Charleston SC wedding photo

My favorite recent wedding candid moment.

Hilton Head Island Wedding Photography

So I am a transplant from up north and getting used to southern living has been interesting and hot! Yes indeed. Hot! I think the biggest adjustment I have had to make since relocating to Hilton Head Island has been coping with the relentless heat and consistent sunshine.
Ok, I know what you are thinking. Oh, poor him...He has to live somewhere where it is warm and sunny all the time. Well, get this. I love the rain. I love cool, cloudy weather. I like to wear comfy pants and a sweater some days. You see, in Vermont, the weather is constantly changing. You can have a 90 degree hot day followed by a 50 degree day with chilly rain showers. I think this is what I miss the most.

The sunny weather does make my job as a Hilton Head Island Wedding Photographer much easier. There is nothing worse than attempting to get supreme imagery out of a cloudy, rainy day. It just makes everything that much more difficult. I suppose you just have to deal with it, but I am thankful for the bountiful sunshine we receive here in sunny South Carolina.

I cannot wait for the fall though. I will be photographing 3 weddings in September and 2 in October. I may have just gotten my first destination wedding at an exclusive property in the North Carolina Mountains. I will keep you posted.
Thanks,
Daniel Straine

Photography South Carolina


Just the other week I made my way up to the Northeast Kingdom Music Festival in East, Albany Vermont to work as the house photographer for my third consecutive year. I slept little, shot over 2,000 images over a two day period, danced like their was no tomorrow and overall had a great time. I wish I had slept more.
Now, I am back in South Carolina and it feels good to be living in the south. It has taken me a while to really appreciate it here and lately I am really beginning to love it here.
I have enjoyed establishing myself as a leading South Carolina Wedding Photojournalist.
More exactly, a professional wedding photographer on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. My calendar is filling up fast with all types of interesting photography assignments throughout the southeast.
Next month, I will be photographing weddings in Charleston, SC, Hilton Head Island, SC and Savannah, GA. Strainephotography is lifting off into uncharted successful territory.
This is extremely exciting. My newest project is in the form of a book I will be releasing independently in Charleston, SC.
Thanks for reading,
Dan.
