Questions
questions Couples Ask
Do you photograph weddings on Hilton Head?
Yes. Sea Pines, the beach, the island's resorts and across the river in Bluffton, at Palmetto Bluff and Oldfield.
How much do you charge?
Most couples invest $9,000 to $18,000. Collections generally range from $3,000 to $30,000, from a few hours for an elopement to a multi day celebration. See the investment page.
Are you a Lowcountry specialist?
Yes. I lived on Hilton Head for many years, and about 400 of my 450 weddings have been in the Lowcountry. Moss draped oaks, the marsh and golden hour light are my specialty.
Do you offer photography and film?
Yes. Photography and films are available together or separately.
Can you cover our wedding weekend?
Yes. I cover welcome parties, the wedding day and the send off. Tell me which events you are planning.
Do we need a permit to marry on the beach?
Yes. The Town of Hilton Head Island requires a free permit, applied for online at least 30 days ahead. The beach guide has the rest.
I feel awkward in photos. Is that a problem?
Not at all. Most people do. I will tell you where to stand and what to do, and there is plenty of room to laugh and be yourselves.
What if it rains?
We make a rain plan ahead of time, with covered porches, tents and big windows, so nobody has to panic on the day.
How do we begin?
Send me your date, your location and a little about your vision. I normally reply within minutes or hours with a personal text.
Your Date
