It’s been a wonderful Christmas! We got to spend some time with my family in Pennsylvania and the kiddos traveled very well which was a huge blessing. We always kinda dread the trip with our two small kids, but they did really well. We hope you had a wonderful Christmas as well, and were able...
Yearly Archives: 2008
Yesterday was one of my best birthdays ever. I heard from so many old friends that it really made the day (and me =) feel special. Holly spoiled me again with my favorite breakfast – strawberry crepes – and we were able to have a nice long date over steak dinner and then enjoy Australia,...
I’ve had recent experiences with two really ingenious products that I thought I’d share with you. No, I don’t get any kind of residuals or kickbacks from these plugs, I just enjoy passing along tips on cool products. =) The first is an ingenious silicone jacket for your digital camera, called a Snug-It. I bought...
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family, friends and great food! We stuck around and enjoyed Holly’s family for Thanksgiving again this year and were pleasantly surprised when Holly’s oldest brother (Titus) flew back from LA to join us for a few days. It was deliciously relaxing and rejuvenating… the way I...
We’ve had lots of interest in holidays cards for this Christmas and New Year’s so we’ve finally got our act together and put up a gallery of available cards! If you’re interested in cards this year, we’d be delighted to help. We only have two or three session available which will allow you to have...
I love Dilbert comics. Most of the time they’re funny and I just read them through and move on to the next one, but this morning at breakfast I read this one and it made me chuckle out loud, so I thought I’d share it. I think the Dilbert kind of humor has grown over...
This is too funny! Wedding parties ask me all the time, what is the most crazy thing I have ever seen at a wedding. Well… here it is. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U69WlZJQZos] Okay, to be honest I wasn’t there, but that has to be near the top of the list of crazy things to happen at a wedding,...
In case you haven’t noticed, when things get really busy it’s easy for us to skip blogging for several weeks on end. We don’t forget the blog, it just gets prioritized behind other important things like sleeping, eating and working. =) We’ve had a few days of blogging every day now and I’ve read about...
Our web host (Westhost) has been having trouble today (again!) and as a result, our site was down for at least 45 minutes earlier today. Sorry for any inconvenience! … All Photos © Christian Sangree, Prints Charming Photography
Here are some favorites from our most recent proposal session. Up to now, we’ve been hiding for these kinds of proposal sessions, but since Tori set up the session, Brandon was totally able to catch her off guard when he dropped to one knee and held out a diamond ring. I love it! We started...
Just wanted to share some of our favorites from our most recently posted wedding – Craig & Chelsea’s! Craig & Chelsea had us there to photograph their romantic rehearsal dinner lakeside at Pearls/Lakeside Fish Grill right on Lake Hefner and afterwords had reserved the outdoor pavilion for drinks and mingling while enjoying the live band....
Wow, what a wonderful Monday!! Okay, it’s absolutely perfect weather and today was one of my reserved rain dates, so I don’t have anything booked! Does anyone need a family session? this is probably our last available October date (besides 2 other rain dates that can’t be booked ahead). Let us know ASAP and we’ll...
Well, life is just never going to slow down and be less busy, so I suppose we may as well stop talking about how busy things have been and giving excuses for not blogging! =) There’s no way I can catch up and blog the scores of sessions we’ve done the last few weeks, so...
Well, we’re back from a whirlwind week of about four thousand miles, I’m guessing. We started the week off with a much needed break, just Holly and I poolside at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Neither of us had ever been there, but we got a great deal on flights and a really nice...
Just a few shots from a commercial shoot we did today for St. Anthony Hospital. It was a celebration of the rebirth and renaissance of the Midtown area along with an unveiling of the sculpture by the new East entrance. I think the very first shot was my favorite from 180 I shot that half...

Congratulations, Dana & Ryan! I know you’ve been engaged for at least 6 weeks now because it’s been that long since we met about your wedding photography, but you guys rate a public blog congrats. =) We had a really great time shooting Dana & Ryan’s engagement session downtown and I knew it was going...
Last September we had the pleasure of photographing Edgar as he proposed to Tiffany downtown if you recall from our blog about it. We’ve been looking forward to their wedding ever since then and the wait is now officially over! They opted to have us cover the rehearsal and dinner, so we were able to...
I’ve just discovered a solution to a nagging problem and I thought I’d post it in case it’s of help to you photographers out there. If we fill our memory cards completely before changing them out, I’ve found that it frequently causes the loss of a couple of the images towards the end of the...
