Jared Charney Photography

We hired Jared as our wedding photographer and have fallen in love with him. He was professional, warm, attentive, funny, relaxed, on top of being an excellent photographer. He won us over with his enthusiasm for being our wedding photographer, and was very considerate about working within our budget. We had a chance to get to know him when we did the engagement pics a couple of months before the wedding — without the pressure of the wedding day — and had a blast taking pictures around Salem. On the wedding day, he was a gem! He was exactly what we asked for: relaxed, appropriately directive when we needed him to be, and blended in with our wedding guests with ease. Even his assistant Matt was wonderful! Family members and guests who interacted with him came up to us after to compliment him to us, so it was clear he charmed more than just me and my husband. We have been thrilled as well with the results/​photos, and have gotten many compliments on our photos from others. We recommend Jared very highly for weddings, or any other event where you may need to have a photographer! Check him out! :)

In choosing a photographer for our wedding, we are not only looking for somebody with great skills and artistic taste, but also a pleasant person to work with, and Jared is a perfect fit for both. It is easy to see that Jared is passionate about what he does and it shows in the photographs he takes.
It also impresses us how Jared actually listened to our specific needs. We have a large family who enjoy photos of a candid nature. Jared and his assistant Matt were nonintrusive during the ceremony and reception, and yet they didn’t miss a thing! The candid shots perfectly captured the moments of the night as well as the personality of everybody. My family is already talking about how they would like to hire Jared for the future family weddings. Overall, we’ll highly recommend Jared, he does an outstanding job. On a side note, the wedding package he offers is a great value as well.

Jared is great! My father and his partner had 2 weeks to plan their wedding and luckily my cousin (a Marbleheader) had Jared’s business card. Booking the date was easy, Jared and his assistant were punctual and extremely professional. As an added bonus, Jared is hilarious and is very good at engaging his subjects without being intrusive.
We were thrilled to see the photos — everything looked wonderful, especially the happy grooms.

We were looking for a wedding photographer in the Salem, MA area and happened upon Jared’s website. His style of photography was exactly what I was looking for. He uses a photo-​journalistic approach, and still maintains beauty and artistry in his compositions. Jared surpassed my expectations, my wedding photos are breathtaking!
Professionally, Jared was very hard-​working, reliable, and communicative. He put us at ease and made us laugh a lot on the day of the wedding. We are so glad we chose him!
