Hi! We're Aaron and Jillian,
a husband-and-wife wedding photography team
based in charleston, sc!
We've spent the last 11+ years shooting weddings side by side and have delivered nearly 500,000 wedding images to happy clients all over the world!
HERE'S A LITTLE GLIMPSE INTO OUR STORY!
It's a pretty good one, if you ask us!
Jill was born and raised in Southern California and Aaron is a North Carolina native, but we met while teaching English in South Korea back in 2009!
Yep, we met IN ASIA!!
We landed in Korea on the EXACT SAME DAY, for THE EXACT SAME JOB and met a couple weeks later!! We were teaching English and met one night at a "golf simulating" studio! So romantic, right?! We had so much in common and most of our first dates consisted of us photographing the Korean markets, coastal landscapes, and mountaintop temples together, with our matching Nikon cameras in hand. We're telling you - we were SO MEANT to find each other! Our fairytale relationship continued when...
AARON PROPOSED
ON A TINY TROPICAL ISLAND
IN THE PHILIPPINES!!
We planned our American wedding while we were still living and working in South Korea and said our vows on July 28th, 2012, in Aaron's hometown of North Carolina on our 2 week long summer vacation!! After the wedding, we flew back to Korea and had a dinner conversation in our tiny Korean apartment where Aaron mentioned wanting to become a professional photographer in Charleston. I quickly yelped, "Ooooh! I would love to shoot weddings in Charleston!" ... and voila!
IT WAS IN THAT MOMENT,
ALMOST 13 YEARS AGO,
THAT THIS DREAM BUSINESS OF OURS
WAS LAUNCHED!
And less than a year later, we were living in Charleston, booking some of our first weddings! It's wild to think how sometimes one little conversation can set your future in motion like that, right?!
SINCE THEN, WE'VE PHOTOGRAPHED OVER
400 WEDDINGS TOGETHER!
In addition to being wedding photographers, we're also fur-baby parents to the sweetest yellow labradors (Parker & Boone)! Fair warning - if you have a fur-baby, you better believe we'll be begging you to bring him or her to the wedding for snuggles and photos!! We're also both home design enthusiasts and lovers of southern hospitality. So if you're looking for wedding photographers who also become friends and invite you over for drinks on their porch when you're in town, you've found your match!! Or if you're big world travelers and looking for some travel buddies for your next big trip abroad, you've come to the right place!! We take the summers off and are always ready to make some travel plans with friends and clients!
NOW WE CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR YOUR LOVE STORY!
"SIMPLY PUT, HIRING AARON AND JILL WAS THE BEST DECISION WE MADE FOR OUR WEDDING!"
