Word on the street
What locals are saying
A second-generation Charleston studio — Richard Bell opened it in the 1980s, and son Nathan now leads alongside Mell Bell and Wanda, each bringing a distinct photographic voice — the team has built its reputation on near-invisibility during the ceremony while still delivering work with a cinematic, intimate edge. Deep familiarity with Charleston's top venues means the team reads the light and locks in the best vantage points before couples think to ask; a consistently cited two-week gallery turnaround sets a delivery benchmark that stands out in a crowded local market. At top-tier pricing, satisfied clients rarely argue the value.
