It was indeed a well planned proposal at the beautiful, luxurious Dewberry hotel. What an honor to be selected amongst my peers to capture this at the rooftop during sunset. I am very honored and glad when you were searching for proposal photographer th a t you had a key eye for true photography and what I have been recognized and honor to be for 26 years a lighting master.
Thank you for everything including this priceless amazing review. Hoping to maybe have this honor to capture your wedding in NYC.
I love destination weddings.

Michel and his team did the most amazing job capturing the best day of our lives in Hilton Head nearly 10 years ago. They were extremely professional and so easy to work with and the photos came out AMAZING!! It’s been almost 10 years since our special day and I lost the file for our pictures and emailed them to see if by any chance they could help me out. Not only did I get an immediate response (which I was not intending), they were able to locate our file and they spent 6-7 hours manually uploading everything onto several drives and creating a new link so that I could incorporate them into a 10yr anniversary present. I was honestly blown away about the level of service and going above and beyond without charging me just so that they could continue to provide excellent service to their clients nearly 10 years later. I would give them 10 stars if I could. Michel and his team are true professionals in every way possible. Thanks again!!!

He was expert in how and where he posed us both inside and outside our lovely Charleston Place Hotel. He was patient and kind with our personality styles. His sense of humor allowed everyone to relax and enjoy the moment of capturing memories.
Highly recommend!

Words are incredibly powerful, and it was an absolute delight to work with a client like you. Your proposal was clearly very important to you, and I understand that you had many options to choose from. However, your keen eye for photography led you to choose me, knowing that most other photographers would rely on automatic technology and be unable to capture the beauty of blue skies and sunsets. It was an honor and a privilege to be a part of this special moment in your and Rachel's lives, and I am thrilled that my artistic photography will help you both remember it for years to come. Thank you once again for choosing me.

"I feel incredibly fortunate to have had the privilege and honor of capturing over 550 weddings in the past 26 years. I am passionate about what I do and I have no plans of stopping. I have noticed that some other wedding photographers in Charleston provide images that have blown-out highlights in the background, which I believe is not professional photography, and I cannot see any clients paying or investing in such work. That is why I am committed to continuing my journey to provide every client, like you, with images and sunset wedding photos that you will cherish for a lifetime. It was a pleasure to meet you all and to capture these incredible wedding images for you. Thank you so much for your review and for giving me the privilege to capture your special day."

Michel was so amazing to work with for my surprise proposal! Him and my fiancé Blake collaborated not only on the site, but he provided us with the most incredible pictures to look back on! He was very professional to work with while still making us laugh and feel comfortable behind the camera.
Response from the owner · 2 years ago
Wow, Hannah you are such a wonderful client! The best couple kind, beautiful, and a pleasure to work with. I'm so happy that I was able to assist Blake with finding the perfect spot for his beach proposal, and that I was able to deliver the sunset photos that I promised him. Thank you so much for your kind review - it means the world to me! I'm thrilled that the proposal photos you had envisioned turned out so beautifully.
