F.A.Q.'s

What's Included?

There are absolutely no extra charges for my services. All packages include coverage time of the actual wedding, editing of all images, and delivery of the digital photographs. You will have full rights to all of your images. All I ask is if you share anything on social media, through print, etc. that you give me credit, please!

How Will I Receive My Wedding Photos?

Your photos will be delivered to you via the wonderful & easy-to-use website: Pixieset! Pixieset is an online service that allows me to create your personal digital wedding gallery, then send it to you via email. Once your wedding gallery is available, you will receive an email invitation from Pixieset with a download code that allows you to download all of your photos from the link. You may share your gallery with as many family and friends as you wish with an unlimited amount of downloads. Additionally, you may order prints directly from the Pixieset website. If you would like to view a preview Pixieset wedding album that one of my past couples has approved for me to share so you can become familiar with Pixieset please let me know!

How Many Photos Should I Expect To Receive & When Will I Receive Them?

You will receive approximately 100-150 images per hour of coverage time (approximately 1000 images total for eight-hour coverage). Typically, your images will be available for you to view in six to ten weeks after your Big Day. However, I will send you a few preview images one to two weeks after your wedding day!

Where Are You Located?

In Charleston, South Carolina aka "The Holy City"!

Do You Travel? If So, What Are Your Travel Fees?

ABSOLUTELY! I am always ready to take a trip whether it be domestic or international! I have photographed destination weddings in Mexico, Alabama, North Carolina, Georgia, Texas, and the list goes on.

What Do We Need To Do To Book With You?

I need two things from you in order to have you booked! (1) Fill out & sign my contract. (2) Put down a deposit.

How Much Is The Deposit?

Your deposit is a THIRD (1/3rd) OF THE TOTAL PRICE of the package you have decided on.

Can We Have The RAW Files?

Unfortuantely, no.

This All Sounds WONDERFUL But Just In Case Do You Have INSURANCE?

I sure do! If your venue or anybody needs proof of my insurance please let me know and I will be happy to share it with you!

Best Wedding Photographer!

We started planning our wedding about two years before the date and met with Keller on one of our trips to Charleston. He was great to work with during the entire planning process, our engagement photos and wedding photos. We had well over a hundred e-mails back and forth during the planning process and he always answered all of my questions. Our engagement and wedding photos both look like photos from a magazine. Everyone at the wedding enjoyed working with Keller. He and his assistant were easy going, took amazing photos, they were on time and we were even able to start the ceremony early. We only had Keller there for four hours during our wedding day but, we were able to achieve all of the photos we wanted and more. Go ahead and book Keller for all of your engagement, bridal and wedding photos you will not regret. Make sure to check out his website for a sample of his amazing photos.

Best Photographer Around!

My wife and I had a small intimate wedding in August 2018. We reached out to multiple photographers and we knew Keller was the one right away. Most of the others that we contacted either didn't reply, didn't want to meet to discuss wedding day plans or didn't feel like it would be worth their time. Keller promptly replied and asked us to meet right away to talk through our plans and expectations. Keller made the whole "wedding process" seem like it was nothing more than just a small photo shoot. One of the best parts about working with Keller is that he was extremely laid back and actually acted like more of a friend, rather than a businessman. His attention to detail, creativity and keen eye for perfect pictures was phenomenal. We couldn't be happier with our decision!!

Is there a rating higher than 5 stars?!

Seriously can’t recommend Keller enough! He’s awesome! He works with you from the very beginning to capture what you envision for your wedding, down to the details of shots that you want taken. He is professional, but makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. His fun loving personality meets his passion and talent for photography, and the result is some seriously awesome photos! He’s affordable, and worth every penny! Book him for your wedding- it’ll be one of he easiest decisions for wedding planning you’ll make!

We hired Keller for my husband and I’s wedding and couldn’t be any happier with both the experience of working with Keller and with our final wedding photos. Keller’s photography style is classic and he is excellent at capturing both posed shots and the emotion of candid moments. Keller was easy to work with from the very beginning by being very responsive, friendly, and wanting to understand what we wanted for our wedding photography. He made my husband and I feel very comfortable during the posed photos, and captured some of our favorite candid moments. Keller gets my absolute highest recommendation!

We hired Keller for our daughter's wedding in Mobile, AL. We met with him prior to the wedding and found Keller to be very personable and professional . He was easy to reach and responded quickly to all communications. We appreciated Keller's calm manner on the day of the wedding. It was such a delight to see the pictures from the wedding and I found myself smiling as the photos took me back to such a special day for our family and for our daughter and son-in-law. We give Keller the highest of recommendations.

Keller and his team were amazing ! My husband and I , and even our guest had an amazing time shooting with them! Keller is super creative and was able to make my NYE Wedding a dream come true! Dark lighting in our ballroom and night shooting was a big concern of mine and every one of my pictures the lighting turned out perfect! I highly recommend his services!
