Southern Tide Photography LLC

t and our wedding and made us feel so comfortable. Her communication leading up to the wedding, during and after was exceptional. I cannot recommend Southern Tide Photography or Leslie enough!

spoke to Leslie- I knew she was the person for me. Her personality beamed over the phone and her passion for her work was obvious! During the process, communication was great and she made me feel so great leading up to the day. Day of- Leslie was AWESOME. She showed up with contagious energy and made the entire bridal and groomsmen party feel comfortable and confident. It was truly unforgettable. Her attention to every detail and care for us was so great. I really could not say enough good things about Leslie. I haven't even received the full album yet and I know from just the preview photos and her previous work- they will be AMAZING because she is amazing at what she does and as a person!

et Leslie at our engagement shoot - it was supposed to be a beautiful and rain free day. In true Florida fashion, it began to pour moments before we went into a wooded area to take our photos. When the rain stopped the floor was muddy, the mosquitos were out in full force and the summer heat returned. Most would think that the day was ruined but our fun had just begun because Leslie didn’t miss a beat. We went out and got eaten alive by mosquitos but you would have never known because the photos were beautiful! Leslie exhibited the same fun attitude on our wedding day and we are so happy with how our photos turned out! We loved Leslie so much and were so happy with her work that our friends ended up using her too! There are a lot of great photographers out there but finding one that has both amazing photos and who is genuinely excited to be involved in your wedding day is hard to find. We would choose Leslie as our photographer time and time again!

at all. She was within our budget, we hired her for about 8 hours. This included engagement photos, our wedding photos and a wedding video. She was so easy to work with. She made us feel extremely comfortable. We received all our photos after about 2 weeks of taking them (or the wedding). The photos were amazing. She was definitely the best choice for us and I would highly recommend her!

Leslie had a few tips for booking vendors that she shared with us, to help us save money and avoid stress. After our meeting she communicated with us throughout the whole process, and there was never a delay with responding to any emails. We had our engagement pictures taken in different spots downtown near the Battery. During our engagement pictures, she made us feel like we had been friends for years! She made us feel so comfortable and confident. Leslie had us laughing for hours! She really captured our relationship. Our engagement pictures were sent to us within a few weeks, and came out beautifully with a true depiction of us! With the wedding getting closer, Leslie met with us to do a walk-through with our day-of coordinator. She asked questions and made sure the lighting in each spot was perfect. I should also mention, we got married in a Catholic church, which had tons of pages of strict guidelines for photographers. Leslie printed this out and made notes on each page, ready with questions to ask the church coordinator during our walk-through. Leslie was so practical and flexible with her thinking of the schedule for our wedding day. She listened to my ideas prior and made sure that my ideas were heard. She knew I really wanted a Daddy Daughter Reveal, and made sure it would be executed perfectly. When we sat down with my Day-Of and manager of the venue for our reception, Leslie ensured that my ideas fit into the schedule and were written out so everyone was on the same page. I left the walk-through feeling excited and relieved! On our wedding day, Leslie came with Matt, who took video snippets of our day. She quickly got to work, and I feel like Matt and Leslie didn’t stop from 11AM until 8PM that evening, keeping her easygoing personality the entire time. After our church ceremony we went to Hampton Park for pictures. Leslie made sure we stayed on schedule, and printed out a shot list so she captured everything and everyone. The shot list made it so we moved through the portraits quickly, which was amazing because it was so hot that day! Leslie also gave us breaks so we could cool off on the party bus, which we felt was so thoughtful. Leslie knew the different locations to take us to for pictures in the park, with beautiful backdrops. During the reception she captured everything with giving us space to enjoy our day. Over the past four weeks, we couldn’t wait to see all of our pictures. Luckily, she gave us a “sneak peek” with about 30 pictures a couple of weeks following our wedding! Now we have all of our pictures, and we can’t stop scrolling through them. When my parents opened up the pictures, they said Leslie captured all the emotions that day. Of course, both of my parents started tearing up going through the pictures. Leslie went above and beyond our expectations for our wedding pictures. Her talent and expertise is easily displayed in each photo! Words cannot express how much we encourage anyone to book with Southern Tide Photography! Not only will you receive the most stunning photographs of your special day, but you will be able to enjoy your day with such a prepared and punctual photographer, who will make you laugh and feel confident from the beginning until the end. Thank you times a billion, Leslie and Matt!!!

et pictures on the beach!! We couldn’t have been happier with the help and pictures we received for our destination beach wedding!

y now Husband and I. She took amazing photos for our engagement shoot and for our wedding. Her pricing is very reasonable and she's super fun to work with! If you're looking for a laid back photographer who is a wealth of knowledge, I would book Southern Tide Photography! Thank you Leslie for help making our day so special and memorable!!!

but quickly found that those favored few had prices that seemed a bit steep for the services offered. After hunting a bit more, we came across Southern Tide Photography LLC and liked the photos that we saw. Leslie gave us the rundown of pricing and since we wanted her with us the entire day (unlimited hours), we could not pass her up. A year before the wedding, we were in Charleston scoping out our venue and decided to get our engagement photos done at that time. I was instantly drawn to Leslie's personality, professionalism and ability to make us feel comfortable and knew we chose the right person for our big day. Fast forward to after the wedding, we got our pictures back and they are AMAZING. Not to mention, she had created a short video of the entire day and have nothing but good things to say about it. It summed up every amazing moment from our wedding day and brought more smiles and tears (good tears) than I could've imagined. Leslie will not disappoint you and you will be so happy that she captured the best day of your life!

h, but she took the most gorgeous photos of my husband and I! Her prices were amazing, and she sat down with us to go over what we wanted, and met with us at the venue to really make sure we got everything we dreamed of. I cannot wait to use Southern Tide Photography for every life event to come! You cannot go wrong with Southern Tide! Thanks Leslie :-)

eslie is phenomenal! She has an amazing eye for capturing moments throughout the entire day. Leslie is the most brilliant photographer that I have ever seen. I will always use Leslie for any future photography needs I have. My husband and I recommend that any bride who values having every single moment captured brilliantly to enjoy for the rest of your life use Leslie at Southern Tide Photography.

were more than satisfied. we will be using southern tide for any future events as well as recommending her to everyone!

tos and albums are so gorgeous! Our wedding package was very reasonable and also included a free engagement session which was so awesome. Two of my bridesmaids already booked with Southern Tide Photography after seeing the photos from my wedding because of how good they are. If you are looking for a photographer in Charleston and you don't want to blow your entire budget, you have got to book with this company!
