Client Testimonials
“Dennis was our photographer for our wedding on March 14th and he also did our engagement pictures! Included in our package was videography which we cannot wait to see! We absolutely loved working with him and will definitely use him in the future again! He is so kind, funny, on time (early), had a great team, kept the energy up all day, continuously made us laugh, and just overall helped us have the dream wedding day. Dennis delivered sneak peek photos within 48 hours, and even allowed us to come to the studio to view our raw photos prior to editing. We had so many compliments from our guests and wedding party through the day as well! Dennis even surprised us with a short engagement session video. I highly recommend using Charleston photo art for all your photo needs!”

Client Testimonials
“My now-husband found Dennis when he was researching and setting up his proposal to me which included surprising me and having Dennis there ready to capture the moment. Our experience with our engagement was absolutely perfect and Dennis was really great to work with so we didn’t look for anyone else when it was time to hire our wedding photographer.
Dennis and Shannon were so great on our wedding day, they were so fun and helpful. Our bridal party, families, and guests were raving about how great he was. I am still hearing so many compliments from guests! He gave us a sneak peak and a fun little re-cap video so quickly and I just can’t wait to get the rest of the pictures. From the preview that Dennis gave us, they are all incredible! We also really appreciated that Dennis took photos of our guests as well as plenty of special photos of us. He truly captured the entire day and we are so thankful that we have all of those memories to look back on. We would recommend Dennis to anyone, he is great to work with and we couldn’t be happier with our wedding photos and video!”– by Zoe G. –
Client Testimonials
“I am so happy we stumbled across Dennis and his team for our wedding. We had our first experience with him for our engagement photos and he is such a joy to be around. He is very professional, timely, accommodating, friendly, and funny. We had 3 photo sessions with him, our engagements, my bridal portraits, and our wedding and he knocked all of them out of the park. They are all so beautiful and he even shows you some while he’s taking them so you can get an idea of what they look like. He makes sure you’re happy with them once you get them back and if there’s anything you want changed. He also makes sure you know how he wants you to pose or just do something funny to be natural. He has very quick turn around and is truly amazing at what he does. We love the fact that his photos are natural looking and he really captures everyone’s true beauty. We also go to meet and work with Megan on our wedding day and she was a great addition to have! We love the photos she took as well and they both made our day so enjoyable. Our guests, families, and bridal party all enjoyed working with them. We can’t wait to continue to work with Dennis and his team in the future! We will highly recommend Charleston Photo Art to anyone needing a photographer!”

Client Testimonials
“We cannot recommend Charleston Photo Art enough! From the moment we first met him, he was professional, approachable, and so easy to talk to. On our wedding day — one of the busiest and most emotional days of our lives — he managed everything with such calm, kindness, and genuine warmth that it instantly put us (and our families) at ease.
Not only was he incredibly friendly and patient, but he also had an amazing eye for detail. He captured every single moment beautifully — from the big, emotional highlights to the little in-between memories we didn’t even realize were happening. His creativity and talent truly shine through in every shot.
What impressed us most was how seamlessly he blended into the day. He managed to be everywhere without ever being intrusive, guiding us with gentle direction when needed while also letting natural moments unfold. Our guests all commented on how lovely he was to work with — he felt like part of the celebration rather than just someone behind a camera.
The final gallery left us absolutely speechless. Every photo tells a story, and together they perfectly reflect the joy, love, and energy of the day. These are memories we’ll treasure forever, and we’re so grateful to have had such a gifted and genuine photographer to capture them.
If you’re looking for someone who is not only incredibly talented but also kind, reliable, and a true joy to have around on your special day — look no further than Dennis Aliaksandrou!”– by Shannon F. –
Client Testimonials
“Charleston Photo Art was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the moment we spoke with Dennis, we knew we were in good hands. He was punctual, straightforward, and honest in all of his communication, which put us at ease throughout the entire process. On the day of the wedding, Dennis and his team were incredibly hardworking, kind, and humorous, which helped keep us relaxed and smiling. They captured all the special moments beautifully with their creative and passionate approach. Dennis made the family and group portraits flow seamlessly and quickly, and he was also very attentive to any special requests we had. We loved that he offered both photography and videography. It led to a seamless day, as all photo and video was being captured by the same team, who worked so well together. He even took my bridal portraits at the stunning William Aiken House, which turned out absolutely gorgeous. We are so grateful to have chosen Charleston Photo Art and would highly recommend them to any couple looking for dedicated, talented photographers to document their special day.”

How It Works
I Let’s Connect. Once you contact us, we will reply within 6–12 hours. We will check if your date is available, share examples of our work, and ask a few questions about your wedding day. Then we will recommend the best collection for you or create a custom one that fits your vision and timeline.
II Book Your Date. To reserve your wedding day, you will sign the contract and pay a retainer. Most couples book 12–18 months early, so your timeline or collection can still be changed later if needed. Once booked, your date is officially saved for you.
III Plan Your Session. Most of our wedding collections include an engagement or bridal session. This is a fun way for us to get to know each other before the wedding day and help you feel comfortable in front of the camera. You can also use the pictures for save-the-dates or wedding decorations.
IV Final Planning. Around 6 months before the wedding, we will send you a questionnaire to confirm all the details. We will work with your planner or coordinator to create the photography timeline and make sure everything is ready. This is also the time to share inspiration pictures, family photo lists, and special items you want photographed.
V Wedding Day. This is the big day! We will be there capturing all the important moments and emotions through photography and videography. We work closely with your other vendors and adjust to any changes during the day. Our team will guide you with posing and direction while still following your ideas and preferences.
Ⅵ Sneak Peeks & Preview. Within 1–2 days after the wedding, we will send you sneak peek pictures and a behind-the-scenes reel. Then we will schedule a meeting online or in person to review your gallery, video, and album options together. This helps make sure everything looks exactly how you imagined.
Ⅶ Final Delivery. After your preview meeting, our team will carefully edit all your photos and videos by hand. Once everything is finished, you will receive your full wedding gallery and final products. Then you can relive and share your wedding memories for many years to come.
