    Wow, Reverend Charles Gilmore was the perfect officiant for our wedding day. He helped us to design…read morea ceremony that we both loved with the religious elements and elements we requested, helping with the court documentation as well. He is professional and personable, and he can adapt on the spot as needed. I highly recommend him and his services! Thank you!!!

    Reverend Charles HAS 40+ YEARS OF EXPERIENCE OFFICIATING WEDDINGS! And we are glad we chose him to…read moreofficiate our special day. First Star: When our original clergyman backed out 4 days prior to the wedding, we were frantic. A friend, whom used Rev. Charles for their wedding, referred us to him. We called him and he said he would do the job, even though it was last minute. Second Star: He came and met us at our home the following day in order to go over the ceremony. We instantly hit it off with him and felt very comfortable with his professional attitude and his personable charm. We were actually kind of glad the original clergyman had bailed because Rev. Gilmore was a way better fit for us! Third Star: Even though we were on such a tight timeline, Rev. Charles used his years of experience to create a custom ceremony for us. He asked very poignant questions and made helpful suggestions that allowed us to build a ceremony that we felt showcased who we were as a couple. And since we wanted a less religious ceremony but come from religious families, Rev. Gilmore helped us carefully toe the line. Fourth Star: Reverend Charles Gilmore showed up on time for the ceremony and promptly prepared. Upon seeing I was nervous he quickly put me at ease with some kind words. Rev. Gilmore then led the ceremony beautifully and his words and scripture readings were perfect. Our families really liked him and they loved the ceremony! Fifth Star: I would like to say everything went well and without a hitch but, alas, something must always go wrong. Fortunately for us, when it did go wrong, Rev. Gilmore was patient and understanding. Amidst all of the chaos, my wife and I had forgotten to pick up our marriage license. So when we did get it from the court a few days later, Reverend Gilmore kindly came over to our house for a second time and signed our license with our witnesses present. IT IS YOUR SPECIAL DAY, I RECOMMEND YOU HIRE A PROFESSIONAL LIKE REVEREND CHARLES GILMORE. YOU WILL BE IN GOOD HANDS!

    I am going to try to be as neutral in this review as possible. The conversation started off as…read moreexpected; details such as when, where, pricing, and expectations. There was a slight disappointment when they charged an extra $25 because they communicated last years pricing, but not worth getting bent out of shape over. Approximately 2 months before the date, we were having an email exchange. Mind you, we are under the 100 day mark until the big event. During this email exchange, the officiant asked if we could move the ceremony up earlier. We tried gently to assuage her apparent fears of the sunset time and lighting affecting our photographs, informing her that our photographer knew how to handle low lighting. When that didn't seem to stop the insisting of moving it up, we very clearly told her that everything we had sent out already had an agreed upon time, including the vendor contract between them and us, and even more importantly, our invitations. We very clearly stated that we would start at the time we already agreed upon. Fast forward to 2 days before our wedding. The officiant was talking to our day-of coordinator before we arrived for a quick meeting. She tried to convince the DOC to move our times up... 2 DAYS BEFORE THE WEDDING!!! And what is worse, this conversation took place without us present. Thankfully, our DOC said no. This is the epitome of unprofessional and a cardinal sin to try to impose on a bride 48 hrs before their wedding. We are now at 1 day before the wedding. We don't know what we are doing, because we have never been married before. We are doing the rehearsal, and honestly, it didn't feel like we had a good coordination to make things happen. On the day of the ceremony, the readings were beautiful and lovely, we got to pick them out ourselves and tailor make our ceremony. This sounds awesome until.... SHE SAID MY NAME WRONG!!! Both of us had to correct her in order for her to understand that she said it wrong. It was very disappointing in the moment. Overall, I'm very disappointed at this officiant and wouldn't recommend at all. Find someone who respects your contracts, doesn't try to undercut your wishes, and can say your name correctly.

    I recently used Chris to photograph our condo in OC, MD. This is an investment property for us…read more We communicated through text and email. He took pictures of our condo in a timely manner. I paid for the pictures, without paying much attention to them (my fault). After my wife and property manager voiced their disappointment with the quality of the pictures I contacted Chris to see if he would be willing to stop by the condo and take some additional pictures. He said because it was 2 weeks after the session and I had downloaded the pictures that he was unwilling to take any additional pictures. That is his right but I think it is bad business. He lives there. It would take a relatively small investment of his time and resources to make a customer happy. His website says up to 100 pictures for the package. I received 82. I asked if he would take an additional 18 to bring it to the 100 mark. He said no, which again is his right because he noted his site says "UP TO" 100 pictures for the package. One last thing that stood out was the difference in price that he quoted me $350 and the site on his site which is $300. He did it for $300 but the difference in the quote and the site prices was questionable. I would just think in the industry of photography, that is almost completely service driven, what I asked for to make the situation better was not a very big ask. I would be more than happy to share the pictures with anyone that would like to see them and make up their own mind about the quality. In addition to my wife and property manager, the first person we had in the condo said "the pictures don't do the place justice". That really says it all!

    Highly recommend! We…read morealmost didn't make the session due to very high winds. Chris was honest and suggested we reschedule but we only had one more day in Ocean City so we took a chance. Our photos came out amazing. He did an incredible job, it was a fun session for the boys (6 and 4 years old) and made us feel very comfortable. Chris is very professional, creative, great to work with, has excellent communication and has a great sense of humor especially with kids. Thank you again for capturing these special photos. We will have this memory for a lifetime.
