About Charles Bristow, the man behind the lens……..

Charles Bristow’s love affair with photography began in his formative years of Middle School as an amateur photographer for the 4H Club. Fascinated by the technical “magic of film and darkroom” Charles spent hours mastering the technical aspects of photography and in the process fell in love with the art form.

As a result of his early passion for the art of imagery, he further mastered his craft as a Freelance Photographer while a student at South Carolina State University, photographing countless athletic events and student portraits.

After obtaining a Bachelors of Science degree at the University, he continued to work in the photographic arena providing images for families, fashion, children and weddings. Remaining true to his craft and skill, Charles has been photographing weddings for decades and considers it to be one of the highest honors to be requested to capture such a auspicious moment in a family’s life. Charles is a photojournalist in the sense that he strives to inconspicuously capture the story of Your Day through his images. He views weddings as unique because they are so full of wonderful and full of unexpected moments. Charles thrives on the challenge of finding those special moments and capturing them without disturbing the privacy of the moment.

During recent years, he has expanded his portfolio to include photographing some major Fashion Events  to include :  DC Fashion Week, Northern VA Fashion Week, Charlotte Seen Fashion Week, Charlotte NC Fashion Week, Charleston Fashion Week and Hautelanta Fashion Week as well as worked for numerous Designers.  He loves the runway and the demand of creativity it takes to capture a design for a Designer.

In addition to weddings, Charles’ portraiture also includes Executives, Fashion, Seniors, Families, Athletic and special events.

His professional affiliations include:

Ø     Wedding & Portrait Photographers International

Ø     Professional Photographers of America

Ø     South Carolina Professional Photographers of America

Ø     International Freelance Photographers Organization- as a Master Photographer

When not behind the camera, he enjoys taking to the highway on his motorcycle with camera in tow to capture the wonders of Nature.

You try to hold on to that day, but the smell tries to linger.  The taste fades.  The laughter and lights dim.  The photograph doesn't.  Hire a Professional to cover your Event so that you memories will last forever.

If you don't invest in yourself, why should someone else?

A wedding album is your FIRST family heirloom!
Your maternity/child portrait album is your SECOND heirloom!
Your THIRD family heirloom is your family album.

Don't allow amateurs to attempt to compile an heirloom that you will pass on to your children or grand children.

Being a Professional means more than having a business card, camera and lights.

Since memories are priceless , why do people continually entrust their fondest wedding memories to a "Friend" or non-Professional? Or seek out the CHEAPEST deal?

My journey as a Photographer has been very enlightening. It has fueled my Passion for this Art in numerous ways.  Allow it to fan my internal flames of creativity.

I enjoy specializing in capturing the precious moments of weddings.  A wedding is full of once in a lifetime moments waiting to be captured.

Customer Service is the MOST important link in a business. Don't confuse the social butterfly with a business that attends to Your needs as an individual.

Through consultations with my Client, I attempt to provide quality images that are compelling and unique. Nothing is more important than providing what they want and listening to what they have to say. I keep in mind that I work for my Client. That way I provide what they need and not what I want to give them.

New BEGINNINGS!

I remember that my first camera was a Kodak Instamatic. The kind of camera that had the cube disposable flashes. lol! I received it when I was in Jr High. I just could not put it down. My parents used to ask me to come to dinner without it.

Promoting success

ALWAYS attempt to remain positive in ALL you do.

Maintaining and expanding Customer Care is crucial. What may be a mall detail to you, may be 


significant to a Client.
