EMMY               KIENAST

I’m Emmy! A Charleston-based wedding and elopement photographer who picked up a camera in high school and never put it down. I’m self-taught, left college my junior year to shoot full time, and fell head over heels for film along the way.

My approach is simple: presence over perfection. I offer gentle direction when you need it and give you space to just be together the rest of the time, so your photos feel honest today and meaningful for decades. When I’m not shooting, you’ll find me on a long walk with our pups Pickles and Charlie, chasing a sunset, or planning the next trip. (Fun fact: I met my husband Justin on my TikTok FYP!)
