Riverland Studios

I decided to choose Riverland Studios, and specifically Cana, to photograph my wedding because of several reasons. After reaching out to the studio for more information, Priscilla, the Studio Manager, was very responsive and helpful. The package offerings fit our needs, and you can even add on options. Cana was an awesome choice as a photographer. She was very friendly and accommodating to the pictures that we really wanted to take. She even rode the trolley with the bridal party! And to top it off, our pictures are BEAUTIFUL! Overall, Riverland Studios offers some of the best options for wedding photography in the Charleston area!

I can't even begin to say how amazing Riverland Studios was at our wedding. Emily and her colleague were AMAZING from start to finish. Emily even met me for coffee a couple months before the wedding to make sure she knew exactly what I was hoping for so she could get everything in her shots. Her personality is awesome and she was in all the right spots for all the right moments. I can't wait to see all the photos come in-we're going to crack open a bottle of wine and look through them all once they do! Thank you thank you thank you Emily and he Riverland Studios team!!

We worked with Emily Baucom from Riverland Studios and I'm sooo happy we did. Emily started way back with engagement photos with us on Folly Beach. She was absolutely amazing - giving us little hints and suggestions and making us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. We brought our two dogs along for the shoot and she even made them look like models. We have so many beautiful shots from our engagement shoot! Emily also photographed my bridal portraits and wow did she make me look great! She's so helpful with directions and poses. She recently photographed our wedding on Magnolia Plantation. We haven't received the pictures yet (we just got married!), but I know they're going Robbie beautiful! Emily is such a wonderful photographer! She's so easy going, but knows exactly how to get the most beautiful shots! She doesn't hesitate to climb on a chair or the bushes! I can't say enough great things about her! I highly recommend her and Riverland Studios for any of your photography needs!

Absolutely loved working with Noni from Riverland Studios for our wedding. She was super attentive, down-to-earth, fun, and professional. I did a lot of research on wedding photography in Charleston and the quality and value of Riverland Studios was unparalleled. Priscilla was very responsive and helped set me up with Noni (who we requested). We loved the natural style of her photography. I found the online portal for payment and questionnaires for the wedding day to be super helpful. On the day of the wedding, we had 7 hours of photography. Noni and Sarah (her assistant) took the more formal photos at White Point Gardens and they were very efficient. We also had Rachel as a second photographer for the reception. Right after our ceremony, we spent about 10 min with Noni and Sarah doing some couples shots next to the venue. I cannot wait to get all the photos back. If you are getting married in Charleston, Riverland Studios should be your pick!

Riverland studios is so great to work with! I was planning my destination wedding in Charleston, and Riverland Studios was one of the most wonderful venues I hired. They are professional and organized. I worked specifically with the photographer, Shannon Noel. All I can say is she is WONDERFUL. On my wedding day, Shannon had taken all of my notes and requests into consideration. She was so professional, and calm. For a woman that felt a little frantic on my wedding day...that ALL went away when Shannon showed up. She is so reassuring. I have gotten so many compliments on my wedding photos. Friends of mine have even told me they love my pictures even more than they love their own wedding photos. I have told so many of my friends who my photographer was because my pictures are so breathtaking. If you want beautiful photos to remember for a lifetime, Riverland Studios will transform your wedding into a fairytale/magazine/flawless event. I can't say enough about how much I loved working with Riverland Studios. Don't look anywhere else! Their photographers and staff will make you feel unique and important.

Book with Riverland. They are professional but very caring about what special details in your wedding you would like photographed. We requested to work with Noni, one of the main photographers on their team, and she did such a phenomenal job. Riverland Studios is a collection of photographers, so look through them and see who's work you like best! We were so happy to get Noni, as she was my now husband and my's first choice. She worked with me through a consultation to find a timeline for photos that fit our budget and made the process a breeze.

I cannot possibly recommend Riverland Studios enough! The owner, Priscilla, is so responsive to e-mails, and she did a wonderful job communicating with throughout our wedding planning process. We chose Emily as our photographer, and we could not have imagined a more perfect person to shoot our wedding day! She is so laid-back and fun to work with, and she made me and my husband feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Our photos turned out beautifully, and I am so happy we chose Riverland to document our special day!

Being a bride that was planning a destination wedding, I was extremely nervous when trying to find a photographer. I looked at many different photographers but Riverland Studios was recommended to me by a previous bride who used my venue. There are truly not enough words to describe how incredible Riverland Studios was. From the second I went to their website, to talking with Priscilla, and working with Cana, it was such a blessing to have found these women to capture my wedding day. Priscilla and Cana were always so attentive with questions and Cana was able to meet with my mom and I when we were in town. Cana was there on our wedding day, had everything planned out to a T, captured every photo I asked for and more for 12 hours, pregnant! She was such a trooper and has a true talent for photography. She did a great job organizing family photos so that we did not waste a ton of time and shot so many pictures during the ceremony and reception without being seen. I highly recommend Cana and the Riverland Studios team, they are amazing!

Absolutely loved working with Riverland Studios! They were such a great help with finding me a photographer that would be perfect for me, and they did! Emily was wonderful to work with and really captured all the moments I wanted!

I had Shannon as my photographer from Riverland Studios and she was amazing!!! She made my husband feel super comfortable taking photos (which he hates doing) and was just a positive energy that contributed to my wedding day and how great it was. Any photos I asked for she would gladly do, and when my groomsmen got a little sidetracked she rolled with it and was a good sport. She picked the best spots at my venue (Dunes West) and knew exactly what she was doing. I would 100% recommend her and the studio as a whole. She is shooting one of my bridesmaids weddings in October and I am so excited to be working with her again!! She also brought a second shooter with her to capture moments in the grooms dressing room and downstairs before I walked out, which are things I didn't even think about. So grateful for her.

Emily was such a joy to work with. She has a great personality and is very laid back, which is great for any bride who is stressed! She has fun and romantic shot ideas and was all over the ceremony and reception snapping photos away. I highly recommend her and Riverland Studios!

We were thrilled with our photos and our photographer, Shannon!!!! Riverland Studios was wonderful to work with and Shannon reached out before-hand to make sure we got to talk about what was important to us. She captured our day beautifully, and really put at us ease in front of the camera. Can't say enough good things!!!

I had an amazing experience working with Riverland Studios!! Shannon photographed both our engagement photos and our wedding! Shannon is as personable as she is talented! She was incredibly receptive to what we wanted and so easy to work with! The studio itself was extremely professional and organized. The used an online client portal for payments, communication, and ordering prints that made everything seamless. Both our wedding photos and engagement photos are incredible, people say it looks a magazine shoot. Throughout my experience working with them, they included special touches that showed that client satisfaction was one of their highest priorities, from sending a small gift to making sure I had enough time with my second shooter. I would highly recommend Riverland Studios and Shannon.

I put my best friend - a professional wedding photographer - to the task of selecting not only a wedding photography studio, but also a wedding photographer from that studio. She considered price point, but mainly focused on their portfolios because the images captured on your wedding day are priceless. Both of the portfolios she selected were from Riverland Studio and her top choice was Cana from Riverland. I'm happy to say that Riverland and Cana did not disappoint. We had a beautiful day celebrating our wedding with an intimate guest list. Cana captured us and our family/friends beautifully. We will cherish our wedding photos! I'm very happy with the professionalism of the studio as well. In the planning and payment process I had several questions and I always received a helpful, sweet and prompt response from Priscilla - their Studio Manager.

We worked with Amanda for a 2 hour engagement session at Boone Hall, and she was so fun! She had her work cut out for her-- neither of us are really crazy about being photographed-- but she made it such an enjoyable experience. Just got our sneak-peek today (1 week after our shoot) and they look awesome! Worth every penny. Book with Riverland!!!

Haley and the team at Riverland Studios were great to work with! My hair piece fell out right before the ceremony and Haley went above and beyond to help me get it back in place and looking good! We just had a small, family-only ceremony downtown, and Haley felt like part of the family by the end of the shoot. My husband and I looked at multiple photography studios before deciding on Riverland (by the recommendation of a friend who also used them) because of their price and the quality of their work.

Emily Baucom was my photographer and she knocked it out of the park! I couldn't be happier with my pictures and editing. She was seamless, easygoing, friendly and as the pictures prove, a true natural talent when it comes to capturing a moment and a mood. I told her what types of shots I did and didn't want and she got it to a tee without being told twice. I highly recommend going with Riverland for the product and the pricing. Here is a blog post of the pics - http://www.theweddingrow.com/andi-hub-mingo-point/ I'll let you be the judge.

We are so thankful for Riverland Studios and the wonderfully talented Emily! Our wedding photos are beautiful and timeless, and she made everyone so comfortable in front of the camera!

Book right now!!! This studio is top notch. We chose Sarah as our photographer and cannot say enough kind things about her. Not only are her photos AMAZING - she is also and incredible person just to be around. Each photographer has their own style of shooting and Sarah's " capture the moment, not make the moment" approach is just what we were looking for. Our pictures are all filled with laughter and they ooze happiness. Kudos to Noni for being a fabulous editor!! She does not overlook a single detail when editing your photos. Thank you ladies!!!!

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Riverland Studios! I was planning a Charleston wedding from Philadelphia, so I had to put A LOT of trust in the people I was working with. Not only was Priscilla (Studio Manager) a pleasure to work with, but she was willing to customize our package as we weren't having the full 5 hour wedding. Ironically, that was really difficult to find! Our day-of photographer Bridgit was the BIGGEST joy! We are literally laughing in every single one of our pictures, and it's all thanks to her and the environment she created for us. Everything that was stated in her biography held true. Again, I cannot say enough about my experience with Riverland. I have been getting rave reviews about my pictures and all my Northern friends are upset they can't use your services! THANK YOU!!!

It was a joy and a pleasure having Cana of Riverland Studios shoot our wedding! She worked within the parameters of our church and made a special stop for some outdoor pictures of just the bride and groom prior to the reception. The outdoor pictures are stunning. Her use of the early evening sun, the flowers and trees, were my favorite pictures of the day! Thank you for capturing our day perfectly.

Shannon Holton did a fantastic job at capturing all the special moments of our big day. Shannon was so fun and really cared about what we wanted out of the photos. She always had a smile on her face and made me feel more like a friend, rather than a client. The pictures are unreal and we had such a great, professional experience with the whole team at Riverland Studios. We could not be more grateful!

Brittany did a fabulous job as our wedding photographer!! She was incredibly responsive throughout our wedding planning- I was able to work with her months before our wedding to create a "shot list" of different types of pictures we wanted to get during our wedding and Brittany provided such helpful feedback. Our wedding pictures turned out absolutely gorgeous!!! Riverland Studios was a pleasure to work with and I would strongly recommend them to any soon-to-be Charleston bride who is looking for great wedding photographers.

Working with Jeanne from Riverland Studios on our wedding day was fantastic! She listened to our vision for what we wanted in our wedding photos, and she delivered beyond our expectations! We absolutely love our wedding photos!!! We would highly recommend this team!

Shannon Holton with Riverland Studios perfectly captured our wedding day. She was such a joy to work with and I could not have asked for a better photographer! Even dealing with freezing temps, rain, and high winds, Shannon kept her cool which helped keep me calm. And the pictures turned out AMAZING!! Not only did it look like a sunny warm day, but Shannon captured all of the high points of the evening and how much fun our guest had. The first time I reviewed the pictures, I teared up because it brought me right back the to wedding and reminded me how special the day was. Since the wedding, Riverland has been so easy to work with. I love the preview they send and post on their blog shortly following the wedding. And ordering prints is very easy. If you are getting married in Charleston, call Riverland and Shannon!! Thank you!!

When we were looking for a photographer, we were looking for a company that wouldn't break the bank but would provide outstanding service and quality. My wedding planner (Sage Innovations) recommended Riverland Studios and we couldn't have been happier with them. One look at Brooke's portfolio and I was sold! They made the whole process very easy; I could keep track of my payments online and they even sent a little survey prior to the wedding so they could get all of the details in an organized manner (bridal party, names, family members, shots we wanted, etc). Brooke called me a few weeks before to talk through everything so she could be ready to go the day of. After a very successful wedding day full of photos, my husband and I received the final photos and are thrilled. She captured my vision perfectly and I cry every time I look at them! Thanks Brooke and the entire Riverland Studios team for making our day last a lifetime!

Our photograher with Riverland Studios, Brittany, has a creative and unique eye for her surroundings. She is extremely talented. While planning, she listened to my thoughts on the aesthetic of the wedding overall (which was extremely important to me) and the style of photography we were looking for and was able to execute perfectly! She was patient, positive and easy going the entire day and was so kind to stay a few minutes extra when we were running behind. Riverland Studios was professional, organized, communicative and responsive throughout the process. They were one of my favorite and easiest aspects of planning a wedding - no small feat! Thank you so much for a great experience Brittany and Riverland!

I absolutely loved working with Riverland Studios! They were professional, flexible, and SO creative! Shannon was a dream to work with. My husband is a little camera shy, and somehow Shannon managed to capture so much of his personality in our engagement and wedding day photos. She captured a beautiful mix of traditional posed pictures and fun candids throughout every moment of the day. I was smiling ear-to-ear reliving each moment. Also, turn-around time to get images was very quick. Highest recommendation! :)

I worked with Cana and she did a wonderful job. She was very sweet and would take my input to the pictures as well. A breeze to work with!

The whole team is AWESOME! Our photos captured the entire day - not just the details and the people, but the sentiment - it was amazing! Thank you Shannon for being our awesome photographer and thank you to Morgan for being our videographer....we got so many incredible pictures but still got to enjoy every minute. The team was so easy to work with before the wedding - I felt like I know Shannon and Morgan (and Mat) before I ever met them. My package was for 8 hours of coverage, plus two hours for an extra shooter and a videographer...we were on a budget but you would never know from what Riverland Studios created! I would recommend them to anyone getting married in the Upstate - I was a destination bride and they were one of the best decisions I could have made - aside from the great team, their payment system and contracts could not have been easier to navigate, so thank you for making that part easy and stress free.

Our experience with Riverland Studios was optimum from start to finish. Upon contacting them for services, Mat, the Studio Manager, helped us select our photographer for the event. We loved Brooke's bio and portfolio, she seemed like the perfect fit to photograph our wedding. We met with Brooke a few months before our big day, and she was so sweet and was very knowledgable with the whole process. As a first time bride, she really put my mind at ease because I knew she would have a schedule to get all the shots we wanted. Riverland Studios also impressed us with the thoroughness in their process. They occasionally sent us questionnaires that got all the information they needed from us in order for them to capture all the important people and moments on our wedding day. The questionnaires were spread out well enough so that it did not seem overwhelming to fill them out. When our wedding day finally arrived, Brooke had arrived early to scope out great locations for our shots, and was even early to meet with us to get started! Things of course were already a bit hectic with all of the girls and guys getting ready, and Brooke sensed she needed to take charge to get everyone where they needed to be for her shots. We went to two locations before our ceremony to take photos, and it was all due to Brooke keeping everyone moving and on schedule that we were able to make it to our ceremony on time! She was so polite while doing her job and you could tell how much she loved it because she would get so excited when she got a great shot! She did her job so well that she was noticeable when she needed to be but faded into the crowd when she didn't need to be. My dad even mentioned to me that he didn't even notice her during the ceremony and reception - he was shocked that she got all the shots that she did because he barely even saw her! Overall I would definitely recommend Brooke and Riverland Studios to anyone because our shots turned out phenomenally!

I absolutely loved our wedding photographer!!! Our pictures turned out so beautiful thanks to Shannon!!! She is so talented and really made sure that she knew what we wanted before the wedding so that she was able to capture what was most important to us. I could not be happier with Riverland Studios- they are a great team to work with:)

Shannon and Emily with Riverland were wonderful to work with! They understood our style and were so fun. They made both of us feel comfortable and at ease. We got married outside at our family's plantation, so there were certain pictures we definitely didn't want to miss-Shannon made sure we got those special pictures. They were so professional and we will forever cherish our special pictures!

Riverland is a great company and Shannon was our photographer and she was completely fantastic! Riverland offers great wedding photo packages that are reasonably priced and they are very flexible and accommodating. We took pictures with Shannon all over the Magnolia Gardens property and she was so wonderful and happy to work with. She was professional, accommodating, and great with all of our guests. I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Shannon and Riverland as an overall business. The pictures are beautiful that I am going to be keeping forever.

Riverland Studios is excellent value for money. We were shocked at how quick and painless the photography process was on our wedding day. Jeanne and her assistant were personable and fun to be around. At the reception, we even forgot they were there! Most importantly, they captured all of the photos we were hoping to get and more. We could not be more pleased that we hired Riverland to photograph our wedding!

I loved loved loved every moment of my experience with Riverland Studios. Our photographer was Jeanne Mitchum and she was just excellent. Riverland is an affordable option for photography, but does not lack any quality. Our pictures including engagements, bridals, and the wedding were all so beautiful and captured every moment just as it was; unforgettable! Between the amazing photographers and the quality care from the business owners, my experience with them could not have been better. They also provide a print release and a USB with all of your photos plus ordering of prints through them at a great cost to you. I 100% recommend Riverland Studios!

Riverland Studios was a great choice for our wedding photographer! We had 2 photographers hired for our big day (Priscilla and Lucy) and they were both professional and fun! Priscilla met with me several times to be sure she understood exactly what I wanted and expected. The photos turned out beautiful and I am extremely pleased!!!! I highly recommend Riverland's servics

From the beginning, Riverland Studios was a dream come true. Their services and costs are outlined in incredible detail on their website--which cannot be said at all of most studios--and they offered incredible flexibility beyond block-packages. The photographers' pages and portfolios on their website allowed us to explore the various photography styles available in great depth and while they were all exceptional, Shannon's portfolio stood out in particular. After looking at probably two dozen portfolios before coming across the Riverland Studios crew, the fact that the subjects of Shannon's pictures all appeared comfortable, natural, and happy really stood out to us. Sure enough, she put me completely at ease during my portrait session, for which I had been quite nervous. While there certainly is a posed element to wedding photos, especially the formal group shots, Shannon engaged our wedding party in such a way that everyone really could just be themselves. The expressions and reactions are genuine. There's nothing stiff or awkward about any of them. We are all so happy with the final products, which were delivered to us very soon after the wedding on a flash drive, with files in high resolution for printing and low resolution for posting on social media. I greatly prefer this to just ordering prints because we have more flexibility to decide which prints we want while still having the files for viewing pleasure. Beyond the value and quality of their products, the staff at Riverland couldn't be nicer or more helpful. Mat must have answered several hours worth of questions I had along the way and was always eager to do so; Lucy kept me in the loop on the progress of the editing and proofing; and Shannon has to be one of the kindest individuals I've ever had the pleasure to meet. She's hard-working, organized, compassionate, and sincere. Her passion and enthusiasm for her work is evident in every interaction and working with her was a joy throughout.

Working with Riverland was amazing! Our photographer, Caroline, was such a blast to work with and did an AWESOME job on our photos. She was able to handle all of our silly requests and had a creative touch to add to all of our photos. I would use them over and over again!

I chose Shannon with Riverland Studios as my wedding photographer and was so happy with my choice. She was extremely professional and most of all sweet and wonderful to work with. My family and friends even commented on how great she was. The pictures turned out wonderful and I would recommend her to anyone.

Riverland Studios is the best! We worked with Caroline Howard. She is very professional, worked with our every need, and was very responsive. She made us feel at ease during our photo sessions, engagement and wedding. They were able to capture the joy and fun of the whole event.

After interviewing numerous photographers a friend recommended Riverland Studio’s in Charleston and I’m so glad they did! I checked out their website, spoke with Mat and instantly knew that was it. We decided to go with Marylou based on her experience and photography style. Our first time meeting was for our engagement photos and we knew instantly that we had made the right choice. Marylou takes amazing photographs but her eye for a perfect backdrop is what really impressed me. Every shoot, engagement, bridals, and the wedding were absolutely gorgeous! She was able to capture all the traditional moments that we wanted to remember while still keeping with the overall artistic feel I really loved. Throughout the whole experience we were in constant contact making sure we were always on the same page. We even created a pinterest board which really helped with the must have photos. Riverland Studios handled all the editing and did a fantastic job! They provided me with a sneak peak of each session before all the photos were ready which I really appreciated. Waiting weeks for photos is tough so the sneak peak was a really big hit for my family and me. Mat and the whole team made the experience as painless and enjoyable as possible. I highly recommend Marylou and Riverland Studios!

Riverland Studio is awesome! Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Professional, fun, and easy to work with. Jennings shot our wedding and was a.m.a.z.i.n.g!!! Couldn't have asked for someone to make us feel more comfortable (we only met her the morning of our wedding because we live out of state!!). She pulled us aside quickly to snap a few pictures while the sunset was perfect. She was really fast and organized with the family group shots. She captured the most perfect candid moments that literally brought me to tears after receiving our pictures a few weeks after the wedding. Everyone on the Riverland team is great and I would recommend the studio in a heartbeat!

Finding a fantastic photographer was a must have for our wedding and we couldn't be happier with our experience with Riverland Studios. The price and the service were great. Everyone that we were in contact with at the studio was polite and professional. Caroline was our photographer and she's simply fantastic. We were on the same page the entire time which made the process so much easier. She did a great job at capturing our special day, our pictures are beautiful!

Riverland Studio was very professional and played a major role in making our day so special for us. Jeanne was able to capture some moments that will last a lifetime. Jeanne was a delight to work with and knew exactly what we were looking for in our pictures. We received the photos in a very timely manner as. Great quality and the editing team with very attentive to all of our needs/wishes.

Literally everything about this company is fantastic! Great prices, great photographers, awesome attitudes they are just overall a great studio. I only had one photographer at my wedding, Shannon, and she was great. She has a lot of skill and is really easy to work with she listens well to what the bride/groom, and family wants and makes great compromises. She even gave us a few extra minutes of time and caught our cake cutting, and eating and some dancing. The quality of the photos are really great! I love all of my photos and wish I could have taken more.

We used Shannon from Riverland Studios are our photographer and she did a fantastic job. Both my husband and I are not ones to enjoy having our picture taken, but Shannon made the entire process easy and comfortable. Post-wedding, the editing was done quickly and beautifully, and the management staff has been more than helpful with any questions we had have. I would highly recommend this company to anyone in the Charleston area!

We used Caroline from Riverland Studios and she was terrific. We met a few weeks before the wedding and were on the same page as to what we all wanted. She was so easy and fun to work with on the wedding day, we felt natural and had fun with the pictures. We just received a sneak peek of some of the photos and we couldn't be happier with how they turned out. Riverland Studios also has great customer service and they were always prompt in answering any questions I had prior to booking them.

Mat, the owner, is very courteous and responsive. They do an awesome job of trying to get to know you and your fiance as a couple during the planning process. Our actual photographer was Shannon, and she was so professional, but also very fun. She kept us very relaxed. Value is exceptional. No extra hidden fees to get your photos like a lot of higher priced studios.
