Best experience of my life!…read more Dennis was extremely professional from the moment we spoke with him to schedule and plan the day of the engagement. Not only did he provide exceptional photos and videos, he also made the experience memorable. It was our first time taking photos like this and we were so comfortable from the moment it began. His techniques with lighting and posing were really impressive. Everything felt very natural and when we looked at the photos the next day, we were able to relive the experience immediately. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer. If you're thinking about getting engaged or need a photo for any experience, Dennis is the man and you need to call him ASAP! Thank you Dennis!

Especially when choosing locations for our shoots. He helped us really relax and his kind and funny demeanor really made a big difference in our photos. He really went above and beyond to help us, even driving us from one location to the next since we did not rent a car. He even sent us 5 edited photos the next day, so the turnaround time is very fast! He has many more reviews on Google than Yelp if you want to see more reviews there. If anyone is in Charleston I would highly recommend him!

The photos she took were beautiful--I felt like they were from a magazine spread, not my own (mini) wedding. She captured lots of different poses and moments in our two-hour shoot. Leigh exceeded all my expectations for a wedding photographer, and we got some great photos! She was so easy to work with--she gave us lots of good direction in the pre-wedding photos that we took, for which I was grateful because we are not models, and we have no idea how to pose for photos--but was completely unobtrusive during the ceremony part. And she's a really nice person to boot. Her prices are very reasonable compared to other photographers I had researched. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to a friend!

I was happy with my professional headshot session from beginning to end. I completed their online…read moreform and received an email response promptly. They asked about my availability and recommended a gray background unless I had something else in mind. I scheduled my appointment for a morning session at their studio, which has its own small parking lot. My session was 40 minutes, including time afterward to select the pose I wanted. I appreciated the dressing room to fix my makeup and hair before the session. They had some hairspray, tissues, and hand lotion in the room. My photographer, Trevor, was friendly and professional and made me feel comfortable in front of the camera. He gave me great directions and helped me select the best pose. During COVID, he and other staff had masks on. The total cost was $150. I will receive a high-resolution image for printing and a low-resolution image for screens/internet by email. I can't wait! I've never had a professional headshot taken and I wish I'd done it sooner. I would not hesitate to consider this studio if you want a professional experience and product.

We just found out that our Corgi has lymphoma. Before he passes, we wanted to get some nice family…read morephotos to remember him by. We paid a family friend to take photos and I am truly sad that I actually paid for those. So I asked around for a professional photographer with a studio, as our youngest pup isn't fully vaccinated, and that was good with pets. Based off recommendations from friends, I emailed four photographers in the area and Tourine from Johnstone Studios was one of the first to respond in a timely manner. Due to the time constant, we didn't do the complimentary consultation, but just made an appointment for the photos on a Sunday afternoon of that week. She did ask what breeds of dogs they were, to make sure she'd have the correct background color ready. We showed up 15 minutes early and she met us at the door. Tourine was warm and welcoming to both us and the pups. Johnstone Studios is beautifully set up, both welcoming and professionally decorated.We went upstairs to a studio with hard wood floors and she went to work. She was extremely kind to the pups and knew how to keep their attention. Tourine had a great energy and the dogs fed off of that. I could tell that Tourine has experience with working with dogs, as she waved treats, talked to them, jumped around and used a train whistle to see what they responded to best. Our Crogi is a ham and loves to take pictures, but our new golden doodle has no concept of what's going on, so getting him to look in the right direction was taxing. After she was done, she checked with us to see if we had time to view the photos in their viewing room, or if we needed to go home for the dogs. They were both doing well, so we stayed to view our photos. Not only did she get a few beautiful pictures of our ailing Corgi, but pictures of the dogs together and one of the four of us. Everyone was looking, beautifully positioned and I will treasure these photos for years to come! Down stairs in their viewing room, we went through the photos on a big screen tv. We picked a package that gave us three of the photos we choose retouched and the digital rights for a very competitive price. My husband also ordered an Urban picture collage of our three pictures. Tourine was extremely low pressure when it came to selling additional add ons and even offered to leave the room so we could talk our choices over. Our digital prints came over retouched in three days and the photo collage we ordered should be here within a month or so. I am so happy with our family photos! Tourine did a great job and Johnstone Studios will be our new place for yearly family photos!

Nathan put so much thought into every shot while Mike made sure to catch those sincere moments. Both Nathan and Mike kept us laughing, feeling comfortable, and never letting us feel like we would get over having our picture taken. They sent me a sneak peek, and I INSTANTLY started to cry as I was so touched. They are true artists with a talent like I have never seen before. If you plan on having Nathan at your wedding, give him free creative control and watch what masterpiece he can deliver. If you haven't hired them yet, you are a fool! They are worth everything and THEN some. Thank you guys for truly making our night incredible. We love you! Megan and Brandon

You could say I found my wedding photographers before I found my husband. Over the years, I've worked with them numerous times over the years. Ben & Erin photographed my engagement session in Scottsdale, AZ. Then they photographed our wedding weekend in Lake Como, Italy. Every photo they took from our trip in Italy is my most prized possession! It was like having friends photograph the first most important day of my life. My pictures are emotional, sentimental, and vibrant. While I was living in the moment at my wedding, they were documenting moments I didn't even see happening. Today, I cherish the variety of pictures they captured of my Mom and me at my wedding, her happiest of times and now, all I have left to remember her. She loved Ben & Erin because they are not just friendly people, they are intelligent, fun to be around, adventurous and kind hearted people. Above all, they are the most communicative and creative photographers I have ever met. They always superpass my expectations. Next month, we will hire them to photograph our business headshots in Charleston, SC. I trust them to make me look good and capture my best looking self (maybe even better than myself). They know the right thing to do in every moment. I wouldn't just recommend them, I'd tell you to hire them before they book up.

He is amazing and our photos surpassed our expectations. We had several phones calls prior to the shoot and Ben showed a genuine interest in us and what make us a happy family.

Seeing our photos was amazing- the happiness and pure emotion that was captured was astounding. We will cherish our prints for a lifetime. Everyone that sees the photographs is absolutely blown away. This team is the real deal.
