Your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and capturing it in the most timeless, romantic way is essential. Many couples are turning to film photographers to bring a unique, nostalgic, and fine-art feel to their wedding images. South Carolina offers a stunning variety of wedding backdrops, from historic Charleston to the breathtaking Lowcountry, making it the perfect setting for film photography to shine.

How to Book a Film Wedding Photographer
Finding the right film photographer for your wedding requires research and an understanding of their artistic style. Here are some essential tips:
Review Their Portfolio: Look for consistency in their work and ensure their film aesthetic matches your vision.
Ask About Their Process: Not all photographers specialize in film photography, so inquire about their experience with film scans, processing, and delivery.
Book Early: The demand for top film photographers is high, especially in South Carolina’s prime wedding season. Secure your date as soon as possible.
Discuss Film Add-Ons: Many photographers offer film scans as an add-on to digital packages. If you love the fine-art look, ensure your package includes enough film coverage for your key moments.

Top Film Photographers in South Carolina for Your Wedding
Hi, I'm Stee Garman, a Columbia South Carolina photographer and East Coast traveler. Photography has been a love of mine for as long as I can remember. In high school, I went through hundreds of disposable cameras. When I studied abroad in Italy, I bought my first DSLR. Once I got home, I started taking photos of families I knew - just for fun.
Those casual photos quickly turned into part-time work - as families referred me and my business began its growth. A few months later, an old college friend asked me to photograph her wedding. I was hesitant, but I agreed. From that point forward, I knew that’s where I wanted to be: in the celebration right alongside my couples. I've found my true calling in being there for couples on one of the biggest days of their lives. It's an honor I never take for granted, and one that fills me with joy - every single time.
