  [QUOTE]Hello Everyone!  I am a newly engaged gal who needs some advice on Charleston weddings.  I live in Charlotte and don't really love any of the venues there.  My fiance and I are thinking that we would love a plantation wedding.  Has anyone ever been to a wedding at Charleston Tea Plantation or Magnolia Plantation?  What is a good photographer to use in Charleston that takes photojournalistic pictures that is not over $3500?  All of my close friends who have gotten married have HATED their photographers so I want to pick a good one.  Thanks for any advice!!!

  My daughter was married in August at the William Aiken House and we used Jenna Marie Photography.  She was AMAZING!!  Fabulous to work with, takes beautiful photographs and was very professional and punctual.  She is right in your price range.  I know you would be very pleased with both her and her style!!

  I visited Magnolia Plantation and really liked one of their three options but I also got married at The William AIken House like the poster aboves daughter. We used Patrick Hall Photography and he was around $3000 for 8 hours of coverage and he does a video/picture mix slideshow that is amazing.
  
  Here is a link to our slideshow if you want to see his work:

  I liked the Carriage House and Lawn best for a wedding. The Plantation House setup is a little strange as you are mostly set up on a wrap around porch. The Conservatory is very cool but It looks more suitable for a smaller event.

  Richard Ellis Photography is the best in town. He photographed my friends wedding at the Tea Plantation and it ended up getting featured! His work is beautiful and speaks for itself. Every photo he took was breathtaking and my friend had her wedding photos the Thursday after her Saturday wedding. No one in town is this fast! 

  
  

  Visit his website and see his wonderful work for yourself!
