Our Destination Photography Portfolio
I’ve been wanting to get all of our various shoots from out of state and overseas together, and February provided the opportunity. Here’s a show of some of my favorite shots that we’ve taken in France, London, Greece, Italy, Mexico, and all over the US.

We have hundreds of our wedding albums posted on our charlestonwedding.com website. Here’s a list of some of the more popular wedding and reception sites that we’ve gotten to photograph over […]
Baby Eden
One of the blessings of my career is being invited back to our past wedding couples to photograph their babies. Baby Eden is a beautiful little girl, and a perfect personality for Harry and Farrah.
Engagement Portrait Session in Downtown Charleston
I’m so thankful that Vandana, Tiru, and I were able to get together for this session. In a few weeks, I’m looking forward to photographing their traditional Indian ceremony in Spartanburg, and I think that this session really helped us click so that the wedding day will be that much better. Enjoy!

What a ride!
For our 5 year anniversary last August, Mell and I went to Knobles Amusement park in Pennsylvania (a way cool vintage park that Mell went to as a kid). Mike and Rachel Mizzell were extraordinarily generous enough to fly up to take our pictures (from which we have an AMAZING collection of anniversary images!). At the end of the evening, Mell’s […]

Wedding at St. Luke’s Chapel and Reception at the Wickliffe House in Charleston, SC
I had the pleasure, again, of second shooting for Valerie Schooling a couple weeks ago. Brennan and Brad were married at St. Luke’s Chapel on MUSC campus, and had their reception across the street at the Wickliffe House (with amazing catering by Mediterra). Candice at Yoj Events provided flawless and thoughtful coordination. As […]
Wedding at Divine Redeemer Catholic Church and Reception at Charleston Harbor Resort and Marina
With their wedding at the surprisingly photogenic Divine Redeemer Catholic Church (purple wall,–who knew?) and the unique beach-pier-cabana venue of the Charleston Harbor Resort and Marina, Jennifer and Jory had the perfect Charleston Wedding. As a wedding photographer who attends many dozens of weddings a year, I’m not ashamed to say that this family made me cry […]
Maribeth and Ben’s Wedding at St. Philips Church and the Charleston Visitor’s Center
Maribeth and Ben had a lovely evening wedding. Valerie Schooling was the lead photographer, and I tagged along because we love this family. This is our third time photographing a Kellenbenz daughter, so the wedding was just so special for us. St. Philip’s Church in downtown Charleston is perhaps the most well-known Charleston landmark, so […]
Andy and Jen’s Wedding in Denver, CO
There’s something about the brisk November weather that brings out the romance in the air. Andy and Jen’s evening wedding took place at beautiful Space Gallery, which is nestled in the heart of Denver, Colorado’s Art District on Santa Fe Drive. Their love for each other was such a beautiful thing to behold, and their […]

Laura and Joey’s Engagement Session in Lexington, KY
Laura and Joey really wanted to have their engagement session up in their hometown of Lexington, so they flew me up for the day (Halloween, incidentally) for a day of shooting. We started out in downtown, and then moved to what is redoubtably the most beautiful ranch I’ve ever been, where prize-winning race horses are bred, raised, and […]
Denver, CO Wedding Sneak Peak
I (Mell Bell) couldn’t wait to share this image from Andy and Jenny’s wedding in Denver, CO! They chose the beautiful Space Gallery as their venue, which is nestled in the heart of Denver’s Art District on Santa Fe Drive. Can you tell it was only 40 something degrees outside? More fun to appear in […]
Preview from Justin Smoak and Kristin Bevacqua’s Wedding!
We had the amazing opportunity and honor to photograph Kristin and Justin’s wedding last weekend.
