It is a priceless investment because in essence you will be re-living your wedding day through your photographer's eyes. You'll want to make sure that the photographer's vision and goals for your wedding are the same as yours. Photographers, their styles, their dispositions and prices for weddings vary greatly. Finished products available to you also vary greatly. Choose wisely, your investment in your wedding photography will determine how you enjoy your wedding memories for years to come.

With over 100 photographers in the Charleston Area how do you choose one?

Keep in mind that the photographer will be involved with you on a very personal level not only on your wedding day but for months before and after as well. So choose a photographer whose work you like and who has an attitude and disposition that you feel comfortable with. At Gissendanner Photography we love weddings. That's why we limit ourselves to about 50 per year, striving for the highest quality images and products we can produce. Each and every wedding is personally photographed by Kim Gissendanner.

Credentials

As you search for a wedding photographer you may find that some photographers aren't professional at all and are quite often weekend part-timers. Most of these well meaning amateurs aren't properly trained and aren't affiliated with any of the professional organizations. The product they put out is typically dated, basic in coverage without creativity. That's where we're different. We are a full time, full service Photography Studio housing over 3000 square feet of the latest in digital imaging technology. We participate in on-going educational programs and seminars through our membership and proud affiliation with organizations such as:

The Art of Wedding Photojournalism

At Gissendanner Photography we photograph in a photojournalistic style, documenting your wedding day in a storytelling fashion. We pay close attention to the minute by minute details, telling the story of your day as it unfolds. We're not only making a photographic record of your event; we're also capturing the mood, the emotions, and the expressions of your special day, creating memories from the moments. We incorporate architecture, light, and people to create the unique images that you will cherish for years to come. We won't forget the fine details like the flowers, the food, the musicians. With the exception of a few posed shots of family and friends that you request, we'll shoot from the heart and keep the coverage spontaneous and candid.
