ABOUT ME
Hello, I'm Carlton aka CJ
PHILADELPHIA BASED • WORLDWIDE AVAILABLE
THE PHILOSOPHY
I DON'T BELIEVE YOU
HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN
AUTHENTIC AND EXTRAORDINARY.
Your photographs can feel genuine and look incredible. They can be emotional and editorial. They can be carefully directed without looking overly posed.
That's what I love about wedding photography. There is always something real happening beneath the beautiful details.
My job is to recognize it, guide you when necessary, and create something you'll still love decades from now.
YOUR EXPERIENCE ON CAMERA
YOU DON'T HAVE TO KNOW HOW TO POSE.
Most of my couples tell me they're 'super awkward' in front of the camera. That's completely okay.
I use prompts, movement, interaction, and direction to help you feel comfortable and create photographs that look natural, confident, and elevated.
The goal isn't to make you perform for the camera. It's to help you forget the camera is there.
