It’s not about stiff poses or forced smiles — it’s about capturing the real, unfiltered moments that make your day unforgettable. The wild laughter, the quiet tears, the electric energy that fills the air — the little in-between moments you might miss but will mean everything later. Wedding photography should feel effortless and genuine, just like your love story — timeless, beautiful, and deeply personal.
From ‘Will You?’ to ‘I Do’
MEET LAURA & RACHEL
We are photographers, proposal planners, curators — and above all, storytellers for life's most extraordinary moments. As a boutique, mother-daughter team with over a decade of experience in luxury wedding photography, we specialize in creating elevated, artful imagery for couples who value authenticity and timeless beauty.
After years rooted in the coastal charm of Monterey, California, we now call Charleston, South Carolina, home — bringing our editorial style and personalized approach to Charleston wedding photography, proposals, and destination celebrations across the Lowcountry and beyond.
From intimate waterfront ceremonies to iconic downtown soirees, we are passionate about curating experiences that are as unforgettable as the images we create.

These girls are the absolute best! They were able to help me plan something that I simply couldn't have pulled off without them. The best part was how fun and natural the whole process seemed. It was like hanging out with a couple of friends that day and just made us both feel so comfortable. If you need an amazing photographer and planner, you found them. Seriously, stop looking, you found the best!
I simply couldn't have pulled off without them!”

I cannot recommend Laura & Rachel Photography highly enough! They helped me plan and execute my proposal in Charleston, and the entire experience was nothing short of magical. Their expertise and creativity shone through in every aspect, ensuring that every detail was meticulously planned and beautifully captured. The photos they took are simply stunning! Without a doubt, we will be asking Laura and Rachel to shoot our wedding, no matter where it takes place.
