Services
Our engagement sessions usually take 45 minutes to an hour; we capture a large number of images that can be used for newspaper announcements, save-the-date cards and one of our Engagement Guestbooks. These images can also be used in the final wedding album. Childers Photography has a commercial printing division which means that our wedding couples have access to some of the best custom designed save-the-date cards. When our clients purchase their save-the-date cards from us, we will create the images at no charge when the session takes place at our studio.
Your wedding photography is the only item created on the wedding day that will last for generations and you should be proud to share them with family and friends. Only by visiting the studio and viewing actual examples of the images and the albums can you be sure that you are making the correct choice for your precious memories.
We have several very economical plans that allows the couple to decide their needs and budget. If the wedding is on a day other than Saturday, we have special pricing and discounts. For "weekday" weddings, we can negotiate a price that should suit your budget. We are Digital Specialists. You will have the best of the latest technology and the most modern and creative ideas possible.
We will give you a 20% discount off your invitations regardless of whom you choose to do your photography (i.e., we do NOT have to be your photographer for the discount to apply). But you will actually get a larger discount if you hire us to photograph your wedding. We do not use discount "layers" (i.e., different discounts on each item), you will get 20% off everything not just certain items.

All of the above! Childers photographed my parents wedding and we were quick to book them for mine. They are knowledgeable and experienced but are up to date on all the latest trends in photography. They were so easy to work with and kept us on schedule while maintaining all the fun! Book them for anything.

We used Childers for our Engagement and Wedding photos. We are so impressed with the quality of their work. Chuck and Mary are a delight to work with. We got so many compliments on how amazing our photographers were and all the great moments they captured. I can't wait to have them take more pictures for our next special occasion.

They are the best photography company in the Dayton area! Must use if you are in need of anything photography wise. I worked with Mary mostly and she was so kind, helpful and hardworking. I would definitely use them again! Chuck is awesome for questions and helpful when I needed it! Great company!

AMAZING! Mary and Chuck are the greatest people to work with. They make everything fun. For two people who hate taking photos they actually made me look forward to taking them. I am absolutely in love with what they were able to do with many last minute changes. They braved the cold to take beautiful pictures and did it with a smile. I plan to never use another photographer in my life if I can help it

We hired Childers Photography for our wedding. From beginning to end, they were outstanding to work with. We met with Chuck at the beginning to discuss packages and options, and we felt very comfortable asking him questions about how the wedding day would go and what to expect afterwards. Although Chuck didn't end up being our photographer, Mary and her team were just as outstanding! Mary was awesome on the day of our wedding helping us get positioned and coming up with great ideas for shots, and her assistant photographer was out capturing all the little details.

It was wonderful having photographers that we didn't have to worry about. We haven't seen the final pictures yet but some of the proofs they showed us during the reception we are excited to see the final outcome of! Thank you Childers and Mary!

We looked at 4 different options for photography for our June wedding. As the mother of the bride, I was responsible for finding the best. Childers was by far the best suited to handle our needs and wants. Chuck and his staff, specifically Mary, anticipated our needs and then some. Mary's attention to every detail regarding my daughter, the bride, was impressive and seemed to take some of the pressure off of me when it came to making sure the bride was picture perfect.

They were timely and stayed on task the entire day. We had several meetings prior to the big day and I always left satisfied. I even ordered our invitations through Childers and they were perfect. Of course the end product, The pictures, are spectacular!

My fiance and I definitely recommend Childers. They have great plans to choose from depending on your budget. We feel like their prices are reasonable. They respond to us any time we have questions. We recently had our engagement photo session done. They came to our location and every pose or idea we thought of, they captured exactly what we were thinking.

Within a week they gave us preview pics to post on social media and a disc with all of the photos. Within another week of that they had our photo album made. All of our photos turned out better than I ever expected! You can tell Chuck and his team know exactly what they are doing and have been doing it for a long time. We couldn't be more happy with choosing Chuck and his team for our engagement and wedding photographer. We can't wait to see what they do for our wedding!

We love working with Chuck and his staff. They are always very professional and work hard to get as many great shots possible in the time allowed without throwing the timeline off. The attention to detail and their years of experience come through every image they capture.

Childers Photography is absolutely FANTASTIC! When I got married I thought that I could hire one of those photographers that cost only $1300 and get the digital files. I made a big mistake. My sister, because my experience was so bad, hired Childers Photography. As the Maid of Honor, I witnessed firsthand why so many people recommend Childers. The care and attention to detail was amazing.

My sister opted to get an album and the digital files. Her album and prints that she ordered are great; she could not be happier. Our brother had been deployed with the Army so he could not be at the wedding. The artists at Childers used a picture that we gave them; they added him to the family group picture! My whole family and the groom's family could not be happier. We highly recommend Childers to everyone!

Every little boy dreams of his fairytale wedding. Those dreams were shattered by Chuck of Childers Photography. Not only does he lack the rudimentary knowledge behind basic photography, he also made passes at my wife, her brides maids, and my 73 year old grandmother. Please avoid this company at all costs! I would not recommend this man even if he was the last photographer on earth. Also, I think he has a thing for boy butts.

They were phenomenal! I would recommend them to anyone wanting quality, beautiful pictures done by professionally talented people that are very nice, friendly & personable! I can't say enough good about them! My husband & I love our pictures and are so amazed at how easy all the staff from Childers's were to work with! We also got our wedding invites through them & they were beautiful & the process was handled so well also!

Thank you especially to Chuck & Mary who took our pics (everyone in our wedding party loved you both) & Chris who has worked with us with all the ordering! Keep up the good work & we will recommend you as much as we can!
