Charles Schoenberger Photography

My wife and I hired Chuck to take engagement photos and to shoot at our wedding.
To start, he has a refined eye for photography and does not hesitate to get the shot he’s after. Even making the smallest adjustments completely changes the outcome of a photo and Chuck is able to see those opportunities and run with them on the spot, making his photos feel both honest and true to the moment, but purposeful as well. That’s a hard thing to do and a lot to juggle but Chuck pulls it off effortlessly.
He listens intently and makes your priorities his own without sacrificing the quality of his work. He’s both a diligent shot planner yet takes great candid photos and is constantly on the move looking for the next shot.
Chuck captured all of the best moments of our wedding and we are happy to have such great photos to remind us of them.
Lastly, and most importantly, Chuck is a wonderfully nice, thoughtful, easy to work with guy and has a warm glow about him. He puts you at ease and that makes for much more natural photo results. He’s always up for a laugh and we look forward to working with him again some day. Thanks again Chuck!

All I can say is WOW!!! I rarely take the time to write reviews, and while most of these reviews are for portrait pictures I have had the pleasure of working with Chuck on several occasions, all for business related product and team photography.
He has done an absolutely amazing job photographing our various products at our company (one of which I will get him to upload so you guys can see how amazing it is) and I have been extremely impressed with them all. Chuck combined multiple elements from a plexiglass base to get the perfect reflection to a glycerin spray on the product to make it look wet and refreshing (we manufacture beverages). His use of lighting is better than any I have seen and perfectly highlighted the form factor and shape of the products. After his first product shoot he made it seem so easy that we actually attempted it in house to save money because we though we could duplicate it and our shots were significantly inferor to Chucks and we immediately went back for all additional product shots.
Any small business owner looking to highlight their product for marketing materials or e-​commerce sales I would HIGHLY recommend working with Chuck. Not only is he an extremely talented photographer that will make your product look ready for mainstream, he is also incredibly enjoyable to work with. he is a very funny guy and is always all smiles — it has been an absolute pleasure thus far and we plan on continuing to work with him for years to come!

Charles participated in a holiday fundraiser for the Animal Rescue Foundation and took a fantastic photo that became almost everyone’s favorite Christmas card of the season (not that it’s a competition, of course).
In addition to being an extremely talented photographer, he seems like a very warm and thoughtful person.
Next time I need a professional photographer, I’ll definitely have him in mind.

I saw a friend’s high quality, magazine ready pictures and had to know who did them. Soon enough I was introduced to Chuck.
On what most have been the windiest day in 2012, Chuck did amazing professional pictures for my campaign for city council. I received hundreds of compliments from everyday citizens about the quality of my photos, their freshness and the inviting portrayal they gave me. He knows how to make everyone in a shoot relaxed and engaged even as the wind whips around them.
I was so impressed that I asked him to be the official photographer of the College Track graduation at Electronic Arts. The CT graduation is regarded as one of the top 10 high school graduation celebrations in the country. Chuck brought an incomparable discipline and extremely engaging demeanor to a herculean task. 160 plus 18 year olds & their photo-​snapping happy parents were hard to corral. The pictures are up on his website and remain a wonderful hallmark for all those involved.
I swear by Chuck & his studio & he remains my goto for all my events & professional photography needs. Don’t go wrong, go with this man.

Charles is a pelasure to work with and very professional. His attention to detail show in his work and attitude! the best of the best!
As a make up artist, i appreciate his artistic creativity and love for his work!

Best photographer I’ve ever worked with! Charles really takes the time to get the most out of you! I’ve never been in a studio for so long before and have a photographer be so open minded to posing, lighting, props, makeup hair ect.
Charles really has a passion and an eye for a great photograph. Many who I have worked with took no more than 50 shots and said okay see ya I’ll send you copies of a few pics! That’s not the case with Charles!
Working with him– I felt comfortable! And I felt like he actually cared (because he does!)
Highly recommend Charles!!!

So we got engaged and i immediately started looking for a photographer to capture this milestone in my life. A friend of mine suggested Chuck and after some research, i decided I would give him the job. Let me tell you, I am so happy I found chuck. I thought he was going to come with a camera and some lenses. No!!! He showed up with multiple cameras, a generator, different types of flash machines, a fog machine (we took themed photos) and an assistant to make sure that we always looked our best in every shot. He took the most beautiful photos of us. Every little detail came out perfectly. I felt like a model and more importantly chuck was so fun to work with my husband (fiancé then) had a great time too.
Since the engagement photos, I got married and one thing led to another and i was not able to hire chuck as my wedding photographer. That was the biggest mistake. I am not happy with my wedding pictures. I love my engagement pictures over my wedding pictures and if i could do it all again i would reschedule the wedding in order to have chuck there. Till this day the photos that I share with people and that are on my social sites are the ones chuck took. i even crop my husband out of some of them and use them as my professional shots.
