With experience photographing over 500 weddings in diverse settings, our team adapts to changing conditions while maintaining artistic consistency. Clients receive high-resolution digital files with printing rights, along with a private online gallery for easy sharing.
Engagement Photography
Engagement sessions create lasting memories while helping couples build comfort in front of the camera before their wedding day. We offer customized locations from Charleston's historic districts to scenic outdoor settings, with guidance on wardrobe coordination and posing. These sessions produce shareable images for save-the-date materials or personal keepsakes, with the same attention to lighting and composition that defines our wedding work. Sessions include at least 60 edited images with full printing rights.

Our portrait sessions cater to individuals, couples, and families seeking timeless images that reflect their relationships. Whether documenting milestones like pregnancy announcements or creating updated family portraits, we focus on natural expressions and flattering light. Sessions accommodate pets and special requests, with guidance on location selection and wardrobe choices. The package includes professional editing and high-resolution digital files suitable for both digital sharing and professional printing.
Proposal Capture
Proposal sessions document one of life's most significant moments with discreet, candid photography. We help coordinate logistics while maintaining the surprise element, capturing genuine reactions and celebratory moments. The 30-minute session includes location scouting assistance and post-proposal portraits, with edited images delivered in both color and black-and-white options. Clients receive at least 60 edited images showcasing the full emotional arc of their special day.
