Charleston South Carolina - Wedding photo & Video
Your love deserves to be captured with the same depth and artistry as the moments you hold closest. Not just seen, but felt. The way your fingers instinctively find each other’s. The way the light softens as the day fades. The weight of their embrace, the quiet spaces in between, the laughter that lingers long after the moment has passed.
This is what you’ll remember—not just how it looked, but how it lived. The way your love moved through the day, surrounded by the people who know your hearts best. Charleston holds history in its streets, warmth in its golden light, and a kind of magic that makes every moment feel timeless.

HI! I'm Debbie
A creative soul with a love for romance
I’m based in Virginia, but Charleston has never felt far. I’ve lived in the Lowcountry, spent years returning to its shores, and know it well—the way the light filters through the moss at sunset, the quiet beauty in its hidden streets, the rhythm of celebrations held in its storied spaces. Traveling here for weddings isn’t a job; it’s something I look forward to every time.
And that’s how I approach weddings—with a sense of familiarity, ease, and a deep understanding of how moments unfold. Moving with you, not around you. Letting the day breathe, so nothing ever feels rushed—just real, honest, and full of life.
You don’t need every detail figured out to know what truly matters. A wedding that feels effortless. A space where you can be fully present, surrounded by the people who know your heart best.
When you look back, I want you to remember not just how it all looked, but how deeply you felt it.
Intentional Experiences
A day designed with care and purpose, where every moment feels natural and true to you. From exchanging vows on a mountaintop that’s easy to access, to a candlelit ceremony in an art gallery, or sailing off the coast to toast on a boat—every part of your experience is planned to feel seamless, memorable, and entirely yours.
Authentic Self-Expression
A celebration that honors your story and reflects what makes your love one of a kind. Saying “I do” in the spot where you first connected, living out your Outlander dreams in Scotland, or blending personal traditions into every detail. Your day will be as unique as the journey that brought you here.

There are moments so quiet, so fleeting, that they almost slip away—the way they look at you when no one else is watching, the stillness in the air just before you say their name, the way the light softens as the day unfolds. These are the details that matter. The ones that don’t ask to be noticed but deserve to be remembered.
With an intentional, unobtrusive approach, every movement, every connection, every unscripted second is honored as it happens—preserved not just as something to look back on, but as something that still feels alive.
INVESTMENT: $500 hourly rate (6 hour minimum)
Some memories exist in motion—the echo of laughter in a quiet room, the shift in emotion as words are spoken, the feeling of being fully present in a moment that is already becoming the past. This is where movement holds its meaning.
With a seamless, storytelling-driven approach, every element is woven together as a reflection of the day itself—the energy, the rhythm, the emotion. A way to return, not just to how it looked, but to how it felt.
INVESTMENT: $500 hourly rate (6 hour minimum)
Some details are etched in memory—the intricate lace of a dress, the flicker of candlelight, the way their hand lingers in yours. Others unfold in motion—the soft sway of the first dance, the joyful chaos of the dance floor, the way laughter ripples through the room.
Together, photography and cinematography capture both—the still and the unfolding, the quiet and the unrestrained. A way to not just remember, but to return—to feel the weight of every moment as if it were happening all over again.
INVESTMENT: $875 hourly rate (6 hour minimum)
For weddings with a larger guest list, multiple locations, or a venue with expansive spaces, having a second photographer or cinematographer ensures that every moment is covered. When the day moves quickly, and meaningful interactions happen in different places at once, an additional perspective helps capture it all.
A second photographer or cinematographer allows for a fuller, more nuanced retelling of your day. It’s for those who want to see not just where they were, but what was happening all around them—the energy, the anticipation, the emotion woven together into one complete experience.
For the Moments Happening All at Once
Second Photographer or Cinematographer – $75 per hour
As much as I'd love to clone myself and be in two spots at once, it's a lot easier to get extra coverage if you choose to have a second for the day

frequently asked questions
Photography and cinematography are woven together as one complete story. By working as a team, we move with the natural rhythm of the day, ensuring that nothing feels intrusive or staged. The flow remains effortless—capturing both the stillness and movement of your wedding in a way that feels seamless, intentional, and true to the experience.
Travel expenses are calculated once your venue has been selected. The travel expenses are non-refundable.
My approach is rooted in storytelling, allowing moments to unfold naturally. But when needed—for portraits, family photos, and any intentionally posed images—I will gently guide you, ensuring everything feels effortless and aligned with the energy of the day. The result is a balance of artful direction and honest, unscripted moments.
I typically require 8-12 weeks for proper editing as I edit these myself with the upmost care. I do offer sneak peeks that will give you a great snapshot of your day until the gallery is complete. You will receive it as an online gallery link through your email that you provide to me.
I describe my photography as a mix of fine art, editorial and documentary style photography. I don't cater to one because they each bring so much depth and authenticity to the day.
The images in your gallery will be edited to improve lighting, contrast, sharpness, and color — all of which is a standard process for digital photographers. With that, I do not provide the unedited RAW images for any reason.
A second photographer is an additional aspect that could be useful. Especially if the area/location is large, or if there are two getting ready locations, etc. So while you are getting portraits don by me, the second photographer will be busy in another part of the wedding capturing all the festivities.
A blend of cinematic, documentary, and storytelling-driven filmmaking. The goal is to create something timeless—something that feels like the day itself, not just a highlight reel. Every element is woven together with care, preserving the emotions, energy, and movement in a way that feels natural and deeply personal.
I work with a trusted team of capable photographers who will step in seamlessly, capturing your day with the same care and approach that I would. Every image will still be edited by me, ensuring the final gallery reflects the vision and artistry you expect.
Yes, these can be added for a small fee. If you’d love a short, shareable glimpse of your wedding day before the full film is ready, a teaser edit is the perfect way to relive those first emotions.
Having Debbie as our photographer was such a great experience! She’s fun – a little sassy – and has such a creative eye. Throughout our time together, she was extremely accommodating and made us feel comfortable and relaxed the entire time. She goes above and beyond in all aspects and truly makes your day look and feel like a fairytale.

Debbie went above and beyond, scouting our location and offering a free engagement shoot before our wedding. She was organized, responsive, and arrived early to capture every moment with ease. From thoughtful direction to blending in seamlessly, she made everything effortless. As someone in the events industry, I can say Debbie is a gem!
olivia + peter
Debbie came all the way from Virginia to Acadia National Park in Maine to shoot our elopement and the photos are even more than we could've ever asked for! She was so professional and did an excellent job of helping us plan out the day to get the perfect shots. I felt so comfortable and beautiful throughout the entire experience, even though I don't typically enjoy getting my photo taken. Debbie went above and beyond, I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and talented photographer.
