Wedding Day videos

If a picture captures a thousand words, what does a Custom Wedding Day Video, made up of all the special little moments of your big day, capture? We don’t actually know the answer to that, but we do know that hiring a videographer for your wedding day costs thousands of dollars, and for most couples hiring a photographer and a videographer is out of the question. That’s why we are so excited and proud to offer videography services in addition to our Wedding Photography Collections, allowing couples who might not have been able to afford both services the chance to remember the story of their Wedding Day with both beautiful photos and emotional videos. Please check out our Wedding Collections here.

What Our Clients Say

Southern Tide was amazing to work with! Leslie and her team were professional but so much fun. We couldn’t be happier with our experience, our photos and our video. I wouldn’t have changed a thing! I highly recommend Southern Tide Photography. The quality of their photos are better than any other company I’ve seen. They’re the best!

Melissa and Warren

Leslie and her team and just amazing! They were SO incredible to work with and handled all of my needs with the most care! They were even flexible with my changing plans due to Covid-19! If you want wedding vendors that not only do their job well but also CARE, this is the photo team you need

Tori and Brice

Southern Tide Photography is THE best and was the greatest decision we made for our wedding.  We had seen Leslie and her team at several other weddings we have attended over the last 4 years and I knew I wanted them to do my wedding one day! Leslie and her team are so easy to work with, they make their job look so easy and effortless. We loved every single thing about our photos and video. The attention to detail, the patience, and how comfortable she made all of us feel was unforgettable. All of our expectations were exceeded. We had all of our photos and video back in NO TIME.  The video is breathtaking and the compliments we have received are unreal.

Nikki and Cody

Leslie and her team were more than amazing! My wedding poured down rain from the moment I was suppose to walk down the isle until the time my husband and I did our exit. Leslie was just wonderful the whole day and even made us feel better about the rain. I cannot wait to see our final pictures and video when the time comes because what we have already gotten are just breath taking! I hope to work with Southern Tide Photography more in the future!

Elize and Andrew

Leslie is amazing! We chose her because she was responsive and reliable since the beginning. She was so easy to work with. She made us feel extremely comfortable. We received all our photos after about 2 weeks from the wedding. The photos were amazing. She was definitely the best choice for us and I would highly recommend her!

Brianna and Chase

We couldn't have been happier with our wedding photos! Leslie and her team are great to work with and produce high quality work!  They all are so easy to work with, very responsive, and makes the picture taking process relaxing and enjoyable. Leslie took our engagement photos, bridal portraits, and wedding day photos. We loved how they turned out and how she makes everything "flow" together. She definitely has an eye for detail and keeps a theme going throughout the entire process.  Leslie and her team also took our wedding video which perfectly captured our day! I would highly recommend using them for a wedding video. You won't regret it and it's great to be able to look back on those special moments.

How to Choose Among all the Wedding Photographers in Charleston SC

There are so many Wedding Photographers in Charleston SC or even charleston sc beach photographers that is can seem like a daunting task to choose one for your Wedding Day. We book more new clients based off referrals from past clients than any other source. That means our clients loved our services enough to recommend us to their friends and family…and that means the world to us. Our number one goal is to provide the absolute best service to all our clients, and a part of that is by providing our services at an affordable cost for all. When booking your Wedding with Southern Tide Photography, you will get experienced, beautiful, and creative wedding photography AT AN AFFORDABLE PRICE. Weddings can be so expensive to plan, and every bride and groom deserves the wedding of their dreams. We want to help you achieve your dream without costing you a small fortune. This belief is one of the reasons we started creating custom Wedding Day Videos (yes, actual video footage!) for our photography clients. Videography can be a huge expense for couples getting married, and if you have to add that on to photography services then video can be out of reach for many couples. By booking with Southern Tide Photography for your wedding photography, you can get video coverage of your wedding day, at no additional cost with many of our Wedding Photography Collections!

At Southern Tide Photography, we are experts in knowing how to position the lighting properly, how to help clients pose perfectly, designing stunning personalized albums, and much more.
