I booked a 30 minute solo photography session at Myrtle Beach with Ethereal Studios. While I…read moreenjoyed the photography session itself and felt very comfortable with the photographer, after receiving the final product of ten edited images, I was not completely satisfied with the final images that were pre-selected for me (by the photographer) and felt these were not the images I would have preferred to pick for myself as part of the package I had already paid for. I was not offered the option to select the photos I would like to have edited. Since I already knew this would be the case before I booked the session, I was putting a lot of trust in the photographer to select these for me. After reviewing the images pre-selected and edited for me, I reached out to the photographer to ask if I could purchase just a few other images I would have preferred to keep, and which I did not have the option to select on my own in the first round of photos. The business informed me that it was not an option to select individual images for further purchase and that I would need to purchase an entire upgrade package of several images at once (which would be more than 200 dollars in my case). After explaining to the business that I really wasn't completely satisfied with all the images they had pre-selected on my behalf but would still be willing to pay for just a few others (that had not been included/edited), the business responded that this would not be an option and that if I wanted the other images, I would need to purchase a full upgrade package. I felt very disappointed with this inflexibility and got the impression that this was a money grab on the part of the business. While the photographer did pre-select for me a handful of photos I really loved, I had no choice but to settle for the few others I was not particularly happy with unless I was willing to pay quite a bit more to receive the others which I would have preferred. Don't get me wrong, this business takes quality photos and provides quality editing. However, if you would like the freedom and flexibility to select precisely the photos you want to have of yourself in the original package you pay for upfront, then this is not the right business for you.

I reached out to Jenn (on a recommendation from Chelsea from Vanity Salon, see review) because I…read moreneeded updated professional headshots for a national publication. I hadn't had professional photos taken before, but Jenn is highly experienced and made the process unbelievably easy. Jenn had me bring a few wardrobe options. Before the shoot, we reviewed what would work on camera and the order. The date and time we planned was plagued by our regional thunderstorms, so we had to stay under a ledge to avoid the deluge! Despite that challenge, Jenn set up, provided guidance for capturing natural shots, and took amazing photos. The results were so good, I sent proof shots directly to the publication--they were thrilled. I highly recommend Jenn Cady Photography.

We are incredibly thankful that we booked Emily Baucom Photography for our wedding. Not only was…read moreEmily an absolute delight to work with, but our engagement and wedding photos turned out absolutely beautiful. I was initially impressed after looking through Emily's previous work - she has an incredible talent for capturing sincere moments and giving them a polished final look. Although she is based in Charleston, we requested to have our engagement photos in my hometown, Hilton Head Island. She was more than accommodating, driving down to work with us, and traveling to multiple photo locations on Hilton Head. We were so pleased with the final product - we felt like she really captured our relationship, giving each of our poses a natural, non-staged, look. On the day of our wedding, Emily and her team effortlessly covered the ceremony and reception, all the while having full command of their schedule and capturing every shot we had hoped for! While we have only received a sneak peak of our photos so far, we could not be happier. The photographs have been absolutely breathtaking, and have us so excited to see the rest! All in all, Emily's patience, organization and talent made it an absolute joy to work with her. I would certainly recommend her and her team to any bride getting married in (or around) the Charleston area!!

Stefanie photographed the engagement session and wedding for my husband and me. Being a same-sex…read morecouple, it was really important to us to find a photographer who could capture our relationship and love without making us do poses and shots that traditionally would be seen as having a male/female dynamic. We had never met her before the engagement session, but we felt comfortable with her right away. She has a very warm and welcoming personality that enables her to create an immediate connection with her subjects and allows her to really "get" and capture the couple's dynamic. We were so happy with our engagement photos that we asked her to do our wedding as well, and I cannot speak highly enough of that experience. She was a rockstar throughout the wedding, capturing the details and intimate moments of our wedding perfectly. When we received the photos, it was literally like reliving the wedding all over again. I know I will treasure these photos for life, and I cannot recommend Stefanie for your photography needs (wedding or otherwise) highly enough!

We loved having Palmetto Wedding Films be a part of our micro wedding at The River House at Lowndes…read moreGrove in May 2019. Jessie was a true pleasure to work before, during, and after our big day. We selected Palmetto Wedding Films because of the drone footage & two cameras throughout; videos that include vows, speeches, toasts, and music; that you receive both a short-film (~3 minutes) and a full-length film (~1 hour) - both in high and standard resolution formats; and last but not least, the reasonable price point. Jessie also went above and beyond by returning all of our videos within our short eight-week window. We loved Palmetto Wedding Films and would highly recommend!

Out of all the vendors Sam was our favorite. He was open to various types of photos. He offered suggestions. I would really recommend Sam and Amara photography.

I have had the distinct pleasure of using Zak Collins Photography both personally and…read moreprofessionally for several years. Zak is a profoundly talented artist. I never get tired of seeing his work and every client we've had in common has had nothing but glowing remarks for him as well. When I need photography work either personally or for my business, Zak is the first person I think of and the first person I call. He's always professional and pleasant and goes above and beyond the call of duty whenever I call upon him. He never disappoints!

Celeste is an absolutely amazing photographer. I have worked with her on numerous occasions and…read morewithout fail she has produced stunning photographs. She is fun, professional, and has a remarkable ability to get children to laugh and smile. When I hired her to photograph my son for our Christmas card I was somewhat nervous since he not only had a cold (runny nose etc.) but also wouldn't still for a second (very active 1.5 year old!). Needless to say the photographs were beautiful and my card was a success. Thank you, Celeste!
