Photographs hold our stories, immortalizing our most cherished moments. A wedding between two people in love is a tale as old as time, but you deserve images that are entirely yours, authentic to your story and the meaningful details of your relationship.
As your photographer, I portray your story from the grand settings to the finest details of your wedding. Through film, digital, and drone photography, you are invited to discover, reminisce, and treasure every element of your celebration forever.
WITH A LIGHT-FILLED, ROMANTIC PERSPECTIVE, I CAPTURE PHOTOGRAPHS THAT PORTRAY GENUINE EMOTION IN ITS TRUEST FORM.
Emotion and elegance at every turn.
Meaningful details.
Lush settings.

ABOUT SVENJA BAUER
“Svenja provided so much insight into wedding timelines, weather, lighting, and family dynamics that I was completely clueless about! Svenja played a large role in ensuring my wedding day was as stress-free as it could be. My entire wedding party absolutely loved working with Svenja and her team - they made us laugh and smile so big. Without knowing us for very long, Svenja captured our personalities and the love that we have for each other perfectly. In our photos, I can see these emotions peaking out, and that is a gift that makes these photos something we will treasure and adore forever.”
SABRINA & TRAVIS
“Svenja was one of my favorite parts of my wedding by far! Not only is she a professional and a gifted photographer, but she has become a friend to us because of her kindness and her amazing heart.”
ERIN & BRONSON
"My fiance and I took our engagement photos with Svenja and we absolutely love them. We didn't have a vision or any ideas, so Svenja took care of everything, working with a planner to organize a dreamy, sailboat day. She knew how important it was for the photos to feel like us and always ensured we felt comfortable. We had such a fun time and it showed through the beautiful photos (which she sent over very promptly). We cannot recommend Svenja enough!”
“She knew how important it was for the photos to feel like us and always ensured we felt comfortable.”
LAUREN & BRADEN
“Svenja’s attention to detail amazed me with all the special & intimate moments she captured, especially the candid ones of our loved ones. She even went above and beyond anything I’ve ever seen. Prior to our wedding day, she made sure to check in and was always willing to set up a call to go over the flow of the day of how I envisioned it. She created a beautifully organized timeline that made the day stress-free and made sure to help keep me on schedule. I could go on and on how happy I was with Svenja.”
“Our wedding photos were breathtaking! We received so many compliments on them.”

Saying your vows on the grounds of a grand estate, celebrating with a tented seaside reception, eloping among the marble columns of our capital’s grand monuments, or escaping to picturesque gardens? From the serene coastline of Maine to the Lowcountry’s Spanish moss covered oaks, I travel wherever my couples desire for their nuptials. Among my favorite destinations are the Montage at Palmetto Bluff and Nantucket. Wherever your wedding festivities take you, I am delighted to photograph your gorgeous celebrations.
