Tag: Charleston Wedding Photographer
I love being a Charleston wedding photographer! A Charleston wedding is most often full of Spanish moss, shagging music, and southern charm in every detail. During your Charleston wedding photography experience, I aim to be as unobtrusive as possible while also taking in all of the moments and detail that tell the unique story of your wedding day. My wedding packages include full wedding day coverage so your wedding day story can be told from morning preparations to your reception departure.
As a past bride myself, I know how important our wedding photos are to my husband and I. We display them in our home and have a wedding album full of photos from the day that we look at frequently. I love getting to take wedding photos for my couples that they will cherish throughout their marriage. That’s what being a Charleston wedding photographer is all about.
