    A dedicated and inspired visionary is what you receive when hiring Charlie and co. More than just a videographer and makes sure your memories are documented and displayed with thought, expertise, and care.

    Charlie is not only incredibly talented at filming and creating amazing videos of the most special day, but he is also such a genuine and personable individual. He goes above and beyond from capturing the special moments- little and big, to getting to know you as a couple, to understanding your family history, to focusing on the details. His creativity, vision, and hard work helps him to create the most amazing wedding films that truly embody the essence of the couple's marriage. His videos are so professional and incredibly well done. We feel so lucky Charlie was our videographer and would recommend him to all family and friends who get married next.

    I haven't even gotten all of our footage back from Charlie (only social media sneak peeks within 48 hours of the wedding... WOW) and I already know he's the BEST. We were referred to him by our photographer (also incredible) Michelle Lytle because he did her wedding.

    Charlie is honestly one of the nicest, hardworking, passionate, and genuine people my husband and I have ever met. We had a blast meeting with him and talking about our vision for the big day. It was clear within the first 30 seconds of talking with him that his number 1 priority was creating a kick ass film of our day. ...

    We'll follow up once we see our final video but I have nothing but confidence that him and his wife are going to create something that wows us.

    I absolutely loved working with Charlie. He is incredibly talented and was so warm and genuine. My husband is pretty camera-shy, so Charlie and his assistant were conscious to stay pretty unnoticed by others, yet they still captured everything perfectly. Charlie was also so helpful in being conscious of our budget and helped us find the right package for our needs and budget. We have received numerous compliments on our 6 minute wedding video trailer. I would highly recommend him to anyone--you won't be sorry. He's a true professional!
