Tyler B. says, "I cannot recommend Linn Photography enough. Sandra helped me with a surprise engagement for my girlfriend and the photos she took were beautiful. She was very helpful in arranging all the details ahead of time as we are from out of state and unfamiliar with the area. The day of, she was very friendly and arrived early to make sure the area we chose was clear. If you are in the Charleston area, you will not find a better photographer than Lin Photography."

i can preserve a child's smile, make any woman feel beautiful, freeze time & capture a moment with the snap of a finger. I am proud to say I am a photographer by instinct. My clients have dubbed mi a “transformation artist” as I have been told I bring the inside to the outside and make them feel comfortable, beautiful, and fabulous. I began my photography journey in Alaska in 2005 when I took some nature shots to make blank note cards for a friend who was leaving her home state for a year.

Your photography questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Fash.

How much does a photographer cost?

The average cost to hire a photographer is $100 to $250 per hour, depending on their experience. However, photography prices vary significantly depending on the type of event or photo session:

Do you tip photographers?

The standard tipping etiquette for photographers depends on the type of photo session or event and how happy you are with the photographer's service:

  • Tip a wedding photographer $50 to $200 if the photographer exceeds your expectations. If the photographer works with a second shooter, be sure to tip the second photographer separately.
  • Consider tipping a family portrait photographer, pet photographer, or newborn photographer if you're happy with the photo session. However, tipping is not expected for family portraits taken at a big box store like JC Penney or Wal-Mart.
  • Tipping a photographer is not expected for headshots, commercial photography, real estate photography, or architectural photos.

If you're happy with the photographer's service, post a positive review online and share their photos on your social media.

How can I save money on a photographer?

Follow these tips to save money when you hire a photographer:

  • Book a "mini-session" – a shorter photo session that lasts only 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Choose your favorite photographers and follow them on social media. Some photographers may provide deals and exclusive offers.
  • Hire a less experienced photographer. However, be sure to review their portfolio to confirm they have enough skill to meet your photo needs.
  • Purchase prints from an online retailer instead of ordering them from the photographer.
  • Bundle multiple photo sessions for a discounted price. Some wedding photographers bundle engagement and wedding photos. Other photographers offer a bundle for newborn photos plus additional sessions as your child grows.

How far in advance should I book a photographer?

Book a wedding photographer as early as possible, ideally as soon as you've confirmed the date with your venue. Headshot, commercial, pet, and family portrait photographers typically don't require as much advanced notice. However, a popular, in-demand photographer may be booked out several months in advance.

How can I find the best photographer near me?

Follow these guidelines when searching for a photographer to ensure you find one who is the best match for you:

  • Look for photographers who specialize in the type of photography you want. A photographer who specializes in weddings won't be the best choice for a newborn baby photo shoot, and vice versa.
  • Review their online portfolios to confirm you like their photography style and aesthetic.
  • Read photographer reviews on Fash and Google.
  • Get a contract in writing before making a deposit.
  • Discuss the photo usage and printing rights to confirm how both you and the photographer can use the images. Photographers typically retain the copyright to the images, allowing them to use the photos for marketing and social media.

What questions should I ask a photographer?

Ask these questions to help you choose the best photographer for your needs:

  • How long have you been in business?
  • What type of photography do you specialize in?
  • What is your photography style?
  • Do you have an online portfolio I can view?
  • How far in advance should I book my photo shoot?
  • What deposit do you require, and is it refundable?
  • Do you have a photo studio? If not, where will you take the photos?
  • What should I do to prepare for the photo session?
  • How will you deliver the final photos to me?
  • How long will it take to get the photos?
  • Do you offer printed items or photo albums?
  • Who owns the rights to the photos?
  • Will you use my images on social media or your website portfolio?

Reviews for Summerville photographers

Recent success stories from people in the Summerville area.
Chandler B.
We are so incredibly grateful to Artistic DJ's Entertainment Company SC for being such an unforgettable part of our wedding day! From start to finish, the team—especially James and Dave—went above and beyond to help make our celebration feel truly magical. James, our amazing DJ, took the time to have dinner with us before the big day to get to know us and talk through every detail and possibility. That personal connection made all the difference. His ability to read the room and keep the energy flowing was top-notch. He knew exactly when to slow things down or bring the party back to life. One of the most breathtaking moments of the evening was our first dance, made even more dreamy with the “Dancing on the Clouds” effect—thank you, James, for suggesting and perfectly executing this! It added a stunning, romantic touch that we’ll remember forever. He also interacted with guests in such a natural, fun way—seamlessly guiding the night along while making sure everyone felt included and entertained. He truly was one of the best parts of our once-in-a-lifetime evening. Dave, who ran our photobooth and 360 video experience, was equally wonderful! Our guests had so much fun, and we loved seeing everyone laugh, pose, and enjoy the interactive experiences. The memories captured were priceless. To anyone looking for a wedding DJ who is personable, professional, and truly invested in making your big day perfect—look no further than Artistic DJ’s. We are forever thankful! — Chandler & Shane Lindler
