“Not just vendors, but friends now! Corrie and James were one of the best parts of the wedding planning process. They are intentional, kind, supportive, funny, and are an overall addition to the event itself. Corrie and James met with us multiple times (virtually and physically) before the event because they just wanted to get to know us as individuals and as a couple. I understood the importance once I received the photos, and saw how well they captured the essence of who we are. Looking back on the actual day - which was a whirlwind - the things that stand out to me are - the clear direction provided for posed photos (and how much fun they made it - we were laughing the majority of the time) • the efficiency of the posed photos so we could get back to the party • Corrie bustling my dress herself so I didn’t have to bug my maid-of-honor during cocktail hour • Corrie showing me a photo she snapped of my mom in the middle of the dance floor • Corrie leading the entire vendor team in partnership with our wedding planner. Corrie and James make you feel like the coolest couple in the world, and we couldn’t recommend them enough. Luckily they also specialize in family photos, so we can continue to engage them many times in the future.” - Celeste & Jason

“Their photography is worth a million words, and their company is pure joy. I've worked with MCG Photography professionally for years in my role at the Gibbes Museum of Art, where they have photographed countless events. They photographed us with our 3 girls and capturing every sparkle, smile, and magical moment. Their calm energy, thoughtfulness, and focused approach was so helpful in capturing our family in a natural way. I loved their dual approach — while Corrie snapped pictures and engaged the girls, James simultaneously took photos from the side. Their ability to capture those natural little moments is a rare talent. ” - The Banks
“Corrie and James are absolutely amazing! I for one typically feel awkward about taking photos, however Corrie and James have something about them that just makes you feel comfortable! Not only did they do our engagement photos, but also our wedding photos, both of which are absolutely stunning! If you are looking for photographers that will make you not only feel comfortable, but feel like family look no further! I would recommend them to anyone that wants their special day to be stress free when it comes to all of the photos.” - Danny and Bo
“They made our last minute elopement seem like a long planned out fairytale. They are phenomenal photographers and you won't regret booking with them.” - bride Adele
“I’m not even going to tell you how many times I’ve watched our highlight video in the first 24 hours but it’s a lot. Where do we even begin!! Corrie and James blew it completely out of the water, they’re so perfect. The amount of joy that radiates is so amazing, the entire story of the day was painted so perfectly. My little sister said she just sobbed through the whole slideshow, my dad could not get enough of the last section with the chalice he bought me when I was a girl, and my mom (who was the reason I always knew I was going to elope) was so happy she couldn’t criticize a single thing which blew my mind. My husband was obsessed with the music you chose, drumming along to it the whole time. The movement, the connection, the joy, it’s all there. Thank you does not suffice, but I am so grateful for your amazing talent.” - Kate and Barry
“Corrie and James were terrific to work with! We haven't even seen our images yet and I can't say enough positive things about our experience with them. Leading up to the session, Corrie answered every one of my emails promptly, professionally, and kindly. We have three small boys with a LOT of energy and Corrie & James were so patient and understanding of them, they planned poses and photos around what they needed and found ways to keep them engaged throughout the session. Even when it started raining, they didn't stop the session, they just switched gears and moved us somewhere dry to capture even more photos. From the time we booked our session, working with them was a delight. If we are ever in the market for family photos in the Charleston area again, we won't be looking any further than these two, we would recommend them to anyone!” - Taylor Gordon
“Gorgeous photography! And based on what you had to work with crying baby, broken dress, you guys are miracle workers." Black and white are absolutely breathtaking. Best photographers we have been too, wish we lived closer, we would always come back! Would give 10 stars if I could!!!” - Keisha W
“I just love them! Corrie was a life saver for me on my wedding day. She came to my room and helped calm my nerves while getting beautiful photos of me and my maid of honor. Her husband James took photos of my husband and his best man. It was great since we went more traditional and did not do a first look before ceremony. The photos are so professional yet really catch the love and happiness of the day as well as the fun that was had! I can’t recommend this duo enough.” - Brandi & Michael
“Amazing!!! Corrie and James were INCREDIBLE. Corrie had the most energy and really took charge and somehow got the kids to smile! Her and James worked some serious miracles together with our crazy group and captured the best moments of our lives. I would give them a 15/10!” - Kelsey & Josh

They have a calming presence that makes everyone feel at ease and they capture every detail and emotion so perfectly." - Shelley (mom of the brides)
“They were professional, courteous, artful, creative, and most important, given COVID, respectful of social distancing protocols with zoom lenses in tow, to not miss an opportunity for a closeup.

“Love working with Corrie and James! They are very communicative when setting up the shoot and then also leading up to it as well.

The pictures of the kids are absolutely priceless. I would not hesitate to recommend them to any bride and groom. Their warm personalities and artistic talent is beyond what I could have ever asked for." -Jennifer
