Internationally Acclaimed Helena WEdding Photographers
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.

Wedding photographer in Helena MT
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.

FAQ’s
Where Do You Serve?
While our primary focus is on weddings in Southwest Montana, including Helena, we also travel across Montana and nationwide. Our farthest destination to date has been Chicago, but we are always excited for new adventures, no matter where in the world they may take us!
How many photographers will be at our wedding?
We tailor our photography services to suit the unique needs of your wedding. Sometimes having a second photographer is ideal, especially for larger gatherings, while in other cases, it might feel overwhelming. Generally, for weddings with over 150 guests, we recommend a second photographer to ensure comprehensive coverage.
When is the best time to book?
If Charles Moll Photography feels like the right fit for your big day, it’s best to book as soon as possible, especially for weddings during the peak season (June-October). To ensure the highest quality of service, we limit our bookings to 20 weddings per year. To secure your date, a signed contract and a retainer are required.
How many Photographs can we expect to receive?
Your final gallery will be filled with numerous photos capturing the joy and emotion of your wedding day. Although every wedding is unique and I can’t promise a specific number, couples typically receive between 500 and 1000 images, depending on the day’s duration and activities.
Will You be Photographing our wedding?
Absolutely! I personally photograph every wedding we book, ensuring a consistent and high-quality experience. Whether I work solo or with a team, I am deeply committed to each event, pouring my heart into every shot. Each image is meticulously edited by me to maintain the highest standards.
How many hours of wedding photography do you recommend?
As a documentary photographer, my goal is to capture genuine moments as they unfold naturally, which can’t be timed to a strict schedule. I highly recommend opting for “full-day” coverage to avoid the stress of a limited timeframe. Most couples choose this option as it guarantees that every important moment of the day is documented without the worry of time constraints.
