Alex Thornton Photography

omfortable. After my wedding, I had multiple guests proactively tell me how much they loved Alex - I think it's pretty rare for wedding guests to have so much positive feedback on the photographer, but that's because Alex is truly so special! I feel lucky to have gotten to spend my wedding day with her. She truly is the best.

his and I felt like we were instant friends! She did a beautiful job with our engagement pictures downtown Charleston - she knows all the cute spots! Then she photographed our wedding with her second shooter Tessie and WOW. Our day was captured in the best way possible. I teared up when we got our sneak peak, then again when we got our full gallery. They captured not only wonderful portraits of us, but all the moments in between - times when I forgot the cameras were there. I had people come up to me who weren't able to make it and tell me they felt like they were there from just seeing all the pictures. They did the perfect mix of posed and "in the moment" shots. They were also so much fun to work with and made everyone feel comfortable! I can't say enough good things about her!

d to find that she was available! She offered pricing by the hour which was a change from other vendors I researched and was more convenient for our situation. She was also a joy from start to finish. We are not from Charleston and she gave the best advice on timing in regards to locations, timing and lighting. She made us feel so special and at ease and communicated so well! Thank you, Alex!!

iful part in the city to meet so we could walk around and take pictures. During our session she was the absolute sweetest, posed us, complimented us, and made us feel VERY comfortable being in front of the camera. She kept me up to date about when the photos would be ready. We got them today and they are GORGEOUS! She gave us so many to pick from. I can't wait to hang them up around our home. I am very happy we decided to book with Alex!

me a little part of our family during my sister's wedding process, and I am BEYOND grateful for the two of them. Their fun and calm spirits truly made the day so much fun, and they handled everything that came up with such grace and ease. Their images are incredible and I still look at the wedding gallery a few times a month. I treasure those images like gold, and I wish we could relive the day over and over with Alex and Sean by our side! You are in AMAZING hands with Alex Thornton Photography. <3

enal work. I have been lucky to call them friends for several years now and have watched this company grow and develop. We love their attention to detail and the quality of the final product. The pictures are one of the most important parts of the wedding. They are the memories you have from the day, and Alex has a true gift for capturing the most timeless ones while making you feel so comfortable during the process. She has such a calming energy that any couple needs on their wedding day! I knew without any doubt that I wanted Alex Thornton Photography to capture our day, and I cannot recommend them enough!

asy. I discovered Alex through a co-worker's recommendation and when I met her and Sean I knew they were perfect as part of the wedding family. I was hoping to find vendors that had a similar personality to my friends surround me during my wedding and Alex fit in perfectly! She was so calm, patient, positive and you could tell her eyes danced when she got excited. That excitement translated to her photography skills, placement of people, the little details and capturing the most memorable moments. I have so many of those "decisive moments" at my wedding and Alex and Sean captured all of them. It was a joy looking through my photos, which Alex delivered ahead of schedule, because I was able to relive my wedding and actually enjoy the details and decor I spent so many hours planning, but didn't really get to enjoy or notice the day of. I do think that one of the most important people at your wedding is the photographer because you continue the relationship after the wedding is over. I would hands down recommend Alex as a wedding photographer, because you get so much more than gorgeous photos, you get a genuine, talented, sweet and loving friend!

a fortuitous meeting with her at a bridal show in Nashville and it was undeniable how incredible she is. Her work accurately reflects her beauty on the inside and out! When my now husband met her at our engagement session, he felt too, as if she had been a lifelong friend. She has a gift for capturing and bringing to life the most incredible photos of memories you'll cherish forever. She really knows how to bring out the best in her clients and in the environment she shoots in. She made our wedding day beyond a dream come true. I wouldn't have wanted to share it with anyone else or have trusted anyone to bring my vision to life as accurately as she did. And how enjoyable to spend it with someone I now and will always consider a dear friend!!! I continue and will forever sing her praises for my exceptionally perfect engagement and wedding photographer and photos!!! I cannot thank her enough for being so kind, professional, caring, attentive, efficient, and overall simply perfect in all ways. She made every aspect of this experience exciting, effortless, fun and memorable from beginning to end. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Alex, for being you and sharing your gift with us!!! I'm so grateful and love you dearly!

was our girl! She is so full of love and it shines through in all of her images. Not only is she a barrel of monkeys to spend time with, her pictures are amazing and she makes you feel ultra comfortable in front of the lens. You will feel like her best friend during your planning stages and it doesn't end at your wedding - you create a true relationship with her and I can't see hiring anyone else EVER for any photos we want taken! If you want a fun loving craft beer fan photographer who can capture just about any image (posed or candid) with a true passion for your day, meet with Alex...you will be glad you did, we are for sure :)
