Sol is simply the best ❤️

Sol is so incredibly talented and we are so happy we chose him as our wedding photographer. Not only is he a master at his craft, he is a walking ray of sunshine. Sol is not only our wedding photographer, we now think of him as family. He made us feel so special throughout our wedding journey!

Not only are the photos absolutely perfect (truly beyond anything we imagined), but the entire experience of working with him was incredible. He has an unbelievable eye for capturing moments that feel real, emotional, and timeless… the big, once-in-a-lifetime moments and the quiet, in-between ones that we didn’t even realize were happening. Looking through our gallery feels like reliving the day all over again. It is truly magical.

What truly sets Sol apart, though, is who he is as a person. From the moment we met him for our engagement shoot he brought such a fun, calming, positive energy that immediately put us at ease. He didn’t feel like “just our photographer”, he felt like family. He blended in so naturally with our our families and our guests, while still keeping things moving and making sure every important shot was captured (he is also an incredible dancer!!). So many people commented on how much they loved him and how comfortable he made them feel in front of the camera.

He was organized, professional, and incredibly thoughtful, but also genuinely fun to be around. He knew when to step in and guide us, and when to step back and let moments unfold naturally. That balance is rare, and it shows so clearly in the pictures he got of us! We never felt stiff, rushed, or overly posed… everything felt effortless and authentic.

We are completely obsessed with our photos and will treasure them for the rest of our lives. Sol didn’t just document our wedding day… he captured the feeling of it! That is priceless to us.

Sol is the best.

We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our wedding day. From start to finish, Sol and his team made the entire experience feel incredibly personal and tailored to us. Their enthusiasm and positive attitude were contagious, and they brought such a calming energy to what could have easily been a stressful day.

Not only was Sol and his team personable and easy to be around, but they were also a fantastic planner—organized, thoughtful, and always a step ahead. They captured every special moment beautifully and made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera. Everything was done in a timely manner, with professionalism and care.

Our photos are more than we ever imagined—they truly reflect the joy and love of the day. We’re so grateful for their work and would recommend Sol and his team a thousand times over. Mingo Point will always be special to us and now we will be able to relive our special day forever because of Sol.

If I could give a million stars I would!

I don't even know where to begin! From the moment I reached out to Sol, I knew he was going to be a perfect fit to document our wedding day. As a Maryland Wedding Photographer myself, getting married out of state had its challenges and selecting a photographer was one of them... but I quickly realized it wasn't a challenge at all. Sol was kind, patient, helpful, and gave so much guidance when it was needed. I had full trust in him and his talent almost immediately! Flash forward to our wedding day, the whole day felt like a dream and Sol was there to capture it all. He was apart of our day like he was family to not only my husband and I, but to ALL of our wedding guests. Family and friends constantly talking about how amazing he was / is. I could not be more grateful for him, his talent, his unbelievable amount of kindness and love he gives to his clients. I would recommend him to anyone. He is truly a gem!

Stellar photos, professionalism, vibes

Sol is the MAN. Not only is he incredibly professional and talented, but he is relaxed and a complete joy to be around - critical on a day as important as your wedding. He knows exactly when to get your attention vs “fall into the background.”

I wanted a photographer who gets great photos in general but also really great candid photos and he delivered. knew we were in great hands when we got our photos back from our engagement shoot. Sol and his team were one of my top favorite vendors on wedding day if not the top. Going through the photos, we kept saying wow that’s a great photo. Oh that’s a great photo! My mom also reveled in how great the pictures of each and every guest were. Sol was patient getting pictures of us with our 7 month old golden retriever. He made sure to get certain photos I mentioned I wanted and also had great vision for where to take others.

We couldn’t be happier with our photos and recommend to anyone looking for a photographer in the Charleston area.

Best Wedding Vendor Decision

Sol was hands down one of the very best decisions we made when planning our wedding! My husband and I had never taken professional photos together and he made us feel immediately comfortable during our engagement shoot (and then our wedding shoot) by encouraging us to be ourselves first and foremost, and then offering some light guidance when desired. His photography perfectly captured our moments in a natural way (so many great candids), and his style is timeless. After our wedding (Oct 2022), all our guests told us that Sol was so fun to be around, and he exceeded our expectations on photo delivery by surprising us with some sneak peeks the day after our wedding and sharing our full gallery in record time. We're so thankful Sol was a part of our celebration. Thank you, Sol!!

Talented, Hardworking & Amazing to Work with

Sol is so talented. We hired him as our wedding photographer for our October 1 2022 wedding and couldn't be more happy with his services and the end result-- our photos! Sol worked endlessly throughout our event and captured everything we wanted and more! His style is perfect for wedding photography, I'd describe it as truly timeless, classic and refined. In addition to all of the expected wedding shots he was able to capture some really beautiful special moments between us, our family and all our guests. We are over the moon that we chose him as our photographer!

FABULOUS! Sol captured the essence of our day - so much love & joy

Sol was AMAZING. Firstly, he is just the nicest, sweetest guy. I didn't prescribe much in terms of the photos I wanted, other than the first look, and he nailed it. He got the best candids i've ever seen, and he just blended into the background - you never really knew he was there til he was out on the dance floor dancing and taking pictures, so much fun! My family and friends loved him. You cannot go wrong -he is a pro and expert at his craft, and like I said, he is so easy going, we did very little pre-planning, I trusted him. Sol captured the essence of our day - so much love & joy. I am forever grateful to him!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
