From the moment I spoke with Tim, I knew he was the one. He immediately put both me and my then-fiancé at ease. Working with him felt less like a formal shoot and more like hanging out with an old friend who just happened to have a camera. We laughed, we relaxed, and most importantly we never felt awkward. Tim didn't just take photos; he captured the joy, movement, and emotion of the day in every single frame. Each image feels alive a true reflection of how that day felt. I'm endlessly grateful. Our wedding photos now hang in our home, and they look and feel like art.

Hiring Tim as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our big day! From…read morethe moment we met him, we knew we made the right decision. Tim has an incredible gift--not just for photography, but for capturing the raw, beautiful emotions that made our wedding so meaningful. Every photo he took tells a story. Looking through our photos feels like reliving the day all over again, and we're still in awe of how he managed to turn fleeting moments into timeless works of art. What truly set Tim apart, though, was his presence. He was warm, calm, and felt like a close friend from the very start. He blended in so effortlessly, yet somehow was everywhere at once. Our guests couldn't stop asking us who our photographer was. If you're looking for someone who pours their heart into their work, Who cares about your wedding as much as you do, and who will leave you speechless with the results--Tim is that person. We are forever grateful to him for giving us the most beautiful memories we'll cherish for the rest of our lives!

I wanted a photographer to capture my proposal, and Lindsey absolutely crushed it. We're nearly 7…read moremonths pregnant, so Lindsey not only captured the proposal without my fiancee suspecting - getting tons of amazing candid shots - she basically set us up with engagement photos and maternity photos all in one. We were visiting Charleston for the weekend, so Lindsey helped me plan every detail down to a location in the heart of the city at the perfect time of day. She is personable and so easy to work with. We emailed, texted and jumped on the phone to discuss logistics over the two months leading up to the proposal. During the session, she suggested different poses and locations and never once made us feel rushed. She even made a couple restaurant suggestions for us as we parted ways. Lindsey has a great eye, and we are blown away with everything. My fiancee is so excited - not only that I had the wherewithal to plan this without her knowing a single detail, but also that I selected an awesome photographer. Lindsey has given us a very special way to remember this moment, and we can't thank her enough!

I want to preface this review of Jon by saying I am an AVID music festival attendee. I have…read moretraveled all over the world to watch my favorite producers and DJ's spin their records and motivate the crowd that's in front of them. I know what good mixing is (mixing in key, cuts, fade ins/outs, etc.) and I have also dabbled in DJing myself. Over the course of the past 7 years I have met, became, and stayed friends with the people I have met at these shows and festivals and most of them attended my wedding which Jon DJ'ed the weekend of this past December 8th. Initial impressions of Jon upon first meeting him were profanely positive. He was extremely courteous and immediately gave me props on my playlist selection which was nice of him. I'll be honest. I'm at the age where all of my friends are getting hitched and I've been to a lot of weddings this year. Heard a lot of mediocre DJ's. As long as Jon played the songs I picked, I would have been satisfied, but he completely exceeded my expectations. Jon's mixing flowed, he read the crowd extremely well, and had good stage presence. On par with any hip-hop/rap DJ I have seen live. The dance floor was full from the time he started till the time he stopped and I had multiple guests tell me how much they enjoyed his set. He honestly set the tone, kept the pace, and fed the crowd aural synapses of all my pre-selected tunes mixed to his style, done very well. I can't thank Jon enough for making my wedding truly a night to remember. He is very reasonably priced as well, so this makes him a no brainer. I will recommend him to friends 100 times over. Thanks again, Jon! Do not hesitate to contract him for your next event.

He was able to get songs we wanted that weren't on his list. He also provided the speaker and mics for our outdoor ceremony, string cafe lighting for cocktail hour, music during dinner, a speaker to play lounge music outside, wonderful up lighting inside, and kept all our friends and family on the dance floor ALL NIGHT LONG! We weren't sure how to pick a DJ but are SOOOOO glad we picked DJ Jon Feist of Melodic Entertainment!

I had a disappointing, expensive experience. I don't feel Todd really listened to me when I…read moreexplained what I was looking for. He showed limited creativity and inspiration. He had me do the same pose over and over with minor adjustments to the tilt of the head. The photos sent to me to choose were all about the same, leaving me with little to choose from. Maybe if you're 25 and glowing with youth, he'll be more motivated. But I think the work of a good photographer is LISTENING and finding the best way to capture the subject. This is not the experience I had and I'm sorry I wasted $250.

My fiance specified that we would be in Charleston for an entire week so if something happened weather or business wise, we could push the engagement out to another day. Todd texted him all the way up until the time we got to the park and said everything was ready to go but NOOO... It was not. My fiance proposed, everything was great until we turned around to see Todd rolling around in the grass using his PHONE to capture our engagement... When we went up to talk to him, he said (laughing of course), "Hey man, I don't know what happened, my camera malfunctioned but I got these really sick pics on my phone"... Which were blurry and terrible. He then asked to use our camera that my fiance brought to "re-enact" our engagement which happened about 7 different times because he couldn't get the right lighting... Later he confessed that he actually just forgot his camera battery but didn't want to turn around and drive home or reschedule to another day... He took what was supposed to be such a wonderful moment and ruined it with his lack of professionalism.

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. The time he took with us at the shoot was great. My children warmed up to him so fast and we all felt very comfortable. We felt like we had been long lost friends with Ben. 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.

I had an idea of starting at Rainbow Row, and when we were contacting photographers, Ron was quick to respond. Not only was he the first to respond, but he had the best response. He was knowledgeable of the area, connected with my vision, and had other ideas of where to take our shoot that I felt confident that he was the one we wanted to work with. Then we had the actual shoot and it could not have turned out better. Ron is experienced in directing his subjects and has creative direction -- which is really appreciated. We aren't models, we don't do this on the daily. It was really great to work with someone who was experienced, confident, and kind. I would definitely work with Ron again.

Not only was Ron completely professional and easy to work, he made the day even more fun than it already was! Being photographed can be a bit of a hassle (we do the same group photo at Christmas every year and everyone hates it!) but Ron was so patient with us and kept things rolling so we could enjoy all the fun! He listened exactly to what my sisters wants were for the day and had wonderful ideas, creative shoots and the best photo booth I've ever seen! Ron makes you feel great and that reflects in the photos, all of which turned out amazing! And we were a large group (10 bridesmaids, 7 groomsmen, and the happy couple!) I'm sure photographing so many for more intimate photos is not an easy task, but he pulled it off! Most importantly, he made sure to capture just how beautiful my sister is in the photos, along with her personality and the happiness between her and her now husband! Couldn't have asked for a better experience!
