We work as a team. The blend of masculine and feminine is a wedding day plus and kids love it when I tickle James for a laugh. Our end goals are feel-good experiences and stunning photography. Weddings: All things weddings around the Charleston area (Historic Downtown Charleston, Kiawah, Seabrook, Mount Pleasant, IOP and occasionally Columbia, Litchfield, Pawleys and Savannah).
Portraits: Solo portraits, small families and extended family groupings became an organic evolution as our wedding clients became parents. We lean toward natural settings from beaches, parks, streets of downtown, family homes and horse pastures. The Lowcountry is our playground and we are happy to offer location suggestions.

The Lowcountry is our photography playground. We are lucky to have an abundance of venues that range from places of worship, hotels, parks, resorts and beaches to fit almost any style or whimsy between Charleston, Kiawah, Seabrook, IOP, Summerville, Daniels Island and Mount Pleasant. Over the years, clients have expanded our horizons to all of the beauty that exists beyond downtown Charleston and surrounding islands.
Charleston is a number one destination wedding location. The food is delicious. The people are kind. The streets are charming. And it is an experience. The hardest part is narrowing the umpteenth stunning street scenes to utilize as photographic backdrops while honoring the time line so you get to eat warm food and celebrate with your guests.
For engaged couples, sessions are a great opportunity to get comfortable with us and being in front of the camera. With enough time, images can be used for Save-the-Dates, wedding websites or Thank You cards. Finally, they are fun and are photo-gems. We like to pick an area where we can stroll to incorporate various Southern vignettes.
Each elopement has a unique flow. Some elopements are getting ready, vows, champagne, stroll and a slice of cake. While others are vows and some lovely imagery. We have favorite officiants and ministers in town that personalize a heart-felt ceremony. Others have done the legal bit in their home town and choose to speak their words one-on-one.

WHAT: Wedding boards include local venues, aisle style, color palettes, vendors that rock, engagement ideas, rehearsal dinner documentation, the various islands surrounding Charleston proper and anything that is in the Southern wedding realm.

We absolutely love Corrie and James! I've worked with MCG Photography professionally for years in my role at the Gibbes Museum of Art, where they have photographed countless exhibitions and events. Last year we called on MCG for a family photo shoot at Colonial Dorchester State Historic Site. They spent the morning photographing 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 the most natural way. I particularly loved their dual approach — while Corrie snapped pictures

It was a delight to spend a morning with Corrie and James walking around Middleton Place and taking some pictures with my wife. We were celebrating our engagement anniversary and were thrilled with how the pictures turned out. Wonderful talented folks and great service!

Corrie and James are incredible to work with. They are thoughtful, kind, professional, and talented beyond measure. We were so lucky to find them to photograph our wedding - now they capture our family when we visit the area with seemingly effortless perfection. I cannot say enough about them. If you are in the Charleston area and need a photographer, look no further!!

After reviewing and interviewing many wedding photographers we happily selected Corrie and James of MCG Photography as our photographers. We felt they brought a wonderful energy as a couple and would perfectly be able to capture our Wedding Day! Unfortunately COVID happened and altered our wedding day plans several times. MCG was so wonderful and flexible with every change of venue, date and time. They were incredibly responsive and a joy to work with. We took engagement photos and bridal photos before our wedding day photos. When our original Wedding Day plans had to be drastically altered they

I can not say enough about how amazing it was to work with Corrie and James. They had done the photography for my brother's wedding and I was so impressed with them that my husband & I knew they would be the only photographers for our wedding. Corrie & James went above and beyond to accommodate our wedding especially given a change in venue two weeks before our wedding because of COVID. They made us feel extremely comfortable in front of the camera (especially as someone who is camera shy) and all of our photos came out absolutely beautiful.

Corrie and James took beautiful photos of our family in April 2019. They were very easy to work with (even when a thunderstorm forced us to reschedule at the last minute). They were so great and very flexible and ended up taking our pictures on Easter morning so we could have the perfect weather for our family photos. Corrie and James are profession but also relaxed and fun so our kids were relaxed too. We will treasure these pictures for years to come.
