About
Two photographers, one way of seeing
A husband-and-wife team based in Charleston, SC. We photograph a limited number of weddings each year, always together.
A husband-and-wife team, at every wedding
We’re Stephen and Claire Martin. We met in 2013 assisting the same Charleston wedding photographer, and we’ve photographed weddings together ever since.
Our style is natural and warm. We guide you when it helps, for family photos and portraits, and step back the rest of the day so you can enjoy it. Stephen finds the wide, quiet frames. Claire is right there for the tears and the laughter.
We take a limited number of weddings each year, so every couple gets both of us, from the first call to the last photo.

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.”
