The Charleston-based photographers at Chrisman Studios have been photographing weddings, families, headshots, and people from all walks of life since 2005. We love what we do, and we are excited to hear how we can photograph you and the people you love in the most beautiful and honest way possible.
Destination Wedding Photographer – We have photographed 800+ weddings in over 30 countries (even Mongolia for Mongolians). So whether you’re getting married in your backyard on a horse farm, in a vineyard in wine country, or at the Sanctuary on Kiawah Island, we’ve got you covered.
Charleston Wedding Photographer – Erin grew up in Charleston, and in 2015, we (Ben and Erin) moved to downtown Charleston to start a family. We live just a few blocks from Hampton Park and love getting to photograph weddings here (especially Lowndes Grove because it has an awesome sunset and dock).
Charleston Family Photographer – Once we became parents, documenting families took on a new importance to us. Now, we are honored to have families choose us year after year to follow their families as their children grow up. It’s almost like we’re all growing up together.
Charleston Headshot Photographer – We are not your typical headshot photographers. We want to learn what you’re passionate about, why you chose your career and what you want to say to the world with what you do. These aren’t just headshots. They are portraits of who you are at this point in your life. It’s an honor for us to help you celebrate that!
Charleston Maternity Photographer – When our daughter sees the black and white prints on our wall of Erin pregnant, she knows where she came from. She sees the strength her mother had and the happiness she felt as she carried her for nine months. There’s a power in maternity photos you don’t realize until after the birth. And you only have one chance to do it for each child. It’s easy to be shy and think it doesn’t really matter. It does. We want to help you make it happen, for you and for them.
Charleston Proposal Photographer – Charleston is a spectacular, romantic backdrop for a proposal. We’d love to be there for you to capture the exact moment it happens, along with all the joyful, emotional reactions. Afterward, we will do engagement photos for you! Our proposal guide will help you plan the perfect proposal in Charleston.
Charleston Engagement Photographer – Whether you are planning to propose in Charleston, or already have the ring on, we know how magical this moment in time is for you. The year before we got married felt like a dream, and we want that same feeling for you. Let us help you hold on to that so you can always look at the photos from this time and get that same excitement for each other you have right now.
Charleston Senior Portrait Photographer – When you look at your high school senior, who is about to enter the big world on their own for the first time, you see everything. Their potential. Their enthusiasm. Their promise. Their fearlessness. Their naivety. But you mostly see your little baby, who’s not such a baby anymore. You want to hold on to that. Hold them close. And it’s our job to help you do that with photos you see on your wall every day, so even though they are away at college, you know they are also right there with you and always will be.
Charleston Vacation Photographer – There’s a good reason why Charleston tops so many lists of the best places to visit and vacation in the United States. We have it all: great weather, warm water, amazing beaches, world-class restaurants, elite golf courses, history at every turn, and people who are as polite as they can be.
Charleston Corporate Event Photography – Planning a conference or corporate retreat in Charleston? We will join you at your resort or rental property to provide on-site professional headshots and documentary photography of meetings, workshops, team-building, presentations, dinners, parties – even golf tournaments! You’ll love having these cohesive, professional, fun photos for your company website, annual reports, newsletters, and social media.
Charleston Editorial Photographer – We come from journalism. It’s in our blood. It’s why we love documentary photography. It’s why we love asking questions that no one else has ever asked you. It’s why we are who we are. And everything we do at Chrisman Studios relates to where it all began, caring about people and looking for what others might not see. We’re always searching for the truth in everyone’s story. And we hope we get to be a part of yours next.
