based in Fort Myers, Florida
FOR THE TIMELESS COUPLE who wants natural, and joyful moments, centered on cONNECTION
HONEST MOMENTS. BEAUTIFULLY PRESERVED.
Your photos should feel like you, not a series of stiff poses. I create a relaxed experience where you can be fully present with the people you love while I capture the genuine moments that make your story unique. With gentle guidance and an eye for authentic emotion, you'll receive timeless images that bring you right back to how it all felt.
I’m always looking for the moments in between
The quiet glances, the laughter that fills the room, and the little pieces of your story that make it uniquely yours. Because those are the moments you’ll want to remember long after the day is over.
You’re Not Just Hiring a Photographer. You’re Choosing Someone to Tell Your Story.
hey I’m Charlie!
I'm a wife, mama of three, and the heart behind Charlie Marie Photography. I believe the most meaningful moments in life are almost always the ones you never planned, the happy tears, the quiet glances, the deep belly laughs, and the hugs that linger just a little longer.
My goal isn't just to take beautiful photos. It's to preserve the moments you'll want to relive for the rest of your life.
Too often, couples and families look back at their galleries and realize they spent more time worrying about the timeline, posing perfectly, or checking off a list than simply being present. The moments that mattered most can start to feel rushed instead of remembered.
That's where I do things differently.
From helping create a timeline that gives you room to breathe, to gently guiding you when you need direction and stepping back when you don't, my approach is centered around making you feel comfortable enough to simply be yourselves. The result is a gallery filled with genuine connection, authentic emotion, and the little in-between moments you didn't even realize were happening.
Whether you're celebrating your wedding day, welcoming a new baby, or gathering your family together, these aren't just photos. They're the stories your children will look back on someday. They're the memories that deserve to be preserved exactly as they felt.
If you're looking for more than perfectly posed images, if you want photographs that bring you back to the feeling of the moment, I'd be honored to tell your story.
PHOTOS THAT FEEL LIKE YOUR DAY
Your wedding deserves more than a beautiful gallery.
Beautiful wedding photos are wonderful, but they should feel like you, too.
Too often, the focus is on perfect poses instead of genuine moments, rushed timelines instead of slowing down, and getting the shot instead of experiencing the day.
My approach is different.
Before your wedding, we’ll talk about what matters most to you and build a timeline that leaves room to actually live in the moment. On your wedding day, I’ll guide you when you need it, step back when you don’t, and document your story as it naturally unfolds.
Years from now, I don’t just want you to remember what your wedding looked like. I want you to remember exactly how it felt.
 
Imagine looking back at your photographs and feeling like you can relive every DETAIL...
 
I’m not there to turn your day into a photoshoot. I’m there to celebrate with you, keep things flowing, and capture the moments you didn’t even realize were happening. As your photographer, I’ll be your biggest cheerleader, your calm presence when things get hectic, and your favorite third wheel making sure your story is documented exactly as it felt.
With a thoughtfully created timeline and a relaxed, intentional approach, you can be fully present knowing every meaningful moment is being captured.

Your wedding day was never meant to feel like a photoshoot.
It’s about the way he looks at you when you’re not paying attention, the unexpected tears, your best friend’s laugh, and all the little moments you never want to forget.
That’s why I take on a limited number of weddings each year, to truly get to know you and document your day as it naturally unfolds.
For couples who want photographs that feel honest, timeless, and full of emotion; without spending the day posing or performing for the camera.
You live it. I’ll capture it.
