    Wonderful experience with Southern Vintage

    Having beautiful pictures of our wedding day was very important to us. I looked at profiles of numerous photographers in Charleston and fell in love with Jacqueline’s work! She did our engagement photos and wedding photos and we are obsessed with how they turned out. All of our friends and family commented on how amazing they were and also how amazing Jacqueline and her team were to work with. She went above and beyond to meet all of our requests and do whatever it took to get the perfect shot. Even though we live 11 hours from Charleston we will be back in the future to have Southern Vintage do our family photos!

    Thank you, Megan! This means a lot to me. It was an absolute pleasure getting to work with you and Tom and I hope to see y'all again in the future! :)

    A truly professional photographer!

    Jackie with Southern Vintage Photography created some really beautiful branding photos for me. She did an amazing job from start to finish - communication was on point, her ideas were fantastic, fun to work with, and her photos are absolutely stunning! I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to elevate their branding!

    Capturing memories you will cherish forever

    Southern Vintage Photography was spectacular. From the moment we had our consultation call, we knew that SVP was going to be an amazing fit for us. They are extremely organized, setting timelines and schedules for each session. Jacqueline & Caroline made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, letting the natural moments shine through. They have a true passion for not only capturing the perfect picture, but capturing the moment. My wife and I do not typically enjoy taking or looking at photos of ourselves, however when we received the gallery from SVP, we were speechless. The photos were so much more than we could have imagined. Jacqueline & Caroline were able get raw emotions, perfect candid moments, and so many gorgeous portraits. Our friends and family jokingly asked if the pictures were actually of us, or if we got them from a wedding magazine. They managed to capture moments that we didn't even realize happened, seemingly being everywhere, capturing every detail of the wedding. Southern Vintage Photography not only gave us the beautiful photos; they gave us memories that we will cherish forever. If you are looking to capture any event, and have the best experience, then SVP is a fantastic choice.

    Best Photographer Ever!

    Southern Vintage Photography captured my weddings pictures and turned them into lifelong memories. Jackie and her team were always on top of communication, timelines, and all of the details that went into my wedding day. I have known Jackie for years and SVP is my go-to for all of my photography needs. The team even navigated all COVID hurdles with ease creating a stress-free environment for the bride and groom. We cannot praise this team enough! Lots of love!

    Don't say I DO without SVP

    Jacqueline at Southern Vintage Photography was wonderful to work with! She recommended vendors she already had a relationship with so the day-of would be seamless. She coached us through our engagement photos which were incredible then worked her magic day of for some truly stunning photos of us. She was so thoughtful to capture what was important to us, got every photo on our list and so many more we didn’t even know to ask for. The weather was not ideal day-of but she threw on a raincoat, got right out there in the thick of it with us and captured memories we will hold dear forever. I do not think we would have some of our favorite photos of the day without Jacqueline. Don’t get married without her!

    Best Photographer in Charleston

    I wish I could relive my engagement and wedding day over and over again so that I could continue working with Southern Vintage. When I say that SVP is incredible, I truly lack the words to express how truly incredible they were. Jackie was ALWAYS quick to respond, was organized and was always willing to answer questions. As soon as we booked Jackie for our wedding, we met up at a coffee shop and started going over details. I felt like she was already so involved and excited, and it was still a year away from the wedding! We actually met Jackie two years prior and had such a great experience with her as my sister's photographer that we knew immediately we wanted her to capture our big day (she was the first vendor we booked and contacted - that is how badly we wanted her)!!

    She made the experience seamless and was so flexible with all of the changes COVID brought to the table. She was always accommodating and prepared. She helped us come up with a final portrait list and a time line that made the pictures and wedding day overall so much smoother. SVP was always prepared which is so important when planning a wedding. I never had to contact her first, she was always in constant communication with me when she needed to be, and it essentially put one less thing on my plate to worry about. She made my husband and I feel like family, which is something you do not get from many vendors.

    I would recommend her to any couple without question or hesitation. SVP captured our engagement shoot, my bridal portraits and our wedding. I still am in awe of the pictures and the amazing quality that they are. If you are looking for a photographer who is experienced with weddings, is incredible passionate and is "the top of the top", you have to book Jackie and her team. I cannot speak highly enough about her and how much we loved working with her and her team!

    Southern Vintage Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much, Katie! We can't begin to tell you how much this means to us. You, Thomas, and your family have been a bright light for us in such a wild year. Thanks for always making us feel special. We are happy to be there for any milestone you and Thomas want to capture in the future! 🙂

    Thank You Jacqueline & Team

    Had a great experience with Jacqueline and team! I have a very large family and family dynamic and she was able to navigate thru the day easily. She also was willing to capture any moments that we thought of in the moment. And her technology is amazing! She has a portal where you can access your photos easily, and create albums for each family member, etc. HIRE HER!

    Southern Vintage Photography's reply:

    You are absolutely wonderful, thank you! It was such a pleasure capturing your beautiful day! Wishing you and Matt all the best! Come back and see us again in Charleston soon! :)

    HIGHLY recommend SVP for the perfect wedding photos!!

    Southern Vintage Photography (owner Jackie) did an excellent job capturing my wedding! Two photographers came to capture my wedding, so nothing was missed! Their professionalism and skill is on another level! They make sure you get all the shots you want and more! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    Engagement session

    We had them photograph out engagement sessions and they turned out amazingly. They were very professional and understood our nervousness. I can't wait for the bridal session and the day of the wedding.

    Thanks for this sweet review, Mary! It's been so great getting to spend this time with you before your wedding in June! We can't wait! :)

    Fun and Professional Ladies!

    I had my wedding in Hilton Head Island, and as an out of town bride, I was incredibly overwhelmed with hiring vendors I wasn't familiar with.

    Luckily, I had been following SVP for years on Instagram and remembered they were in Charleston! I am so happy that I hired Jackie and her assistant Caroline to capture my special day.

    Jackie was always so prompt and professional throughout the wedding planning process. She had very detailed outlines that she worked on with the assistance of my wedding planner in order to ensure she captured the photos I wanted and with whom I wanted.

    On the day of, Jackie and Caroline were not only incredibly accommodating when my husband and I would go rogue with our shots, but they were also such a blast to work with! You can tell that they really enjoy what they do. I have yet to see the actual photos, but the sneak peeks alone look AMAZING! Truly a great team, with a great sense of humor, style, and class. I highly recommend using them!

    Beautiful!!

    I had a destination wedding in Charleston so I took a leap of faith and hired Jackie just based on phone calls and her work I seen and thank goodness I did! She was responsive, kind, and really made us feel comfortable! She has such a calming presence and her work really speaks for itself. We have gotten SO many compliments from our wedding Portillo! Jackie and Caroline were very professionals and just made pictures so easy! She also got our pictures back to us in less then 4 weeks!! If you want absolutely beautiful shots captured of your wedding day you have to chose Southern Vintage Photography!!

    Southern Vintage Photography's reply:

    Thank you, Christen! This is so sweet. It was such a pleasure capturing your beautiful wedding! You and Trent were so wonderful! Wishing you both the best! :)

    Excellent Photographer!

    Jackie is an amazing photographer! We planned our intimate Charleston wedding from our home in Virginia and I found Southern Vintage Photography on the Knot. They offered a package that suited our needs perfectly... three hours of coverage provided us with romantic first look photos, all of the ceremony and family pictures, and we even squeezed in some beautiful shots downtown before our reception! Jackie was easygoing, knowledgeable and friendly and she was so great about communicating with us before our wedding— we exchanged emails regularly and I felt like she had everything under control on our wedding day! Our wedding was three days after Christmas and she had our gallery available within a few weeks... and our pictures are BEAUTIFUL!
    I cannot say enough good things about Jackie and Southern Vintage Photography! We are so pleased with everything and plan to use their services again!

    Southern Vintage Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much, Mary! It was such a pleasure taking photos for you and Tom. We are so thankful that you chose us to capture your special day!

    Neither my now-husband nor I are really "picture people," so I procrastinated on finding on a wedding photographer, but then I stumbled across South Vintage Photography and I'm so glad I did! Celess and Jackie were responsive, helpful, professional and kind from the day I first met with them. The pictures turned out amazing and they were so patient while taking photos on our wedding day, even when other "photographers" were around giving "advice." They really worked with our personalities and comfort level to capture our special day. We hardly noticed they were around either, since they were so discreet. I'd recommend them to anyone looking for wedding photographers that will make you feel comfortable and beautiful on your special day, while offering a standout product!

    Words can't express how grateful we are of the phenomenal experience we has with Southern Vintage! They were extremely accommodating and came all the way from Charleston, SC to Atlanta, GA to shoot our wedding! For two people who are not photogenic we felt as though every picture should have been on the front page of a magazine! Absolutely incredible, stress-free, fun, and knowledgeable photographers who make the whole experience a breeze! Fantastic communication and very willing to cater to any requests or need we have. I would recommended over and over again to use Southern Vintage Design for all your photography needs!

    We can't say enough about these ladies! Their work is beautiful art and their hearts match! So easy to work with! Creative but also very willing to try new things when you request. We loved working with them to get photos that were very uniquely us. Our engagement shots were gushed over by family and friends for weeks and our wedding photos got much the same treatment! Our photography is exactly what we were hoping for! Not to mention going above and beyond! Helping calm the introverted, nervous bride and hopping on a horse drawn carriage at the last minute to get some unique shots. We're looking forward to seeing them again for anniversary and family shots down the road. Thank you Celess and Jackie!

    On day 3 of a 32 day cross country road trip, my wonderful partner proposed to me under a gazebo in Charleston, SC. Thankfully, Jackie and Celess managed to capture the moment AND photograph us for two hours following the proposal as they toured us around the beautiful streets of Charleston. Coming from Philadelphia, my now-fiance was able to get in touch and plan these special moments with Southern Vintage, and the experience of shooting with them was absolutely incredible. Jackie and Celess amplified our giddiness and joy, and I'm so appreciative of how special they made me feel. The two ladies had an eye for the best spots around, and made us look like naturals in front of the camera. The pictures are really beautiful, and we couldn't choose just a few favorites, so we ended up purchasing the rights to all of them! Thanks Southern Vintage, you'll be a part of our engagement story each time we get to tell it.

    Booking Southern Vintage Design for our wedding photographs at the Cooper River Room in Mt. Pleasant, SC was one of the best decisions we made in the wedding planning process. Simply looking at their online portfolio proves how talented they they are at capturing everything at a wedding--the emotion, the important moments, the little details. Even better is just how easy and fun Celess and Jackie were to work with. They responded to emails quickly, got to know the two of us as a couple, and looked at a pinterest board of photo ideas we liked. On the day of the wedding, they were organized, professional, and just a joy to have around! We are sure they captured everything we wanted and more!! Based on the sneak peek photos we've received already, I know for a fact that we found the best wedding photographers in the Charleston area. We highly recommend Southern Vintage Design (and will almost certainly use their services again in the future).

    Southern vintage design did engagement photos for my fiance and I. I am very happy on how they turned out. I pretty much have all of the pictures hanging up in my house!!
    The moments they caught on their cameras and the way they did their editing was perfection. That's what they do, they catch perfection on film. I was worried that my fiance was going to be uncomfortable with taking photos but HE had such a blast and that made me feel more at ease!!
    Plus the weather was amazing! Nothing like Wisconsin!
    I hope to come back and do another session soon!!

    I worked with Southern Vintage to secretly photograph my engagement. Their team loved the idea and worked with me (around some questionable weather) to take some photos during the event. They came out great, and my SO had no idea it was happening! I gave the photos as a wedding present recently and they were a huge hit. Definitely recommend their service and professionalism.
