Southern Jewel Photography

better photographer!

to you in a timely manner. I would recommend Southern Jewel Photography!

y eyes as I relive that day over and over again. The photo were stunning and it makes it hard to choose which ones to frame because I love them all!

s. Amber & Charlie are a great couple with unbelievable talent. We recommend them to any couple looking for a full service photography/videography for your wedding! Thanks Southern Jewel for making our day great!

hen to anyone. They are actually doing my sisters wedding in Wilmington NC next. Can't wait to work with them again :)

can be a little difficult especially when you are unable to get the time to meet with your vendors before hand. Amber and Charlie helped to really make that less stressful planning before hand! We feel so blessed that Southern Jewel Photography was a big part of our day! Emily and Curtis shot such beautiful photographs on our wedding day and Brandon did beyond amazing on the video of our wedding! Emily, Curtis and Brandon were all very professional the day of the wedding. I knew the first moment I met them on our wedding day that the video and all photos would be perfect. My husband is in the Coast Guard and I am praying we get closer to South Carolina so when we have kids we can have maternity photos and such done by Southern Jewel Photography. We would spend extra money for them to travel to take our photos! From everything before the wedding to the wedding day and now after with receiving our blue ray dvd and usb drive with our photos VERY fast this company is perfect!!! You will regret it if you do not choose them for your photography and videography needs!! Can't believe the deal we got for this outstanding work! 8 hours of photography with 2 photographers and 8 hours of video with 1 videographer. You will pay double if not more for this type of work and time! Thank you so much again Amber, Charlie, Emily, Curtis, and Brandon for helping our day perfect and easy with no stress! You guys rock!!

was extremely accommodating and worked well in what became a more crowded location for our pictures than planned (all pictures were supposed to be outside but had to be in the reception area with guests running around all over the place forcing us to remind everyone numerous times to stay out of our shots). She captured the day beautifully and used the weather to our advantage and took some truly unique photos we would not have had otherwise. The quality of the photos are amazing and our prints were edited and sent to us in an extremely timely matter. Amber is also a really sweet, kind, and fun person which made working with her even more of a pleasure. I would definitely recommend hiring Southern Jewel Photography for any of life moments you would like captured.

e first time we met. They're very realistic when discussing what you want, and they don't rush or push you to make any decisions. They give you questionnaires to fill out before the event to get all the info that they'll need, so you don't have to worry about anything the day of. It's also perfect for anyone who has very specific requests. They are some of the nicest people out there and I feel that they can get along with ANYone. They have that special gift of making you feel like you've known them for way longer than you really have. They were hands-down my most responsive vendor, and the best at communication in general, which meant so much throughout the wedding planning process (there is nothing worse than bad communication when it comes to wedding planning) and also after. They always kept us in the loop and made sure that we were prepared and comfortable with everything going on. Unfortunately, there was a horrible storm the day of my wedding which definitely changed what we had planned. But it did not change how amazing my photos and video turned out. Amber and Charlie were so calm even when feelings of stress were present, and they definitely helped me to stay calm as well. I was so amazed at how incredibly fast they were at getting the photos and videos back to us after our wedding. That is something that some people may not take into consideration when choosing a photographer/videographer- but it made a huge difference because all you want to do right after your wedding is re-live the whole thing (AND I wouldn't have been able to handle my family and friends asking me for pictures another day longer). I have since gotten SO many compliments from my guests and everyone who has seen their work. There is much obsession over our 3-minute wedding video (if you're on the fence about getting the video, I highly recommend it) and it brought many to tears. The wedding is over and the photos, video, and memories are what we're left with, which is why choosing this vendor is such a big deal (if you don't agree with me now, you will later). My husband and I are SO thankful to have such wonderful pieces to look back on to re-live such a special day. Amber, Charlie, and their team are very talented at what they do and it clearly shows. Everything that they provide (physical and non) is worth every penny and more. Southern Jewel is the definition of a dream team, and our wedding wouldn't have been the same without them. We wouldn't replace them for the world!

azing! :) The two associate photographers I had were quick and on the ball!

rought tears to my eyes every time I would see the finished product. My husband and I couldn't imagine someone else capturing our special day. SJP knows exactly what they are doing when it comes to photography & videography. I guess it comes natural to them when you have a career in something you love and while the happy couple get to do it together. Now that our wedding has come and gone, I sit here and think "now when can I have another portrait session so we can work with Amber & Charlie again". :) Most Brides think you don't need a Video to remember your special day, I must admit I was one of those Brides in the beginning. I am so happy we decided to do the Videography. I've watched our video over & over and its only been a month since the Wedding. It's the little things on your wedding day that you forget about & Charlie captures every moment possible. So glad my husband & I can consider Charlie & Amber friends. If your looking for an Phenomenal photography group & great friends, SJP is the way to go!

with them even though we had not met them yet. They were prepared & professional & really fun to work with. We got a flash drive of all of our fully edited digital images within a week of having our shoot. I was shocked at how fast they got them to me. They were absolutely stunning! As soon as we saw the images from the engagement shoot, we knew we just had to hire them to photograph our wedding as well. We are so glad we did! We just got the flash drive of all of our images from the wedding & they are AMAZING! They caught every moment that we wanted to to capture & more! Well worth the investment! We definitely recommend them. They go above & beyond. You can tell they love what they do. Hopefully we will need another photo shoot in the future & we can book them again! Nothing but the best to say about Amber & Charlie!

rtant to us, from the moment Jeff saw me enter the room, to my mother praying over our rings to my father giving a funny toast. The results were beautiful and I loved sharing them with others! Amber was a pleasure to work with and made me feel very comfortable in front of the camera!

ll. The video of our wedding turned out great and with awesome quality.

d together and always answered e-mails in a timely manner. He did a wonderful job capturing all of the details we discussed and we were extremely happy with the finished product. Turnover was really quick, we were able to watch our video short while on our honeymoon! Fantastic service at an unbeatable price, win win!

t it to me and we both ended up crying (happy tears, of course)! It was a perfect representation of our special wedding day and he caught so many of the moments we never want to forget. The ceremony and reception videos are equally as wonderful as well. I know as a bride you want someone who not only does quality work, but also someone who has a great personality to uplift the day - instead of bringing it down. Charlie and Amber both are so easy and fun to work with. They take stress away from the day and keep a great attitude the entire time. We also had the photobooth at our wedding and it was a HIT!! People stayed in the booth the whole time and we enjoyed looking at the pictures of our guests afterwards! Some of them are hilarious to say the least. I recommend Southern Jewel to absolutely anyone who wants their special event captured beautifully :)

rly!) and was very professional throughout.

watched it probably 100 times and cry every time! They are just as good if not better than the videographers who want to charge an arm and a leg. I am extremely picky about quality of footage and they were hands down the best investment we made for our big day!!

ike family from the very first consultation. My husband and I were laughing non stop throughout our engagement photos and they just made it so natural. Amber and Charlie as well as other members of the team were amazing at our wedding too! The photos and video that we have could not be more perfect! I cried happy tears when we got it all back! And the photobooth was a huge hit! I just can't say enough about SJP! Amber and Charlie are not only crazy talented, but they are awesome people too! I highly recommend them!

l-prepared. I can't imagine how any other photographer duo could have done a better job, and we were particularly pleased with how much more affordable Amber's rates were compared with some other options out there. Highly recommended.

ickly. At the actual shoot, they squeezed everything we wanted to do into the time we had - no small feat! And to top it all off, we had an incredibly amazing and fun time with them as our photographers - the whole shoot was just a blast!!

nized. I met Amber through a friend who had previously used her for her wedding, and I could not wait to have her photograph my own wedding! She has a way of making you feel very comfortable and encourages you to challenge her to make your photos unique and special to you. She met with us several times prior to our event to go over details as they progressed and changed through out our 1 year engagement. I had specific poses and shots in mind prior to our wedding day, and she made sure to capture them all. Even when I felt overwhelmed and considered eliminating a photo opportunity because of time constraints, she would remind me that it was my special day and made it work! Because of her amazing photography skills, our photos tell a story, photos that we can look back on and remember the entire day's events. Thank you Amber!!!

e, like you have known them for years. Every picture was so beautiful we have no idea how we are going to chose one for our wall! She was so helpful with her directions/poses to get the pictures to look just right. She was even able to capture some great photos of our dogs who were never standing still! It only took about a week to get our photos. Charlie recorded some video during our session. The video is such a special way to be able to see our joy and love for many years to come. I would highly recommend her and Charlie for any type of photo shoot you may need.

hem.Charlie also made us a video while taking our photos and it was amazing, made me cry. And can't wait for my wedding to get here to finish it all off with more amazing pictures!
