Riverland Studios

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!

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!!

ing 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!

graphy 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!

sional 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.

hotographers 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.

ing 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!

as 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!

with and really captured all the moments I wanted!

ve 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.

over the ceremony and reception snapping photos away. I highly recommend her and Riverland Studios!

t 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!!!

ncredibly 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.

onsidered 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.

- 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!!!

d 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.

rove, 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.

era!

redible 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!!!!

s 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!!!

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.

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!

eate 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.

tations! We absolutely love our wedding photos!!! We would highly recommend this team!

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!!

vations) 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!

e 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!

ow 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! :)

tographer 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.

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!

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:)

t 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!

e 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.

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!

ography, 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!

lla 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

os--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.

ts and had a creative touch to add to all of our photos. I would use them over and over again!

My family and friends even commented on how great she was. The pictures turned out wonderful and I would recommend her to anyone.

oto sessions, engagement and wedding. They were able to capture the joy and fun of the whole event.

y 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!

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!

ne 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!

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.
