We LOVED working with Anchor & Veil. Devin's personality drew us in right away and we knew we wanted to work with them on our big day! We were originally assigned a different photo...
grapher(Mabyn) who took amazing engagement pictures, but due to unforeseen circumstances Devin stepped in for us! He was fabulous and took the most incredible pictures. You would love working or interacting with anyone at Anchor and Veil because they are all so caring and personable. I would 100% recommend hiring them for your wedding!
If you are on the lookout right now for a photographer, do yourself a favor and save a huge step and HIRE ANCHOR & VEIL PHOTOGRAPHY! You can thank me later.
I searched up and down...
for a local photographer (although they will travel anywhere for you) and something kept pulling me back to Anchor & Veil. They keep a busy business with others, but make you feel like one of a kind from beginning to end.
We started out by meeting Devon on Zoom, he also does his homework on the couple to get to know you better and what photographers he would pair you up with if he was not available. From the start, you can tell Devon is such a class-act, KIND, personal, and family oriented guy. You can tell from talking with him and seeing his pictures, he truly has a passion to capturing your special moments.
I can’t thank Devon enough for pairing us up with Christian Reyes for our engagement session and Christian and Anya for our wedding.
We also met Christian on Zoom before our engagement session. A&V should be so grateful to have Christian a part of their team! Christian took a moment to meet us and get to know us before hand on Zoom..and meeting her in person for our engagement session you would have thought Christian was one of our long lost close friends. A&V did a GOOD JOB connecting Christian with us. You can also tell Christian has a great passion for her work and art in photography. She has a natural talent of also feeling a person out on what they want- she just knew- that takes a special talent. Christian has such a great professionalism to her with a fun side- everything you would want from a photographer.
Christian and Anya were hired for our wedding day and did a GREAT job of capturing every moment. Receiving the pictures back 3 weeks later, it took me right back to every memory that happened that day. Your wedding day truly happens so fast, hiring Anchor & Veil, helps you go back and slows down time once you have the chance to look at your pictures. We cried, laughed, and felt those emotions come back once we saw our pictures. I will say, Christian and Anya with Anchor & Veil completed the assignment. If we could go back, I would hire them all over again. So again, do yourself a favor, spend the money, and hire this team! They are well worth it.
My ONLY take back is the albums. Choosing out of SO many pictures is hard for what little amount of pages you receive for the album. I do question adding a page for $99 sounds a bit off for what you spent already. I also wish we were able to see the pictures before hand before looking at the pre-done album. We did feel a bit rushed during this process of making the albums and that it could have been better for a piece that will forever be with us.
Thank you Anchor & Veil team, Devon, Christian, Anya, and Mikayla for your hard work for our special memories. I will forever recommend your team! Truly, KC & Serena
It's taken me a long time to write this because I was so emotional about my experience but I'm finally ready to warn everyone about this business. We hired A&V for our engagement p...
hotos, rehearsal, wedding day and for video.
They have different packages based on who you want to be your photographer. We went with the most expensive, hiring the owner himself, Devin.
First off the photos in their portfolio are not even theirs because what photos we did receive were nothing like those. The portfolio is staged and fake weddings so no wonder they are so great.
Devin lost everything. My entire rehearsal dinner/day (and since we had him we took ZERO photos ourselves) and majority of the wedding photos. The wedding photos I did get were AWFUL. I have zero pictures of me with my family.
We also paid extra to have two photographers for wedding day. I did this because I wanted someone with me and someone with my husband at all times for getting ready then someone with us after the ceremony and someone with guests. Well he brought a second photographer day of, but he was basically an intern. Handed Devin his camera, held up lights for him, etc. Not once did he leave Devins side. So we basically paid him extra to have support and train someone.
Several weeks after the wedding I kept asking for our photos. Devin kept procrastinating and making excuses. Finally my husband called him out and said you lost the photos didnt you? Which he finally admitted he basically taped over the rehearsal photos and lost the wedding day.
Adding here, my husband guessed it bc I told him at the wedding a guest came up to me and said hey I found this sim card in the gravel. It was Devins. It had fallen out of his pocket and been destroyed.
I was and am devastated. You cannot recreate these photos and I will never get another wedding. I hope everyone reads this and thinks twice before hiring him or his company. Because you won't even get a refund. Read the contract very carefully.
Cannot say enough amazing things about A&V! Devin is an absolute artist behind the camera and every single photo turned out STUNNING. He made our wedding and engagement sessions so...
much fun and made us feel like naturals behind the camera. Every time I look back at our photos, I am so thankful we found Anchor & Veil. If you are thinking about booking A&V for your wedding – DO IT – it will be the best decision of your big day!
I have followed Devin, and Anchor and Veil for years, with hopes that one day he would be able to capture one of the most special days of our lives.
I will never forget when I sp...
oke with him about shooting our wedding. When Devin told me he was available for us, I about fell out of my chair!! From that moment on, I can honestly say I didn’t stress any change or hiccup that comes along with getting married during a pandemic, and in the dead of winter. I had the photographer of my dreams, and I knew he would take care of us.
I am left absolutely speechless after receiving our wedding photos. He was able to capture every moment perfectly, and some moments I would’ve never seen by many other wedding photographers. It’s clear he is a true artist with an eye for capturing the most beautiful visuals to showcase this.
I have had multiple guests reach out to me to give kudos to him. He is seriously one of the kindest humans we’ve ever met. Each member of his team that I have spoken with has made me feel so at ease, and genuinely valued as a Bride. If you are on the fence- I’m screaming BOOK HIM! BOOK HIM HONEY! He is worth every penny and MORE. I will forever be thankful he gave me these amazing memories to look back on.
Devin is seriously the best! We feel so lucky to have snagged them to capture our wedding! We continue to keep in touch with them and want more memories captured by them! If you wa...
nt one of a kind photos then Anchor & Veil is who you need to choose!
THE BEST! Having Anchor and Veil shoot the most important event in my life was surreal! From the engagement shoot to boudoir to our beautiful wedding, it was all amazing. Everyone ...
was eagerly waiting to see our pictures based on how good our engagement shoot was! Let me tell you, this group has it down pat! Devin, Mabyn, and Katie(Boudoir) all made me feel so comfy it’s like I’ve known them for years! Being a Covid bride you just need some reassurance that everything was going to be okay and it was! Love you guys!!
We loved working with Anchor & Veil for our engagement photos and our wedding! Devin has a unique way of capturing all of his photos, and they are all jaw dropping beautiful. He ma...
kes the photoshoots so much FUN and loved having that energy on our big day!! We worked with Devin & Ali for photography on our wedding and they blew us away. When Anchor & Veil came out with their videographer team, we got on that right away. We LOVE all the work that they create and not only that, but who they are and their big hearts. They love LOVE! Thank you a million Anchor & Veil!!
Devin has the best energy! He is so creative and wants to make sure you get the best pictures. Highly recommend A&V!!
Anchor and Veil are the absolute best when it comes to capturing anyone’s special day. They are story tellers and their photos show it. If you don’t want average wedding photos the...
y are the people to hire! You will not be disappointed.
What can I possibly say about Anchor & Veil that at this point hasn’t already been said? Honestly, I was going to write this review before I had even received my pictures back just...
based off of the 13 pictures we got as a sneak peek! When Ben and I first got engaged, I knew that I wanted Devin to do our engagements and wedding pictures. After our first meeting I knew that I still really wanted to hire them, but if I am being honest had a little bit of sticker shock that I knew I was going to need to work through with Ben. Let me tell you this, the investment was WORTH EVERY SINGLE PENNY. When we started talking about what would be important to our wedding and what we wanted to have down the road, our minds were immediately made up that not only did it have to be Anchor & Veil, but that it needed to be Devin. He knew what our vision was from that first meeting and captured the elegance, warmth, and love that we had so hoped our wedding would look like. The personality and attention to detail that Devin and team bring to every interaction make this particular part of the wedding planning process an absolute dream and something that I knew I never had to worry about. I also have to give Katie a shout out because she did my Boudoir Shoot which was my gift to Ben for the wedding and she was absolutely wonderful to work with. Truly you cannot go wrong if you decide to be in the Anchor & Veil family and that is exactly how I felt when we went with Devin and team, that we had more family supporting and encouraging our marriage every step of the wedding process.
Really impressed with our wedding photos. We received hundreds of edited good shots about one month after the wedding and it exceeded all expectations. Katie and Devin and the whol...
e team are super responsive, talented at what they do, and captured all the important moments my now wife and our families were envisioning.
Also, Katie spent a good 2-3 hours taking engagement photos of us a month before the wedding. That was all included in the package, but I think totally worth it.
UPDATE from previous post about the engagement session: we have now received our WEDDING photos, and my family, friends and I are head over heels in love with the online album of o...
ver 700 edited, high resolution photos!!!!
Katie Lee was our lead photographer and made sure the day ran so smoothly, despite my dress not fitting day of....Katie is so calm in the midst of chaos. She even had her husband bring another corset to us to try and fix the dress issue...on top of trouble shooting problems outside of our control, she captured every detail of the day and all the sweet candid moments. The day went by so fast. I find myself learning from the photos more and more of what actually went on. Our 2nd shooter has the best guest photos following the bagpiper parade while my husband and I were off signing marriage paperwork and taking portraits post ceremony.
If I began to summarize the amount of love pouring in around these photos it would take me pages. Here are other reasons I love A&V:
QUALITY: 5 stars. Best photos I've ever seen (of me) in my life. Not in an overly edited way, but just a perfect way. I love that A&V is a whole team of multiple talented photographers locally that have one A&V editing team.
PROFESSIONALISM: 5 stars. Runs their business with clients as a top priority. Trustworthy and professional.
COMMUNICATION: 5 stars. Katie (lead photographer) and I stayed in touch almost everyday leading up to the wedding sharing ideas over IG and re-running over the top priority shots she wanted me to write out so that nothing would be missed. I also loved getting emails from Devin (Owner) updating us on all things important!
REAL HUMANS: 5 stars. Genuine, good people. I am so happy A&V is here on this planet and was able to be a part of our big day. So grateful for you guys. <3
Anchor and Veil are AMAZING people and they are BEYOND talented. I cannot say enough about this talented team. Your pictures will be pure art, perfect and capture every emotion of ...
your special day. If you are even considering this talented group, DO IT! They made our picture dreams come true!!!
Anchor and Veil are not only incredible photographers, but also incredible people. We would not have wanted anyone else shoot out perfect day. If you hire them you will only be ama...
zed! Photos will be the only thing you have left to remember your day.

way! The attention to detail, ability to capture all of the magical moments, and tackle our three day wedding weekend was truly amazing! Hands down worth the investment and 10/10 would hire them again!
I always told myself I wouldn’t be that girl who uses every excuse to post pictures of her wedding day, BUT here I am...... Anchor & Veil is making it too hard not to 📸
I knew lo...
ng before Jordan proposed that I wanted Devin & Kathryn to shoot my wedding. I definitely got some push back, and it was actually the only disagreement Jordan and I got into while wedding planning 🤫
“Anyone can take pictures!” WRONG! 🤪 At the end of the day... all you have are the fragmented memories and the photographs. It goes by so quickly and I’m so thankful I went with my gut.
Devin & Kathryn are not only incredible photographers. They are AMAZING people. They made us feel so comfortable. I never thought twice or worried about professionalism or talent. Devin is so creative and has an eye for the shot. Kathryn is extremely detail oriented and organized. They make a killer team.
I think my fiance /now hubby would kill me, but I would probably pay double to have them do it all over again. They are forever friends and I can't wait to see the rest of our pictures!!!!
AMAZING. Let me just start by saying, Anchor and Veil deserves 6 stars. My husband and I have had the pleasure of not only working with Devin and Kathryn, but simply getting to kno...
w them. They are the BEST people with fantastic personalities that light up every room. They make you feel so comfortable while you're shooting and it shows in the photos. All of our guests LOVED. THEM. Not to mention - their work is phenomenal. They capture detail better than anyone in the business and truly leave you with photos that allow you to go back to every second of your day and relive that moment. We are so grateful for their talent, friendship, and the beautiful photos that we will get to keep forever. If you have an opportunity to work with them... DO IT NOW!
DO IT. I am not sure why these photographers don't have their own section on the knot above everyone else :) Their work is completely unmatched. I don't even know where to begin to...
describe how much we love them and appreciate their work. My husband literally already said he wished we could reserve them years in advance for every other event we would need photography for! They capture the most raw and emotional moments because they feel like family. It is so important to feel calm and confident on the day of your wedding and they make sure to guide you every step of the way. These pictures are the most special thing we will own and I can't wait to share them for years to come with our children, grandchildren..
WHERE TO BEGIN? Kathryn & Devin....we love you guys!
These photos were the TALK of the wedding...even my wedding planner said they were the BEST photos she has EVER seen in her c...
areer at a wedding. Just astonishing. Everything from the engagement through the wedding with you guys was just so professional, timely & beautiful!
I can not say enough good things. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Amazing! The photos they took were so awesome! The images are imaginative and magazine worthy! Definitely worth every cent!!! They are also super organized and even provided us...
with a schedule for the day which made everything easier. On top of that you get two great photographers and they stay for your entire wedding day even if you have extended it!!
Anchor & Veil was far and away worth every penny! They are such warm people and it shows through their beautiful work. Don't think twice- hire them!
Basically, we want to hang-out and be best friends with Devin & Kathryn. That’s how personable they truly are. Throughout our entire experience with them...from meeting them at a...
Charleston Wedding Expo, to working with them at our Engagement Photo session, and through the day of our wedding, we couldn’t even come close to finding two more professional, caring, and just awesome people...and that’s just me talking about their personalities and level of service - it was an experience in its’ own! Once we selected the venues for the engagement sessions and wedding, we left it up to Devin and Kathryn. They know what they’re doing - and listen to them...you WILL NOT be disappointed! They make everything so easy for everyone!.
Now, the photos...I have a hard time putting into words the level of happiness and excitement they are bringing us and our entire family. Audible gasps are heard each time we show these pictures to people. We’re still receiving text messages and phone calls from people...they’re in tears as they are going through the photos of our wedding that Devin & Kathryn took. If you need proof, just visit their website, blog, or Instagram page. I highly recommend Anchor & Veil to anyone looking for wedding (or any event) photographers. You won’t just get a final product that absolutely blows you away...you’ll also receive the Anchor & Veil experience that is two genuinely amazing people that bring incredible amounts of passion into their craft. We are so happy to have found them.

Devin and Kathryn are AMAZING!!!! From start to finish they were great to work with and gave us shots that we couldnt have even dreamed of!!! They really bring the artistic side ...
to their photos and capture the emotion of each moment! They were a little more that we initially wanted to spend, but they are worth every penny. Everyone I talked to said to splurge on the photography because that is the only thing youwill have after the wedding, adn so glad we did! They are AMAZING!!!!!
When I look back on our big day, I can hands down tell you that booking Anchor and Veil was one of the best decisions we made. From beginning to end, I was so impressed with them. ...
When looking for a photographer, I did not know where to begin and had 5 million questions. They were more than willing to answer all of my questions via multiple emails and phone calls until I felt 100% comfortable with moving forward. They are professional, easy to get along with, and simply do beautiful work.
Throughout the months of wedding planning, they checked in on us and also surprised us with multiple gifts in the mail. We received a beautifully wrapped binder in the mail with a great assortment of information for us to look over as well as they even sent us a customized bowl with our soon to be last names on the outside. The bowl was filled with our favorite candies and gifts. We were simply blow away! NO other vendor did anything like this for us.
We had already done our engagement pictures with a friend, and they were willing to work with us and shot our rehearsal dinner pictures instead of doing a second set of engagement pictures. They are truly willing to do whatever it takes to make your big day a success.
Come the day of the wedding, they made my soon to be husband and I so comfortable. It was so apparent that they know exactly what to do in order to get all of the greats shots done in a timely manner. If you are debating on doing a "first look", I highly recommend you do it. It was another decision I am so happy we did because it gave us the chance to get so many pictures that I do not think we would have been able to capture otherwise.
The thing that really sets them apart from any other photographer is what they did at the end of the reception. Devin and Kathryn pulled us aside and gave us yet again another gift. This one brought tears to our eyes...it was a small album with pictures from the wedding! We got to see the shots they took only hours before and the pictures made us speechless. Truly beautiful, timeless pictures. Without any hesitation, I would recommend Anchor and Veil to anyone.
