Candidly capturing Moments

That Matter

Hey, I’m Lea Austen, a family and wedding photographer based in Charleston with 20 years of experience. I love candid, natural photography, yet also have a weak spot for elegantly posed family portraits. I think the experience you get while working with me matters as much as the end result. That’s why each session is tailored specifically for your needs. When I’m not behind the camera I’m a yoga instructor and I am happy to offer meditation and yoga sessions to brides and their bridal party.

EACH SESSION
IS TAILORED

Just For You

My photography style is candid, photojournalistic, yet intentional. I think my background in acting and teaching yoga has made me more mindful towards the little details. It’s the secret winks, the silly smiles and stolen kisses, that often go unnoticed, yet carry so much value and meaning. I’ll be sure to surprise you with some lovely shots of those moments.
