Reviews of Sean Money + Elizabeth Fay

Redefining Wedding Photography!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Sean and Elizabeth were not only incredibly talented but also so much fun, it was hard not to ask them to put the cameras down and just join the party. They made the entire process feel effortless and natural, never forcing stiff poses but instead capturing authentic moments that were perfectly us. From start to finish, they were friendly, professional, and an absolute joy to have around. As for the photos... They turned out even better than we could have ever imagined. We honestly can’t picture using anyone else for any future events. Sean and Elizabeth didn't just raise the bar, they retired it and now proudly own it

THE BEST decision

One of my first vendors I hired was Sean and Elizabeth. I am SO happy I did. They were phenomenal! Everyone loved having them around the whole weekend, and just felt like they were a part of the whole crew. Their work is incredible and they listened to exactly the style we were going for, they were just capturing everything and weren't forcing anything so the work reflects that and looks so incredible. I can not emphasize enough how much I would recommend hiring them!

Why Hire 1 When You Can Get 2? Best Duo in the Game!

We met with Sean + Elizabeth one time before hiring them on the spot! There are so many positive things I can say about them, but I don't want to lose you, so I'll try to list out the highlights! My now husband HATES photos, since he was little. My wedding planner recommended Sean + Elizabeth because A) they were a couple, so maybe Sean would help loosen my husband up and B) our planner thought that their "vibe" was similar to mine. The "B)" portion comes from what I told her - I told her I didn't want to do anything basic. I want my photos to be cool, creative, and different from all of the generic Pinterest photos you see. I don't need every photo to be bright or cookie cutter / rehearsed and I love candids.
Ok, so we hired them. Fast forward to engagement photos; our package came with an additional sessions (engagement, bridal portraits, boudoir, etc). We live in Charlotte, NC and they freaking drove up 3 hours to shoot our engagement session near our home so we could have our dogs in them and do them around our neighborhood. Being that they don't live in Charlotte, I wasn't sure what to expect, but they took what I was envisioning, did their own research of the city, and executed beyond my wildest dreams! They made my husband and I feel so comfortable and it was a great session to get to know them on a personal level. I felt like I could 100% be myself and say whatever was on my brain and being around them was a total judgement-free zone.. it was so refreshing! They saw great photos against walls, in parking decks, under plants - things I would've never seen. They were so COOL, I even invited them to my husband's bday party that night because we had such an amazing day together (they coudn't come, but just sayin', that's how cool they are)!
Lastly, the big day! They were of course on time on our wedding day and executed all getting ready photos and our first look seamlessly. These are such special moments, you have to have someone you trust to capture them and we trusted them without a doubt. They didn't even blink at my family dynamic (a few re-marriages, step siblings and whacky family members, ha!) and got every pre-ceremony shot to a tee. The ceremony photos are absolutely stunning - they crushed the angles, the lighting and didn't miss one shot. Lastly, the reception! They got all details photos before everything started, got every shot from every first dance, speech, etc. and lastly, gave me the best candids (100s!) I could've ever imagined. We've been married for over 3 months and I look at the gallery almost every day or so and each time I find a new favorite photo.
I can't say enough good things about these 2, and how hiring a male/female duo, helped capture our day PERFECTLY. Elizabeth is born and raised in Charleston, so she's seen/heard it all and I consider her an expert of venues there, BUT also, their creative work from their non-Charleston (traveling) weddings was actually what hooked me in their portfolio they sent, so you do not have to be getting married in CHS to hire them! 1000/10 recommend, love them and will absolutely be using them again in the future (if my husband would be willing to take professional pictures again!) Hire them, you won't regret it!

Hire them now.

Hiring Sean Money and Elizabeth Fay is hands down one of the best things you can do for your wedding day. As a wedding videographer, I work with dozens and dozens of wedding photographers and I can say no one holds a candle to the energy, efficiency and caliber of service Sean and Elizabeth deliver. Working with them you'll not only get amazing photos, be relaxed and at ease throughout your day (they're logistical ninjas I swear), but you'll make a new pair of lifelong friends in the process. What are you waiting for? HIRE THEM NOW!

Words cannot express how pleased I am with Sean + Elizabeth's services! It rained on my wedding day so I was particularly nervous about how my photos would turn out, but they're a dream. As a bonus, this pair is really fun to talk to and hang out with, and they blend in flawlessly with the atmosphere of the wedding so photos never feel forced or awkward. Would highly recommend this team to anyone looking for a wedding photojournalism style for their wedding photos.

We so love working with these two for our engagement shoot and wedding. Not only do they take beautiful photos, they are also delightful people! My husband and I felt pretty awkward in front of the camera, and they made us laugh, relax and feel totally normal while we twirled on a beach and kissed and cried in front of tons of people! Our photos are drop-dead gorgeous, and they totally nailed that non-cliche vibe we wanted, while still catching all the important moments of the day. This duo will go the extra mile, whether that means taking off their socks and shoes to catch pictures of you in the ocean and nearly losing their toes to frostbite in the process, or personally driving you to your venue to catch first-look pictures. We will treasure all of the candid moments they captured forever.

Sean and Elizabeth are a fantastic, professional team. What we loved most was how comfortable they made us feel and how effortless their photography "sessions" felt. The finished product was also amazing, and you can tell that Sean and Elizabeth put a lot of effort into finalizing the photos. It's been a year and I still enjoy looking back through our photos from that day!

After meeting with and reviewing many photographers in the Charleston area - it was an easy choice to book with Sean and Elizabeth. From the moment I met with Elizabeth I knew the photographs would not only exceed expectations but that Sean and Elizabeth would make the whole process FUN. And they didn't disappoint on either :) There are so many things to "worry" about on your wedding day and when you work with Sean and Elizabeth, it takes one of those worries off the table. When they showed up on our wedding day we felt relaxed and easy going - knowing that even if something else went wrong, we were in THE BEST hands with our photographers. Thanks Sean and Elizabeth for giving us such amazing memories and photographers that we will cherish forever.

Sean and Elizabeth are the best! They are easy to work with, make you comfortable, are excellent listeners, and make you really comfortable. I was given advice long ago to spend the money on good photographers, and they are certainly worth every penny!
