Why Charleston
Why Charleston is one of my favorite places to photograph Weddings
Charleston is where this entire journey began. I moved here after college chasing a dream of coaching college football. When that dream shifted, I picked up a camera and started spending every morning and evening photographing the city. Sunrises over the marsh, sunsets over the harbor, quiet moments on empty streets. I shared those images online and they started getting noticed by travel accounts and Charleston locals.
What started as a simple creative outlet turned into friends asking me to photograph their stories. Then their friends. Before long, my hobby became my full-time work, and I realized how much I loved documenting real moments for people.
Charleston has been part of my story for years. The pastel homes on Rainbow Row, the oak-lined paths at Magnolia Plantation, the golden light at Sullivan’s Island, and the romantic energy in the French Quarter all shape how I approach my work as a wedding photographer in Charleston SC. I know the spaces, the seasons, the lighting, and the rhythm of this city.

Stop shopping for a photographer/videographer right now! This is the guy you want! Brandon was definitely our favorite person to work with during our wedding planning journey. He communicated well with us during the whole process and made us feel like his top priority. He is super professional and thoughtful with his work. During our wedding day he stepped up to the plate when he noticed things were going amiss. He basically SAVED our day. We are truly grateful for him and all he did for us!!! Thank you again for everything and I can't wait to relive our wedding day over and over again.

Brandon wasn’t just our wedding photographer, he was a calm, reassuring presence during a day that felt like a whirlwind. While I was laughing, rushing around, and trying to take everything in, he quietly captured every moment with such care and intention. The photos are full of life and emotion, they truly feel like us. Beyond his incredible talent, Brandon made everyone feel at ease and genuinely seen. We’re so grateful he was there—not only as our photographer, but as a friend.
Katie and Kyle
Brandon was a dream to work with. He gave such clear direction, took all our ideas and made them happen, he made us comfortable and best of all, he’d model what the shot was gonna be. He texted back super quick, always took my calls, and was just such a dream. 13/10 would encourage anyone to work with him.
