    "Straight out of a movie"

    C Wagner Photography & Design LLC was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Their communication was clear, organized, and incredibly responsive throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was exceptional - the photos captured our special day perfectly, exactly how we had envisioned. They made our wedding day at City Hall flawless and easy with their expertise and familiarity with the process. Cherlyn's documentary-style photography style resulted in beautiful, candid shots that we will cherish forever. We couldn't be happier with C Wagner Photography & Design LLC and highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding

    "An extension of our community"

    Cherlyn is a dream. A friend of ours recommended her to us for our engagement photos and I swear she has some inside scoop with the sun because the lighting was insane (in a good way). She literally managed to find every single shimmer the golden hour had to offer. My husband (never gets old) and I pulled together a somewhat last minute ceremony and reached out equally last minute to see if she was available, and thankfully she was. Our ceremony was followed by dinner and drinks at two separate locations hours apart - so we had super low expectations for capturing the whole day. Cherlyn not only came to each location, she helped with set up, and did her thing making sure every special moment was photographed. She's personable, thoughtful and will go out of her way to make you and your partner feel comfortable. For us she felt like an extension of our community and a new friend. If you're in the SF Bay Area, look no further. You won't be disappointed.

    "Cherlyn brings the magic!"

    Cherlyn was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From our very first interaction, the she was warm, and responsive, which immediately put us at ease. The quality of her work was truly exceptional - intimate, natural, and she beautifully captured all the little moments and details we didn't even know to savor. Beyond just the photography, she also generously helped us find a day-of coordinator who saved us from ourselves! We are so grateful for her time, energy, and talent, which made our special day even more perfect.

    "So very grateful for Cherlyn!"

    Working with Cherlyn has been an absolute pleasure! She has taken our engagement, wedding, and family photos, which have all turned out beautifully. She communicates clearly, has incredible attention to detail, completed absolutely everything on time, and takes the most perfect photos. I continue to return to Cherlyn for any photography needs - she’s the best!
