Amazing work!

I found Dennis online and from my first conversation with him I knew he was going to be incredible to work with. We don't live in South Carolina so Dennis was flexible on pushing the engagement photos until after the actual wedding when we had time (and he made them more of our first family photos which is great!). He also is so affordable while still offering a great package which was so helpful for keeping to our budget. On the day of our wedding Dennis and his second shooter Madison were professional, kept to the time schedule and somehow came out with the most amazing photos I could ever ask for! In addition he was hilarious, so when you're exhausted from smiling he still got a genuine smile and laugh from you for the photos. If you want works of art for your big day, CHOOSE DENNIS AND CHARLESTON PHOTO ART!!

Engagement & Wedding

Dennis was a BREEZE to work with! He’s funny, he’s genuine and he cares A LOT about the quality of service he’s providing! We loved our engagement photos and from the sneak peak of our wedding photos, we love those too! He made sure we were comfortable the whole time he was taking photos. We will, without a doubt, use Charleston Photo Art for any/all future photography needs!

Makes you feel amazing

Dennis makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. His bright editing brings the photos to life. I would recommend to anyone who just wants to enjoy their wedding have a photographer capture the real moments.

Absolutely amazing!

Jake originally booked Dennis for a secret engagement session, and we booked him for my bridal portraits and our wedding. He was always so friendly, made us laugh, and performed exceptional services. Dennis knows how to pose you, the best locations for photos, and is considerate and timely with getting the photos back to you. We can’t recommend him enough, and your pictures will look like a fairytale and such good quality! Thank you for everything Dennis!

Perfect Photography Wedding Experience

Charleston Photo Art did a wonderful job photographing our wedding. Our expectations were far exceeded. Dennis (owner) was easy to communicate with and had a quick response time. Photo pricing/packages were up front as specified on his website. On the day of our wedding Dennis and his team were prompt and knew how to keep us smiling for the perfect shot!

Wedding Photographer/Videographer

Dennis is an AMAZING photographer! He made my husband and I comfortable the moment we met him. He is also quite funny! Dennis works at capturing every moment he can during any event! We loved having him as our photographer/videographer, and would recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. We are even planning on using him again in the future for pictures!

Amazing Beyond Words, Just Look At His Photos

We just finished looking through all of our wedding pictures with Dennis--I'm not sure my review can do his talents justice. Honestly, he made me so comfortable on my wedding day, and his other photographer, Shannon, was amazing and so sweet to work with too. His photography is unique, and his eye for details and enthusiasm is just such a breath of fresh air, I love his passion for his work and you can tell he cares so much about his clients. He can take the shyest of people and make the experience so much fun. My wedding was a dual ceremony and time was a challenge, yet his team did not miss a beat and he captured the day BEAUTIFULLY, and not once did I feel rushed and you would never tell by the pictures that we were on a timeline. You cannot beat his prices, and when you see his work, you'll want to pay for even more pictures beyond what you initially paid for (which he will NEVER force on you, but will very kindly explain what options you have). I look forward to working with Dennis for all future milestones and cannot recommend him enough. We did our engagement pictures with Dennis as well, and he just keeps amazing us over and over again. I've attached two of our engagement photos to give you an idea of his amazing work.

12/10 would recommend!

Seriously, our experience is beyond a 10/10. Dennis and his team were everything we could’ve dreamed of and more. The attentiveness, professionalism, personality, experience, just everything! If you’re looking for an amazing photographer to capture your most precious memories, look no further. You are in the absolute best hands. I can’t wait to use Dennis again for our next milestone!

Great elopement style experience!

Dennis was a perfect choice for our elopement style ceremony at White Point Gardens in Charleston. We had about 25 people in attendance, including kids and grandparents. Dennis dealt well with large groups and gave us a wide variety of poses to choose from. After we got all the group pictures finished, the two of us went around the nearby streets with Dennis. He found lots of unique places to photograph us and we had so many choices of images because of the speed and efficiency with which Dennis worked. Overall, Dennis handled large groups and small groups well, he has a great personality, and he was able to direct two people who aren't very comfortable with photos!
