Welcome to my Blog!

I am a Norfolk Virginia based wedding photographer and I love my job! For the past 15 years, photographing weddings has been my passion. Capturing the laughter, tears and tender moments of a couples wedding day is still one of my greatest joys. Photographing weddings allows me the unique opportunity to interact with some truly amazing people on one of the happiest days of their lives. It is my goal to create timeless, stylish images that capture the variety and depth of each couple in a friendly and unobtrusive manner.

You can check out some of my most recent images below. To view a portfolio of my images please go to www.charliegunterphotography.com or simply click on the "Portfolio" tab at the top of the screen. If you would like to contact me about photographing your wedding or special event I can be reached at crgunter1@cox.net or 757-287-6872. I am available for world wide travel.

Marina & Brandon

Thursday, August 13, 2009 Posted in Uncategorized

Marina and Brandon had a big fat Greek wedding, and having had one myself I loved photographing every minute of it. They started with a traditional Orthodox ceremony at the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral. They spiced things up at the reception with some amazing Greek food and the authentic sounds of a traditional Greek band - complete with bouzouki. A few hundred of their closest friends and relatives danced late into the evening. It was quite the celebration. I can’t believe I get paid to do this….OPA!!!! 1-1

Carla & Devin

Monday, July 27, 2009 Posted in Weddings

I always get excited when I have the opportunity to photograph a wedding in a new location. Discovering the light, scenery and other nuances of a place where I’ve never photographed always gets my creative juices flowing. Carla and Devin’s wedding at Albermarle Plantation in Hertford, NC was a double bonus. Not only is Albermarle Plantation breathtakingly beautiful, but Carla and Devin and their family and friends were simply wonderful. To top it off, Carla and the entire wedding party looked stunning. The rain held off for a gorgeous outdoor wedding and both families celebrated the bride and groom late into the evening. Thanks to the staff at Albemarle Plantation and DJ On The Side, everything went off without a hitch…just wish golf carts had a “turbo” mode (inside joke). Here are a few of my favorites. 00011 0002 0003 0004 0005 0006 0007 0008 0009 0010 0011 0012

Almost as good as being there myself. Great work. You really have done an amazing job of capturing the details and making everyone look like supermodels.
