• Welcome!

    Hello everyone!

    My name is Charro Benteau and this blog is where I keep my latest news and previews into my most recent photography sessions.

    With the beginning of a new season, we decided to update our website and blog with a newer look for us and I hope you enjoy it. 

    Please visit the portfolio section to view our website and I would love to hear from you so please feel free to comment on the blog.

    A big thank you to Charla Maarschalk for the beautiful photographs she took of me and my family that you see to the left. 

Nicole & Nick ~ August 7th, 2010

Congratulations Nicole & Nick!  What a beautiful and happy bride Nicole made,  I’m sure she didn’t stop smiling during the entire ceremony.  Watching Nick & Nicole together it’s not hard to see how much they love each other and with their fantastic family and friends to support them along the way they have an amazing life ahead of them.  Not even the torrential rain we had for about an hour after church could dampen the spirit of the day!   The wedding party was a ton of fun, thank you for putting up with my suggestions and I have to say Nicole and Nick had the most unique “bridal party dance” I’ve ever seen!  Congratulations to the two of you; I wish you and your families and friends all the best in the years to come!  I can’t wait to see you again for your “day after shoot.” 

Deanne & Mitchell ~ August 6th, 2010

Congratulations Deanne & Mitchell!  What a fabulous wedding!   Deanne and Mitchell have amazing families and fantastic friends who filled the day with so much laughter and even a few happy tears.  Deanne & Mitchell are two very special people as those who know them can certainly vouch for.  They have a way of making everyone around them feel instantly welcomed and relaxed that comes so naturally to them.  They both have an amazing sense of humour and soft hearts and you literally had to attend the reception to believe just how hilarious and emotional everyone involved in this special day was.  As you can tell Hockey plays an important part in their lives which added a lot of fun to the day!   Thank you so much to the families for being so welcoming and helpful, it was a day I’ll never forget.  I wish all of you so much joy and happiness in the years ahead!   Deanne & Mitchell, I can’t wait for you to see some of the hockey “outakes”.. If I were Matthew, I’d start running now…:)  I hope you’re enjoying your honeymoon in Vegas!

Jennifer & Trent July 31st, 2010

Congratulations Jennifer & Trent!  Jennifer and Trent are such an amazing couple.  With Jennifer’s infectious smile and bubbly laugh and Trent’s fantastic sense of humour spending time with them is always a lot of fun.   You don’t have to look very far to see where their fantastic personalities and strong family values come from,  Jennifer & Trent’s families and friends were simply amazing!  Jennifer surprised Trent and sang a beautiful and emotional song to Trent at the ceremony that didn’t leave a dry eye in the church.  In all it was a wonderful day and I wish Jennifer & Trent, their families and friends all the best in the years ahead!  

Jennifer and Trent also had a “Day After” session at Cape Spear & Petty Harbour which will be posted in a week or two!

Maria & Brad ~ July 24th, 2010

Congratulations Maria & Brad!  Wow, what a day!  Maria & Brad and their families and friends were such a pleasure to spend the day with.  Everyone was fantastic!  The way Brad and Maria look at each other is a reminder at just how special a wedding day really is.  I wish the two of you so much happiness and love in the future.  Francis and I both feel blessed to have shared in a part of your day.  Thank you again for everything!

Heather & Larry ~ July 10th, 2010

Congratulations Heather & Larry!  Heather and Larry were married on Fogo Island on a beautiful (but very hot) sunny day.  While Fogo is much further than I will usually travel to shoot a wedding, Heather was very convincing and I’m so glad she was.  It was an amazing day and everyone was so welcoming and sweet.  Fogo Island is a beautiful place with some of the nicest people in Newfoundland and if you get a chance to visit there, I highly suggest it!  Thank you Heather & Larry for being so much fun to spend the day with!  Larry, I have to give you an additional nod for being one of the most patient and easy going grooms ever!  Please allow the slideshow a little time to load.   While not the full set of wedding images, it will give you an idea of how Heather and Larry’s wedding day went.  Thank you again for your hospitality and friendship, I wish you, your families and friends all the best in the years ahead!
