If you opt for the 30-minute option, you’ll focus on fewer spots, making it ideal for quick trips or couples who prefer a shorter session.

The Route and Locations

While the exact itinerary may vary based on your preferences and the day’s weather, the photographers focus on showcasing Charleston’s most photogenic landmarks and hidden gems. Expect a relaxed walk through charming streets, scenic squares, and perhaps some lesser-known spots that only locals usually visit.

From reviews, we learn that the guides are adept at customizing the shoot to your desired style—whether that’s romantic, fun, or family-oriented. One reviewer mentioned how the photographer, Renata, was personable and helped with posing, resulting in “phenomenal” photos that truly captured their trip’s spirit.

The Photography Style and Experience

The team specializes in holiday, portrait, lifestyle, couple, and family photography. They aim to keep the session natural and authentic, encouraging you to be yourselves rather than overly staged. One reviewer highlighted how Brandon, another photographer, made them feel very comfortable by not over-posing and suggested natural poses, which turned out to be their favorite shots.

Reviewers also appreciated the communication beforehand and the photographer’s ability to adapt to weather conditions—an important factor in outdoor shoots. This flexibility ensures you’ll get beautiful photos even if the weather isn’t perfect.

The Value of the Experience

At $147.88 per person, this photoshoot offers excellent value considering the professional quality and personalized approach.

Travelers who have booked in advance—typically about 54 days ahead—seem to find it worth the wait, ensuring their spot with a trusted local team. The private nature of the tour means only your group participates, providing an intimate and tailored experience.
