  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,550

Hi! I'm Ashley. My business was built on a foundation of love and dedication. I've been photographing weddings for over two years and have the expertise you need. As a fully trained professional, you can be sure that no matter what your wedding day throws at us, I will be prepared and have a solution in mind. My smallest wedding package includes just myself, but my top two packages include a second shooter to capture every moment possible. I'm a hardworking business owner, with one goal in mind; client satisfaction!

Let me tell y’all about this amazing chic! She came in and saved the day! We lost our photographer about 2 weeks before our wedding, we knew it wasn’t the right fit for us. I reached out to Ashley Painter Photography and she made time in her busy schedule ( while finishing grad school, being a mom, wife, and running a business!) to travel 2 hours each way to capture our day. Not to mention working hand in hand with our DJ on a timeline of events to make sure she was in the right spot at the right time to capture the best shots! Our contract said allow 16 weeks for full gallery, she said “ girl, don’t you worry, I won’t make you wait that long” and here we are, 3 weeks later and completely surprised, she delivered a full gallery of the most amazing moments of our day. If you’re ever in the Charleston, South Carolina area and need some pictures done remember to call the best! It’s so much more than just snapping pictures

Summerville, SC
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,500

As a hopeless romantic with a fondness for all things vintage, I specialize in capturing timeless photos of the details and moments celebrating the love of your day. Utilizing natural light as much as possible as to not create an artificial mood, I consider my style to be photojournalistic, with a relaxed, natural feeling, even during formal portraits. Overly staged portraits and calculated setups aren't really my jam. After the party's over, my work continues, using post-processing software like Lightroom and Photoshop, ensuring you and your photos look their best and unique!

  • Photojournalistic style

I have been a photographer since my freshman year of high school when I was given the opportunity to photograph the football team as well as to help with photos for the yearbook. I moved from Delaware to South Carolina in 2009, where I fell in love with the Lowcountry. I specialize in weddings, but I absolutely love capturing an engagement or family session as well! I like to approach any and all sessions with a photojournalistic eye. My goal is always to capture true and authentic moments between couples, families, and friends while providing my clients with gorgeous memories.

Found kelly on internet search for a local photographer in Charleston she was very quick to email me with details and pricing and did an amazing job for our wedding then got hundreds of pictures back within 2 weeks (amazing quality). Almost 10 years later we returned to Charleston with 3 children for family pictures that I chose Kelly to take again and so impressed with her ability to capture these precious moments.

Working with Kristy was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. She was communicative with the process of wedding planning and was flexible with our schedule. When we told her about our change in our wedding date, Kristy was not only understanding but was also very accommodating… which we appreciated so much! The day of our wedding, Kristy arrived on time (6am!) and was able to capture beautiful sunrise pictures. She was so great with our big crazy family. She was also very flexible when we had to change up our outside venue to inside due to the rain. Kristy even stayed to take cute solo pics of me by the pool.

Once Like a Spark Wedding Co.

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,845
  • Serves Summerville, SC

More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

OLAS were the easiest vendor I worked with throughout the wedding process. Their quick and efficient communication gave me the peace of mind I needed when it came to wedding photos. I had a very specific vision for our imagery, and OLAS and our photographer were more than accommodating as I neurotically guided some photos. Our photographer came equipped with a great attitude and even better skills in capturing our day, and I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photography experience.

Rhett masterfully captured our wedding from beginning to end, all our guests loved him. He made it a point to interact with all of them to capture their images while at an intimate destination wedding. Rhett knew where my husband and I were throughout the entirety of the night - so we always had photos taken with guests when they requested them. I had a bold vision for drone shots at and around our venue, Rhett was excited and executed my vision flawlessly. Matt and I have plans to come to Charleston yearly and we know Rhett will always be trusted to take our photos, and one day, our family photos. I cannot recommend him enough!

She stepped right into the flow of things on our wedding day and kept everyone on schedule and in good spirits. The photos came back better than I could've imagined and our guests haven't stopped talking about them.

She captured the moments where true emotion showed through and was able to get my sneak peak pictures to me within a couple days. Which I know was difficult with how much goes into editing, so that alone speaks to her work ethic not behind the camera! I have so many wonderful things to say about her I’m not sure it will all fit!
