Carrie-Anne was an absolute gem of a photographer, and we feel so lucky to have had her capture our wedding at Middleton Place. From the moment she arrived, she brought an incredib...
le sense of calm, warmth, and professionalism to the day. Despite the intense heat and humidity (it was truly sweltering!), she never missed a beat. She kept things moving smoothly, helped us stay on schedule, and somehow made it all feel effortless.
Carrie-Anne has a gift for making people feel comfortable in front of the camera—whether it was wrangling our big families for portraits or capturing quiet, intimate moments between the two of us, she did it all with grace and good humor. We especially appreciated how she balanced giving gentle direction when needed, while also allowing space for natural, candid moments to unfold.
The photos she delivered are absolutely stunning—timeless, romantic, and full of life. She captured not just how everything looked, but how it felt. Every time we look at them, we’re transported right back to that day.
We truly can’t recommend Carrie-Anne highly enough!
1000 stars!!! I chose Carrie-Anne after seeing pictures she had taken at our same venue. The pictures were stunning and I was so excited to have her for our day. I didn’t actually ...
meet with Carrie-Anne til we had our planning call a few weeks before the wedding and she was the most lovely, kind, easy person to speak with. On the day, she had amazing energy and all my family and friends loved her. Now, 3 days after our wedding we just received our sneak peaks (74 photos) and they’re everything I wanted!! The photos are absolutely gorgeous, and she captured the vibe of the wedding so well. I can’t wait to see the full portfolio!! Carrie-Anne is amazing, I would recommend her 10/10 times!
Carrie was absolutely excellent as our daughter’s wedding photographer! She captured every moment of the day with incredible skill and artistry, all while keeping up with the fast ...
pace of a traditional Mexican wedding. From lively cultural traditions to heartfelt family moments, she never missed a beat. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and warm personality made her an absolute joy to work with. She truly went above and beyond to ensure that every important moment was documented beautifully. We couldn’t be happier with the results and will treasure these photos forever. If you’re looking for a talented photographer who can handle any challenge with grace and enthusiasm, we wholeheartedly recommend Carrie!

er! I wish that I could relive our wedding day over and over again. Every detail from the tableware to DJ & Photography were exactly what we were looking for. Linda was a joy to work with and poured a lot of love and dedication into helping us. There is no way that we could have planned our wedding without her by our side. Our photographer was Christi and the photos that we have received back were absolutely gorgeous. She was so kind to work with and was a really sweet & genuine person. Anna, our day of planner was the same. She was so detail oriented and easy to work with. They definitely made our day stress-free. Our DJ, Davis, had the dance floor crowded and energetic the entire night. His ability to read the room and give the crowd what they’re looking for is unmatched! Plus, he really knows how to balance fun and professionalism!
Overall, I 12/10 recommend Pinnacle Weddings.
We had a September wedding in Charleston and
Pinnacle weddings did a fantastic job on our
wedding photography. We had a two hour portrait session around Charleston before our cerem...
ony. Christi, our photographer, was very organized, thorough and was easy to communicate with. We held calls before the day of the wedding to ensure Christi was a good fit and to create a perfect and logistically reasonable itinerary. Christi coordinated effectively with my other vendors to
ensure we were on time.
Her execution was fantastic. We were able to get
great shots around Charleston and remained
within our time restraints. She thoughtfully helped me manage my wedding dress through downtown Charleston. Christi beautifully captured all of the special moments of our wedding. 2 days after our wedding, Christi provided more Sneak Peak pictures than I expected. She provided our portfolio in accordance with the expectations she set.
The photography prices were reasonable compared to other vendors in the area. I would recommend Christi to anyone who is going to have a wedding in Charleston. Thanks Christi and Linda for your services!
Christi, our photographer, was AMAZING! 10/10 recommend!
Linda introduced us to her wonderful team and we were beyond happy on our wedding day. We used Pinnacle's "Month of" planning package and worked with Sabrina. Sabrina was great to ...
work with and followed up on all of our requests. We were also paired with Pinnacle's DJ, Taylor and photographer, Christi. DJ Taylor was SO much fun! He kept our party going and even jumped in the pool with our guests at the end of the night!! Christi was amazing. She nailed our photo inspo and was so funny, getting us to laugh, and be comfortable in our more intimate photos. Not to mention this was all perfect after a hurricane scare that canceled our rehearsal dinner. Power was restored 45 minutes before our ceremony started and Pinnacle came through 110%
I cannot recommend Pinnacle Weddings Team enough for your wedding. We used all three services, DJ, Month-Of Coordinating, and Photography from Pinnacle and it was IDEAL. Everyone p...
art of Pinnacle Weddings is fantastic and using the whole team was so seamless as everyone has worked together countless times and know how each other operate. I'd also like to add that we got married the day after Hurricane Ian passed through Charleston and they 100% had it all under control which gave me so much peace as a bride gearing up for a hurricane.
Carrie was our Coordinator and she is absolutely fantastic. Every meeting with Carrie, I felt instantly more relieved and excited for our big day. She had everything under control throughout the entire process and she thought of all the details I would have completely missed. Carrie made sure our timeline maximized the things we valued most on our day, while also making sure the day didn't feel to rushed or chaotic. On our wedding day, Carrie was the perfect person to have running the show as she was so attentive to all the details we had discussed. Carrie met with us when I was afraid things might have to change a lot during the hurricane, but she made sure that our wedding could go perfectly as planned despite having to pivot just a little bit due to the weather changes. Our wedding day was a total DREAM and was truly the best day of our lives.
James was our photographer and he is EXCELLENT. James is the perfect person to have as your photographer as he has an eye for cool shots/scenery/lighting, and he is extremely professional and organized which is needed to get family members and bridal party arranged for the numerous photos that happen throughout the day. James takes all the photos you need without it feeling stressful or rushed. He is so good at capturing authentic moments. We weren't sure what would happen with our photos after the hurricane due to all the brush/debris on the ground but James found the perfect spot near our venue to take group photos and they are stunning. He even sent us sneak peek photos the morning after our wedding which was SUCH a treat to see!! We can't wait to see the rest of the photos!
We absolutely loved having Davis DJ our wedding reception! He did a fantastic job throughout the whole evening. He was so organized, professional, easy and fun to to work with! He did a great job of making the vibe progress flawlessly from jazzy cocktail hour to fun oldies during dinner to the most fun dance party later in the night! I loved how he mixed songs and kept it super fun and engaging the entire night. Our dance floor was PACKED in the best way and everyone was having a great time. Davis also did a great job with all the announcements and introductions throughout the evening!
All of this to say, you must use Pinnacle for your wedding!!! They are simply the best! :)
Carrie at Pinnacle Weddings did our photography and was amazing to work with. Carrie took the time to listen and work with us on how and who we wanted pictures of. We set on our ...
timeline when to take the photos and Carrie was great with our guests. She was their though out the event taking photos and you would of not of known she was even doing it. She did an amazing job. Providing us with a sneak peek almost right away. Carrie did an amazing job!
Christi is AMAZING! We love her and cannot recommend her enough!
She was the perfect presence that I needed help n my day! She made things perfect. Not only was she so sweet, but ...
she was so helpful in so many different aspects!
She talked with me before the wedding in detail to be sure that she could capture everything that I wanted (and did not want). She spent time getting to know me, and learning what I liked/ what was important to me. It truly made all the difference to my ease and stress level as a bride!
She deserves an award for braving the extreme summer heat of my wedding to capture the most beautiful pictures! We’ve seen the sneak peaks, and can’t wait to see more! She even shared a dance with me when I pulled her onto the dance floor! She felt more like enjoying the day with a friend, rather than having a photographer taking my picture. She is such a sweet soul! I absolutely loved spending time with her, and I’m blown away by her beautiful work! The photos are stunning!
We cannot recommend Christi and the Pinnacle Team enough! They are great!
Christi from the Pinnacle team was an amazing photographer to work with! Being from Illinois, we weren’t able to meet her prior to our wedding day, but that was no issue. My husban...
d and I felt completely comfortable with her all day! I had a couple unique requests for photo ideas, and she made those happen and they turned out amazing! I’m absolutely obsessed with the “sneak peak” photos and can’t wait to see the rest!
I absolutely loved working with Christi from Pinnacle Weddings! We hired her for both our engagement photos and wedding photos and she did such an amazing job, especially given the...
fact that my husband absolutely HATES getting his picture taken! She was so much fun to work with, such a good sport, and was amazingly able to get us both to loosen up and get some great, natural looking shots. We certainly didn't make it easy for her but everything about our pictures has turned out perfectly - the locations she took us, the lighting, the angles and poses, the shots, etc. She perfectly captured our special day and engagement and I cannot recommend her enough! Another huge bonus was her getting us sneak peak photos and engagement photos so quickly!!
Thank goodness for Todd and Angela!! They were such a great photography team. They captured beautiful moments and directed us in a very relatable, helpful way! My husband and I are...
not super comfortable in front of the camera, but thanks to this photography team you cannot tell in the photos! They captured us beautifully and I’m so grateful to have these to remember such a beautiful day.
I don't know where to start. Linda and her daughter Amy were the best wedding planners I could ask for. The made sure everything was set up correctly and everything went smoothly. ...
Any request I had they made sure it was fixed in a prompt manner they're the best. Now my photographer Christi, she's awesome. Not only did she take phenomenal pictures, but she's a great person when even gave some of my bridesmaids a ride to the venue. I'm not photogenic at all but she told me exactly what to do, where to look, and how to positions myself. The few photos I did see took my breath away. Trust me when I say, these are the people you want to help plan your wedding. Also DJ Cam, BEST DJ IN CHARLESTON. He kept us moving all night and played all the songs I wanted to hear. Amazing team, and great people
Christi from Pinnacle was PHENOMENAL! She is the real deal! A true professional. She listened to our needs and desires, but most importantly captured some moments that I didn't...
even realize I would want and adore! I wouldn't do another event without her!!
I had a great experience with Pinnacle for my wedding at Wild Dunes in September 2021. I used month-of planning with Tomi, photography with Christi, and DJ services with Taylor.
T...
omi was so detail-oriented and made my day worry-free. She put her all into our event and made it seamless.
Christi captured our happiness and we are incredibly happy with our photos. I feel I am not photogenic and not comfortable in front of a camera, but she made me feel so comfortable and I love how I look!
Taylor was amazing and really created a fun atmosphere from the start. He involved my step-son so well and was really interactive with everyone. He went above and beyond and everyone was complimentary of our DJ choice.
In addition, Linda from Pinnacle was extremely responsive and so helpful through the whole process.
We could not have asked for a better wedding, and Pinnacle made it happen!
We hired Pinnacle Weddings for wedding planning, photography and DJ services and were blown away with their entire team! Christi was our photographer and was great to work with. S...
he is very easy to get along with and makes taking pictures easy. As someone who does not love to get my picture taken I never felt uncomfortable with Christi and her second shooter who was awesome. The quality of the pictures is amazing and we are very happy with how everything has come out! When we met with Christi we discussed what pictures were most important to us and also setup a timeline throughout the day so we got all of the detail shots, first look, bridal party photos, family photos and more. Christi was very accommodating and made sure we got all of the pictures we wanted. Thank you Christi and the Pinnacle team for a great wedding!
Christi Porter was our wedding photographer and she was so great! We were nervous about getting the professional shots done because we had never done anything like that before, and...
felt like we were going to be awkward. Christi gave us the confidence we needed and took some amazing shots! We were laughing the whole time working with her and she is great at making you feel comfortable and beautiful! Would highly recommend to anyone.
Helped make my big day much less stressful! Appreciate everything she did the day of the wedding and for some of the plans/details leading to the wedding.
For me as a bride, one of the most important details for me was the photography from our wedding. We decided not to capture video, so all I can rely on for memories are our photogr...
aphs! I can't thank Todd and Angela from Pinnacle Photography enough for all they both did to capture our wedding in October! They both were so lovely to work with, and made photos an absolute breeze - and a joy! (How often is that the case?)! Their chemistry as a duo brought levity, humor and ease to our wedding photography. It truly was a breeze of an experience, and the photos have turned out even better than I had dreamed, as a bride. I can't give them enough stars - I would recommend them to my nearest and dearest for any photography needs. I am so grateful to all they did to support our wedding, and to contributing even to making our special day as happy and memorable as it was.
Linda is the head wedding planner at Pinnacle & she did an outstanding job!! She was the day corrdinator for my wedding. Pinnacle has any easy timeline system they use to help you ...
schedule your wedding day. She was professional, hardworking and effective!! Highly recommended!!

ner LINDA WARNER.
I began my internet search one warm May morning close to 10 months before my daughter’s wedding date.I started with The Knot, as thats where my google search sent me and I was suddenly faced with lots of choices and so it began ! Pinnacle came highly rated with choices for music, decor, lighting and THE PLANNER !!!! I read reviews and over and over bride’s and MOB’s ( you’ll get the lingo 😉) raved about Linda and her fabulous organization and support -just what I was searching for ! I emailed the owner of Pinnacle ( Stuart ) and he emailed me back immediately and he was eager to help me get the proverbial wedding planning ball rolling .He welcomed me to Pinnacle and assured me that I had come to the right place to ease my wedding planning fears.I explained how his Planner Linda Warner had been so highly touted on his site and on The Knot.He explained the packages I could get with her and how happy he knew I would be with her by my side.I was planning my daughter’s wedding from almost 500 miles away.He She was available for Day Of wedding or Enhanced Day Of .I was a little confused about what I would need but I knew I needed help ! I ended up purchasing the Enhanced package as the scope of the wedding details certainly called for that.That also buys me an asst for Linda which was a MUST in the preparation of the wedding day.
Linda called me and introduced herself and comforted me by saying we have plenty of time for prep and discussions and that she’d be with me every step of the way -and if this is your first wedding -these words soothed my jitters.Linda stayed in touch and talked with me about the Planning website which helps her to keep up to date on decisions that we made concerning wedding bookings ,etc and financials !
We finally met Linda face to face at our venue and she was as charming in person as she seemed on our numerous telephone conversations.She was quick to advise us of things to remember to do but BEST of all she LISTENS !!!! She encouraged us to tell her OUR vision and how she would be there to see it through.She carefully organized our wedding weekend timeline and coordinated all the vendors we hired.The photographer,the videographer,florist,the DJ , the Trolley drivers,the lighting specialists,the Club and catering and on and on ! And by the way ,her reputation preceded her because most of them have worked with her before and they all LOVE HER ! She’s professional,kind,knowledgeable and fun.The wedding weekend has come and gone and it was beyond what we ever imagined.The evening was beautiful and I could enjoy my bride,her groom and my guests because Linda was behind the scene making it all flow like clockwork.Im thankful for Pinnacle and mostly for Linda Warner who is now someone whom I consider a good friend ❤️
If you are looking for a DJ then look no further! Mikey was the best! He was outgoing and friendly to all of our guests. He put a wonderful assortment of music together to keep o...
ur guests out on the dance floor!
Linda was wonderful with filling in as our planner, rather last minute! We Facetimed with her, as we were planning our wedding remotely, to fill her in on our wedding vision, and ...
she followed through with everything. The timeline for the day of the wedding flowed beautifully, and we had time to squeeze first look photos in as a special location before heading to the venue. We loved her leadership, sense of humor, and support!
We used Pinnacle for our wedding planner and DJ. Our DJ Mikey Lee was ABSOLUTELY amazing! We were so happy with the outcome. He spoke with us a couple of weeks before our wedding ...
to clarify all the details and did not disappoint. He was engaging, accommodating, fun, communicative, and very responsive to the crowd. He even put together a short video that captured our wedding perfectly. We highly recommend him!!!
Mikey is amazing! He was spunky and had all the music our guest requested. I told him I was wearing my sneakers to dance all night at my wedding. He made sure the music matched the...
atmosphere. At the ceremony he had everything perfect, I told him I was not doing traditional music. He helped me make sure the ceremony was the way I wanted. Thank you!
We booked Pinnacle for DJ services for our wedding December 8th, 2018. Nothing personal against the guy we were assigned at all. (I'm not going to give specific names because that ...
is irrelevant.) He was very nice & polite the entire night. He showed up on time and had a great quality wireless mic for speeches and had an audio output for recording as well (this is very important if you have a videographer).
One of the issues we had was when it came to transitions - it is always the DJ's job to fill in the transitions between entrances to the reception, first dances, dinner, speeches and dancing and never allow for there to be awkward silence between the moments. There were a lot of moments of awkward silence. He was provided a very detailed timeline from our wedding planner and knew when every moment was to happen.
Aside from the awkward silence a DJ is not a DJ unless he can mix music. Mixing music is a way to go from one song to the next without an abrupt ending or hard transition from one song to the next. We might as well have had a friend on the AUX because there were nothing but hard transitions between every song. NO MIXING WHATSOEVER HAPPENED THAT NIGHT. Mixing of music is one of the only things that separate a DJ from an average Spotify user these days and having someone who could mix was the entire reason we hired a DJ in the first place.
There were several times throughout the night when the older ladies would all be on the dance floor dancing to an older song and immediately it would switch to a modern day pop song. Tending to the crowd on the dance floor for song choice was something that did not happen.
And lastly, there were several break up songs played throughout the night. (ex.) bruno mars - When I Was Your Man was playing during dinner and a groomsmen had to go tell the DJ to change the song.
All in all, Pinnacle did NOT ruin our wedding day. Our wedding was still perfect and we appreciated each and every moment that happened throughout the entire night. I understand that this company uses several different DJ's who are all individually talented, however, we would never recommend Pinnacle DJ services because of the "DJ" we received.
Positives:
Good Attitude
On time
Clear audio
Audio Out for Videography
Negatives:
No music was mixed
Break up songs
Lots of awkward silence
We used Pinnacle for our Wedding planning, photography and DJ and they were AMAZING!! Our engagement photos and wedding photos were exactly what we wanted. The photographer (Peter...
) listened to all of our requests and took tons of details shots and photos of the reception which turned out amazing! We had Nicki as our planner and i literally could not have done it without her! From the very beginning of the planning process she answered my countless emails and kept me on schedule every step of the way booking vendors and finalizing details. I did not have to worry about ANYTHING the day of the wedding except having a good time getting ready with my bridesmaids. She had everything on the day of handled and set up perfectly even down to the very minor details i asked for. If you are going back and forth about getting a planner I promise it is worth it to have someone like Nicki!!
In all honesty, we are surprised with how involved our "partial" planner was for our wedding. They shared their excitement, attention to detail, and advice making it seem like thi...
s wedding was the only one on their minds. The planners are truly passionate in bringing you the day that you tried all these months and years to imagine. We cannot thank Pinnacle enough for being our guiding light throughout this entire journey into a beautiful marriage!
