About

My photography style reflects my personality: joyful, energetic, and honest. I specialize in a documentary approach, and I've won international awards for my wedding photojournalism. My work has been featured in Newsweek, Popular Photography, and Photo District News, as well as a variety of popular wedding magazines and websites.

I live in the mountains of beautiful Manitou Springs, just outside Colorado Springs and south of Denver. I am available to travel throughout Colorado and nationwide.

Reviews of Charlotte Geary Photography

I cannot say enough amazing things about Charlotte and the photography she provided for our October wedding at Rust Manor. We hired Charlotte because of her natural and unposed/photojournalistic style of taking photos. Both her and her assistant captured so many subtle details of our wedding day.

Working with Charlotte to plan and put together our schedule ahead of time was also easy. She was flexible, and offered advice for when to schedule family/group shots, etc. Within a few days after the wedding day, she uploaded a few photos of our wedding to her blog, and we received the online version of our photos by the time we got back from our honeymoon. I was amazed at how quickly she turned our photos around for us.

In addition to photographing our wedding day, Charlotte also met up with us for an hour at Meadowlark Gardens to shoot some engagement shots for us. We used these for our Save the Dates.

Charlotte is calm, easy going, creative, and fun - we are so grateful she could be a part of our wedding day. Having quality photos were a high priority for us, and Charlotte certainly exceeded our expectations.

Stop searching for a photographer. You have found her. Charlotte is amazing. She did both our engagement session and our wedding. Absolutely the best decision I made for our wedding. I have never felt more beautiful than I have looking at the pictures Charlotte took of my husband and me. We hope to have Charlotte capture our memories as our family grows. :-)

We have a huge family with lots of different family units. She took great candid pics and found special moments I was not even aware happened during the night. We have also had her do family portraits years later. We have a family of seven with small children... Charlotte worked great with the children! Anyone that has a large family knows what a nightmare family pictures can be. Charlotte did our family portrait and single pictures for the children. She worked well with the kids, was patient, innovative and had a great attitude even in the midst of the freezing weather. She was open to what I wanted done even though her ideas turned out better. I was grateful for the style that she infused. The kid's pictures had their unique personalities infused and were not cheesy portraits. I am looking forward to working with her for a rather unique family portrait we would like done.

Charlotte is fantastic. We flew her out to San Francisco to shoot our wedding after seeing her pictures online, so we didn't meet her until the day she started taking our pictures. It didn't matter at all! She was very sweet and easy to talk to, and she takes photos so casually that you forget she's there as anything but a friend. She captured so many special moments but was perfectly unobtrusive, and we gotten so many compliments on our wedding photos. She and her second shooter (her husband Mike, in our case) seem to have a great time at every wedding they shoot, and she really takes time to appreciate the things that make each wedding special (her blog is good evidence of this: http://www.charlottegeary.com/blog/). Her albums are gorgeous too; the layouts are excellent...just the right mix of dramatic shots and subtle details.

We loved Charlotte and would fly her out again!

Charlotte did our "Rock the Dress" or "Fearless Bridal" photo session, after we were very disappointed with our original wedding photography (not Charlotte!) She was adventurous, kind, and very careful with our concerns and my obvious fears. She was creative and it was just plain FUN to have her doing the shoot. She is clearly a talented artist and *loves* what she does, and that just makes having her as a photographer not only reassuring but exciting. There's nothing like hanging out with someone who is both having a great time doing what she does, but is also going to produce an amazing product for you. We were WOWed by the pictures that Charlotte took of us, and her willingness to get into some crazy situations to get those shots. I would HIGHLY, HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend Charlotte to anyone. If you'd like to talk to me personally about Charlotte's photography, feel free to email me at tmansbridge at me dot com.

All I can say is WOW! Charlotte and her team were so fabulous! They were so fun and made us feel comfortable right away. So many of our guests commented on how easygoing yet professional they were. We received our pictures so quickly - we even got to see a preview while we were still on our honeymoon! The images are beautiful and as a photographer myself I can honestly say I am so thrilled with what they did!

Charlotte and her assistant will capture shots at your wedding you won't even know they got. They are there but "not in the way", leaving you to have a wonderful celebration and the photographs to remember it by. Her personality is so easy to work with, she's cheerful, sweet, down to earth and also professional. I highly, highly, highly recommend Charlotte Geary!!
