When I moved here to Charleston, South Carolina, I decided to take it slow, settle in, and get to know people and places. Now I can say – photographing in Charleston is pretty much the best!
Family portraits on Kiawah Island, Folly Beach, and downtown Charleston are wonderful locations! (Kiawah is currently my absolute favorite for beach portraits). And there’s just something about being on vacation, in a slower pace, that allows us to really create happy + meaningful photographs.
When I moved back home to the United States – first to Chicago for time with family and now to Charleston for planting roots – I’d been abroad for several years and had the honor of photographing weddings throughout Costa Rica. I’ll be honest, I didn’t know I’d find a location as beautiful as Costa Rica for portraits and wedding photography.
I’m so happy to say – I did!
Charleston really does have it all. Stunning beach backdrops and radiant sunsets….. to inspiring flora and animal life…. to a world-class charming city! And not to mention, Charleston has great food like local oysters (my favorite), ice cream parlors (vegan or regular), and some seriously delious southern cooking.
To celebrate photography in Charleston and working with more families and destination weddings, I wanted to update the Oriana Photography branding. Working with Franzine Mackley of Breezy Camper, our goal was to infuse inspiration from the natural beauty of the outdoors, as well as a friendly and festive feeling!

Next up! Over the next few months first the website will be updated to with the official new branding. We’ll be sharing more posts about wedding photography and family vacation portraits in Charleston, and family-friendly activities and destination tips for your visit to coastal South Carolina. I’m excited to share! Follow along by subscribing to the monthly e-newsletter.
**Edited to add: Between February and April 2020, we’ll be updating the website in stages, rather than all at once. So you may happen to see the “look” of the page change between visits during this time.**
