Testimonials
thanks for your interest in WCP. Here are some kind words from past couples:
I don’t even know where to start, Aly is the best of the best. She is truly magic! She is the most talented photographer- capturing every moment of your special day and special photos you didn’t even know you needed. She is extremely attentive, communicative and always willing to help with special requests. My husband and I have now used her for engagement, wedding, pregnancy and now newborn photos! She feels like a part of our family. We really can’t recommend her enough!
Aly is the absolute best. She is the kindest and most thoughtful person. She made my husband and I feel so at ease during our engagement pictures and wedding pictures, which is no small feat as neither one of us are super comfortable in front of a camera. Her pictures are stunning and they really show “real life,” so we truly have an accurate picture of the day. She also went above and beyond on the wedding day, so many girls in my wedding party remarked on how incredible she was. We will definitely use Aly to take family pictures of us in the future. Aly is a great choice. Thank you Aly for capturing our wedding day so beautifully.
Aly is by far the BEST!!! She knows how to make your pictures look elegant yet natural, and brings out the best in your personality by making you feel comfortable in front of the camera. When I was looking for a wedding photographer her pictures immediately caught my eye. I love that her photos consist of variety and that is what I was going for! We met Aly before booking her for our wedding, and we fell in love with her! Her personality and everything about her made us immediately know she was perfect! During our engagement photos we were nervous, but Aly made both of us feel so natural in front of the camera. She is so flexible with everything. She takes her time to get the best shots and the best lighting, and you know immediately she loves what she does and cares about her couples. Aly helps you with positioning, your hair, veil, dress, and everything else to make your pictures look flawless. Throughout our engagement Aly ALWAYS responded so promptly and was always available to answer any questions we had. She was super flexible about my bridal portraits and was willing to meet me and my mom during the week at the location of my choice for my portraits. She helped guide me in the right direction of where to do my portraits and was just always super helpful. Before my wedding day she discussed timelines with my wedding planner, and was willing to do whatever it took to get the pictures we wanted. Throughout the whole process Aly has just been AMAZING!! She is so prompt on getting your photos back to you, and always does sneak peeks within a day or so!! Aly also provides you with black and white photos as well as color photos which I think is just an absolute plus! Thank you Aly for everything and for making our day perfect. All of our pictures are so great, and we can't thank you enough! Aly is the best photographer in Charleston!!! We will miss seeing her!
Aly is the BEST and I can’t say enough great things about her! From the first moment I spoke to her on the phone I knew Aly was the one I wanted to capture our big day! When we met for our engagement session, she instantly made my fiancé and I so comfortable in front of the camera with her energetic and down to earth personality. Then for my bridal portraits she was extremely flexible with the timing do to potential rain and was willing to walk all over downtown Charleston to make sure we got the perfect backdrops and lighting. On our wedding day Aly was just amazing! Our day started off with a torrential downpour, but Aly kept us all positive and was willing to help with anything to make the day perfect! The day ended with the most perfect sunset and Aly was right there to capture every moment! With each of our sessions she provided the most beautiful photos within just a week or so! I am so grateful Aly was there to capture all these memories for us. I would definitely recommend Wild Cotton Photography to anyone looking for the best photographer in the Charleston Area!!
We got married on May 1st, 2021 at the William Aiken House, and we were so lucky to have Aly as our photographer! The pictures turned out better than we could have imagined. They are breathtaking and she was able to capture all of the big and small moments from the wedding. We also did an engagement shoot at the beach with Aly and those were gorgeous as well. In addition to the pictures being beautiful, the experience as a whole with Aly was just as good. She is very professional, personable, and goes above and beyond the normal duties of a photographer. She helped make sure the veil was on just right, helped make sure the penny in the shoe was secure, and was overall a joy to have apart of our wedding day. We will definitely use Wild Cotton again in the future!
I can hardly put into words how incredible Aly is! She is incredibly talented and has the ability to use her creative eye and talent to make every photo more beautiful than the next. After being the third of our friends to use Aly, I knew from the first time we met, I was in great hands. I booked Aly before I even booked a venue or date! Aly’s presence and personality make you immediately comfortable in front of the camera. Not only is she excellent at her profession, but she’s also a beautiful friend. She showed up on our very rainy wedding day with a jar with rain water collected and the sweetest note. Aly’s lasting impression is forever hanging on the walls of our home, but also simply with who she is as a person. Thank you SO much! We adore you.
Aly was not only an amazing photographer, but an excellent "side-kick" that helped me survive my wedding days (yes, we hired her for TWO weddings)! My husband and I held an Indian wedding and an American "traditional" wedding, and regardless of the very different colors, decor, and "vibes" of each wedding, the photos turned out absolutely stunning for each! Not only did my husband, our bridal party, our families and me feel at ease throughout the photography process, but Aly also helped me with my Indian veil that constantly fell off throughout our photo shoot and with my bustle that would NOT stay up at my American wedding. Aly made us all feel so, so comfortable and supported, both behind the camera and throughout my wedding days! She's very professional, organized, and an absolute sweetheart. I highly recommend Aly and her team to anyone looking for extremely high-quality photos with a fun-loving photographer to experience your special day with!
Let me just start out by saying that Aly is one of the most wonderful people I've ever met and also just happens to be the most bomb photographer. She took our photos for our engagement pictures, my bridal portraits and our wedding. Every experience was better than the one before. She makes you feel SO special. She is literally so sweet and has some great tips and tricks to help you and to make her pictures turn out to be magazine worthy. We worked with her over the course of a couple years (because of covid) and we are so glad we chose her. It took me FOREVER to narrow down pictures to share with our family and friends from our wedding because we were so obsessed with all of them. If you want the prettiest, dreamiest, airiest Charleston pictures you've ever seen where you're like omg I can't believe that's me because the picture it looks like it just came out of Vogue... Look no further. We felt like we just had an extra best friend with us who just happened to be taking our pictures. She's so much more than a photographer and you will not regret choosing her. Absolutely wonderful, incredible, perfect and we loved her.
There are no words or gestures I could give to express our gratitude and love for Aly. She truly is a pleasure and I feel so honored to have had her photograph our engagement and wedding pictures. She not only makes you feel like the most gorgeous bride she has ever seen but brings a calming feeling to your day. She truly does everything from photos to making sure your veil is in in tight! If I had to plan my wedding over I would pick her every time. She is one in a million and we feel so blessed to have Aly in our lives! She got our photos back to us so fast I could not believe it. She is absolutely the best photographer ANYONE could have!
We hired Aly for our wedding photographer and I cannot recommend her enough. She was an absolute delight to work with all day, she was fun, funny, sweet and out there on the dance floor having an amazing time with us while doing her job flawlessly! Working with her alone is a wonderful enough experience but omg our pictures!! They're phenomenal. They are bright, colorful, realistic and gorgeous! When she sent them to me I stayed up until 4am looking through them. Through Aly's gorgeous pictures I get to relive the best day of my life over and over again. She captured every single moment I wanted to remember -- and some that I had even forgotten about but am so thankful she captured! For any important events in our life we will use Aly to capture them.
