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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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!!

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're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

As a videographer, I have known and worked with Charles Jablow on many occasions – mostly weddings, mitzvahs and other special events. He is a seasoned professional photographer – friendly, knowledgeable, and disciplined in his creative work. I recently video recorded a family milestone event at the Fairmont Hotel in Washington, D.C. Charles worked hard especially on the formal family portraits to keep things moving and get the shots he needed. Later, I was privileged to see some of the photos and they are spectacular. I look forward to working another special event again with Charles sometime in the near future. P.S. Here is a little trivia for you - Charles is a great piano player!
