An amazing experience!

When we first met with Alie and Richie over the phone, they walked us through their process and immediately understood our vision and our personalities. I left the conversation feeling confident and excited for our engagement shoot. We met up with Richie at the site of the shoot and he was so excited and welcoming which squashed all my nervous energy. We had so much fun and got to be fully ourselves. They were super communicative and we got our pictures back quickly. The entire gallery was gorgeous and perfectly captured my fiance and I's love and happiness! I absolutely recommend Love Charm!!

Captured Our Forever

Alie and Richie are the dream team of photographers! Shout out to Love Charm Photography for capturing the details of my wedding day. During various photoshoots, they were honest about lighting and recommended spots to take beautiful pictures by the water, the yacht club, and the church. They captured our love story as a new military family, and even took pictures of our special stuff-animals who accompanied us during our special day. They are opened to new ideas and were excited to take pictures during a "Photobomb" - where guests from each table run up to the bride and groom in the middle of the dance floor to take a silly picture. I cannot recommend Love Charm enough. Thank you Alie and Richie for being a part of our journey.

What a great experience!

From the minute we saw some of Alie and Richie's past work, we knew that we had to have them photograph our wedding, and boy, are we glad that we hired them! Leading up to our big day, they checked in with us multiple times to understand our aesthetic, and to go over our detailed timeline to make sure that they could accomplish everything we wanted. We don't consider ourselves to be the best photo subjects, but on the day of, Alie and Richie gave us plenty of direction to really help us come alive! We received our teaser package only a few short days after our event, and the photos were absolutely incredible! We cannot wait to receive the full set :D

We're in Love with Love Charm Photography!

Alie and Richie of Love Charm Photography are exactly who you want to hire for your elopement, wedding, or special event. I cannot begin to express how thankful my husband and I are for their positive energy, amazing gallery of photos, and care in making our COVID elopement feel like our dream wedding.

At a loss about our crumbling plans for our big day back in April, 2020, we found Alie and Richie's inviting website in the hopes of planning an elopement for July. Alie and Richie were open about their COVID policies (which are great and very fair for the client) and were flexible to meet our budget. Within the first few minutes of our consultation, we were determined to hire them!

On the day of the wedding, this dynamic duo powered through the July heat with professionalism, positivity, and pure joy! They worked seamlessly with our videographers and communicated like clock-work with them. As a result, our photos and video show cohesion throughout the day.

The full gallery was delivered around a month post-wedding, which is speedy for the wedding industry! Our gallery contained SO many more pictures than we were promised and a wonderful array of photojournalistic and posed photos! We were left speechless at the quality, quantity, and energy that they captured. They even posted the highlights of our day on their blog, which was easy to share with family and friends (and also make us feel like low-key celebrities).

I cannot recommend Alie and Richie enough. They were integral in raising our spirits about our COVID-elopement and were the ideal team to hire for our wedding! They captured everything that we wanted and tons more that we didn't know that we needed, too!

Couldn't have been better!

Ali, Richie and LaJuan helped make my wedding day so memorable. They were fantastic in communication and information leading up to my wedding day - I had zero questions for them on the morning of! The wedding day was so wonderfully smooth - we captured some beautiful shots for my first look with my dad and then again with my husband. We split the wedding up into our actual wedding day, and then had a huge party the night after, where both Alie and Richie worked with me on the timeline and the flow of the night. They were very easy to work with and allowed us to be ourselves throughout both days. Cannot thank Love Charm Photo enough!

Professional and Friendly

We recently worked with the Love Charm team to get our engagement photos taken. We have worked with them previously but I was still nervous to be in front of the camera! They immediately made us feel so incredibly comfortable and relaxed. The way this team works shows their knowledge and experience. We are so excited to continue working with Alie and Richie on our wedding day and also as the years go by with family photos and events!

Such wonderful people to work with!

We first met Ritchie & Alie from my wifes mother in search of a photographer for our wedding, and I’m sure glad we did! From the moment we met, they made us feel so comfortable and treated us like friends. We connected with them so well that we decided to use them for our newborn shoot prior to our wedding as well. Ritchie cleared some time in their busy schedule to be prompt and capture such precious moments in our life. We just got all of our images back from our wedding and we couldn’t be any happier with ALL of them. From capturing the style of our wedding, to getting every detail, to just great comfortable conversation. They have gained lifelong clients with us. I cannot stress how much it means to not have to worry on the day of the wedding and to be confident in your decision with your photographers, and we certainly were. They were wonderful to work with, very competitive with pricing, and exceeded our expectations!

I'm forever grateful for Love Charm Photo! Richie and Alie were both so much fun to work with! They were referred to us from our friends that were extremely happy with their wedding photos. I'm so happy with how extremely flexible they were with us! Our wedding grew from a completely private ceremony to a larger ceremony at the Naval Academy Chapel, all within a month! They were even able to accommodate us and shoot our last minute engagement photos a few days before our ceremony! They made us feel incredibly comfortable, even though we both sometimes feel awkward in front of the camera. The poses they suggested look amazing in the photos! I can't believe how beautiful every single photo turned out. They kept us up to date during the entire process which I especially appreciated! I couldn't of been any happier and am so thankful we were blessed enough to have them shoot the best day of our lives!
