Kelsey
(120)

I'm an adventurous and laid back photographer originally from Maine, but loving life here in Charleston. I've had a camera in my hand for as long as I can remember, and have been a professional photographer since 2016. My style is true-to-life, classic, and relaxed.

Kate
(65)

I have been a photographer for 12 years and I have always been drawn to the more natural, candid images, since those let my clients shine the most! I often blend that with some comfortable posing to get the best of both worlds. My editing style is film-inspired and vibrant!

Emma
(26)

I am passionate about connection and documenting people's stories in a way that they will be able to look at a photo ten years from now and remember exactly how they felt in that moment in time. My photography style is timeless, bright and warm. I love a good balance of classic poses as well as the authenticity of the in between moments and your most candid emotions.

Kara
(48)

I would describe my photography style as joyful and bright, with pops of color! I just love the warmth and happiness of memories filled with laughter and sunlight. A moment is fleeting; our little ones will not always be little and those we love will not be with us forever & our memories hold some of the biggest treasures of our hearts. I have been featured in several local magazines (in my home state), awarded Best of Knot 2021 and 2022, published on different blogs such as Zola, Burnett's Boards, Peer Space - "12 Best Photographers in Charleston, SC", The Perfect Palette and more!

Kortney
(13)

I am an adventurous and energetic mom of two who is also a 5th grade teacher. My students and husband would say I'm a bit silly at times, but what is life without a good laugh?! I describe my style as Natural and Vibrant which captures the essence of life's spirited moments, unposed and bursting with genuine emotion. It's like stepping into a warm hug, a visual celebration of life's unscripted moments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are some proposal tactics to choose from?

expand_less expand_more
  • Friendly Tourist: Your Flytographer, posing as a friendly tourist, will offer to take a photo of you and your partner.
  • Vacation Cover: Let your partner know that you’ve booked a regular couple’s photo shoot so you can prepare for the photo shoot together without suspicion.
  • Fly on the Wall: Your photographer will remain hidden for the actual proposal. While this allows for an intimate moment, it is the most risky as passersby could interrupt your shot.
  • Customized: We are happy to adjust these scenarios if you have another idea in mind for how you would like your proposal to go!

Will I be connected with my proposal photographer directly?

expand_less expand_more

Yes! Immediately after you book your Flytographer in Charleston, you will be connected via email to begin the proposal planning process together and create the perfect plan. You can choose from one of the above proposal scenarios, or share another idea, and ask them any specific questions you might have leading up. Your photographer will be able to share their favourite tips on how to plan your Charleston proposal.

What is the difference between a proposal and engagement shoot?

expand_less expand_more

Your proposal photo shoot with us in Charleston would involve your Flytographer capturing the moment when you get down on one knee to surprise your partner with a marriage proposal. After the big moment in a proposal photo shoot, you can transition to taking engagement photos if you choose a longer session.

Engagement photo shoots with us would take place after the proposal moment (when you are already engaged) and involve capturing your newly engaged bliss. If you are already engaged, you can book a normal engagement session rather than a proposal photo shoot.
