Galileo Photography

The Man. The Myth. The Legend. Its hard to find praise that Charles has not yet received. His impressive feedback on multiple channels is an accurate reflection of his skills as a photographer and his kindness as a person. The Man. We met Charles at a wedding fair, and much like our meeting as a couple, we knew immediately: he was the one. We did thorough research and met plenty of other wonderful photographers, but we found ourselves always coming back to Charles. We had quite an unusual wedding in a wildlife park, 300 miles from where we live. So we had quite a challenge on our hands when considering a photographer that would be willing to travel, was able to photograph both humans and animals, and would be able to document a day in a venue they have never been to before. None of these swayed Charles - quite the contrary! The idea was met with (a lot of) excitement, professionalism, and on-hand solutions to make the day and the photos as epic as possible. The Myth. Cliches aside, he is a kind, friendly and approachable person who was loved not only by us, but by everyone at the wedding - as evidenced by the sheer volume of selfies we saw that he was included in! If, like us, this is your first time getting married, his experience and knowledge of weddings is exceptionally helpful, and his calm, professional demeanour really helped us along with firstly planning the day, and also making sure that timings were met on the day. Lets just say, Charles instilled a lot of calmness in the brides mind as the bridal party were getting ready and made sure the groom was awake and dressed on time, as the grooms party can never be 100% trusted. The Legend. Yes. Yes he is! What did we get? Excellent communication with super speedy replies - from big stuff to little stuff. A pre wedding photo shoot to calm the nerves and get us more comfortable and natural behind the lens. Start to finish documentation of our special day. The perfect balance of staged photos (pre planned) and candid moments. A speedy turnaround on a sneak preview of wedding photos, while we were on our honeymoon. Unrestricted access to all of our awesome edited digital photos. Work in progress with our gorgeous bespoke Italian photo album. Many cuddles with Charles very enthusiastic lovable dog. Too many laughs. A friend for life.

We have nothing but good things to say about Charles at Galileo Photography! Everything from the initial meeting through to putting together our wedding album has been done with a warm, friendly professionalism. We were very happy with our excellent wedding photos from Froyle Park, and on the day Charles was calming and discrete. His enthusiasm for the nuances and special moments of the day was resoundingly positive and he's been so accommodating.

Charles is amazing! We highly recommend him! My husband and I chose Charles to be our photographer after our initial zoom meeting (covid times) and we could not be more pleased! We instantly connected and felt he was the right person to photograph our wedding. Charles did a pre-shoot with us to make sure we were comfortable in front of the camera and with him, and he was very accommodating! On our wedding day, Charles was brilliant. He was so approachable with all of our guests and they loved him! The photos he took were stunning! We could not be more pleased with them. He also was super quick with sending across the photos to us which was amazing! We spent almost a whole day working through our wedding Album with Charles. He was very patient with us (or me I should say ha) and made sure our album was perfect. And we could not be happier with the album. It is absolutely STUNNING.

We can't recommend Charles enough! Charles has been absolutely fantastic to work with; he made us feel very comfortable and at ease from the start, and we couldn't be happier with how our photos from the day turned out. Charles has managed to capture so many different aspects of the day, you'd think there was more than one of him! We have received lots of compliments from our guests about beautiful the photos are. Charles has always been incredibly responsive, helpful and reliable. We would absolutely 100% recommend Charles as a wedding photographer.

We got in touch with Charles to photograph our wedding and he couldnt have been more accommodating and supportive throughout. He arranged a photo shoot prior to the day to ensure we knew how it worked and get to know us so we were comfortable working together. He helped guide us with photo groups and arranging people in groups to get the best photos possible. He let us spend time with guests and got lots of natural photos, as well as spotting good lighting and photo opportunities for more formal photos. We couldnt be happier that we chose Charles for our photographer and are so pleased with the photos. We cant wait to receive our final album!
