guys really brought the love and it was contagious. Thanks again.

C Thompson Photography has done 2 of my sister's weddings, so I knew right from the start I wanted them for my big day. They sat down with me and my fiance and worked out a deal that would get us what we wanted and still be able to stay in our budget. I am so greatful for all of the hard work and patience from the engagement photos to the wedding album. They did an outstanding job and I would definitly use them again in the future.
C Thompson Photography responded with the following comments:
We appreciate the opportunity to capture such a beautiful wedding you and Bryan created. From the colors to the beautiful wedding party and touching moments. We received a number of calls when we posted some of your images to our Facebook page. We thank you and your family for such loyalty. We'll get your Mom and Dad infront of our cameras soon.

Best wishes for a successful marriage,
