We hadn't had a family photo taken in quite some time, so spur of the moment I tried to find a photographer for a Charleston photo shoot. The minute I saw Melissa's examples on her website, I knew she was the one I wanted to use. Due to my son's military schedule, we had to do some juggling to find a date and time that worked, but she was super accommodating. We wanted a "Charleston" backdrop, so we met at White Point gardens, took many photos there, as well as throughout downtown Charleston, and along the seawall at the battery. Melissa was great to work with, and made you feel immediately at ease. She had a lot of great suggestions, and really worked hard to get us a variety of photos so we'd have many to choose from. I also really liked that we would be given access to all the photos that she took, and weren't locked into a specific set amount. We are thrilled with the results, and would highly recommend her! Don't hesitate to give her a call, you won't be disappointed!!

We are so excited for our pictures. Melissa did a great job. We had a small elopement and I had a…read morevision of taking pictures at different downtown Charleston spots. Everything was just as I had imagined. We had our dog with us and she was able to capture his personality as well. Melissa was very professional and laid back, perfect for me. She listened to us and captured forever moments. If you are having your wedding in the Charleston area, contact Melissa.

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.

I cannot recommend Gladyxa (G) enough! From the very beginning, she went above and beyond to make…read moreour maternity photoshoot a truly special experience. When the weather didn't cooperate, she was incredibly accommodating and flexible in rescheduling so that we could have the perfect setting. As an expectant mother, I was a little nervous about being in front of the camera, but her kind personality immediately put me at ease. She made me feel beautiful, empowered, and confident throughout the entire session. My husband and I were also so impressed with how comfortable she made us feel with posing--it never felt forced, and she guided us in a way that felt completely natural and genuine. Not only is she talented behind the camera, but she truly cares about capturing meaningful moments. These photos are something we will treasure forever, and we are so grateful to her for making the experience such a joy.

We were looking for a photographer that didn't really take posed shots but would just work our event and take pictures in the moment ( candid photos ). Her photos are unique and tell a story and she was so nice that people thought we had been friends for years. It was actually really funny that we had to explain to our guests that we met the day before, again and again, all night long. Megan used to be a resident of Key West and will do events in Key West and Fairfield, CT where she currently lives. FYI - Steve Torrence was our officiant and can be found in Key West as well. Megan and Steve have been doing wedding together for years and this really helps because they work great together.

Meghan offered to doctor some of the photos and wowed us with her ability to make parked cars and signs disappear. Meghan quickly put us at ease during the engagement shoot. Her friendly nature served to eliminate much of the potential awkwardness associated with holding long kiss poses in front of a stranger. The engagement shoot served as a great way to build rapport with her before the wedding day. On the wedding day Meghan was punctual, efficient, and effective. She did a great job managing the family and wedding party portraits following the ceremony and even gained us some time on our schedule. During the ceremony and reception, she was autonomous and captured great photos of us, our families, and friends. Meghan delivered a whopping 1400+ photos eight weeks after the wedding. She provided a link to the photo gallery for us to share with loved ones along with a downloadable directory of the uncompressed files.

Her true colors came out when we requested to cancel the date we booked with her due to an emergency. Due to my health, we wouldn't be able to make our date and we informed leeann that we would have to cancel. She informed us that we wouldn't be getting our deposit back but she would be able to reschedule. Normally, I understand about rescheduling but we are in Chicago and the time frame for us to actually go to Charleston was uncertain. In her contract, she states that she will reschedule, "due to severe weather." Beyond this, her "contract" says there is no refund policy but leads to believe its only for weather. The contract is very vague and misleading. If you schedule with her, be sure to ask questions about what "no refunds" truly cover if other situations should occur.
