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.”

Boone Hall Surprise Proposal

5.00Dennis was awesome, as he filled me in on everything there was to know about Charleston as well as all the potential spots that would look the best. He then took us to several locations and went well-fully over the agreed upon time. This allowed our special moment to not get cut short in any form or fashion. Overall, Dennis made our experience extremely valuable.

5.00We hired Dennis for our anniversary photo session, and the experience was incredible from start to finish. As a military veteran, I’m not always the most relaxed person in front of a camera, but Dennis’s sense of humor and jokes completely broke the ice. He made me loosen up and feel at ease, which allowed him to capture some truly genuine moments. He has a fantastic eye for detail and the photos turned out better than we could have imagined—he truly captured the essence of our relationship. If you're looking for a photographer who is professional, personable, and immensely talented, look no further than Dennis!

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
