instead of focusing on documenting the moment

because lets be real, that's my job. no pressure, just enjoying what's happening around you. whether its an elopement or a wedding, I will be moving around capturing small and big moments that you didn't even think of and dont know is happening. Wanting a small, intimate backyard wedding in Muskoka? What about a 3 day adventure elopement almost anywhere you could dream? Whether it's inside the box, or outside the box, lets document it from start to finish.

charma was spot on with the vibe we wanted

warm, dreamy, cinematic — accurately depicting our intimate wedding. She was really committed to getting the best shots, even stepping into the cold river to capture us on our dock.

Highly recommend you hire her for your wedding or elopement in Muskoka (or wherever). She'll make you feel comfortable and worry-free on your special day.

questions?

we are awkward infront of the camera

me too... honestly. No stress, I know just how to combat that. Typically I do take a few posed photos (the ones grandma always wants to hang up on the wall) and then once the icebreakers are done, I move to a system called "prompts". These encourage natural reactions and movements without leaving "what do we do" in your head. I GUIDE you through portraits, not push you!!

Do you only service Muskoka?

Nope! I live here, however I am ALWAYS travelling. If you have a venue booked, or are thinking of planning an elopement anywhere, Im here to help and would love to see that Pinterest board.

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR PHOTOGRAPHIC STYLE?

I tend to shoot very documentary style, kinda popping around everywhere during the day capturing in between moments. As for the photos themselves, I edit true to life, with a little bit of warmth and film inspired nostalgia mixed in... to keep them timeless and beautiful when you look back at them in 10+ years, and for many generations to come.

How many images will I get in my gallery? What is your turnaround time like?

On top of your sneak peaks you get in 48 hours, your full gallery depends on what service you have booked. Proposals, engagements, couples are usually 60+ photos in 3 weeks. Elopements and wedding photo count usually depends on how long your coverage is for. I never limit my galleries though, what I shoot, you get. No hidden fees!

couldn't be happier

My fiancé and I had the pleasure of working with Charma for our engagement photoshoot at Hardy Lake Provincial Park in Muskoka, and we couldn't be happier with the experience and the results!

From the start, Charma was incredibly personable and made us feel completely at ease. Her energy was unmatched, and she brought so much positivity to the day. As this was our first professional photoshoot, we didn’t know what to expect—Charma made the entire process feel effortless.
