Watching my baby sister get married was emotional, and the photographers captured that perfectly. I didn’t even notice half of what was happening that day, but the photos showed it all. They made sure our mom looked beautiful too, which meant the world. I cried seeing the pictures of us holding hands before she walked down the aisle. They’re not just photographers they’re storytellers. I can’t thank them enough for preserving that memory for us.

Awarded Best of Zola
Natalie was seriously a dream to work with. Outside of how insanely talented she is, she is so kind, funny, and easy to be around. She made me and everyone in my bridal party feel comfortable and beautiful! I really struggled finding a HMU artist because I wanted to still look and feel like myself on my wedding day and was afraid of feeling suffocated under too much makeup, Natalie totally got my vision and helped me bring it to life. I'd reccomend her to anyone!

Travis and his band were absolutely phenomenal to work with for our wedding. The music was great; he learned our first dance song perfectly; the selection of music meant there was something for everyone; and he even had tarps to put up to keep the music going as the rain came down. Absolutely professional and a joy to work with. Plus, a bunch of my musician friends from around town recommended Travis and said he's fun to play with. You'll think so too. Thanks, Travis!

Reflections Media captured my wedding day just as I wanted. Bipin and Chacie took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and captured every moment and detail. The final product brought tears to my eyes as I watched the highlight video and looked through our pictures. I have had several people tell me they could ‘feel the happiness and the love’ just by looking at the pictures. Communication was very good and helpful (for those times when I didn’t know what I wanted). I am very happy with my decision to book reflections media.

Charleston Photo Art

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,495
  • Serves Awendaw, SC

Hello! I'm Dennis Aliaksandrou of Charleston Photo Art. My decade-long journey in professional photography focuses on weddings, elopements, and engagement photography. We craft timeless memories in our photos and videos. My background in Psychology helps me capture the essence of your special moments. We're dedicated to authentically telling your story through our lenses.

We cannot recommend Charleston Photo Art enough! From the moment we first met him, he was professional, approachable, and so easy to talk to. On our wedding day — one of the busiest and most emotional days of our lives — he managed everything with such calm, kindness, and genuine warmth that it instantly put us (and our families) at ease. Not only was he incredibly friendly and patient, but he also had an amazing eye for detail. He captured every single moment beautifully — from the big, emotional highlights to the little in-between memories we didn’t even realize were happening. His creativity and talent truly shine through in every shot. What impressed us most was how seamlessly he blended into the day. He managed to be everywhere without ever being intrusive, guiding us with gentle direction when needed while also letting natural moments unfold. Our guests all commented on how lovely he was to work with — he felt like part of the celebration rather than just someone behind a camera. The final gallery left us absolutely speechless. Every photo tells a story, and together they perfectly reflect the joy, love, and energy of the day. These are memories we’ll treasure forever, and we’re so grateful to have had such a gifted and genuine photographer to capture them. If you’re looking for someone who is not only incredibly talented but also kind, reliable, and a true joy to have around on your special day — look no further than Dennis Aliaksandrou!

Holly and the Lowcountry Pianist team exceeded all expectations we had when it came to working with a ceremony musician for our wedding. Seamless communication from start to finish, well priced, and an exceptional performance!

Rhett masterfully captured our wedding from beginning to end, all our guests loved him.

Rhett knew where my husband and I were throughout the entirety of the night - so we always had photos taken with guests when they requested them.

After 10 years working in graphic design + product development, I’m finally following my heart to full-time photography, and I’m never looking back. With family in the Southeast, Midwest, Southwest, and Northwest USA, and friends located around the world, I have an outstanding flexibility (and passion) for travel to any destination of your dreams.

To say Shannon is a pleasure to work with is an understatement. She was always easy to talk with and kept in touch the months leading up to my wedding. The day before the wedding she was proactive and met with me to scope out the venue, noting all of the places that was important to us but more importantly, was very knowledgeable on what locations would work best for views and lighting. On the day of the wedding her expertise truly showed! Shannon was very professional but also down to earth and kept the day fun! She helped us with poses as the groom & I weren’t sure what we needed to do and they turned out perfect! After the wedding, she worked quickly to get all of our beautiful pictures back in a very timely manner! Shannon gave us pictures that will last a lifetime, she is an amazingly talented individual and the work she produces is truly remarkable!

Where do we even begin? Taylor, our DJ, didn't just meet our expectations, he absolutely obliterated them! He flew all the way from Charleston to Cabo for our wedding, and even when his nearest airport was shut down due to a snowstorm, he found a way to get to us. That level of dedication is simply unmatched. But it wasn't just his commitment that blew us away. From the moment he started, the energy was electric. Taylor's emcee skills are top-tier. He was hilarious, engaging, and kept the party going all night long. He even hosted an epic twerk-off contest, letting us, the bride and groom, crown the winners – it was a highlight of the night! What truly sets Taylor apart is his ability to handle anything that came his way with grace and positivity. Weddings are unpredictable, and Taylor navigated every unforeseen moment with a smile and a solution. He seamlessly managed the flow of the evening, ensuring everything ran smoothly and the dance floor was always packed. More than just a DJ, Taylor has become a dear friend. We now wish he could emcee and DJ every event we host! If you're looking for someone who can elevate your event beyond your wildest dreams, Taylor is your guy. He knows how to keep the vibes way above expectations, and we can't recommend him highly enough. Thank you, Taylor, for making our wedding an unforgettable celebration!

Sara even showed up in her footie pajamas and didn't kill me when I told her I wanted to pop confetti for our last song of the night.

Lindsay was by far the best vendor of our whole wedding. She made the day so enjoyable and stress-free with her amazing energy and talent. Aside from being fabulous at her job, she is so thoughtful and lovely. As a bride and groom who were extremely camera shy, she made us feel totally comfortable the entire time and the photos turned out better than we could have ever imagined. We still keep in touch with her and can’t recommend her enough! Lindsay is the absolute best all around.

Welcome to Franzi Annika Photography, where elegance meets the artistry of visual storytelling. We are Franzi and Martin – a husband-wife duo. While our European roots shape our style, our dedication to the art of photography is what guides us. Through our in-the-moment, meticulous focus on the finer details, we create a collection of genuine narratives preserved on film. These photographs will continue to reflect the emotional depth of your celebration for generations to come.

You won’t find photographers more skilled or personable than Franzi and Martin! They photographed our engagement in Charleston, SC, rehearsal dinner and wedding in Boston, MA. We cannot recommend them highly enough for your next engagement session, wedding, or event! Working with them was a dream and we feel so lucky to have met them. First, if you took all the photography away, Franzi and Martin will enhance your wedding day just by being a part of it. They are warm, funny and fit right in with the gals/guys and families. They also got along and coordinated so well with our venue, floral designer and planner - everyone loved working with them. We all felt so comfortable around them and this is reflected in the natural, beautiful photos. They are also incredibly professional, prepared and organized. The morning of the wedding, they had already scouted and planned all of the locations for the first look, family and bridal party photos, and husband/wife shots. We didn’t have to do or think about a thing in terms of photos the entire day - we just followed their lead! During the ceremony and reception, they were so subtle in taking their photos. We were able to enjoy the day without it feeling like a photoshoot. The photos were simply stunning. We have gotten so many compliments on how unique and personal our photos are. Most importantly, they feel like us, because Franzi and Martin got to know us throughout this process. We had such a hard time putting together an album because we had too many favorites to choose from! One of the guiding values for choosing our wedding vendors was to find true artists who are passionate about their craft and then trust them to work their magic. Franzi and Martin are just that - artists. We wanted them to have complete creative control and freedom and would encourage everyone who works with them to do the same - your photos will be gorgeous, and your wedding day memories will be made better because Franzi and Martin were there.

Lee Edwards Entertainment was the perfect choice for our wedding entertainment. From the start, they stayed on top of everything and communicated back and forth with us, ensuring we were all on the same page. On the day of the wedding, they did a great job with the setup, song selection, and keeping the dance floor energized. The wedding with them was wholesome and they helped create a truly memorable celebration for us and our guests. We couldn't have asked for better entertainment to make our special day so enjoyable.

Hey there! I’m a Charleston native who has always loved being able to capture moments behind the camera! Overtime my eye drew to capturing the authenticity of moments through movement. And voila! My passion for filmmaking was born. Throughout your wedding process I want to be more of a friend than a vendor, and I don't say that flippantly. I want to be your biggest advocate and number one fan on your wedding day and beyond. My job is to capture the moments in front of me, not manufacture something on my own. I can't wait to get to know you, and I look forward to creating something beautiful, together!

Jodi is absolutely amazing!! She is the sweetest human and went out of her way to make our wedding day perfect. Working with her was so easy, she felt like more of a guest at the wedding because of how well she got along with my family and friends. She gave us a sneak peek almost immediately after the wedding and it was so beautiful. The final video completely blew us away, Jodi captured every special moment so beautifully that we had together and with our loved ones. Being able to relieve our wedding day together and still be able to feel of the emotions we felt that day is so beyond special to us.

We have a full time team that has covered weddings for 18 years with a unique style. We love sunset and a moody sky! Our edits are very close to true to color with just a bit of drama and spice! We are an easy-going team that can roll with the punches when necessary while also making decisive decisions throughout the day. We offer multiple levels of service for photography and even offer videography as well.

I literally just finished texting Krista that she is the absolute best human ever after looking at my wedding album for the first time. The teasers were incredible, but after looking through the entire gallery, I am ABSOLUTELY FLOORED with the photos. My husband and I eloped in Charleston from Maryland and I contacted easily 15 photographers. Several of them were at least twice the price and their quality paled in comparison to Krista and her all star team. After having our initial phone call, I knew I had to have Krista be a part of our wedding. We chatted for an hour and I felt like we were friends from another life and it turned out we had very similar lives and just completely hit it off. She is tell it like it is, but insanely professional at the same time which is VERY hard to pull off. She is a ray of sunshine, genuinely adores what she does and gives all of herself to make sure she delivers and she CRUSHES it. Stephanie was absolutely amazing too and Krista's husband and his partner created the most magnificent wedding video for us. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND MAKE THE EASIEST DECISION OF YOUR ENTIRE WEDDING PLANNING BY BOOKING KRISTA AND HER TEAM!! you will be the happiest ever!!!!
