One of the most photographed locations in Charleston. This famous row of colorful historic houses along East Bay Street creates a beautiful and vibrant backdrop for photos and is one of the city’s most iconic landmarks.
On this quiet historic street, I photograph guests with beautiful Charleston architecture, iron gates, and charming doorways. The soft light and classic homes create elegant portraits that feel timeless and very “Charleston.”

5.00Exceptional! Dennis was so wonderful to work with! He was kind, patient, not pushy, not rushed. Dennis genuinely cares about the quality of the captured memories. I have never met another photographer more conscientious - he knew exactly how to capture the best angles and his kind, thoughtful tips on how to position and adjust clothing, etc was spot on...it prevented me from having to ask for edits later. Dennis works in the most sincere and polite way~ he was an absolute pleasure! I don't know how he is able to give so much...because he truly gives each customer his full attention. Remarkably kind and polite! A treasure! Dennis' work is breathtaking! You will not be disappointed. He is a gifted, kind photographer who is reasonably priced and handles crowds and different settings, patient with dressing changes, and creates the best outcomes. Coming from the NYC area, we were very impressed and wish we lived closer to Dennis for future sessions.
Friendly and professional

5.00I had such a great experience with this photographer in Charleston, South Carolina. We took photos at Magnolia Plantation and Gardens and Cypress Gardens, and the whole session was honestly so much fun. Both locations were beautiful, but the way he captured everything made the photos even better. He has an amazing eye for angles and knew exactly how to position us to get the best shots. Every photo looked natural but also really professional. What I appreciated most was how well he gave directions. He made it really easy to know what to do so nothing felt awkward. He was also really funny and kept us laughing the entire time, which made the experience feel relaxed and natural. That definitely helped make the photos look more genuine. The photos turned out beautiful and I’m so happy with how everything came out. If you’re looking for a photographer in Charleston, I would definitely recommend him
