About
My name is Matt Parker and I am a professional photographer based in Charleston, South Carolina.
I was born and raised in England. I have a passion for photography, and growing up on the Cornish coastline, it was impossible not to pursue my hobby in such a beautiful environment.
I studied for further training at college, followed by an honors degree in photojournalism and art photography at university.
Post university, I started my own business as a professional wedding photographer in England. I became a member of the Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers, and the British Professional Photographers Association.
I moved to South Carolina in 2019 and am happy to call Charleston home. It is the perfect city to get married, offering so many beautiful locations and venues.
I approach wedding photography like photojournalism; Capturing the moments and memories as they happen as discreetly as possible. I like to use natural light whenever available and produce timeless images that you will cherish forever. I can shoot fine art, modern, traditional and any other style you request.
With over 8 years experience as a professional photographer, I am confident you have come to the right place. Through establishing and maintaining excellent relationships with clients, I am committed to providing an outstanding service and providing images I know you will love.
I also do surprise proposal photography, engagement shoots, bridal shoots, portraits, headshots, commercial and event photography and am a licensed drone operator so can shoot aerials commercially.

Matt made the process easy for me and gave me and my fiancé unbelievable photos. I am not from Charleston and he helped me pick the perfect spot, made sure I knew exactly where to be, and then took great candid and staged photos. Highly recommend!

Matt was great! Responded to messages quick and made sure to be communicative when the time came for me to ask the big question! He was very friendly and helpful with the poses, everything went perfectly and I couldn't recommend a better photographer for the job. The turn around for the photos was very quick which was even better because we were able to share the moment with our family and friends the same night making the day even better and the quality of the photos were just amazing as well❤️

I had him booked for a while for proposal photos, didn’t talk much at first only because it was extremely early. When the time came gave him a text and he knew exactly what to do, good recommendations and most importantly the pictures came out good
