Mount Pleasant Wedding Photographer
Getting married? We’ve photographed hundreds of weddings all over the world. And what we love about Mount Pleasant weddings are the stunning backdrops on the water, the laid-back Lowcountry vibe, and the logistical ease of being outside of busy downtown Charleston. If you’re planning a wedding in Mount Pleasant or the Charleston area, we’d love to talk with you!
Mount Pleasant Family Photographer
For Mount Pleasant families, there’s no need to go into downtown Charleston just for your family portraits. You have so many beautiful locations right where you are.
Mount Pleasant is one of the best locations in the Charleston area for family photos. Because it’s more residential, there is usually plenty of parking. And because it’s not a typical tourist destination, the crowds are smaller. For most of our Mount Pleasant family sessions, we take photos at our clients’ homes first, and then venture off to their local park. Family photos don’t have to be complicated or over the top. We love celebrating the love and connections in your family, and we don’t need a fancy backdrop for that. That said, below are our favorite Mount Pleasant photo locations.
Best locations for Mount Pleasant family photos:
Creek Club at I’On: Outside at the Creek Club, an event venue in Mount Pleasant, there’s a beautiful dock and marsh area. In the afternoons, the sun comes through the trees and everything just looks magical. Especially if you live in I’on, we would love to photograph you here! The photo below is from that very spot.
Pitt Street Bridge: The Pitt Street Bridge is now just a beautiful bridge to nowhere. However, it once was the only way to get from Mount Pleasant to Sullivan’s Island and Isle of Palms. It was a trolley bridge from 1898 to 1927, was widened in 1923 to fit cars, and was closed in 1945 once the Ben Sawyer Bridge was completed. It’s now a pedestrian bridge that juts south into Charleston Harbor.
Because of its positioning, you can get a great sunset here. Furthermore, you can have the Cooper River Bridge in the background of your photos. Park along the side of the road leading to the bridge, and then it’s just a short walk out. The views are amazing on all sides, and you can watch fishermen try their luck from the many fishing outposts.
The Old Village: Everyone loves the Old Village of Mount Pleasant. It is quaint and picturesque. Moreover, it feels like you’re going back in time to a simpler, quieter Mount Pleasant. You’ll pass through the Old Village on your way to the Pitt Street Bridge. In addition, you’ll see the James B. Edwards Passive Park. It’s not much, but it makes for a beautiful backdrop of sunlit trees in the afternoons. What’s more, we were even able to catch some Fall colors in the November photo session below (which is rare for Charleston).

Mount Pleasant Headshot Photographer
For business headshots, we often bring our portable studio setup directly to our clients at their office or home – including a backdrop and professional lighting. We also offer headshot sessions outdoors at a location that gives context to your work. For example, Mount Pleasant realtor headshots are effective when photographed in the area you normally serve. Show your clients you know these neighborhoods inside and out! For other outdoor headshots in Mount Pleasant, sometimes all you need is a beautiful, natural backdrop of greenery, water, of the Ravenel Bridge. And you’re always welcome in our studio just five minutes north of downtown Charleston.
Mount Pleasant Senior Portrait Photographer
There’s a reason why so many families live in Mount Pleasant, and it’s not just because of the world-class beaches and beautiful homes. The public schools are fantastic, and so are the seniors which go to them. Each new graduating class brings a new breath of possibility into the world, and we love helping hold on to that confidence each young adult has in them.
We’re not your standard, cookie-cutter senior photographers. We photograph their talents, their curiosities, and their inner drive to achieve something big. And for the parents, we give them photographs that show the adult they have become, but also the baby they helped nurture into the world. As parents ourselves, we get it. We want them to see the world, but protect them from it at the same time. This final year of high school is important, and it deserves pictures that show it.
