reception. She worked with us to determine the photos we wanted for each event. She captured beautiful, candid shots of me and my husband, as well as wonderful images of our friends and family.

Thanks So Much!!
Priscilla was wonderful to work with, and we absolutely LOVE our wedding photos!! We are not from Charleston, but a phone call with Priscilla when looking for photographers gave u...
s the confidence to move forward and we did not regret our decision. She really told the story of our day with her photos, and captured many candid moments that are now treasures for us! She was also very organized throughout the day, moving through MANY family photos very quickly so that we could all enjoy the cocktail hour and reception. Would definitely recommend. Thank you!!
Priscilla is extremely talented and my husband and I really enjoyed working with her! The first thing that we wanted to book for our wedding was the photographer and booked Prisci...
lla over a year before our March 2016 wedding. She did our engagement photos (which we used on our Save The Dates), our wedding photos and album. Priscilla was responsive, had great suggestions on locations for portraits, and was able to wrangle my large family to get great results on the family photos. We would absolutely use her again and are so pleased that she was able to capture our special day and provide us with such amazing photos!
Worth every single penny!! Pictures are the only thing you have after the wedding so do it right! Priscilla was able to manage a large reception on her own and have an amazing prod...
uct to show for it. Everyone's drooling over our pictures! She even managed to capture details I thought ask I forgot to ask for. She's amazing and you're crazy not to book her!!!
4 days after our wedding and I'm already receiving AMAZING sneak peeks! We were so thrilled having Priscilla and her team with us on our wedding day. She could tell when we needed ...
a break and offered awesome suggestions-- I'm SO thankful she asked to pull us aside for a sunset shoot. She didn't make me feel awful about asking for a few specific reenactment shots either.
Priscilla was great to work with! We planned our wedding out of town, so we never had the chance to meet until the actual wedding day. However, with the amount of phone calls and...
emails that were exchanged, I was put at ease that everything was going to be great. And it was! Priscilla disappeared into the background at the reception and took some fabulous pictures of everyone having a great time. I would definitely recommend her. She took great care to document the most wonderful day.
Priscilla was a joy to work with and continues to express me. I planned a destination wedding in Charleston in May. Priscilla’s worked hard with me to plan what was right for my sp...
ecial day. She answer all my questions, keep in contact and help me plan. During the day of our wedding, she put both of at ease and we had a blast taking photographs with her. Our photos turned out perfectly, my husband even comment how well she capture small moments. She would be an asset to any wedding day.
Priscilla is amazing!! We are so grateful that we found her with all the photographers in Charleston. When my husband and I sat down and discussed our budget we decided that photog...
raphy was one of the most important things we would spend money on. After the wedding is over all you have is memories and photos, so it was important to find the right photographer. We've had engagement photos, family photos, bridal portraits, a boudoir session, 12 hours on our wedding day, and an after wedding session with Priscilla. We feel like she is a part of our family. She is so easy to connect with and she makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Not to mention her work is absolutely spectacular! All of our friends and family constantly compliment us on our photos. We've sent two couples to her already for wedding photography. Priscilla will make sure you get every shot you want, she won't be in the way on your wedding day (guests hardly noticed her and her second shooter), she responds quickly to emails and understands your concerns. She wants to capture your day the best she can and that's what makes her the best. I truly enjoyed working with Priscilla, if you have the opportunity seriously book her! You won't regret it. Even our dogs loved her!! My husband and I are so thankful to have found her, she has captured and created the most amazing memories. We will be using her services for years to come.
Priscilla was the perfect photographer for us on our wedding day. My husband and I chose her based on her candid style and affordable price. We received our pictures quickly despit...
e the fact that we were married right before Thanksgiving and the holidays. The pictures look fantastic! Priscilla captured so much that I missed. I hate the camera but Priscilla made me feel at ease. She was so efficient with getting through all of the formal portraits and got us to our cocktail hour as quickly as possible. Priscilla captured all of our important moments but I hardly ever noticed the camera which was exactly what I hoped for.
I truly enjoyed working with Priscilla! She was very professional, responsive and accommodating! I planned my destination wedding in 3 months, and she provided me with all the in...
formation I needed, and kept me very informed of everything. She was able to answer all of my questions and using her system was very easy to work with. ... The day of the wedding, she was very efficient and kept us on time. And most important of all her pictures came out beautifully!! I had a late afternoon fall wedding, and she was able to capture the natural light and perfect scenery for the pictures to really stand out! She was also reasonably priced for the outcome of her work, which was over above and beyond of what we expected. i HIGHLY recommend!!
Not being from Charleston it was difficult to find a great photographer. Priscilla made working with her easy and was able to capture our vision for not only our engagement photos ...
but wedding photos as well. She was always available if I had concerns or questions and the turn around time for our pictures I feel was fairly quick. I would recommend her for future brides who are doing a destination wedding in the beautiful city of Charleston, SC
Priscilla was an amazing asset to our wedding. Her ability to capture everything we wanted and more through her lens was unbelievable. She made us feel comfortable being in the spo...
tlight - something my groom and I don't do very well. She listened to what we wanted, was flexible in meeting all our needs, and I can't imagine having anyone else capture this day for us.
We love our wedding pictures!!! Priscilla is very flexible and communicates really well. After our first meeting everything was just easy. With everything that we needed to take ca...
re of for the wedding it was a big help not to worry about our photographer. The pictures tells the story on how our wedding day unfolded. Great memories! Wish she lives in Washington state for future events! - Ava & Travis
It's hard to know exactly where to start in writing this review because Priscilla was such an amazing part of my big day. She is so talented and the photos turned out better than I...
could have dreamed. More importantly, however, was that she was awesome to work with leading up to the wedding and on the day of the wedding. She made my husband and I feel so comfortable and everyone in the wedding party commented on how she put them at ease. We were so impressed at her creativity for finding great shots. She truly captured all aspects of my wedding day in the most spectacular way. I am so fortunate to have Priscilla's photos to look back on in the years to come because they will definitely take us right back to our wedding day and help us relive all our special moments! I HIGHLY recommend Priscilla and cannot say enough wonderful things about her and her work.
Choosing my photographer took me the most time out of any of my vendors. I wanted a certain style and I wanted them to be amazing. I could not be happier with my decision by choo...
sing Priscilla as my photographer for the best day ever! My engagement pictures turned out amazing and were featured on the lovely find blog. I have not gotten my wedding pictures back yet but what I have seen I love! Priscilla is also great at communicating and listening to her brides.
