What to do and see in Coastal South Carolina, Coastal South Carolina: The Best Photography Tours

August 22, 2021 Rosalyn Ihle

Miles of white sand and romantic island resorts beckon from the hem of the Palmetto State. Families gravitate to Myrtle Beach and the 60-mile span of Grand Strand, where over 100 championship golf courses, tennis courts and nightclubs await. Charleston’s hundreds of heritage buildings, and irresistible charm, are part of its allure. Beach resorts at Kiawah Island, Seabrook and Edisto Island make for romantic getaways. Marshes, moss-bearded palms and oak groves create ambiance in the haunting Lowcountry.

Tiffany was an excellent teacher. I felt like I learned so much and can't wait to be able to go out and use what I learned. She was so encouraging and patient. I had a great time and would highly recommend anyone that wants to learn about photography to schedule some time with Tiffany.

Charleston’s welcoming embrace is one of salty air, Lowcountry living, Southern hospitality and rich history. Located on a peninsula near a harbor, this port city celebrates its coastal lifestyle. Walk out on the pier of Waterfront Park for a sweeping vista of Charleston Harbor at sunset. In between, ferry across the harbor to Sullivan Island to explore the lighthouse and enjoy a lazy day of beachcombing. You’ll definitely want to visit the historic churches, along with the still bustling City Market and the grand homes on Broad Street. Also wander the French Quarter, admire the colorful Georgian houses of Rainbow Row, and tour Fort Sumter where the first shots of the American Civil War were fired in 1861. Book one of our Charleston photographers and accept the invitation. You may never want to leave!

Inclusions: photography ( 30 pictures)

Exclusions: Admissions and fees, No food and drinks included

I would have loved to review how our photoshoot went, but unfortunately we just were told it wont be happening! We booked ours through the website with Alexa months ago. After booking her available date, she asked if we could move it from a Friday to a Thursday as she would be leaving town that weekend. Although this is would move our photoshoot to the day we are arriving - just an hour after our hotel checkin - we wanted to remain flexible and agreed to the change. Alexa was in contact with us throughout the months to follow, including within the last 48 hours to confirm our meeting time, yet we woke up today to an email cancelling our photoshoot from a random customer service representative. The cancellation was due to the photographer "leaving town earlier than expected". Barring personal emergencies or COVID scares, this is completely unacceptable. With just a week before our scheduled shoot, we are now tasked to find a photographer who is available. There have been so many expenses that have gone towards this photoshoot, i.e. hair, makeup, spray tan, manicures, pedicures, clothing, etc. We're obviously so disappointed at what once was supposed to be the highlight of our trip, and are completely disheartened to have not even been told by the photographer herself. Although the customer service agent offered to help us book one of our "2-3 other choices" (suggesting we may end up paying hundreds of dollars for our 4th choice in photographer? No thanks.), we no longer trust this company and are requesting a full refund ASAP. Maybe we'd feel different had the photographer reached out themselves with an apology and possible solutions. I would not advice anyone to book with Shoot My Travel or Alexa.

We use flytographer all over the world when we travel, but it was fun to do a shoot here in Victoria during COVID. I would highly suggest if you're looking for good photos of your family.
