Blown Away!

We LOVED working with Jessica as our wedding photographer! She has an amazing vision and made us look so incredibly natural (which is not easy for us!). She captured so many moments for memories that will last a lifetime. I can't thank her enough for all that she did. She also turned the photos around so quickly!

Words cant even describe how amazing Jessica is. She was our photographer for our engagement shoot and our wedding. From the beginning she was so friendly and personable, and also passionate about what she does. Our engagement photos were exactly what we wanted. Between our engagement and wedding we kept in touch a lot! Photography was one of the most important aspects of our wedding, so I had a lot of specific questions for her throughout the planning process. She was always helpful and provided a lot of input while keeping me calm about the day that everything would be perfect. She is the best combination of laid back and organized the day of our wedding. It made me feel super relaxed and calmed my nerves day of which I definitely needed! She got all the details so I didn't have to think about it! We had a lot of time for photos (on purpose), so it was a long day from getting ready to our send off. I was worried that it would be really tiring for her and her second photographer but they loved every minute, they were so passionate about capturing every moment which was so special to us. Upon seeing our wedding photos (a short two weeks later because she was so fast at getting everything back!) it was like reliving our day all over again. Jessica is an amazing artist and her photography is simply stunning, from the rich color and beautiful lighting she captures to every angle and detail. I can't say enough how in love with our photos that we are and how grateful to Jessica we are to have them to cherish every single day!

Jessica is a dream come true. The thing that I love about her is that she is able to capture the moments that might mean nothing to outsiders looking in, but mean the absolute world to the people she shoots. She understands women, family, and love in a way that really shows through in her work and her artistic style never overshadows the moments. Jessica was our first choice- our only choice, really. I followed her work for years and had total faith in her which really made us comfortable, I wasn't worried that anything would be missed, I wasn't uncomfortable taking the posed photos, it was just perfect to have someone so warm with us on our special day to round up our massive family and wild bridal party. She was totally on board and up to the challenge I brought when I mentioned that I wanted to try smoke bombs. She brought a second shooter who was also so incredible and they worked until the very end of the show. My family kept saying they'd never seen anyone work so hard.. they are still talking about it. She was able to capture these moments between my husband and I that had me saying "I didn't even know she was there!" or "Look! She caught that face you make when you're proud of yourself for making me laugh so hard!" It really means the world to us and we will treasure these photos forever. We will treasure her forever, honestly, there must be some sort of bond that happens between wedding photographers and brides and grooms cause we just love this girl.

It’s difficult to summarize just how important great photography is to a wedding (or any event!). I knew from day 1 that photography was the most important part of the process for us. The day would fly by and I would want amazing pictures to be able to look back on. Jessica and her assistant made that happen for us. We met a couple of times to discuss the engagement shoot (a really great bonus to the package - those pictures were STUNNING) and the wedding timeline. Jessica is very sweet and I like how she captures moments as they are happening - not a lot of posing required. :) if I could get married again and do it all over I would choose Jessica Charles Photography each time. The pictures were exactly what I wanted, and we got them back in record time (less than a month I think? Maybe two weeks?). High quality photography from a really talented person. Our photos were magical and I cant wait to get them plastered all over the walls (we’re remodeling so it’s having to wait!). Thank you Jessica for all your hard work and for giving us such a wonderful gift. You are a hidden gem in Upstate SC and I’m very fortunate to have found you.

I enjoyed working with Jessica Charles Photography so much! I really can't say enough about her work and how easy it was to work with her. Jessica was super available for me during the planning process. We had a Skype session, since we lived in Spain while we were planning the wedding, and met her for tacos before the wedding. The photo package I selected included an engagement session with hair and makeup. I'm really glad we worked with her before the wedding because we felt very comfortable with her and had an idea of what to do. I think a big part of why I liked working with her so much is that she made me feel more at ease and less self conscious than I would normally while someone is taking my photo. A wedding is already stressful enough so I'm glad that the photography aspect of it was stress free! Jessica and her second shooter, Ginia, were extremely professional but also very easy going. I felt like I was with friends! During the ceremony and reception, they blended in perfectly and made everyone feel at ease. We received our photos yesterday and love them! I'm really happy that we chose to go with Jessica. Our wedding went by so quickly and luckily we have beautiful photographs to remember it forever!

Jessica was absolutely the best photographer we could ask for. She was so kind, flexible and acted like we had been friends for years. On top of all that, her pictures were amazing. She took our suggestions along with providing her own and was like the secret service at our wedding - totally invisible. Big thanks to Jessica!

From the second Jessica picked up my first phone call, we instantly clicked! She has to be the sweetest person around! It was honestly like talking to an old friend, that you haven't seen in a long time. She was patient, understood me, and my wedding vision. When it comes to photography, it goes without saying, that Mrs. Jessica Charles, the face behind Jessica Charles Photography is just absolutely amazing at what she does! I am proud, and filled with joy that we were able to book Jessica for our wedding in Weaverville, NC. When wedding planning you go through wedding albums, pins, posts, blogs, magazines, etc, and in the end you can only hope/wish to have such a beautiful destination wedding photographed as if it were in a wedding magazine. Jessica and her assistant Ginia did JUST THAT, capturing each moment & every detail perfectly. Every moment was natural, and nothing too staged. Which is exactly what I wanted. I couldn't be any happier with the outcome of our wedding photos. Not only did Jessica photograph my wedding, but also a secret outdoor boudoir shoot (IN THE MOUNTAINS!!) as a surprise for my hubby on our big day, as well as a post wedding shoot in the mountains. All of which came out absolutely breathtaking. If you're looking for an easy going, fun, professional photographer to capture your wedding, or any other special moments Jessica Charles Photography is your best option.

Jessica was AMAZING!! She is such a sweet individual and her photography skills were everything we were hoping for and more! My husband and I were thrilled with how our Engagement shoot and Wedding photos turned out!! She was very professional and even sent us a little gift to go along with our USB drive of photos for an extra special touch. We cannot thank her enough for all of the amazing work she has done to make our special memories live on forever.

Jessica is the most amazing photographer! It was like she was your best friend, while being professional at the same time! We did our engagement shoot in North Carolina and our wedding was in St. Petersburg Fl. All of our photos are absolutely stunning! She was very responsive and had our photos to us in a timely manner. It was a pleasure working with her! I would recommend Jessica Charles to everyone!

I worked with Jessica Charles at a wedding we did back in December 2010. The weather was freezing cold but yet she never complained or tried to rush through any shot. She took the most amazing pictures, many of which I use now for promotional items. She is extremely professional and cares for her clients on a more personal level. Photography is more then just a profession for her, but more so a way of life. Her pictures are absolutely amazing and her demeanor is above the rest. If you want some truly professional pictures as well as a great photographer that cares about you on a personal level, then be sure to contact Jessica. You will be more then happy that you did!
