Couldn’t have asked for better!!

Charles was awesome!! He captured all the important moments of the day, plus some I didn’t think of. Our wedding was a destination wedding so it was scary not knowing what we were getting into, but he put us at ease every step of the way. His laidback charm and humor, paired with his experience and creativity, were so refreshing! And it showed in the final pictures! Any bride and groom would be lucky to have him.

The best in the industry!!

Charles is by far the best in the industry!! From day one he made us feel at ease about the process and what to expect. The Day Of he was every where catching everything we asked for. Made sure we had everything we needed, wanted and so much more. He was great with our wedding party and family! Checked every step of the way that we got what we wanted out of our day. His partner in crime was also great and very personable! Seriously you just can’t go wrong with Charles by your side on your big day.

Great photos and even better personality!!

We hired Charles for our engagement and wedding photos (in October 2024) and had the most positive experience!

To start, he is very easy to get ahold of, responds quickly, and all around has a great level of communication! He was always on time for our meetings and made sure he took the time to understand our photo vision! He was super flexible with specific picture requests (like including our dog) and had a lot of fun and creative photo ideas to contribute!

Most importantly, Charles has such a wonderful and positive energy that is infectious!! He kept everyone relaxed and having FUN on wedding day! It is clear that he simply loves what he does and being a part of people's special days!

And to top it all off, his turn around time was incredibly fast for getting the photos back to us! We hadn't even made it home from our honeymoon and our photos were already waiting for us (in just two weeks)! Just WOW!!!

Overall we loved working with him and would highly recommend him to anyone! Thanks Charles for everything!!

Phenomenal Photographer

I couldn’t have been more satisfied with my experience with Charles Merry. He is extremely professional, competent, and caring. He clearly loves what he does and his photos reflect that. He has such an eye for details, and communicates with you consistently to ensure you are getting what you want. He creates such a positive environment, not only for the clients, but for all of the guests as well. I would recommend him to anyone in need of a photographer!

Would Highly Recommend!!

We would highly recommend CM Photography! Charles photographed our wedding. He is very professional. He is so friendly, as soon as we met him it felt like we were old friends. He really took his time and captured every moment. Communication was so simple. Any questions I had were answered within a matter of minutes of sending the message. We received our pictures back in 4 days. We chose him because of the raving reviews we read on social media so we already knew he was good but he completely exceeded our expectations.

Charles Merry is an amazing photographer!!

He is truly gifted. He took the time to ask questions about our special day and what my vision was. This really showed me his passionate for capturing all the moments of our family and friends witnessing our love. Even before I met him, I already felt like I knew him just from our phone conversations. Thank you Charles Merry for capturing one of the most special days of our lives.

The seamless communication and fun atmosphere created by the team made the experience unforgettable. Additionally, the team's ability to bring our ideas to life in such a beautiful way was truly remarkable.

Bridal Photos & Wedding!

Charles was amazing. I had issues with my wedding dress, so I couldn't get bridal photos done until 2 days before my wedding. He was accommodating and extremely understanding. He was also with me the entire wedding day and captured some really special moments! As a person who does not like having my picture taken, he made sure I felt comfortable and beautiful all day! Thank you, Charles!

Absolutely Amazing Photography!!

Charles did absolutely amazing!! He took my bridal portraits and wedding photos. He had a canvas made and brought it to the wedding to display my favorite bridal portrait. He made everyone feel comfortable and laughing the entire time! He was open and flexible to try different poses, but our favorites were usually the poses he recommended! He took posed and candid photos of the ceremony and reception. We loved all OVER 1000 photos he sent us only 10 days after! We enjoyed working with CM photography and will definitely hire them again in the future! Thank you so much!
