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!

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.

I am so happy we stumbled across Dennis and his team for our wedding. We had our first experience with him for our engagement photos and he is such a joy to be around. He is very professional, timely, accommodating, friendly, and funny. We had 3 photo sessions with him, our engagements, my bridal portraits, and our wedding and he knocked all of them out of the park. They are all so beautiful and he even shows you some while he's taking them so you can get an idea of what they look like. He makes sure you’re happy with them once you get them back and if there’s anything you want changed. He also makes sure you know how he wants you to pose or just do something funny to be natural. He has very quick turn around and is truly amazing at what he does. We love the fact that his photos are natural looking and he really captures everyone’s true beauty. We also go to meet and work with Megan on our wedding day and she was a great addition to have! We love the photos she took as well and they both made our day so enjoyable. Our guests, families, and bridal party all enjoyed working with them. We can’t wait to continue to work with Dennis and his team in the future! We will highly recommend Charleston Photo Art to anyone needing a photographer!

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!

From the moment Alissa and I connected I knew she was going to be a great fit for us. She was very flexible as far as booking our engagement shoot and went above and beyond to get us all the photos we wanted, we even hung out a bit after and had a drink, she's fun!! Come wedding day I was having some issues with another vendor and Alissa was more than willing to step in and help in any way she could. Both my husband and I have very large families so when it came time for family photos she did a great job at making sure we got what we needed and moved on so that we can enjoy our time and not spend hours corralling family to get photos done. We ended up needing her to stay longer to capture our exit and she was more than willing to add more time. After just a few days we got back 50 photos for our sneak peak and were soooo in love with the way they turned out!

Sara was amazing for my wedding! We had a fun theme that many vendors didn't even want to work with, but Sara was there for it! Our wedding had a dress code of footie-pajamas and a really casual, fun setting. Picture lights out with glow stick centerpieces with board games on each table and colorful party lights while everyone is wearing different footies. So much fun!

Telling your wedding story with emotional artwork that is full of life. Your photos will be a beautiful lifelong memory! Based in Charleston, SC. Available for travel. I tell YOUR story.

The result is genuine expressions and a lot of fun. I also get to know couples. I love meeting people, and those who choose me get my full attention. I'm available for help with any need, and can offer plenty of advice. I love what I do and having that show in my work!

Awarded Best of Zola
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.
