Hi, I’m Charles! I’m the guy behind the camera who believes the best photos come from real, unscripted moments. For over two decades here in the Bay Area, I’ve been turning little bursts of laughter and genuine connection into lasting memories.

I’ve photographed well over 1,000 weddings — from intimate elopements to grand celebrations with over 1,000 guests — and just about every culture the Bay Area is home to. From Greek, Jewish, and Middle Eastern, to Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese, Mexican, and traditional Western weddings, I’ve been honored to witness and document love in all its beautiful forms.

I’ve worked in majestic redwood forests, windswept beaches, sacred chapels, sun-drenched vineyards, and historic mansions — always chasing light, emotion, and authenticity.

I also specialize in family portraits and professional headshots that feel relaxed, natural, and true to you — no stiff poses, just the real you, at your best.

When I’m not behind the lens, I’m balancing life between two homes and always planning my next trip to visit my fiancée across the ocean in Vietnam.

If you’re looking for photography that reflects the real, joyful you — with a seasoned eye and an open heart — let’s make it happen.
