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!!!!

From the moment we met Luca, we knew she was the right person to capture our wedding. She didn’t just document the big moments - she paid attention to the small, meaningful details that made private beach wedding day uniquely ours. Her creativity and professionalism instantly put us at ease, which was such a gift during all the nerves of the day. Luca brought a calming presence, endless patience, and such care to every part of the process. She made us feel seen, celebrated, and completely comfortable in front of the camera. The entire experience was truly unforgettable. We’re so thankful for the heart and talent Luca poured into our day, and we couldn’t have asked for a better photographer!

From our very first conversation through the final delivery, Rhett was friendly, transparent, and incredibly responsive to all of our questions. The quality of his work is bright, creative, and colorful, and he was always open-minded and enthusiastic about our more spontaneous ideas (including taking him around downtown Charleston on a golf cart in the cold!). On our wedding day, Rhett made everyone feel comfortable and at ease, and he was able to pivot effortlessly when moments unfolded unexpectedly. We had all been admiring a patch of beautiful flowers, and he quickly captured a truly special moment there.

We’ve been shooting weddings for 19 years. We’ve seen a thing or two and have learned to adapt and pivot with ease. On your wedding day, not only are we capturing all the things happening around us, but we blend in with your favorite people. We love your grandma too, we'll hug your mom, we'll help your maid of honor... simply put, we got you! Your experience with us is important. We want you to feel like you can trust us.

Working with Krista was the easiest part of my wedding day. We had some hiccups during the day and she kept me calm and even redirected me when I was getting anxious or upset. I had shared with her that I was an anxious person before my wedding day and she told me she’d make sure to keep and eye on me and she did. She notices things, she could read my face and know I needed a minute. She advocated for me and even took control of things when we had to have a change in plans. And the pictures were stunning! Oh my gosh they are all so dreamy I can’t even pick favorites! I couldn’t have done my wedding day without her.

Taking pictures has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. People ask me all the time, what I do for a living? I respond I own King Street Photo Weddings. I am very blessed and honored to be an image-maker. My amazing team & I capture joyful, emotional, people at weddings.

I have worked with Michel & his team for many years. Michel is passionate but also a true master photographer. He creates images with his lighting techniques that in mine and most clients opinion are like no other. He pushes the boundaries and does not use ambient light in most cases and why his website and photos of his work are exemplar and superb. His business knowledge and service & 5 stars reviews are far above most wedding vendor capabilities and why he always mentions that he has been a wedding photographer for over 21 years plus. Need I say more...?

Taylor Rae Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
Charleston, SC
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,800

It brings me so much joy to photograph two people in love. That’s why I adore working with couples who know that their marriage is about SO MUCH MORE than just their wedding day. It’s all the days that follow. It’s choosing your spouse each and every day. Your wedding day will be perfect, not because everything went according to plan, but because you said YES to the love of your life. And I see it as a huge honor when a couple chooses me to document such an important day in their lives! When past brides describe my style, they say words like, “joyful,” “romantic,” “warm,” “bright,” and “photos that actually look like me!”

If you are looking for a wedding photographer, look no further! Taylor is your woman! My husband is not a huge fan of having his photo taken, so my main concern was finding someone that would make him feel comfortable. Little did I know how much Taylor would calm my nerves on our wedding day. She is such a light, but fun presence and I think that is reflected in how natural our photos felt. They truly reflect us, our love and the feeling of our big day. The only trouble you'll have is figuring out which of the hundreds of amazing photos you want to print. Seriously, is there a limit to how many wedding photos you should display in your home? She is the best!

Our industry has recognized us with 250+ photography awards and we’ve been featured in publications around the world, including People Magazine and CNN. That means you can rest easy knowing the photos we create for you will be beautiful, meaningful, and spectacularly unique. We’d love to tell your story next.

Awarded Best of Zola
The Chrismans' superpower is their elevated professionalism and ability to make you feel like your best self. You could say I found my wedding photographers before I found my husband. I've known Ben and Erin for over 15 years. 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 surpass 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.

I’m Madison, but you can call me Maddy. You should know right off the bat, I’m not your typical wedding photographer. As a journalist, I was trained to see the story in everything. Now, as a photographer, I use storytelling to connect with people. And the stories I want to tell are adventurous, unbiased, natural, emotive love stories. So let’s skip the small talk. I want to hear about your biggest life hurdles, your aspirations, your journey, and the things that ignite your soul. Let’s skip the pomp and circumstance, too. If your dream is to marry your partner on a mountaintop, I’ll grab my hiking boots.

Oh my goodness... Madison Krupp is an absolute gem. She has the kindest heart, and makes you feel completely at ease! Having her take our wedding photos felt so easy and natural - she has such a calming way about her that almost makes you forget photos are even being taken! My husband and I had so much fun spending time posing, laughing, and really taking in those special moments together. I absolutely adore our wedding photos, and will treasure them forever. We couldn't of asked for a better person to photograph our day - she captured every moment so perfectly. In a professional setting, she is wonderful to work with as well. I work at a wedding venue and absolutely love when Maddy and I get the opportunity to work alongside each other at weddings + events. She is professional, warm, and cares deeply for her clients and her work. Thank you for all you do, MK!

If you’re loving my work and feel like we might be the right fit, I’d love to connect! I take on a limited number of weddings each year so I can really get to know my couples.

My husband and I were beyond impressed with our entire experience with Debra Aslanidis Photography. From start to finish Debra made my experience as a bride so smooth and stress-free. Wedding planning can be a stressful process, but Debra provided excellent communication about what to expect leading up to the wedding and the day of, so we felt very at ease the entire time. When I ran into an unrelated issue (a problem with another vendor), Debra reached out and sent me recommendations and offered support while I dealt with the situation. It was unbelievably kind and not at all expected, but it really made me feel cared for and I appreciated Debra going above and beyond for me! On the day of our wedding, Debra and her partner Jeremy were absolutely phenomenal. For one, they worked so perfectly together. We had guests complimenting how well they worked and coordinated together! I seriously can’t thank them enough for not only being amazing photographers, but also helping with other tasks that they voluntarily did. I seriously felt like they assumed the role of our wedding coordinators at times, since we didn’t have one, by providing suggestions and opinions since they’re the experienced ones when it comes to weddings! I couldn’t be more thankful for their confidence and comfortability in doing so! Finally, I am seriously blown away by the fact that we got our photos about a month after our wedding day! Debra has worked weddings, engagement shoots, and other photoshoots every single weekend and has a family, yet still managed to bust her butt to finish our photos, and it was the best surprise to get our photos back right before celebrating one month of marriage. I am so in love with our photos and have looked at them every single day, multiple times a day, since getting them back. Photos are the one thing you keep from your wedding day (besides your memories!), and I am absolutely in love with the final photos! The editing is beautiful, and I’m so happy we prioritized finding a photographer who emphasizes the behind-the-scenes and candid moments. I love that our pictures are 100% in the moment and capture the real, raw emotions of everyone! There were several detailed shots of our venue and decor and I love those just as much as I love the ones of me, my husband, our families, and our friends! They’re all so stunning!! Our photos made me laugh, cry, audibly say “awww,” and smile the biggest, cheesy grin. I absolutely believe your photographer is one of the most important vendors you choose for your wedding day, and I would 1000% recommend Debra Aslanidis Photography to everyone I know!!

We hired Evan and Gabrielle for our Spring 2024 wedding in Asheville. From the time we booked them, up until the gallery delivery, they were always super consistent with communication and delivered us the most beautiful wedding photos we could have asked for. In looking for a photographer we had a pretty specific style and sentiment we wanted to capture, and Evan executed on it perfectly. They are pretty delightful people too which is an added bonus!
