What locals are saying
With over two decades of experience and a 5.0 rating across 55+ reviews, Leigh Hayward has built a reputation as one of Charleston's most dependable and warmly regarded wedding photographers. Her signature light, bright, true-to-color style translates well across the range of Lowcountry venues — moss-draped gardens, Gadsden House ballrooms, barrier island beaches — and her work has landed in publications like A Lowcountry Wedding and The Wedding Row. The consistent thread across client accounts is less about any single image than about how she runs a day: calm under schedule pressure, quick with sneak peeks, and precise enough with pre-wedding paperwork that couples rarely feel caught off guard. Full-day coverage starts at $5,000, positioning her squarely in the mid-to-upper Charleston market.
