Lindsay was by far the best vendor of our whole wedding. She made the day so enjoyable and stress-free with her amazing energy and talent. Aside from being fabulous at her job, she is so thoughtful and lovely. As a bride and groom who were extremely camera shy, she made us feel totally comfortable the entire time and the photos turned out better than we could have ever imagined. We still keep in touch with her and can’t recommend her enough! Lindsay is the absolute best all around.

Christina photographed our November 2022 wedding in Charleston, SC. We first contacted Christina after seeing her work on Instagram. The quality and style of her images stood out in a crowd of hundreds of Charleston wedding photographers. We had an engagement session with Christina a few months before our wedding. It was useful to practice posing and working together ahead of our wedding. Leading up to wedding day, she was consistently communicative and punctual. She was able/ willing to help and lend suggestions in all aspects of the wedding planning process. On the wedding day, things ran late but Christina managed to hit the ground running with family formals in the church and bridal party pictures downtown (a 40 min drive) and then we made it to the reception in plenty of time. She navigated all family and friend dynamics and knew when to blend into the background and when to assert herself to get the best pictures. Christina is a joy to work with. We received many compliments from family and friends about how much they enjoyed Christina on our wedding day. We received our complete album shortly after the wedding and her pictures are beautiful! The connection and ease we found with her shows through in the final product. We will treasure these photos forever.

Hello! I'm Dennis Aliaksandrou of Charleston Photo Art. My decade-long journey in professional photography focuses on weddings, elopements, and engagement photography. We craft timeless memories in our photos and videos. My background in Psychology helps me capture the essence of your special moments. We're dedicated to authentically telling your story through our lenses.

I am so happy we stumbled across Dennis and his team for our wedding. We had our first experience with him for our engagement photos and he is such a joy to be around. He is very professional, timely, accommodating, friendly, and funny. We had 3 photo sessions with him, our engagements, my bridal portraits, and our wedding and he knocked all of them out of the park. They are all so beautiful and he even shows you some while he's taking them so you can get an idea of what they look like. He makes sure you’re happy with them once you get them back and if there’s anything you want changed. He also makes sure you know how he wants you to pose or just do something funny to be natural. He has very quick turn around and is truly amazing at what he does. We love the fact that his photos are natural looking and he really captures everyone’s true beauty. We also go to meet and work with Megan on our wedding day and she was a great addition to have! We love the photos she took as well and they both made our day so enjoyable. Our guests, families, and bridal party all enjoyed working with them. We can’t wait to continue to work with Dennis and his team in the future! We will highly recommend Charleston Photo Art to anyone needing a photographer!

I’m weird (aren’t we all?), but I’m unapologetically myself, and I am obsessed with my job and this life I am so blessed to live. I've worked with some awesome couples, and maybe you're the next!

Awarded Best of Zola
Nick is a gem!! We are so thankful that he photographed our wedding. My partner and I had a lot of requests, and Nick accommodated them all while never making us feel difficult. He listened carefully to what was important to us - for my husband it was not stopping the party to take pictures and for me it was LOTS of candids of our loved ones. Somehow Nick made it happen!! We got gorgeous photos of the two of us just being ourselves with each other and amazing dance floor shots of our guests having the best time! With no posing!! The colors in the photos are fantastic -- even though Nick does AMAZING work outdoors he makes indoor photography feel just as special. Nick made a special effort to take a lot of photos of my grandparents and our parents specifically which we will treasure in years to come. Our friends said that the photos "look like how the day felt" which felt so right. We were amazed by how many micro moments between guests Nick captured!! Reliving the day via the photos is now my favorite past time. To top it all off, Nick was incredibly kind and calm throughout the day. Everyone in our families raved about how nice our photographer was. He worked with our coordinator for our timeline to run on schedule without ever making us feel rushed. We got to be fully present all day long. It was the exact energy you want by your side throughout your wedding. If we could change one thing it would have been having Nick for more time!!

I’m Felisha, an Award Winning - Published New England Wedding + Portrait photographer with the honor of capturing love stories and cherished moments across New England since 2013. Photography isn’t just my career—it’s the way I connect with people, turning clients into dear friends and fleeting moments into timeless memories. When I’m not behind the lens, you’ll find me soaking up life with my high school sweetheart, our beautiful daughter, and our two chocolate Labradors. My heart beats for real, authentic moments—the kind where love and laughter come effortlessly.

Awarded Best of Zola
Our goal for wedding photos was to be transported back to our wedding day - more of a storytelling style than formal portraits. Felisha totally nailed it, and somehow managed to capture some extra magic in there too. Leading up to the wedding, Felisha was great at helping us feel comfortable with her, and we’re usually camera shy! We felt like we made a new friend! We weren’t planning to do a “first look”, but after how much we loved our engagement photos we decided to add that element to our wedding day as an excuse to get more time with Felisha and have some more Amazing portraits. During the wedding, Felisha and her second shooter were totally professional and unobtrusive - we didn’t notice them doing their thing, and neither did our guests. She was fun to work with, super on top of everything, and the results speak for themselves. We’re already dreaming up other life events that we might want to have professionally photographed, as an excuse to work with her again!

Hi I'm Hannah and I'm from tiny fishing village in Cornwall, England but moved here to North Carolina in 2017. Fun fact, they actually filmed some of scenes for the Game of Thrones spin off, House of the dragon there! It's hard to pick favorites but if your wedding includes a dog in the bridal party, a dress with pockets and the cupid shuffle....COUNT ME IN! Among my never-ending list of dream sessions is of course a wedding at Disneyworld and the ultimate outdoorsy engagement session with the wild horses at Shackleford Banks. Don't be surprised when I ask you to add me to your pinterest boards so I can fangirl over your wedding plans.
