    Our PHENOM experience with Charmi!

    Going to start out by saying 5 stars does not do Charmi and her team enough justice!!! She was the absolute best to work with - my husband, our families and I would have been lost without her. She has an impeccable eye for creative detail, is fearlessly bold with her visions and gives the most fun, modern spin on Indian wedding photography. She captured countless raw emotional moments throughout the entire week and saved the posing for fun, dramatic portraits. She cheered us on the whole weekend, not as a photographer but as a friend - checking in on us, always giving us good laughs and making sure we were comfortable as well as our immediate families. On our wedding day, Charmi worked alongside our planner and knew how to command a room to keep things moving and how decor and lighting needed to be rearranged to ensure the best possible photos. Knowing she was a big part in running the show kept me (bride) at ease. She also got family photos after the wedding done in a super quick and organized manner. She was not only attentive to our immediate family, but so great with grandparents and all of the kids present - she made sure they were included in the photos and honestly looked out for them as if they were her own family. Charmi sent us sneak peaks after each event and delivered our entire photo gallery within a week. Needless to say, we are in awe of/obsessed with every single photo and are so glad we had the opportunity to work with such a talented artist. Our guests had great things to say when meeting Charmi in person and even better things to say after seeing her beautiful work. She was a big part of our wedding week - not just documenting but making it fun even in the most stressful of times. We are so thankful for Charmi and love her!!!!

    Absolutely loved Charmi!!

    We hired Charmi about a year out from our wedding date. Her photography is breathtaking and we knew our wedding photos would turn out beautiful. During the wedding weekend, Charmi and her team were soo fun to work with. Charmi herself is super talented. She would snap one photo and it would turn out perfect! Charmi also got to know each member in our family, it felt as if she was apart of our family by the end of the weekend! We would certainly recommend her to anyone!!

    Fantastic experience!!

    Charmi was an absolute doll to work with. Prior to our wedding, she was always available for questions (and always happy to help out with advice in wedding planning as well!). During our event, Charmi was there every step of the way, not only taking stunning photos, but also making efforts to make sure everyone in the wedding party was taken care of. She even made sure I was well fed all weekend long (bringing me cactus tacos at one point!). Turnover time for photos was also unbelievably fast. We received a few sneak peaks in a few days, and we got our full set in about 3 weeks! Charmi was professional and did a fantastic job the entire weekend. Her team was also fantastic to have around. Cant wait to have another event just so I can have Charmi around :)

    Extremely Talented and a genuine person.

    Charmi was originally hired for our Indian wedding which unfortunately due to Covid had to be postponed. Sadly, Charmi already had another wedding booked that day but I told my husband we need to do a shoot with her and somehow incorporate her photos into our wedding. We decided to do our legal wedding on our original Indian wedding date and I automatically reached out to her and she said yes! She was so friendly and such a genuine human being. Since I lived in Atlanta but the shoot would be in NJ, we had multiple phone calls in terms of how I visioned the legal wedding and how she could help to bring that to life. We had such a blast running around the streets through Princeton finding the best places to take a picture. It was nothing but a positive experience. Charmi is extremely talented and one of the best in the game. We highly highly recommend Charmi, she is worth every penny. We will definitely be hiring her again.

    The absolute best of the best!!!!

    Charmi is the absolute best wedding photographer!!!!! My husband and I knew we wanted Charmi to photograph our wedding before we even got engaged!!! Her creativity and talent is seen in each and every picture! She captures the smallest detail and every emotion so beautifully to make every ordinary moment special. From our first phone call all the way to putting together our album, Charmi was communicative and quickly responsive. She offered her professional advice and honest opinions on everything we had questions about. She is extremely dependable and so down to earth! She captured every little moment from our wedding and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the result! Her turn-around time is also unreal! We had a few sneak peak photos before we even left for our honeymoon- 2 days after the wedding! And the remainder came within 3 weeks! Having Charmi photograph our wedding was the best decision we made and she already knows she’s reserved as our photographer for every major future event in our lives!! If you’re considering booking her, I assure you, you will not regret it! She will make the most important weekend of your life truly memorable by giving you the most beautiful and meaningful photos you will always have to cherish!

    Truly talented photographer!

    Charmi is INCREDIBLE! My husband and I had a destination wedding in Aruba, and we knew we wanted Charmi as our photographer before we even settled on what country we were getting married in. From the very start, Charmi was incredibly helpful. We were nervous about having a destination wedding and Charmi reassured us multiple times. Having done destination weddings before, she knew exactly what to look for once we arrived in Aruba. She took the time to look for picturesque locations, helped with styling, and was mindful of everything else that was going on. Charmi even took the time to review our wedding schedule, and quickly realized that we hadn’t allocated time to take pictures under the mandap during the beautiful Aruban sunset. She quickly informed us, our wedding planners, and worked with our other vendors to adjust the timing. And thank god she did — because we now have incredible pictures of us doing the ceremonial wedding pheras with the most beautiful and striking backdrop. Weddings are extremely stressful, and having someone in your corner who is organized, efficient and gets the job done is important. Every step of the way, Charmi did exactly that. And now, even one year later, we can look at our wedding pictures and it brings us right back to Aruba every time.

    We loved working with Charmi and her husband Patrick on our wedding photos. Charmi was very straightforward and organized, and she kept everything running smoothly. Before the wedding, we shot some engagement photos at the Grounds for Sculpture. On the day of the wedding, we did some pictures at our hotel in Morristown before heading to the Stone House in Warren for portraits, the ceremony and the reception. Charmi and Patrick had a great sense for what we were looking for -- natural, candid pictures that captured our feelings and favorite moments. We'll be treasuring the photos for a long, long time.
