About Charleston Photography Tours

Charleston Photography Tours offers guided photographic experiences across the Charleston area and nearby coast. The company operates a range of focused outings: Guide's Choice Half Day Outing, Charleston Coast Sunrise Experience, Boneyard Beach Sunset Adventure, Lowcountry Southern Charm Tour, Backroads and Live Oaks Excursion, Boneyard Beach Sunrise Adventure, and Charleston At Night. Each tour is designed to highlight iconic landscapes, historic streets, live oaks, coastal shorelines, and dramatic light for photographers of varying skill levels.

Guides provide hands-on tips, route planning, and local knowledge to help participants capture the best images possible from sunrise to sunset and after dark.

Half day and timed sunrise or sunset options suit travelers with limited time or those seeking specific lighting conditions.

The operation focuses on photography first experiences rather than general sightseeing, appealing to hobbyists, advanced enthusiasts, and visitors who prioritize image making.
