Charles was our photographer for our wedding in Beaminster in August 2019 and we couldn't recommend him more highly. From a fun filled pre-wedding shoot on the beach at West Bay, mapping out our plans for the event, co-ordinating the shots on the day itself and finally sending us our amazing pack of photos so quickly afterwards, Charles did everything possible to make our day run smoothly and make us feel at ease throughout. We now have a fabulous set of photographs which capture the highlights and emotions of our day perfectly. Thank you Charles! More...

We looked long and hard to find the right person to photograph our wedding day and Charles was the perfect choice. He was a pleasure to work with, meeting us for a lovely pre-wedding shoot, helping us to plan everything out in the run-up to the big day and then providing us with a beautifully presented final set of photos once we returned from honeymoon. On the day itself he put us at ease right from the start, blending in seamlessly with our guests and other suppliers. We were really impressed at the way he worked with the bridesmaids and ushers to guide us all smoothly and very efficiently through the organised group photos but were also so pleased with his gorgeous candid shots of some really lovely moments during the day. Thank you Charles, we will treasure these photos for a long time to come! More...

Charles Thorne Photography is just the very best one could hope for. Charles ensured we were all comfortable and relaxed before starting the photo shoot. The friendly, warm atmosphere he created ensured our photographs were superb. The lighting and background he chose for us could not have been better. Thank you so much Charles for an excellent job, would recommend this photographer unreservedly. Carol Brooke More...

There is not a nicer, more professional or more skilled photographer than Charles. He became a real friend to us! Passionate about people and photography, he's just incredible. And we hardly noticed him on the day! You won't find anyone better than Charles. More...

Charles is an incredible photographer and you instantly feel at ease with him around on your special day. He did the photography for my brother's wedding on Saturday, and we particularly loved his ability to get beautiful and natural shots. Thank you for everything Charles!

We have seen Charles' work at 3 of our friends weddings and decided we would book him for ours. The best decision ever. Before the big day we met with Charles a couple of times to discuss the day and what he would be doing.
Charles even gave us a lesson in how to pose for pictures!!
Charles spent the day with us, the morning with me whilst I was getting ready and then all day just past the first dance. You wouldn't even know he was there. He even took us to mudeford quay for some photos after our food as the light was perfect.
We can't wait to see the shots he has taken, the couple he showed us on the camera were fantastic.
I would definitely recommend Charles Thorne Photography to anyone needing a photographer
Thank you for creating the photo memories of our special day
Love Matt and Claire Tranter. Xx

What a lovely man and fabulous photographer. We had a family photo shoot with Charles, which was a huge success, due to his professional, calm and warm persona. My 14 year old son was ‘reluctant’ to have his photo taken before hand, but you wouldn’t know by looking at the photos as Charles made him feel comfortable, at ease and made it fun!! He ended up having a wail of a time. I would highly recommend!!! Thank you � More...

We absolutely LOVE the photos Charles took of our wedding at Highcliffe Castle. We will certainly have our work cut out trying to decide which to include in the album he's creating for us, but we're already working on it and are so happy to have them all to keep to remember our special day. Not being able to be everywhere at all times throughout the day, we also now have some new moments to be able to remember that we would otherwise have missed, so HUGE thanks again for capturing all of our loved ones and happy memories so incredibly well. We will treasure these for a lifetime. Lots of love, Dan & Maria xx More...

We would definitely recommend Charles, he made getting up and out of the house by 645am on a Sunday morning worth while! He was professional, friendly and fun, my 10 month old absolutely loved him and he had her smiling with ease. We absolutely love the photos, really relaxed and natural which is exactly what I wanted. Thank you so much Charles, really appreciate everything x More...
