| Business Description |
 |
I offer photojournalistic wedding photography throughout California
from my studio in San Jose.
I take a storytelling approach to photography. The concept is simple.
Just be yourself.
Celebrate... Laugh… Cry… Revel in your exhilarating day.
I'll capture it.
The photos should convey – ignite – provoke– relay - the mood and
expressions of the moment, the action. I look for genuine and
spontaneous connections between people and find instances which
may not be obvious, but taken as a whole, compliments the entire
story.
A photographer only has a split second to capture the
essence of a fleeting telling moment, the glimmer of a look, the spark
or glow of light at an angle.
I will capture the soul and spirit and zeal of your big day and relay
your stories powerfully and elegantly.
Call me to reserve your wedding date. I look forward to meeting and
working with you! - charles

This is my fourth year in business. I have photograph about 200 weddings in that time period. My great business growth in such a short time has exceeded my expectation thanks to the many referrals I have received from people who have raved about my photography and my passion for what I do. You can read the testimonials for yourself on my website. |

I like to tell a story through the camera's lens. My style is photojournalistic with a glamour and artistic flair. |

Yes! I shoot in both color and black and white. I make those decisions based on what I'm trying to convey with the images. |
|
| Q. |
Do you use digital or film? |

By preference, I shoot digitally with a high resolution professional camera system. It is so much more flexible and juggling film, and for that reason alone, it is far superior for my style of potography. |

Usually you will be able to view the prints online two or three weeks after your wedding. From there is up to you to choose the pictures that you want printed. |
|
| Q. |
What makes you different from other photographers? |
| |
I truly care about creating very special images for your wedding day. Photography is an art for me and I take great pride in producing images that are both beautiful and timeless. I don't put a limit on the hours I spend covering your wedding. My goal is to produce an end product that shows off and documents your special day and tells a wonderful story. |
