Hi there, my name is Charles!
I am a wedding photographer serving Spokane and Coeur d’Alene. My journey to photography wasn’t a straight line—in fact, it started after my time in the U.S. Army, where a life-changing moment made me see the world differently. I fell in love with photography as a way to celebrate life’s most meaningful moments, and weddings quickly became my favorite. There’s nothing like capturing the laughter, happy tears, and all those in-between moments that make your day unforgettable. As a veteran, I bring dedication, heart, and a knack for finding the beauty in the little things. Let’s create photos that let you relive your best day ever, again and again!
My Photography Style
When I think about weddings, I picture a day filled with love, laughter, and moments you’ll never want to forget. That’s what inspires my photography style—telling your unique story in a way that’s timeless, beautiful, and true to you.
Every wedding has those epic, once-in-a-lifetime moments—the first kiss, the twirl during your first dance, the way your partner looks at you as you walk down the aisle. For these moments, I bring out the big tools: professional strobes and light modifiers. It might sound technical, but all it means is that I make sure your photos look incredible no matter where we are—whether it’s the soft glow of a sunset or the romantic twinkle of string lights at your reception.
Then, there’s the other side of the day: the laughter with your wedding party, the stolen kisses, and your grandma tearing it up on the dance floor. These are the candid, natural moments that truly capture the heart of your celebration. I blend magazine-quality portraits with real, unscripted moments so you get a gallery that feels as dynamic and alive as your wedding day.
Throughout the day, I’ll guide you with posing and lighting to make sure you feel confident and relaxed in front of the camera. Don’t worry if you’re not used to having your picture taken—most of my couples aren’t! My job is to make the experience fun and effortless, so you can focus on being in the moment.
And when the day is over, my work isn’t done. I carefully edit and retouch each photo to enhance its natural beauty while keeping it authentic to you. The result? Images that make you smile every time you see them, whether it’s 5 months or 50 years from now.
At the end of the day, my goal is simple: to create photos that don’t just show what your wedding looked like but how it felt. From the grand moments to the little ones in between, I want you to have a collection of images that bring you right back to the happiest day of your life.
