How do I find the perfect photographer?

When finding your perfect wedding photographer, engagement photographer, family photographer, senior portrait photographer, or photographer near you, ask yourself the following questions and trust your gut on your answers:

 

  1. Do I like this photographer’s editing style? There are hundreds of ways to edit a photo, and you want to ensure that you will be in love with the final result.
  2. Does your personality match with your photographer? This is SO important! If you do not feel comfortable around your photographer, then your pictures are more than likely not going to turn out the way you hoped. Your engagement photos, wedding photos, and/or family photos should be authentic and natural without feeling too posed and stiff.
  3. Is this photographer within your budget? Nowadays, we are all “ballin’ on a budget” (as they say), and there’s no need to break the bank on a photographer outside of your price range. More often than not, you can usually find a great photographer that is comparable to the expensive one you were wanting to hire, but for a more affordable price. Just do your research!

How much should I spend on a photographer?

The average photographer in Charleston, South Carolina will range between $200 and $600 per hour. Generally, the price of a photographer will vary depending on the following factors: years of experience, skill level, and popularity.

We all know that weddings almost always turn out to be more expensive than initially anticipated, making the average wedding in Charleston to be around $80,000.

How do I find a good photographer?

Most photographers in Charleston are found through referrals, whether that be a family or friend, wedding venue, or wedding vendor.

What to do if there is a weather prediction of rain on your wedding day or scheduled photoshoot session?

In the lowcountry areas of South Carolina like Hilton Head, Bluffton, Beaufort, Charleston, Mount Pleasant, and Isle of Palms, the weather changes by the hour. Depending on the season, we have rain showers in the Summer afternoons that could last for less than 20 minutes, or a sunny and warm day in the middle of February.
