Traveller reviews
Denis and his team at Charleston Photo Art are truly amazing! We first worked with them for our wedding photos in 2022, and we were absolutely blown away by the quality of the photos and the care they put into capturing such an important day for us. We had scheduled a maternity session with Denis for the winter of 2024, but unfortunately, we weren’t able to make it due to illness. Denis was incredibly kind and understanding and suggested that we use the session for a family shoot instead. We ended up doing our family photos on the beach in September 2025, and they were more than we could have ever imagined. The photos were beautiful and captured our family so naturally. So when we came back to the beach this year with our entire extended family, there was no question about who we wanted to call! Denis did an incredible job photographing all 12 of us—including an almost two-year-old, which is no easy task! 😂 He was patient, fun, and did such a great job capturing everyone. What really sets Charleston Photo Art apart is that they genuinely care about getting you great photos and making sure you’re happy with the experience. They truly take care of their repeat customers, and it never feels like you’re just another client. Denis has been there to capture so many special moments for our family, and we are so grateful for that. We have now trusted Charleston Photo Art with our wedding, our growing family, and our extended family—and we will absolutely be using them for a fourth time! We cannot recommend Denis and his team enough. If you’re looking for a photographer who genuinely cares about their clients and goes above and beyond to make sure you get photos you love, Charleston Photo Art is the one! ❤️
We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our surprise proposal at Magnolia Plantation and Gardens. From the very beginning, Dennis Aliaksandrou was incredibly easy to work with, communicative, professional, and genuinely excited to be part of such an important moment for us. I’m honestly not a very photogenic person and usually feel awkward in front of a camera, but Dennis has such a great personality and made the entire experience feel natural. He knew exactly how to make us comfortable, and somehow captured real, genuine emotion rather than photos that felt staged or forced. Looking back through the pictures, there are so many moments where you can actually feel what we were feeling in that moment, which is exactly what we wanted. He also did an amazing job working around the surprise proposal itself and capturing the little details and reactions that we’ll be able to look back on for years. The photos turned out absolutely incredible, and we couldn’t be happier with how he documented such a special day. If you’re looking for a proposal photographer in Charleston, I would highly recommend Dennis, especially if you’re planning a proposal at Magnolia Plantation and Gardens. He knows how to capture the beauty of the location while also making the people in the photos feel comfortable and natural. That combination is hard to find. I would 100% recommend Dennis Aliaksandrou for proposals, engagements, couples photos, or really any special occasion. He was amazing from start to finish, and we’re so grateful he was the person behind the camera for one of the biggest moments of our lives.
We used Dennis as our photographer for our engagement photo session. He was amazing to work with and made sure we were comfortable the entire time. He knew all the perfect spots to get the best photos! We can’t wait to work with him again on our wedding day!
Dennis was awesome. He made us feel very comfortable. He made it fun, light, and made us laugh... he was very polite, caring, and helped us relax. We would suggest him for anyone.
The whole process was made super easy! I wanted to surprise my girlfriend with a beach proposal and was walked step by step through the whole process with very quick responses. Through the entire shoot he made us feel comfortable and relaxed and helped pose naturally in photos. He did an amazing job at capturing every moment naturally!! The pictures were stunning and would recommend to all!
I highly recommend Dennis and his team at Charleston Photo Art for any photography needs. I chose Charleston Photo Art based on their incredible reviews and testimonials, and after looking through the samples on their website and social media, I knew I was going with a high-quality team. From the moment I first contacted Dennis, he was extremely helpful and genuinely cared about making the experience special. He did a phenomenal job capturing our perfect day and all of the emotions that came with it. Admittedly, I was extremely nervous to propose to my girlfriend, Jazmine. Throughout our photo shoot, Dennis kept us relaxed and comfortable with his hilarious jokes and easygoing personality. He made what could have been an incredibly nerve-racking experience feel natural and enjoyable. After our experience, my fiancée and I already know that we’ll be working with Dennis again for our wedding. We couldn’t be happier with the photos and the entire experience. If you’re looking for a photographer in Charleston, I can’t recommend Dennis and his team enough!
My bestie referred me to Dennis. She and her bf had couples photos the prior year and those were so amazing. We were doing a couples trip to Charleston for my birthday and thought this would be a different and beautiful experience for us. I’m a very confident person but posing for pictures makes me nervous and uncomfortable. Dennis was incredible, we felt comfortable, natural, and his jokes had us laughing the entire time. The spots he picked for us as our backdrop were breathtaking, picture perfect settings. We are beyond thrilled with Dennis, our experience and ALL of the photos. We ended up buying EVERYTHING, because they were all simply amazing. Book Dennis, he’s truly the best in every way.
I had the pleasure of booking Denis with Charleston PhotoArt for the first time last year for our engagement session, and I knew immediately that I had found a photographer I would want to work with again. He has an incredible eye for capturing the little moments, the genuine emotions, and the essence of the people in front of his camera. Our engagement photos were absolutely beautiful, and honestly, you’ll find yourself wanting to keep every single shot! So, of course, when it was time for our family photos, I knew exactly who I wanted to call. We booked Denis for a beach family session, and once again, he exceeded our expectations. He is incredibly patient, professional, and knows exactly how to keep the atmosphere light and comfortable. His little jokes had us laughing throughout the session, and he gave us plenty of different pose ideas so the photos felt natural and varied rather than staged. What I appreciate most is how enjoyable he makes the entire experience. You can tell that he genuinely cares about his clients and takes pride in what he does. From the initial communication to the actual session, his customer service is outstanding. He is responsive, professional, and the turnaround time for receiving your photos is fantastic. And I absolutely have to give props to the editor as well! The editing is beautiful and really brings the final images to life without taking away from the natural beauty of the moments captured. We genuinely enjoy your work, and I can already see us booking many more sessions in the future! If you’re looking for a photographer who is talented, patient, professional, fun, and truly knows how to capture your essence, BOOK HIM! You will not regret it. Charleston PhotoArt is highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
