Love notes
Kind words from our couples
“We barely noticed them all day. Then the gallery arrived and every moment was there, even the ones we didn’t know had happened.”
Emma & JamesKiawah Island, SC“Forty relatives, fifteen minutes of family photos, and nobody got lost. That alone was worth it. The photos are beautiful too.”
Hannah & MichaelBlue Ridge Mountains, NC“They flew to Venice with us and felt like friends by lunchtime. Our families weren’t there, and the album made them feel like they were.”
Sarah & DanielVenice, Italy“No guests, a lot of fog and the best day of our lives. Stephen and Claire planned every trail and every backup, and they made it feel like a real wedding.”
Olivia & BenIsle of Skye, Scotland“Clear pricing, quick replies and a gallery three weeks early. Planning a wedding is a lot. This was the easy part.”
Lauren & ChrisCharleston, SC “I hate having my picture taken. Claire talked me through every portrait, and I love how I look in all of them.”
Megan & TylerSullivan’s Island, SC “Our timeline ran an hour late and they never once made us feel rushed. They just adjusted and kept going.”

Questions couples ask
Can’t find your answer? Ask us anything in your inquiry and we’ll reply within one business day.
All questionsDo you travel for weddings?
Yes. Travel within 100 miles of Charleston is included in every collection. For anywhere farther, including weddings abroad, we add travel at cost (flights, lodging and a rental car) with no extra day rate.
Are there always two photographers?
For weddings, yes. We both photograph every Wedding and Wedding weekend collection, so one of us can be with each of you while you get ready, and the ceremony is covered from two angles. Elopements can be one or both of us.
When will we get our photos?
You’ll get a sneak peek of 30 to 50 photos within seven days, and your full gallery within six weeks of the wedding. Most galleries arrive sooner.
How many photos will we receive?
It depends on the day. For an eight-hour wedding, expect 700 to 900 edited photos, in color, with black and white where it suits the moment.
