About

They say that a picture is worth a thousand words.
Most of the time that is true, but once and a while, there is an image captured that words just can't be summoned to describe…

...the look in a groom’s eyes when he gets his first glimpse of the woman he is about to marry…

...the ring exchange. When two become one…

...the emotions shared between the father and daughter at their dance…

...the glances exchanged between proud parents…

Energy and love immortalized within the blink of an eye...

...that's what I capture…


Artistic storytelling with an edge.

We loved Mike! They were so awesome. We had the whole disc of the pictures about a month after the wedding which was awesome. His personality was cool and they were both really professional. So much fun to work with!!!

We could not have asked for better photographers for our wedding day! Having a destination wedding makes for many challenges in the planning process and one of the most stressful parts was finding a photographer that was going to fit our vision and style. We searched through so many area photographers and once we saw the Tillman Branch photos and I spoke with Rachel on the phone, we knew we had our photographers! Our engagement session was such an adventure, meeting Mike for the first time, exploring Charleston for our photo shoot and seeing the amazing work and vision that Mike has! It was so great to see the finished product in our guest book and so many of our guests were in awe of the amazing work in our guest book.

Rachel and Mike took the time to help us plan our day too and make sure they knew all of our requests for photos and helped us work with our other vendors too, to make the day go smoothly. They did everything we asked for and more, and I knew that our photos would turn out great.

Our wedding day photos looked SOOO great and we've received so many compliments. I would recommend Mike and Rachel to ANYONE who wants their wedding photos to be memorable. unique, and just plain old cool.

I can't say enough about Tillman Branch Photography! Our wedding was in January and Mike and Rachel did the most amazing job capturing everything from start to finish. Not only are they extrememly talented, but also friendly and easy to work with both before and after the big day! In fact, they surprised me a week early with my wedding album! It means so much to have worked with people who truly understand how important your wedding day is.

If you are looking for a well-rounded photography company then look at Tillman Branch Photography! The pictures on their website and facebook page really show how dedicated they are to their craft. They can do traditional, candid, and get creative with lighting and shots you would have never thought of! We honestly couldn't be happier with our wedding shots!

These guy are the BEST! Not only do they make you feel like you've been friends forever and put you completely at ease, but they take the best photgraphs I've EVER seen. I could not imagine trusting anyone else to do my wedding photos, and they turned out better than I could have imagined. They do NOT disappoint!!

These reviews posted below, definitely speak for themselves!!!!! Mike and Rachel are amazing photographers that are warm, funny, enthusiastic and passionate about what they do. This allows for fun during all photo shoots and making you feel extremely comfortable while doing so. I was so pleased with how ALL of our pictures turned out, from engagement, to bridal, to the wedding day! Each session, mike continued to blow me away with more awesome pics each time! They were affordable, and without a doubt worth every penny! Would love to work with them again the next time we are in Charleston.....but we will have to come up with an excuse (christmas cards? Trash the dress? Anniversary?)!

Words cannot describe how AMAZING these two photographers are. Just to give you a little tidbit on how amazing they are I will share a brief summary of our wedding story with you. I hate having my picture taken and for as long as I can remember I have always said "I will not have a photographer at my wedding because I hate taking pictures." Well, my husband convinced me to do a trial engagement session with Mike and I absolutely loved it and had a blast. So, we signed them up to do our wedding and they were GREAT. Even my bridesmaids were talking about how AMAZING and fun they were. I will forever cherish the images that they captured on camera that day and I will always sing their praise as individuals and as photographers. You will not be disappointed if you use them on your big day. Tillman Branch Photography is the ONLY photography comapny that will ever take my pictures in the years to come.

Mike is very professional yet his personality, demeanor, down-to-earth tone puts you right at ease in front of the camera! When my husband and I met mike for our engagement shoot, we were both a little nervous, but Mike soon had us laughing and feeling like we had just met back up with a long time friend. Mike worked with our budget; he went above and beyond anything we’d expected! The quality of his work is phenomenal! I have one of my wedding photos on my facebook profile, and have had SO many comments just on that one photo! I highly recommend Tillman Branch Photography to help you preserved the memory of your "special" day and the days to come!

I stumbled across Tillman Branch after many hours of online searching. I found their website information through one of the many wedding engines and was immediately impressed with what I saw. I was looking for something different but that also wouldn't kill my entire budget. It meant a lot to me to have awesome pictures when the wedding was over with. Afterall, that's really all you have to look back on. The flowers die and the dress gets packed away, but you'll always have the pictures. I didn't want boring posey, look and smile, studio-type shots. I wanted candid, caught in the moment, artsy, journalistic shots. I wanted to be able to look back through the pictures and relive the feeling of the entire day. And that is exactly what I got.
From the very first phone call to Rachel, I knew that working with Tillman Branch would be a pretty painless process. I got immediate response when I contacted either of them and they were both really easy to talk to. Mike is very professional and takes his work seriously. He has great eye and an easy-going personality.
Working with Tillman Branch will be the easiest and most rewarding part of your wedding experience!

What an ABSOLUTELY amazing experience my husband and I have had with Mike of Tillman Branch. I found them through an online search and fell in love with their awesome and inspiring work. I contacted them about getting an estimate for their services via email and their response was very quick. I was able to work with them and create a custom package. My husband and I are certainly not models or rock stars, but Mike sure made us feel that way every time we met, spoke and took photos. Mike has become a great friend. Tillman Branch will ALWAYS be a part of our family.

Tillman Branch is worth every penny they cost. I've done my engagement pictures and bridal portraits with them. I wouldn't go to anyone else. When you meet Mike, he makes you feel like you known him your entire life. He has a great sense of humor. And he will do anything to get a good shot, including laying down in the middle of the road or climbing gates in the middle of downtown Charleston. You can really tell that he loves his job!

I worked with Mike Mizzell of Tillman Branch at a wedding this year and when I saw the photos I was amazed at how beautiful they looked. I know that my bride was extremely happy with the photos. Not only does Tillman Branch produce beautiful photos but they are also extremely easy to work with and this is something I have to consider when recommending vendors to my brides. I want the brides to be happy first and foremost, but knowing that a vendor will be respectful of the timeline and the other vendors is very important to ensuring a smooth flowing wedding. I look forward to looking with them again and again.
