They took the time to get to know us ahead of time and kept in touch along the way. On our wedding day they were organized, thoughtful, and the calming energy we needed! We are OBSESSED with the photos! They captured us and our personalities so well! And of course all the details! We're so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with them and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for wedding photographers!

just now New Laura…read moreand Rachel are the absolute best! They made my engagement so special and made both my girlfriend and I feel so good during pictures! From the moment I found their website, I knew they would be perfect. Communication was always easy and they did a great job helping me plan a complete surprise engagement. They helped set up a special picnic after we got our photos done and my girlfriend loved it! The turnaround time to receive our pictures was VERY quick as well! We recommend Laura and Rachel to anyone who wants amazing pictures and to feel great on their special day!

My son is stationed in Charleston in the Navy, and my daughter and I had come down from Ohio to…read morevisit him. 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.

Diandra Dellucci (and her awesome lighting specialist) coordinated a fabulous photo shoot for my…read morebusiness and our family. We started and ended with creating images sharing my professional story. In the middle, Diandra captured family shots with eight people and six dogs! This sneak-peek from the array of photos shows us all in our World Series/Los Angeles Dodgers gear (even the dogs all have Dodgers gear, they're just not in this shot). When I wanted to capture family images for the business website, I did not want formal portraits--Diandra helped showcase us authentically having fun with each other, sometimes stoic, sometimes laughing, always supportive. One criterion that was important in selecting a professional to work with us was how well the photographer integrated pets into her images. You should know we have five LARGE dogs and one little doggy princess, all with different personalities. I'm pretty certain this could have proved a challenge! Diandra was great with the fur babies and had the perfect eye for catching them at sweet or goofy moments. If you need images for home, family, or business, give Diandra Dellucci a call.

Wow I can't say enough about this Photographers work she has been my families personal…read morephotographer for almost seven years she takes all our family pictures, and has taken product pictures for my business for the last five years as well. Not only are her ideas and eye for detail above expectation, but the energy, professionalism, and knowledge of whatever she's shooting be it the family or bars of soap she has always been nothing but Phenomenal,. Were hoping that we can use her for a baby shoot in the near future as she did our daughters wedding last September. I highly recommend Diandra for any occasion we can't imagine using anyone else!

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!

Philip is such a professional through and through! He took the time to meet us before our outdoor…read morewedding, and made great suggestions on locations and angles. He captured SO MANY amazing moments from our day while being very un-intrusive during the ceremony. Our eager parents attempted to take photos themselves and direct our poses (*facepalm*), and Philip maintained incredible patience and professionalism through it all. In addition to being an amazing photographer, Philip has some really cool hobbies - ask him about them if you're lucky enough to hire him as your wedding photographer!

This is by far the easiest Five Star review I've ever written…read more Philip is seriously one of my favorite people on this planet! He's the best photographer in Charleston and probably even the country... or world. I'm not even being sarcastic when I say that - he's THAT good! I loved every second of our time together - from the Facetime chats we would have before the wedding to arranging my beautiful wedding album. First of all, I'm sure you have seen how incredibly talented he is. His work is truly the best of the best and he will give the most gorgeous photos. My wedding photos are so beautiful that they've actually brought me to tears. I love and cherish them so much. Then there is Philip as a person. He's just so amazing in every way. He's fun, professional, hilarious, and extremely kind. Even though the wedding is over, I still love talking to Philip whenever I get the chance. How many people consider their wedding photographer a friend after the fact? It's pretty awesome! One story I'll never forget - On the actual wedding day, my hair and makeup took too long and I was over an hour late getting to my First Look. My anxiety level was at all time high. Then, my dad who was supposed to drive me to the location decided to "go for a drive" and was no where to be found (seriously Dad?!). I thought I was going to break down in tears, but Philip had my back! He cleared out his car and I jumped in and he drove me to the First Look. On the way there, he helped me see the humor in the situation and my anxiety melted away. I went from feeling completely crushed to laughing in just minutes. He just has that effect on people. And trust me - when it's your wedding day, those are the types of people that make all the difference. It's so true that your wedding photographer is the most important decision you will make about your wedding. Don't hesitate - book Philip now! I'm 100% positive that you will have zero (and I mean ZERO) regrets. I wish I could do it all over again.

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.
