This was my company's first time working with Charlie for our annual holiday party, and we would certainly book with him again. He was early to the event, easy to work with, and flexible as the party evolved. He met all of our photo requests and then went beyond our expectations, as well.

Reviews
Charlie came well prepared and was great to work with - I would highly recommend him due to his pleasant personality, professionalism, and integrity. He suggested things I had not even thought of to add value to the project. Great value for the investment.
We are very satisfied with the quality of Mr. McClanahan's work, professionalism, and communication with us. The ideas he implemented from his professional experience gave us lasting recorded memories for our celebration event.
I wanted to share my positive experience working with Charlie. He was terrific throughout the process, paying close attention to all the event details and offering excellent suggestions. I highly recommend him for your events!
Charlie was fantastic to work with for our event! He was responsive, attentive, and thorough. He arrived early and took photos of the space before guests arrived and stayed throughout the entire evening as contracted. He is great at his work, his craft, and his photography. He made our 600 guests feel comfortable and was happy to do whatever was asked of him. I would highly recommend him for any of your photography and/or videography needs. Excellent work, professional rapport, and a wonderful team!
Charlie did a photo shoot of a classic car I will sell. He was easy to plan the shoot, he showed up on time and suggested how to position the vehicle, he was pleasant and friendly, and the photos were incredible. The shoot lasted about 3 hours. Charlie delivered 102 pictures, and I had a tough job selecting those I wanted to accompany my ad. Charlie provided an outstanding experience.
Charlie was superb in every way! His response time was always within minutes! He showed up on time, was very professional, had all the necessary equipment and produced a quality product! His knowledge was only exceeded by the value he provided. I need to mention, my project was a rush job yet, Charlie met all my deadlines. He even came to my home to produce the video I needed. I'd hire him again in a heartbeat!
In addition to getting fantastic results for a great price, Charlie McClanahan was extremely professional, responsive and punctual. He surprised me with some drone shots and did extra versions of the time-lapse video I requested. I sincerely hope I can find more work for Charlie to do for our company!!!
Charlie was awesome from the start! He was quick to respond and very accommodating throughout the whole process. His work is great and he provided the first set of photos within 24 hours of our event. We were very impressed by him and his second photographer, Diana. We love our photos and they made our day even more special! We recommend Charlie for any photography needs!
Charlie was great to work with! He was punctual and had a great eye for detail! Everything was just effortless and he got some great shots! Highly recommend!
