I pride myself and my work as a wedding and portrait photographer because I love what I get to do everyday when I get to serve my clients. My goal at the end of every wedding or session is to capture all of the most important moments along with the little ones in between. I am based in the low country and coastal empire serving Charleston, Bluffton, Palmetto Bluff, Hilton Head Island SC., Savannah, Isle of Hope, Richmond Hill, and St Simons Island GA. I also frequently visit Atlanta, Valdosta, Athens, Taccoa, Florida, and North Carolina. I genuinely love traveling all over the place and wouldn’t have it any other way!

“We were thrilled with Summer Heath Photography for our wedding photos! Summer was extremely responsive throughout the planning process, always getting back to emails within a day with detailed information. On the big day itself, Summer did a fantastic job capturing all of the special moments while keeping everything running smoothly. She perfectly balanced taking charge to get the shots she needed while also making sure we were comfortable and having fun. The end result is a collection of professional, high quality photos that far exceeded our expectations. My husband and I will treasure these pictures for years to come. We'd highly recommend Summer Heath Photography, especially for brides looking for an advocate to help guide you through the photography side of your wedding!”

I’m Stephanie, the heart behind Be Still My Heart Photography. I’m not just a wedding photographer—I’m a storyteller, a moment catcher, and a steady, calming presence on one of the most meaningful days of your life.

My approach is relaxed and intentional, always focused on capturing the real stuff: the love, the joy, and everything in between. If that resonates with you, I’d love to connect and hear your story. With love, Stephanie

“Words cannot express my gratitude for the INCREDIBLE job Stephanie did at my daughter's Savannah, GA wedding. She captured each shot perfectly while we were in the moment. Even in the rain, the pictures turned out amazing. She is a true professional with an amazing go with the flow attitude that made the photo shoot seamless. If you are in need of great pictures, I would recommend Be Still My Heart Photography each and every time! Thank you!!! 7 years later and I still look at these pictures with gratitude. They are displayed in my living room and I get compliments every time company comes over.”

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

“Isaac came recommended from a friend who did their engagement and wedding photos with him. We were also fortunate to have done our proposal, engagement and wedding photos with Isaac! He is so professional and comfortable to be around. My husband and I dont usually like to take photos, because we are self conscious, but Isaac took care of us. I am so grateful we came across LoveKnot and will always highly recommend them for anyone's special occasion.”

“Let me tell y’all about this amazing chic! She came in and saved the day! We lost our photographer about 2 weeks before our wedding, we knew it wasn’t the right fit for us. I reached out to Ashley Painter Photography and she made time in her busy schedule ( while finishing grad school, being a mom, wife, and running a business!) to travel 2 hours each way to capture our day. Not to mention working hand in hand with our DJ on a timeline of events to make sure she was in the right spot at the right time to capture the best shots! Our contract said allow 16 weeks for full gallery, she said “ girl, don’t you worry, I won’t make you wait that long” and here we are, 3 weeks later and completely surprised, she delivered a full gallery of the most amazing moments of our day. If you’re ever in the Charleston, South Carolina area and need some pictures done remember to call the best! It’s so much more than just snapping pictures”

“From our first conversation, Hellen CO Photos Films made communication feel effortless and stress-free. She knew our venue inside and out, which meant she'd already scouted the best spots for photos before our big day even arrived. Even though I'm terrible at posing for pictures, Hellen worked with me patiently and made the whole process feel natural. She captured every important moment—we jokingly call her our paparazzi because she was that good at blending in while getting incredible shots. Her attention to detail really set her apart, and she delivered everything on time with no hiccups. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer to document our wedding.”

Weddings are full of real moments—the happy tears, the belly laughs, the chaos of getting ready, and that one friend who definitely dances a little too hard at the reception.

Every wedding has its own rhythm. I'm inspired by the way a great film makes you feel like you're actually inside the story — the anticipation before something happens, the quiet moments between people, the movement, the atmosphere, and the unexpected frames you could never have planned. I photograph weddings with that same instinct, moving with what's already unfolding rather than forcing the day into a shot list or manufacturing moments. The images move between digital capture and authentic 35mm and medium-format film, giving each moment the rendering that suits it best — creating photographs that feel like frames from a film you happened to live inside.

Awarded Best of Zola
“After our first photographer fell through, we found Caz and luckily he happened to be available on our wedding date. From the very first contact, he was incredibly responsive (super important to us), friendly and professional. His work looked great so we were excited - then we found out he was featured in Vogue! We were stoked. He was amazing to work with on the wedding day - punctual, friendly, got all the requested shots, and the whole bridal party loved him. We got our pictures back today - and they’re so much better than we could have dreamed of. It’s no wonder he was featured in Vogue - his work is artistic, candid, and beautiful. Thank you Caz for giving us such beautiful memories so we can relive the best day of our lives.”

On the day of our wedding, she had this infectious energy that put everyone at ease—especially during those one-on-one shots that can feel awkward.

She went above and beyond to catch every beautiful and silly moment, which is exactly what we wanted. Candy is genuinely so incredibly talented and made our day feel special.

“Payton was a hidden gem that I found through an intense Instagram/Facebook search for a wedding photographer. I was starting to get discouraged with the outrageous pricing of some of the big name photographers in the Birmingham, AL area and disappointed with the gallery examples of some of the cheaper options. When she messaged me back, her rates are so reasonable and affordable and her Instagram really shows how vibrant and dreamy her previous galleries have turned out. I felt like I could really trust her with capturing our special memories, I was right. Prior to the wedding, she sent out a questionnaire asking about our photography priorities and mindset. Also recently she started including an engagement session when you book her for a wedding package!! A steal! We couldn’t be happier with our photos and our experience with a Payton. She also is a traveling queen, so if you’re not in Birmingham, AL, don’t be discouraged!”
