Voted Bozeman’s #1 wedding Photographer
you are not a carbon copy.
Too often, couples feel awkward and forced into a generic wedding mold. They dedicate so much of their special day to taking photos, only to end up with images that look the same as every other wedding photo plastered on Instagram.
The couples. The poses. The “authentic” moments that look anything but real.
There is MORE to your story.
Whether it’s over a video call or a cup of coffee, I take the time to strategize with you through your planning process while prioritizing what’s most important to you. You will be able to be fully present with your loved ones on your wedding day while I document your authentic selves – whatever that looks like.
So celebrate! Laugh, cry, dance like no one is watching, keep the main thing the main thing.
Show up as YOU, and rest assured, your most precious moments are being captured to last a lifetime.

They didn’t just capture the moment,
they captured the feeling of our wedding day.
international AWARD-WINNING Bozeman wedding photographers
Beauty in the way things are, not how they were forced to be.
When I photographed my second wedding, I found my dream job. Instead of trying to photograph the day how I had seen it done on Instagram countless times before, I became an observer rather than a director. Watching the day happen, I realized the best photographs are often in the moments between you and the people you love. See why we were named the best Bozeman wedding photographers.

FAQ’s
Where Do You Serve?
While many of the weddings we photograph are in Bozeman, we spend many weekends on the road photographing all over Montana and Nationwide at this point the furthest we have photographed is Chicago. That being said we are always ready for a new adventure anywhere in the world!
How many photographers will be at our wedding?
Since every wedding day is unique, we customize our collections to be a perfect fit for you. Sometimes a second photographer makes a lot of sense, while others they may be overwhelming for you and your guests. In general, we recommend a second photographer for weddings with over 150 people
When is the best time to book?
If you think Charles Moll Photography is a good fit for your wedding day, I highly recommend booking ASAP, especially if you are getting married during peak season (June-October). To provide our clients with the best experience possible, we only take 20 weddings per year. To reserve your date we require a signed contract and a retainer.
How many Photographs can we expect to receive?
When you receive your final gallery there will be loads of photos of you and all your loved ones. Since every wedding is different, I can’t give you hard numbers. However, couples generally receive between 500 and 1000 images depending on the length of time I am there and the activities taking place on the wedding day.
Will You be Photographing our wedding?
You bet I will! We are a small studio committed to providing you with exceptional wedding photography. As an artist, every wedding I document whether solo or with a team, I pour my heart and soul into. Every image is individually edited with care by me. This is to ensure the highest level of quality.
How many hours of wedding photography do you recommend?
As a documentary photographer, I am focused on capturing moments. Unfortunately, meaningful moments don’t happen on a set schedule. For a standard wedding day I am a huge advocate of opting for “full-day” coverage. This way you aren’t locked into a set number of hours and your entire day will be documented. A large majority of our couples end up going this way as it is a huge stress relief when building out your wedding timeline since I won’t be leaving until the day is finished.
