Thoughtful, artful, Film Wedding Photography
more than a style - It's documentary, It's editorial. It's whoever you are. It's whatever your vibe. It's however your story unfolds.

I've been trying to write this review for a week, and the best thing I can come up with is this: hiring Brian as your wedding photographer will be the single best decision you make in your planning process. Brian was a recommendation from our wedding planner and I fell in love with the vivid, real style of his work immediately. What really sealed the deal, though, was talking to him about it. His passion for photography was so tangible, and it was obvious that he would pour himself into capturing our wedding as if it was the most important day he would ever document.

5 stars doesn’t even do Brian justice!!!! Hiring Brian as our wedding photographer was by far the best decision we made throughout the planning process. Our families and friends have been singing his praises ever since the wedding day (...) He has a way of making you feel so comfortable, and he has the perfect balance of following the couple’s natural lead while also offering some direction. During our wedding weekend, I’m not sure where we would’ve been without Brian. He has such a calm, caring presence that really made the day that much more perfect. He’s a very empathic person who is able to read the room/vibe in any moment, and you could tell he genuinely loves what he does. If you ask our parents, by the end of the weekend we considered him family! He just got us.

Brian is probably the most talented photographer I have ever encountered (...) Come wedding day, Brian fit seamlessly in with our family and friends. We received so many comments about how gracious, kind, and committed to his craft he was from our people (...) It feels strange to say I walked away from the wedding planning process with a friend, but that's how it feels with Brian.

Studio Sixty Reid
is my home portrait studio in Charleston, South Carolina. The space began out of a curiosity and admiration for the classical qualities of studio bridal portraiture, but my fascination quickly expanded into other avenues of practice - fashion, commercial and professional, boudoir, heirloom and fine art and even the occasional family. The portrait studio is my space to create. It's my space to build and explore, while simultaneously stripping away all of the distractions and influences of the outside world. Shot entirely on film, my studio work aims to be timeless but art-forward, polished but experimental. Whether you are looking to have your bridal portraits taken in studio, need a portrait for a professional setting or project or are simply looking to document you as you are, as you exist in this moment in time, Studio Sixty Reid is here to capture it.
is your opportunity to step into the quiet, calm atmosphere of a portrait studio and create something artful. It's an opportunity to slow down and express yourself with nobody watching. Wedding days are filled with beautiful chaos. Studio bridal portraits allow you to wear your dress, feel your best, and take a step back from everything that makes a wedding day so great and simply focus on what makes you great. Want something different than your traditional, wedding day bridal portraits? Looking for another excuse to where your dress? Let's create something slow, something thoughtful, something artistic all from the cozy setting of my Charleston, South Carolina Portrait Studio.
