    Absolutely Recommend!

    South End Photography (Aka Photos by Keirsten) We are absolutely and forever in love with both our Engagement pictures and our Wedding pictures that Keirsten took for us! Our Engagement session was the first time we had met her and both my fiance and I immediately felt at ease. We are both camera-shy people and as the session progressed we became increasingly comfortable in front of the camera. Keirsten was amazing at delivering prompts and suggestions that resulted in *stunning* photos. If we had any ideas she was more than happy to hear us out! Day of the wedding, was an extremely similar experience. All the excitement culminating into one day, nerves can run a little high. But yet again, we were completely at ease with Keirsten and her team. We have so many amazing memories from that evening that captured beautifully, and some we didn’t even get to see personally. Our family later commented that she was like a ninja following us around because we were on the move, a lot (sorry, Keirsten! Lol). It was also her first time working our venue (Slate & Cypress in Calabash), so she took some time to scout locations upon arrival, and it paid off big time! I had been following South End Photography for a while and was so thrilled that our day was open on her books when I reached out. If you are looking for a photographer or are considering her services, *highly* suggest contacting her. Also, if you've read this far, thnak you... now go hire her :)

    Mrs.

    Keirsten was perfect in every way! From how friendly she is, how involved she was, every step she took made our day that much better! She not only took our engagement photos which came out AMAZING and straight up had my crying at work when I got our sneak peaks but she was also our wedding photographer! She got my compliments from family and guests as to how great she is and how professional and impressive she is! I couldn’t agree more! Our next big event will be a baby shower and I know whenever that day comes, Keirsten will be the first person I call to capture those moments too! I can’t thank you enough for everything you’ve done for us and CANNOT WAIT to get the rest of the wedding photos!

    The best!!

    I would recommend working with Keirsten to anyone! She made the whole process so easy from start to finish and was easily accessible for any and every question. Not only is her work and creativity incredible, but she is so kind and genuine and makes the whole photoshoot laid back and comfortable. For someone who is camera shy, I had a blast! The confidence she instills and the photos she creates is worth every penny and then some!

Real wedding inspiration featuring Photos By Keirsten

Show all photos
Typically, couples book me about 8-13 months before their wedding date. I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible about my availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame.
Sometimes, I’ll bring one or more assistant photographers depending on the size of your wedding.
Definitely. All final images will be edited for color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness to ensure they look beautiful. I also offer retouching services like blemish removal and teeth whitening for an additional charge.
My turnaround time varies by season. Typically, you’ll be able to view your photos online about 4-6 weeks after your wedding. I provide a sneak peak within the first 72 hours so you can share with your friends and family.
You can expect about 30 to 50 images per hour of photographing. But keep in mind this estimate varies depending on your wedding package, number of guests, venue type, and other factors.
