    Lea Austen blends artistry with teleporting & sprinkles fairy-magic lighting to create photographic miracles! You can hardly imagine how gentle yet demanding, raw but finished, smooth plus textured...you name the combo--Lea creates artistic balance that lives in your wedding photos! Really--you need the pictures to speak the million words that would still never fully describe the teleporting-magical artistry that Lea Austen brings to creating wedding photography that puts FOREVER "I do FOREVER!!!!"

    We were referred to Lea by friends of ours. My husband and I both attended our friends' wedding, but separately, and we had the same reaction to our friends' photographer: we didn't remember her. To us, this was a huge plus when looking for a wedding photographer. We didn't want someone who was "in your face" or pestered our guests. Well, we will never forget Lea now. She has captured our wedding day perfectly! We have so many gorgeous, natural looking photos. She was great to work with and just as she was referred to us, we will refer her to all of our friends in need of a fantastic photographer.

    Lea is the best! We all loved working with her and getting to know her. She is very professional and just a delight to work with. Everyone at the reception just loved Lea! All the photos are absolutely beautiful and it is so hard to choose from the multitude of shots. I need not look any further for any future photography needs. Lea is the one!

    Thank you! You made my day.

    We had an absolute blast with Lea! She was a lot of fun to work with and took some great pictures. She was very easy to work with and so sweet. My husband and I had a lot of fun working with her and we are extremely happy with our photos from our engagement session, bridal shoot and wedding day. So happy that we found her!

    Thank you! I loved all the time I spent with you and your families. I hope to see more of you throughout the years

    Lea was exactly what we were looking for in a photographer! She worked to understand our needs. She captured FANTASTIC shots of us that really reflect the joy and fun of our special day. She was very professional. We will use her services again in the future for any and all of our photography needs.

    Lea was absolutely wonderful!! She captured such perfect moments! Lea worked with us from the beginning to make sure that she captured 'us' on our wedding day....and she did!! The proofs were back so quickly and the videos were great!! Everyone is in love with our pictures and we are so excited to start trying to decide what will go in our album!

    My sister used Lea in 2007, so when my husband and I decided to get married in South Carolina I knew exactly who to call! Lea is a great photographer! Her mother officiated us as well! We were very happy with everything and our beach pictures were beautiful!!!

    We found Lea to be a spirited outgoing person, dedicated to providing quality pictures at a reasonable price. Her work far exceeded our expectations, and we have cherished memories of our special day that will last a life-time.
    Lea's lovely mother was our officiant and I must say it was a pleasure to have them both as a part of our wedding. These Ladies are Awesome! They went out of their way to listen to what WE envisioned our day to be and provided all we asked and more! If we could do it again, we wouldn't' change a thing!

    Lea was an absolute joy to work with! Her work is so amazing!! Our wedding pictures turned out so fabulous--I don't think she took one bad picture! We got over 1600 pictures, and there were no bad ones! Lea is so fun to work with; our smiles were all real and not posed at all! I highly recommend her!

    Lea is an amazing photographer! She did a fantastic job with our wedding. After looking at the photos, I can see she knew the best angles for us and how to adjust to the lighting outdoors. She also took some more artistic photos that amplified the historical setting that we love.

    We also found that she relates well to people and various situations. When my 7 year old niece who was carrying my train became fussy, she included her in more pictures to keep her entertained. She specifically asked about the family dynamics before we took family photos to avoid any potential conflicts.

    I found Lea on WeddingWire.com and am so glad I did! We booked her from out of state and did a package deal, photography and a minister. They were both so very easy and sweet to work with, and very responsive. I highly recommend them her to anyone looking for a photographer and minister in the Charleston area!

    Thank you for letting me know about the quality of service score you gave me. Your comments had nothing to do with the quality of the photos I produced and the elements at the beach were the cause of the shadows. It was a pleasure meeting you.

    We had a fantastic experience with Lea at our recent wedding. Lea made it a point to get to know us before the wedding day and we were so comfortable with her. She blended in with our guests, and was very professional yet personal at the same time. The images that she took are numerous and beautiful. She captured so many moments that we would love to re-live again and again. I loved the video compilations of photos that Lea made... they are beautiful and a wonderful way to share our day with family and friends who couldn't make it.

    The quality that I received for my wedding photos was less than excellent. I could've received the same images with any old camera. Creativity was lacking and my wedding photos do not look professional at all. There are many wonderful photographers out there that I wish I had forked over the money for.

    Lea Austen Photography's reply:

    I wish I knew who you are. I am very sad and disappointed to hear this and wish you would have contacted me directly.
