The best wedding photographers (and people) in Charleston!!

Gosh, where do I even begin… Franzi and Martin are absolutely amazing. Their ability to transform even the simplest settings into captivating, story-driven moments is a true testament to their talent. Through their photojournalistic style, they brought our wedding to life, capturing every raw and genuine moment. Their timeless photos are so immersive that we can relive every emotion and detail as if we’re right back in the moment.

We first met Franzi and Martin for our engagement shoot, and my husband and I were both nervous since being in front of a camera doesn’t come naturally to us. Before we started, they took the time to chat with us, get to know us, and offer helpful tips on how to pose. Their guidance and positive energy made the whole experience feel comfortable, light, and fun, allowing us to relax and just be ourselves. It’s not an easy task to capture people who aren’t used to being in front of a camera, but they do it with such ease.

Beyond their expertise, they were the most pleasant and professional people to work with. From start to finish, they always made themselves available to answer my questions (no matter how big or small) and worked closely with me to make sure our wedding timeline was as seamless as possible.

Choosing the right photographer for your wedding day is crucial since they’ll be with you all day, and Franzi and Martin are exactly who you want by your side. They’re punctual, prepared for any unexpected road bumps, and bring a calming presence that will make your day stress-free and enjoyable. I can’t recommend them enough! If you’re looking for photographers who are not only exceptionally skilled but also genuinely invested in making your day perfect, Franzi and Martin are the best choice!

Must-Have Photographer

I couldn’t possibly say enough good things about Franzi. From the very start, her professionalism and genuine care were abundantly clear as she took the time to truly connect with us. We worked with Franzi for our engagement photoshoot, rehearsal dinner, and wedding day, and we couldn’t have made a better choice. Her photography style is timeless, and our galleries left us speechless. As someone who can get overstimulated, having Franzi by our side on our wedding day was the best decision we made. You spend so much of your wedding day with your photographer (sometimes more than with the person you’re marrying!), so it’s essential to have someone with the right energy for you. Franzi and Martin are both calm, collected, and incredibly kind. They kept us on track, but if things ran behind, we would’ve never known. They worked seamlessly with our planner and other vendors, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. I can hardly believe someone as talented as Franzi is as genuinely goodhearted as she is. Thank you, Franzi, for capturing our memories in such a divine way—we will cherish these photos forever!

So so happy we went with Franzi for our wedding. She is an incredible photographer with an amazing eye, and went above and beyond to capture moments we wanted. Her editing style is amazing and makes the photos feel so authentic. Plus she is very professional and helped keep everything on track while not feeling rushed at all. Highly recommend!

Absolute class act 🤍

It took me a little while to review Franzi and Martin because it is hard to find the words… they are an absolute dream to work with. From the very beginning of wedding planning Franzi was there helping me find my eye for how I wanted things to turn out on our big day. She was able to produce the most gorgeous wedding pictures and engagement pictures. I am still in awe every time I see them. From regular photography, to film, to drone and everything in between. Simply the greatest people/husband and wife to work with. I highly recommend Franzi and Martin 🤍

THE best photographers in Charleston!

We couldn't be happier with our decision to hire Franzi Annika Photography for our wedding in Charleston, SC! From start to finish, they were an absolute dream to work with. They made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and the photos they captured truly took our breath away. Every single moment, from the intimate glances to the fun-filled moments on the dance floor, was perfectly documented.

They really took the time to understand our vision and brought it to life in a way that exceeded our expectations. If you're looking for a photographer who is professional, talented, and truly cares about capturing the magic of your special day, look no further. We are forever grateful for the memories they created for us!

Incredibly talented, intentional, and genuinely caring photographer!!

I cannot recommend Franzi and Martin highly enough!! From the moment we met, Franzi made me feel incredibly comfortable and at ease. Her attention to detail and intentionality throughout the entire process was truly exceptional. We were so blessed to have her capture our engagement photos, a night of my bachelorette trip, and our wedding. We also used her associate for our rehearsal dinner, and Franzi edited the photos to perfection. Franzi and Martin went above and beyond to capture every special moment of our wedding, and their thoughtful approach made the whole experience so enjoyable. The photos turned out absolutely stunning and perfectly reflect the love and joy of the day. If you're looking for a wedding photographer who is both talented and genuinely caring, Franzi is the one to choose!!

You won’t find photographers more skilled or personable than Franzi and Martin!

You won’t find photographers more skilled or personable than Franzi and Martin! They photographed our engagement in Charleston, SC, rehearsal dinner and wedding in Boston, MA. We cannot recommend them highly enough for your next engagement session, wedding, or event! Working with them was a dream and we feel so lucky to have met them.

First, if you took all the photography away, Franzi and Martin will enhance your wedding day just by being a part of it. They are warm, funny and fit right in with the gals/guys and families. They also got along and coordinated so well with our venue, floral designer and planner - everyone loved working with them. We all felt so comfortable around them and this is reflected in the natural, beautiful photos.

They are also incredibly professional, prepared and organized. The morning of the wedding, they had already scouted and planned all of the locations for the first look, family and bridal party photos, and husband/wife shots. We didn’t have to do or think about a thing in terms of photos the entire day - we just followed their lead! During the ceremony and reception, they were so subtle in taking their photos. We were able to enjoy the day without it feeling like a photoshoot.

The photos were simply stunning. We have gotten so many compliments on how unique and personal our photos are. Most importantly, they feel like us, because Franzi and Martin got to know us throughout this process. We had such a hard time putting together an album because we had too many favorites to choose from!

One of the guiding values for choosing our wedding vendors was to find true artists who are passionate about their craft and then trust them to work their magic. Franzi and Martin are just that - artists. We wanted them to have complete creative control and freedom and would encourage everyone who works with them to do the same - your photos will be gorgeous, and your wedding day memories will be made better because Franzi and Martin were there.

Highly highly recommend!

I cannot recommend working with Franzi and Martin enough! As we were planning the wedding, Franzi was super communicative and helpful. On the day of the wedding, she and Martin could not have been more professional, efficient, and fun to work with. They knew exactly what shots they needed, and made sure to capture all the portraits we wanted while still giving my husband and I the chance to relax, soak it all in, and enjoy time with our family and friends. And we LOVE our pictures! They captured the feel of our wedding day, and of us, so perfectly. We will cherish looking through our album, and all of our pictures, for many years to come. My husband and I are both so glad we chose to work with Franzi and Martin.

A Million Stars!!!!!

Words can't even describe how incredible Franzi's work is. She photographed our engagement session, my boudoir shoot, and our wedding day, and she left my jaw on the floor every. single. time. Franzi has a way of making you feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and her eye for what special moments will make stunning photos is completely unmatched! She really makes an effort to get to know her couples and becomes so much more than just a photographer. We hope to involve Franzi in every big life moment from now on!! A million stars!!!!!!!

Great experience!

Franzi and Martin were incredible to work with and we couldn't be happier with the photos we had taken for our engagement and wedding. Their communication and organization with us as well as other venders was top notch. They made our wedding day run smoothly. We felt as ease when the cameras were pointed as us because they gave us great posing instructions but also are very kind and put our minds at ease. If you're looking for a wedding photographer, look no further since this is the best!
