Shawn is without a doubt the best choice for a wedding videographer in Charleston! We chose to work with him and his team because we loved the sample videos we watched, and our own...
wedding film only exceeded our expectations. He captures every detail in beautiful lighting, and amazing quality, and edits a film that includes the highlights of every moment of your day. Shawn and Justin were so friendly and easy to work with, and we received our film only a month after our wedding date! A wonderful experience from beginning to end.
Look no further! Shawn & Justin saved my wedding night. We endured some unfortunate weather and the video is INCREDIBLE. He kept us in high spirits all night too while the weathe...
r was working against us... he made it all seem easy and fun. He showed me footage on the night of our wedding too and it got me so excited. You will not regret this decision - it is so worth IT! a video and memories you will have forever!!
Our day was absolutely magical and Lowcountry has given us the ability able to relive it whenever we want. They were super great to work with on the day of the wedding. I genuinely...
felt like they were invested in the day and wanted to make sure all of the special moments were captured. They also did this very discreetly as I don't remember seeing them much at all during the ceremony or reception. We would highly recommend booking Lowcountry as your videographer. This is a wonderful investment and the best wedding gift you can give yourself.
Very disappointed with this vendor. Had to reschedule my wedding due to the pandemic and Shawn refuses to refund any money. He is the only vendor we had issues with. He is holding...
on to over $1300 for a wedding that was cancelled. He replies with attitude and says he does not know why we are cancelling the wedding...... hmm what about the global pandemic going on right now and the 150+ guest that I could put at risk?
Do not use this vendor. Very unprofessional.
DO NOT USE THIS VENDOR!!! We had to postpone my daughters wedding due to Covid 19 and our moral obligation to our elderly family and friends. I asked Shawn to refund my deposit o...
f $1,350 as we didn't know when the wedding would be rescheduled.. His response was disturbing to me. He asked me who was making me cancel the wedding. My response: My moral obligation to my family and friends not to expose them to this virus (many whom are elderly and have underlying health issues). He then went on to tell me the deposit would not be refundable because it would cover the cost of writing the quote, writing a contract and setting up a portal. Really Shawn, $1,350 to write a quote and contract which is normally done for a prospective client anyway. Other wedding vendors are refunding our deposits without question. Could have done the right thing knowing what everyone is going through but choose to be greedy. Beware of this vendor.
LowCountry Wedding Films' videos, the main video, the collection, everything, are just beautiful. Remembering the day we engaged y'all, we are so so so thankful we got them on boar...
d before someone else snagged them. Even more than how amazing these videos turned out - working with Jessie and Travis on the 9th, was a joy. They made us feel so comfortable, they worked well with our photographers, and we felt like they were truly part of our wedding guests. For those on the fence about a video vs. no video, we can honestly say you will never regret capturing those moments to share together again, with your guests, with those that could not be there, and to share with your current (and future) family. The videos were executed in a way that captures us as a couple and all the "feels" of our day. We will treasure these for the rest of our lives, and sincerely thank LowCountry Wedding Films for being a part of our day. PS - we loved their work so much, we are having them refine the footage of the full day so we can have it (and of course see the many things we probably missed)!
Without a doubt the most thoughtful, fun, and detailed videographers out there! They were exactly what we wanted and more! We could not be more pleased with our wedding video and k...
now that so much time and effort went into making it! It is the perfect snapshot of our special day and watching it allows us to relive that day over and over. The guys literally ran through the parking lot behind our getaway car just to get the trailing tin cans in the video! They were timely, so easy to work with, and paid attention to each and every detail. I would highly recommend them!!
Shawn & the team at Low Country are amazing at what they do! They made our wedding day so effortlessly fun, while getting some beautifully candid shots. They did beautiful Ariel fo...
otage of the venue and even were able to send us a sneak peek of our film just days after the wedding - which was such a pleasant surprise to receive on our honeymoon. We cannot imagine our special day without this talented videography team!
We highly recommend Lowcountry Wedding Films and loved working with Shawn! The team was very professional, responsive, experienced and a fun addition to our wedding crew. Our wed...
ding day was very rainy and they had no problem strolling around in the rain to get the shots we wanted and they really went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying our day. They were able to capture all the great moments and yet went unnoticed by our friends and family who didn’t realize we had a videographer until they saw the final product. They are extraordinarily talented and did an amazing job creating a film that summarized our day beautifully and exceeded our expectations. I was skeptical that a short film would be worth it but I’m so glad we have this keepsake that captures moments pictures alone can’t quite get, like the speeches and lots of little giggles, big laughs, and some awesome dance moves. Thank you, Lowcountry Wedding Films!
We just got our video back from our wedding and it's perfect! My husband and I loved working with Shawn and his team on our wedding day. Very professional, highly recommend!
First, I want to address the oft-debated decision of whether to get a videographer for your wedding. My wife and I definitely grappled with where to prioritize our budget, and we c...
onsulted many friends who recently planned weddings. After going through the process, we can definitively say that having a videographer was 100% one of our best investments in our wedding day. We couldn’t have been happier to have a permanent memento to share and relive with friends and family over and over again on a day that literally flies by. You spend the money to have an amazing celebration - why not capture all of that on film?
If you’re sold on capturing the big day with video, look no further than Lowcountry Wedding Films (LWF). We were initially drawn to this company because of their beautifully produced highlight films online, but Shawn and his team absolutely blew away our already high expectations. All vendors on your wedding day become partners in putting on this celebration so its important to have good working relationships; LWF were absolute professionals before, during, and after the wedding. Shawn was extremely responsive to all communications, flexible to customize a package for our needs and price point, and generally a pleasure to deal with throughout. The videographer team worked seamlessly with our photographer and wedding planner, and they were so inconspicuous many people didn’t even know they were!
You know you are in good hands with LWF, but you hire them for their videography skill. Their incredible work speaks for itself, so please do yourself a favor and watch the samples. It takes a lot of skill to prepare the set-ups, capture the right shots, and then edit hours and hours of film into beautiful storytelling - LWF is this whole package and more.
One of the things we appreciated about the process was how LWF creatively executed the highlight film. They had us fill out a questionnaire to understand both our general preferences and any of the logistical needs of the day, but then went off into the bat cave without any further instruction and delivered a highlight film that legitimately wowed us beyond anything we could have dreamed; seriously my wife was tearing up as we watched it for the first time… We can’t stop watching our film, and our friends and family can’t stop raving about the day and the highlight film that captured it. Hire LWF and go worry about something else with your wedding planning. You won’t regret having amazing memories captured for a lifetime.
Shawn and Justin are AWESOME!! We completely lucked out with a last minute (read: the month prior to the wedding) request and they were THANKFULLY available. Shawn was super quick ...
to respond and customize a package for our intimate wedding. I was planning everything from afar and he made the process so easy. Then we received the teaser and Instagram video SUPER quick and everyone who has watched it can't stop gushing about how amazing the video turned out. Stop your search now and contact LCWF immediately!! You will not be disappointed!!
Shawn and his team were AMAZING. Great with communication, easy to work with, and on the day of-- just perfect. They arrived early, got tons of great shots and were so helpful. We ...
ordered a sneak peek video and recieved it just five days after our big day. I can't tell you how exciting it was to still be on our honeymoon, but to be able to see things from the big day and share with our friends and family. And the video itself is STUNNING. It made me tear up and it's just 90 seconds long. Friends and family have been raving about it. We are so excited to see our longer video, but I cannot speak highly enough about Shawn and his team.
Shawn & Justin at LCWF are a MUST for your wedding! We already received our first sneak peak video less than 2 weeks after our destination wedding! Shawn & Justin were responsive, ...
professional and made us feel at ease throughout the entire wedding process. They captured every great moment in the film; their work far exceeded our expectations! Their talent & creativity are unmatched…I can’t stop watching our own video! They worked wonderfully as a team with our photographers to really capture the essence of our day. Shawn & Justin we loved working with you! THANK YOU! :)

Shawn did such an incredible job!!! I cannot say enough great things about how the video turned out- I had a destination wedding in charleston two weeks ago and Shawn made it so ea...
sy, I literally did nothing and he showed up and made the video of my dreams! My fiancé and dad were both skeptical about getting a videographer and my dad told me he's watched it 10 times this week and said it was the best decision we made! Highly recommend shawn and low country wedding films to any future brides out there! You won't regret it!:)
Our wedding was a little over a week ago, and we already received our sneak peek video exactly a week from our wedding date! Shawn and his crew were incredible!! I was a little con...
cerned about having two photographers and him and his crew around on the wedding day, worried that it would be intrusive to us or our guests and that could not have been more wrong! Shawn was amazing and did such an incredible job getting amazing shots without being in the way AT ALL!! A few of our guests even said, "wait, you had a videographer there?" which is EXACTLY what we were hoping for! We've all been to weddings where it feels like the videographer is in your face the whole time, and that was not AT ALL the case with Shawn and his crew. He blended right in and did an AMAZING job getting such great shots of everything from the entire day! He was a JOY to work with, and did such an amazing job capturing our special day! We anxiously await our full length video, but judging from the sneak peek, we know it will be PERFECT! He was open to everything I asked him to do, and was sure to capture the moments that were most important to me and my groom on the day of our wedding! He was professional and sweet, and commented on how beautiful our wedding was! The editing in the sneak peek film is amazing and the video makes us cry every time we watch it! Can't recommend Shawn and his crew highly enough, they were amazing!!
I just got my wedding video and I could not wait to get on and give Shawn and his team a review. All I can say is WOW! I am so beyond in love with the work they did. You can see...
that they really take their work to the next level and this is something I get to cherish forever. I could never thank Shawn and his team at Lowcountry Wedding Films enough for giving me this beautiful video, it means the world to me having the most important parts of the day highlighted and the love and emotion felt from this video is amazing. I'm so lucky Shawn didn't give up on me when I proved to be the most unorganized, late responding bride EVER! He handled everything with a great amount of patience and I'm so grateful for that. They were so timely with getting us the teaser and the final wedding video which got to us in half the expected time. Thank you for giving us something that can remind us of how amazing that day actually was.
Shawn and his team did an amazing job! My fiance did not think we needed a videographer, but at the last minute I decided we had to have one. Luckily Shawn was available. I cannot ...
imagine not having this footage. They went above & beyond what I had expected. They were organized, captured every moment & even got drone shots which really highlighted our beautiful venue. If you are on the fence over having a videographer... get one! And if you are deciding on who to use...Lowcountry Wedding Films will not disappoint!
Truly the best in the business! I searched all around the area, and the only one that I found like that I even liked, much less loved, was Lowcountry Wedding Films! No one else eve...
n came close.
I got married in Charleston as a destination wedding with just close family. The wedding was in October 2015 during the great flood of Hurricane Joaquin! But Shawn worked with us the entire day to make sure that we were taken care of no matter what happened. He even helped make sure our ceremony video was ready in time for our reception back home with all of our friends 2 weeks later!
I promise you that you will LOVE your Lowcountry Wedding Film!!!
Shawn and his team are just the best. So professional and so easy to work with! Photography and videography were probably the two things that meant most to me on my wedding day, ...
so they were the things I spent the most research on. I really wanted someone who would "capture the moments" that we would have for a lifetime, and Shawn and his team did just that. Quality of equipment (which they definitely had) is so important to me, but the person behind the camera is just as important. I remember asking Shawn during the day, "wow, these moments happen so quick, how do you do make sure you capture it?". His answer was perfect - lots of practice! They do this all the time and they know they sometimes only have one chance to get the perfect shot or capture the perfect moment, and they know how important that is so they take pride in being really good at what they do and it shows! The wedding day itself has a lot going on and a lot of moving parts, but Shawn and his team made the day so easy and so fun! You definitely want to surround yourself with nice, positive people on your special day and Shawn and his team were just that! Thank you again for capturing our special moments! We loved working with you!
Shawn is awesome! He is very professional and easy going. I would recommended Shawn to anyone seeking a videographer. As a plus his equipment is top of the line .. this empowers yo...
u to receive the best quality footage to last a lifetime :) Shawn can capture the amazing moments that fill a wedding with happiness and transform them into a montage of love filled memories. Thank you Shawn for sharing your talents with the world.
Shawn and his crew were on point for our wedding film. My husband and I absolutely loved our wedding film!!! Initially, we were on the fence about including a wedding videographer ...
in our budget, but it was honestly the best decision we made. We are so happy that we decided to splurge on this extra service! We have zero regrets, and I know this film will be something we'll treasure for years to come. If you're questioning whether or not to spend the money on a wedding videographer, take it from me: It's well worth the money! Trust this team to create a BEAUTIFUL wedding film you'll have to watch and share with your family and friends!
We met with Shawn a year and four months before our destination wedding. I had done my research and watched every video that was posted before our meeting. I cried watching multipl...
e videos and continued to do so each time a new one was posted leading up to our wedding. Shawn and his team were fantastic the day of our wedding. They got footage of my husband and his groomsmen golfing and some of my telling my story of the tiger-stripe burn I got on my arm a few days before. They really captured a lot of personal moments and I cannot wait to see the video that they put together of our special day! I know it will be fantastic!
I hadn't even really considered getting a videographer until I saw their work. Very on top of everything and very thorough in all the preliminary work. I barely even noticed they ...
were there on the day of and can't wait to see the final video.
Best videographer! Did a great job at my wedding and was very accomidating. Would highly recommend to everyone!!!
I cannot tell you how much I hate to see myself on film, but we knew we wanted some way of capturing all the little details from the day. As I sat down to watch the teaser for the ...
first time I was bracing myself and that moment of disgust never hit. LCL has a way of being in the room and working without you even knowing it. I looked natural as well as all the other people in the wedding. The work that Lowcountry Lens created has left me with memories that I would never have had without LCL.
I thought it was great that he allowed me to suggest the music for our teasers and he incorporated the scenes accordingly like they were meant to be together. I cannot tell you how many times throughout the wedding process that you try and explain something to a vendor and they just don't get it, but LCL hit the nail on the head!
THANK YOU SO MUCH LCL!

Shawn and his crew are great! The time and attention to detail is nothing less than amazing. He takes great pride in the product he delivers and it shows!! Poor guy even sat throug...
h me getting my hair and make up done for 2 hours!! Then suffered through the drama of my photographer, and tried to do everything he could to make sure he got the shots she "didn't have time" to do. So they do film and still shots! Amazing!!! The cost is very reasonable for the quality of the product you get, and this is your wedding so you want it to be perfect. Everything goes by so fast, so having a quality video is worth the splurge.
We put so much time and energy into planning this one day I didn't imagine it would be possible to capture it all in our wedding video, but Shawn did. Not only did he capture the ...
events of the day but somehow he managed to capture the mood as well. I cannot recommend Low Country Lens enough!!
Our wedding video is one of the most amazing gifts I could've ever received. I love being able to go back and view the video and remember those small details that were captured on...
our big day. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Angel and Jimi
What can I say?... Because of Shawn's videography, I will always be able to look back and remember every moment of our BIG day...from getting ready to leaving the reception. Shawn ...
was there! He did incredible work! The video speaks for itself! The day goes by so quickly, and the memories are always in the back of our minds; however, with the beautiful video to look back on, our family has a tangible reminder of what a fabulous day we had October 24, 2010. Thank you, Shawn!!!
Shawn was very professional during the entire event and throughout the planning process. I really appreciated that he listened to what I wanted/needed and carried it out when our ...
Big day arrived. The pictures came out perfect, we had some great ones on the beach in addition to some wonderful candids! I would absolutely recommend using Lowcountry Lens!!!!!
Lowcountry Lens is who we picked for our wedding! Let me tell you if you live near North or South Carolina give them a call. The thing that I loved about Lowcountry Lens is not onl...
y were our "special moments" captured perfectly from our day but our personalities as well! Bravo!
What an amazing keepsake! The day goes by so quickly, but thanks to Shawn and his team there wasn't a single overlooked or missed moment. He really did an incredible job of captu...
ring the day and all of our family and friends were impressed by the hollywood-esque quality of the DVD. I HIGHLY recommend Shawn and his team for any event you have - I'd give more than 5 stars if I could!!
Lowcountry Lens captured our entire wedding weekend in a storybook way. Not only were they professional and flawless but their creativity is second to none. From the background mus...
ic to the lighting and editing, we could not have been more pleased. A big thank you to Shawn and his team. We look forward to using them for future events and take great comfort in knowing we are in the best hands.
