One of the best wedding decisions we made!

If I could give Charlotte more than 5 stars I would!
Right from the start when I was doing my research into a wedding photographer, I instantly fell in love with other photos I had seen of weddings Charlotte had photographed. When I spoke to Charlotte on the phone she was so personable, friendly and there was no pressure from her to book with her. Communication was faultless and Charlotte always provides prompt responses.
On the wedding day, she was amazing! I didn’t envy her having to try and gather and organise all the wedding guests but she did a great job.
The sneak peak photos we have had so far, I am in love with and cannot stop looking at them and I cannot wait for the rest to come through! It was one of the best wedding decisions we made and we are so happy we chose Charlotte to capture our day.

Surprise Wedding!

Charlotte has produced a sensational gallery of photographs of our wedding. She could not have been more helpful and responsive to our wishes. She completely captured the joy of our special day better and both her formal and informal shots are beautiful. The image quality is superb and her unobtrusive manner enabled us to get the shots we wanted without if feeling intrusive. I can not thank her enough for creating an album of photos we will treasure for ever. I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a photographer for their wedding.

Charlotte was the most perfect fit for us.

We found Charlotte on Hitched and really liked her portfolio. After an initial call with her if was obvious she was right for us, she was friendly and accommodated us at reduced hours to suit our budget.

As we grew closer to the wedding day we saved some pennies elsewhere and wanted to increase the hours we had Charlotte to be full day. Charlotte happily agreed and explained she only ever does one wedding a day regardless of how many hours she is hired for.

In the lead up to our wedding she was responsive and answered all our questions quickly. Our final call before the day was relaxed and friendly and exactly what we needed as the pre wedding nerves kicked in.

On the day Charlotte arrived on time and made sure to introduce herself to everyone needed. The day went perfectly and this couldn't have been done without her efforts to rally guests around, keep us relaxed during our poses photos of just us and just generally being excellent with all our guests. We made it clear we wanted lots of pictures of our guests just enjoying themselves including the children and she did not disappoint.

We were so happy with our sneak peak pictures, and upon arrival of the remaining pictures could not be happier with what Charlotte managed to capture on our day.

We would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

Thank you Charlotte!

Fabulous - Charlotte was organized, flexible, patient, and unobtrusive.

Charlotte was recommended to us by a friend, I had actually met her at their wedding too and had recalled her being brilliant at getting everyone together which was a feat as it was a large wedding. She managed to capture all the guests in one shot without it looking very staged. Charlotte is very professional and obviously knows what she is doing, she knows what works and what doesn't along with being very easy to get on with very relaxed all the time. We really didn't need to give much instruction to her, she arrived and was shooting from the start and knew what was needed. We wanted a mix of both formal and informal shots which Charlotte did with ease. She was so patient with us and worked hard to complete all of our requests even the weird ones! We had an entertainer that Charlotte liaised with to make the most of our setting and games including photo games to capture all the guests. In between the more formal takes Charlotte was very unobtrusive and captured some brilliant "in the moment" shots. I would definitely recommend her to any one getting married. Throughout she was always been very responsive and clear with any communication.

Charlotte and her team did a terrific job!

Charlotte Atherton did an incredible job of capturing every key moment of our wedding this summer at Polhawn Fort. Charlotte and her team managed to document wedding preparations (for two brides) while also capturing special moments of the guests arriving which was wonderful. We really love the natural style of her photography and are very pleased with the results. Charlotte is friendly professional and approachable. Thank you!

Amazing photographer!

We heard about Charlotte through a family friend and after seeing her photos, we booked her straight away. Charlotte is everything you want on your wedding day. Calming, professional, invisible and so reassuring. We didn't even notice her there most of the time but the photos she has captured are beautiful! She was brillaint at organising everyone for individual and group photos and made sure she got all the photos we asked for (even adding more in on the day).

We are not people who like taking photos, yet Charlotte made us both feel so at ease and captured a lot of natural photos which we asked for. We can not fault Charlotte or the photos she has taken! I would recommend Charlotte to any brides to be if you want someone who is amazing at their job and will go above and beyond for you! Thank you Charlotte, we are so happy we booked you for our wedding! ❤️

Wedding photos

I booked Charlotte as my photographer for my big day, me and my husband were very nervous, Charlotte arrived on time to start the photos off me getting ready and walking to the isle, Charlotte took us to some amazing sights in the area to get the best photos, what I loved the most was we were not made to pose, all photos were natural what we both loved, thank you again Charlotte for the amazing time we had and amazing photos

5 star photography!!

Absolutely amazing! We needed a photographer last minute and Charlotte was able to accommodate all of our needs. Stunning pictures throughout and really thoughtful of our children as part of our special day. Extremely professional and friendly, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone! Even carried the bride across sharp stones when she was barefoot from the beach!!! 5* all round, thank you for helping to make our day special.

A fabulous individual with a great eye.

Charlotte was brilliant before, during, and after our wedding. She helped with advice on other suppliers in the region, and was a great support to my bride on the morning of the event. Afterwards, communication remained great (including about entirely unrelated topics). I highly recommend Charlotte for your wedding.

Just fantastic!

We hired Charlotte to photograph our small, intimate wedding we had in Mawgan Porth, Cornwall. From the very beginning, Charlotte was very happy to get an idea of what you wanted and provide the information without being pushy, she was always happy to have a chat if you wanted to check in and make sure everything was OK. On the day, she arrived early, was very organised and professional and had several back up plans in case something were to happen. She had various photo ideas and was happy to take any additional photo's you wanted. We received our proofs within days and our final gallery within a week! I highly recommend Charlotte and cannot fault her professionalism or organisation!
