    The Best Photographer!

    Rhett with Marley photography was simply AMAZING! He was so patient when we were running a little behind on schedule and still made sure to get every single shot! He sent me some sneak peeks within 24 hours that were breathtaking! It has just made me even more eager to see the final results! You can truly tell that Rhett is not only a highly skilled photographer but also an artist! He made sure to get all the best shots! I am soooo excited we went with Rhett Marley and wouldn't have wanted to use anyone else for our big day! Thanks Rhett!!

    great experience

    Rhett was a pleasure to work with and we are very happy with the outcome of our photos! Our wedding was a destination wedding and working with someone via email and the phone feels like rolling the dice but we were so intrigued by Rhett's work we saw online and felt even better after several email exchanges with him. He was very professional and willing to work with us when it came to our unique venue as well as working with our two dogs to get great shots of our "furmily" :) He went above and beyond to make sure that our wants were met.

    Marley Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much Tammy! Your dogs were so adorable and I loved our little family portrait session in the midst of your wedding haha. I had such a great time working with you and Kyrill. Thank you for taking the time to write such a sweet review and for the opportunity to photograph such an important milestone in your life! :)

    Absolutely magical!

    Marley Photography is absolutely phenomenal. Rhett is an absolute gem and a pleasure to work with. He is so kind and friendly, he makes you feel absolutely comfortable as soon as he arrives. Our pictures are absolutely MAGICAL! I am over the moon about how incredible they are. I can't thank Rhett enough for capturing all the special and fun moments on our wedding day. We could not have asked for a better photographer. Rhett was such a joy to have and such a phenomenal photographer. We cannot wait to have these put up in our home!

    Amazing Photographer

    Rhett was delightful to work with and took the time to get to know us and find out our likes/dislikes ahead of time. He produced beautiful still, candid, and posed photos. He somehow managed to get every shot without you knowing he was there. Not disruptive at all. He provides you the ability to download all of your pictures at the end. Price below reflects 8 hrs of photography but he has several packages available. Please do not hesitate to hire him for your wedding photography - you will not be disappointed.

    Marley Photography's reply:

    Thank you Susan for the sweet review! I had such a great time working with you and Don for your Wild Dunes Resort wedding! ❤️

    The absolute best!!!!

    Just the best. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.

    We hired Rhett early on in our wedding planning process for both engagement and wedding photos after looking at reviews and his work… of all of our wedding planning decisions, it was one of the best. He is a pleasure to work with — kind, fun, extremely creative, and has that rare ability to keep everyone loose and smiling. He is very professional and communication never lacked. His turnaround time was less than a week for both engagement and wedding photos.

    And his work speaks for itself. Absolutely. Magnificent. We are unbelievably grateful to Rhett for sharing his talent with us and providing us with such beautiful photos that we will have to look back on for the rest of our lives.

    There is not an endorsement for him that is strong enough. Just hire him and you will be so happy you did. the wedding industry and world needs more Rhett’s.

    Marley Photography's reply:

    Thank you Kristin for this wonderful review!! You and Marcus were such an amazing couple to work with! It was a fun challenge on my end to try to get Marcus to smile for the photos haha. I'm so glad to hear that you love your finished product. Thanks again!

    Easy going + professional!

    I had the opportunity to work with Rhett on a wedding last Spring at The Wickliffe House. He was so relaxed and easy going, while still capturing all of those gorgeous wedding photos. The getting ready space, ceremony, and reception were all at different locations. Rhett had to lug his equipment (and set it up and break it down) countless times throughout the day, and I didn't see him stress about any of it once. He was very easy to work with and communicate with, and kept my couple feeling at ease throughout the day. The photos I received back were beautiful, and exactly what my couple was looking for! I loved the way his editing brought out the vibrant colors of their wedding florals and decor. I would love to work with Rhett again, and definitely recommend him to others!!

    Amazing Photographer

    We had the absolute best experience with Rhett. He made our wedding day picture so easy and everyone so comfortable. He was fun and easy going on a day that can be stressful. We got our pictures back and wow! We loved them all. If you’re looking for a photographer for your special day look no further!! He also whipped out his drone and took some seriously AWESOME beach photos 🙂

    Marley Photography's reply:

    Thank you Jackie so much!! I had such a great time at your wedding and seriously thank you for rolling with the punches as the rain changed your ceremony plans. You smiled and enjoyed every moment as if it was the plan all along and because of that I was able to capture so many genuine happy moments for you. I wish you all the best in your marriage and thanks again for trusting me with such an important role in your wedding!

    We loved Rhett!

    I am not someone who generally leaves reviews but this is one fellow who deserves the greatest review! My husband and I had the best time with Rhett! He is professional and a laid back guy who’s creativity shines! We received our “sneak peak” pictures just days after our wedding and we are completely blown away. I will always be grateful that he was put in our path to take such precious pictures for us that we will cherish for the rest of our lives! Rhett is very personable and made us feel very comfortable and ourselves! I don’t think we could have ever found a better and more reasonable priced photographer. You will not regret choosing him!

    Marley Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much Rachel! I can't begin to tell you how much fun I had going out to Botany Bay with you and Jordan. What an awesome experience!!! Thank you for taking the time to write review! :)

    Uh-amazing! Rhett is awesome!

    Best Wedding Photographer in Charleston of 2020, I think that award should include ALL of South Carolina and surrounding areas. As we all know choosing vendors for the big day is always exciting and one of the most exciting parts. It could also be very stressful!

    It all started from Day 1 with Mr. Rhett Marley. We reached out to Rhett along with multiple other photographers. All of them had the same response, expect for Rhett. Rhett sent a personalized video message of him introducing himself and acknowledging he received our request and made us feel confident of our wedding at The Beach House on Hilton Head Island. That really meant a lot to us and really put all the other photographers on the back burner. Rhetts pricing is competitive, and even with Rhett’s Traveling Fee outside of the Charleston Area, his pricing was still competitive with other photographers we had reached out to.

    Rhett worked countlessly with us during Covid. Unsure of how we would proceed he made us feel confident and let us know no matter what we would have different options if needed in regards to his photography.

    Leading up to the big day Rhett came up with a perfect timeline and amazing photo ideas. We couldn’t have asked for a better Photographer! His upbeat and fun personality really made it feel like we connected with Rhett on our day while he captured all the most precious moments during our Wedding. We will certainly recommend Rhett to anyone visiting the area! We are so eager to receive our Wedding Photos!

    Once Rhett finished with his contracted hours, he stayed and busted out the Cupid Shuffle with us. Nice work Rhett 😉.

    Book Marley Photography!

    I cannot say enough great things about Rhett and Marley Photography. Planning a destination wedding can be stressful, especially finding vendors online that you can trust with something as important as your wedding photos. You can trust Rhett and put your worries aside.

    From the first email I knew we were in great hands. He thought of everything -- from perfecting our timeline and learning about us to asking all the right questions about our day and what was important to us. Rhett captured perfect behind the scenes photos, detail photos -- and my favorite -- the genuine emotion photos of us, our families and our guests. Aside from being an amazing photographer, Rhett is a super nice guy. He was able to manage all of the different personalities within our wedding party. Everyone loved him. Most importantly, he won over my now husband who hates being photographed. Rhett was able to make him smile and capture photos I will treasure forever. He was very efficient too. There wasn't any standing around which I appreciate. We were all able to enjoy the day.

    As an added bonus, Rhett filmed a Facebook live video while he was editing some of our wedding photos. What a special treat! I got to see just how much goes into editing photos and watch an artist at work. He has a great eye and is a truly talented photographer. If he is available, book him!

    Marley Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much Stacey for your sweet review! I loved working with you and Kevin out at Isle of Palms! Can I just say that your first dance with your dad was probably one of the sweetest things I've seen all year!? It was adorable!!! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review for me! You're the best!!

    Blown Away!

    Rhett and Marley Photography literally saved the day for our wedding. We originally booked a different photographer and she had a family emergency the week of our wedding and couldn't make it. Rhett stepped in with just days to prepare and completely put us at ease. Charleston was a destination for us so Rhett immediately booked a call with us and we exchanged dozens of emails leading up to the big day so he could have everything perfect.

    The day of our wedding it didn't matter at all that we hadn't met him in advance, he was so professional and so kind that he put us right at ease - we hardly knew he was there for half the night! After the wedding we worked with our original photographer on some edits, but returned to Rhett for some editing as well, and his images just absolutely blew us away. He is super responsive, incredibly talented, and will absolutely provide you with stunning photos to remember your big day by. Definitely recommend!

    Really amazing!

    Rhett Marley was nothing short of amazing to work with!! We had had a very rough week during and after our phone call but he was super understanding and accommodating. He was very open to our wants of a little less traditional photos. He went above and beyond to capture beautiful moments for us to have forever. I am so so happy he was referred and replied promptly to us to get our plans in order in a timely manner also. Rhett was very thorough in explaining things and answering all of my questions also. And even better, the technology part of everything was super easy for me!! Definitely recommend Marley Photography 100%!!!

    Marley Photography's reply:

    Thank you Melissa for sharing your thoughts on me as a photographer! I kept in mind that you and Maurice had been at the hospital leading up to your wedding and I really tried to do what I could to take care of you guys on such a special day. It warms my heart in more ways than I can describe to hear you say how happy you were! Thanks for taking time out of your day to leave a review!! You're awesome!! :)

    I cannot say enough good things about working with Rhett. He made sure he understood what I was looking for prior to my big day and captured everything I wanted at the wedding. Very reasonably priced in comparison to other photographers I spoke with.

Rhett is incredibly professional, easy to work with, and communicative. As a wedding planner I'm always looking for other vendors that work alongside myself and my clients to make the day run as smoothly as possible and have the clients' best interests at heart (versus their own agenda), and Rhett did exactly that. Throughout the day he was flexible, communicative, and congenial. He made everyone feel at ease in front of the camera and was very open to trying pose suggestions that came from the couple and those near them. I would happily recommend and work with him again!
