Natural, Story-Driven Wedding Photography in Charleston, SC

Capturing real moments as they unfold, with thoughtful guidance and an eye for connection.

 

I photograph weddings with a documentary, photojournalistic approach, focusing on genuine connection, movement, and emotion. My style is bright, natural, and true to life, with careful attention to composition and light in camera, and thoughtful editing that enhances rather than transforms.

Based in the greater Charleston, SC area, I specialize in weddings while also offering portraits for couples and families who value imagery that feels effortless, honest, and timeless.

A Calm, Intentional Approach

The best photographs happen when people feel comfortable enough to be themselves. I’ll guide you when it’s helpful, then step back and let moments unfold naturally. No stiff posing, no forced smiles.

Whether it’s a quiet breath before the ceremony or a full dance floor later in the evening, my goal is to document your day as it felt, not just how it looked.

Weddings

From intimate celebrations to full wedding weekends, I approach each wedding as a story worth documenting with care. I work closely with couples to create space for natural moments while ensuring everything is photographed beautifully and efficiently.

Portraits

I also offer portrait sessions for couples and families who prefer a relaxed, prompt-based experience focused on interaction rather than perfection. Sessions are guided but natural, allowing real connection to shine through.

Kelly, of Photos by Kelly, is a Charleston-area wedding photographer specializing in naturally documented weddings, elopements, and portraits.
