ABOUT ME
Hi lovely person!
It’s great to meet you.
Hi, I’m Charlie!
I have two cats (I’m scared to get a dog in case it prefers my husband to me), I drink my gin with lemonade, I love plants but can’t keep them alive, my favourite colour is pink, I love sequins and disco balls, I can never resist an almond croissant, and I can recite Friends word for word.
When I’m not working or planning my next holiday/DIY project I usually have my head in a book, preferably under a blanket or by the sea.
I often cry behind the camera at weddings (and at TV programmes. And adverts. And at most things really) and I’m a bit of a geek.
I genuinely care that all of my couples have the best time on their wedding day. I often get mistaken for a friend of the couple, which is THE BEST compliment.
My favourite weddings are the ones that reflect the couple’s personalities; whether that’s More is More, or just the two of you in City Hall. My aim on the day is to make you feel comfortable and let you have fun! I’ll carry your drinks, fix your buttonholes, get right into the middle of the dance floor with you, pet your dog, and cry at your speeches, all the while capturing real moments, real joy, real love… and reminding you to eat & drink.
Oh and I hate having my photo taken, so I know exactly how you feel. We’ll get on great!
IT’S ALL ABOUT
the little things
I live in North Cardiff with my husband Mark, our little girl Posy (by name and by nature) and our two rescue cats Missy and Nox. I spend all of our money on holidays, drink copious amounts of tea every day and I am happiest when I’m eating doughnuts by the sea.
LET’S TALK ABOUT
5 things I love
Your day is absolutely NOT about me, but this website is, so here are a few of my favourite things…
Favourite Book…
Recent fave is Bright Young Women, but one of the most beautiful books I’ve ever read has to be The Song of Achilles.
What I’m Listening to…
Currently deep in my Taylor Swift Era, but I’m an elder Emo at heart. Also listening to the Sentimental Garbage and Miss Me? podcasts.
Favourite TV Series…
The Bear, Lost Boys & Fairies (devastatingly brilliant), This Is Us, Friends and early Grey’s.
Favourite Country…
Italy! Sorrento and The Amalfi Coast in particular. Definitely the home of my favourite food!
Perfect Day Out…
Pizza & Who Cult doughnuts on the beach at Southerndown.
A Story of Two Girls Who Fell in Love With Weddings
This story began when Charlie met Hannah.
We were planning our own weddings at the time and both writing for the Welsh wedding blog Cwtch the Bride. We fell in love with wedding photography and trained together at Cardiff Met. When Charlie Met Hannah was formed in February 2017 and we had the immense joy of capturing couples get married for over 6 years.
In 2023 Hannah decided to take a step back from shooting weddings, and now plays a (very) supporting role in the background. Charlie is still offering joyful, vibrant and FUN wedding photography with a totally chilled vibe, and loads of genuine care.
