My wife and I just celebrated our 10 year anniversary in Folly Beach, SC. I surprised my wife with a vow renewal and hired Dennis to capture the moment. Our experience with him cannot be described in words but I'll try. His energy was absolutely amazing and did not at all feel like a stranger. We would absolutely use him again. His assistant was also super polite and a pleasure to be around. You absolutely need that type of professionalism and comfort from a photographer in order to take natural looking photos. Thanks again Dennis!

I can not be more grateful and fortunate to have booked my Surprise Engagement with Dennis! Not only did he do amazing work, but just the amount of stress he took off my back was immense, especially since I am not local to the area. Dennis was able to secure the engagement location and did a great job communicating with me every step of the way. I can't wait to get the rest of our pictures back from this monumental trip.

Dennis is an amazing photographer. His funny/energetic personality made working with him a breeze. He is a very genuine guy who truly cares about making his clients feel comfortable.

Couldn't have asked for a better secret proposal experience. Dennis was super helpful and communicative throughout the entire pre proposal process and for the photography session. We are extremely happy with the finished product and our friends were all asking how the photos came out so good! Would definitely recommend this to anyone trying to do a secret proposal around Charleston. I'm from Boston and was not familiar with the area at all and Dennis helped guide me through this stressful moment. 10/10!

Dennis was great! From helping me plan the secret proposal to helping us pick out the photos, the whole process was seamless and made my bride to be feel like a million bucks! Highly recommend!

We booked Dennis through Air B&B for a combo tour of historic Charleston and private photo session and he far exceeded our expectations! From the very beginning he was responsive to any questions ahead of time. I wasn't as interested in a tour as I was finding a couple of spots with beautiful backgrounds to take pictures of my family and he was very knowledgeable on the best places to go and making the lighting perfect.

Most importantly he knew how to put everyone at ease (got my 9 year old son to smile and cooperate!) and to position us to look our best. He used techniques that got natural laughs and awesome candid moments. I like how quickly we received our favorite pics and we ended up amazed by how many pictures we liked. His work, professionalism and talent definitely speaks for itself! Couldn't recommend Dennis anymore!

Charleston Photo Art made our experience one that we will never forget! Dennis was very professional and experienced in guiding us throughout the entire session. As adept as Dennis was, he continuously made us laugh and truly enjoy the moment, which reflected in the pictures he took for us. His knowledge and awareness of the beauty in the area was extremely helpful in the planning process, since we were in Charleston for vacation.

This was for a secret proposal, I greatly appreciated his obscurity during the process. He is very talented, we were exceptionally pleased with his final outcome of our photos, the quality is outstanding! I HIGHLY recommend his services for anyone looking for a skilled photographer in the Charleston area! Thank you!

One of our favorite parts of our wedding is the beautiful pictures Dennis took. He was enthusiastic, personable and so creative. He made everyone in our bridal party feel so at ease and constantly laughing! People have constantly remarked on how beautiful our photos are and we're so grateful for Dennis and his vision!

Dennis did a great job for my daughter's highschool graduation party! So friendly, and talented. I recommend him for any occasion, very accommodating too!

I have to give a completely honest and genuine opinion of working with Dennis at Charleston Photo Art for professional headshots. I was a little reserved since there were only 2 total reviews on Yelp. I took a chance and I was extremely satisfied and impressed. Working with Dennis was a very customized experience and I will absolutely be using his services again. He was informative, friendly, communicative, and I would not hesitate referring friends and family to him. Do yourself a favor and google his company. You will be very impressed by his body of work, as well as his list of over 150 - 5 star reviews on Google, facebook, etc. Thanks, Dennis!

Dennis did a wonderful job with our photo shoot. My fiance reached out to him to capture our proposal. Dennis acted as a casual bystander and did a great job capturing the moment. Our photo shoot was very fun, as Dennis is very knowledgeable and personable. Dennis knew exactly where to stand and how to pose to get the best photo. Immediately following our photo shoot Dennis had 3 photos ready to send and 5 photos ready to pick up the next day. I was very impressed with the urgency and quality of his work.
