LOCAL PASSION

We live here, we shoot here and we LOVE it here.

OUR STORY

WHY WE STARTED CPT

Charleston is one of the most photographed places on earth. But, great photos don’t happen by accident. They come from local knowledge, experience and the right guidance.

We started Charleston Photography Tours in 2014 to share that knowledge through in-person experiences. Over the years, we’ve guided thousands of photographers to locations they never would have found on their own.

WHY WE EVOLVED

FROM GUIDED TO SELF-GUIDED ADVENTURES

We still love meeting photographers from around the world, but we know life is busy and schedules are tight.

Our self-guided photo adventures give you the same local expertise and field-tested knowledge. On your schedule, at your own pace.

It’s everything we teach on tour, now in your pocket. Go when you want. Stay as long as you want. Capture Charleston the way you see it.

OUR LOCAL EXPERIENCE

WE KNOW CHARLESTON

We live here. We shoot here. We explore here. From the beaches and back roads to the historic streets and hidden corners. There’s nowhere we haven’t been with camera in hand.

We know the light. We know the tides. We know the scenes that make this place unforgettable.

And, we can’t wait to help you capture it!
