About

I have been a photographer in the Charleston area for over twenty years. Just before Covid, I retired from offering my services to shoot large weddings (anything over four hours) and wanted to focus on more intimate weddings. I missed the opportunity to work with couples on such a special day and did not want to stop forever so I now offer:

INTIMATE WEDDINGS
ELOPEMENTS
VOW RENEWALS

I hope you will take the time to view my website and see my work. If you like what you see please give me a call. It is truly an honor to be asked to have such an important job on such a special day.

And, I am also a partner with Barefoot Bride SC (www.barfootbridesc.com) where we offer officiant and photography packages should you need that.

Thank you!

Lea

Lea Austen blends artistry with teleporting & sprinkles fairy-magic lighting to create photographic miracles! You can hardly imagine how gentle yet demanding, raw but finished, smooth plus textured...you name the combo--Lea creates artistic balance that lives in your wedding photos! Really--you need the pictures to speak the million words that would still never fully describe the teleporting-magical artistry that Lea Austen brings to creating wedding photography that puts FOREVER "I do FOREVER!!!!"

We were referred to Lea by friends of ours. My husband and I both attended our friends' wedding, but separately, and we had the same reaction to our friends' photographer: we didn't remember her. To us, this was a huge plus when looking for a wedding photographer. We didn't want someone who was "in your face" or pestered our guests. Well, we will never forget Lea now. She has captured our wedding day perfectly! We have so many gorgeous, natural looking photos. She was great to work with and just as she was referred to us, we will refer her to all of our friends in need of a fantastic photographer.

Lea is the best! We all loved working with her and getting to know her. She is very professional and just a delight to work with. Everyone at the reception just loved Lea! All the photos are absolutely beautiful and it is so hard to choose from the multitude of shots. I need not look any further for any future photography needs. Lea is the one!
