Nathan Bell and his team are truly the best in the business. From the moment I saw their website, I was so impressed by all of the photos. After talking with Nathan, it then solidified even more that he and his team would be the perfect fit for our photography and videography for our wedding. The customer service is top notch! I always received a prompt response (I'm talking same day).

He truly puts you first and is amazing at what he does as he grew up in this business. Day of the wedding, the team will make you feel so at ease and you truly get to take in the moment. The photos and videos are amazing. I HIGHLY recommend using Richard Bell Photography!

Nathan and Mike were incredible to work with. They made our day so special not just by their kindness and genuine character but because of how insanely creative they were. Nathan put so much thought into every shot while Mike made sure to catch those sincere moments. Both Nathan and Mike kept us laughing, feeling comfortable, and never letting us feel like we would get over having our picture taken.

They sent me a sneak peek, and I INSTANTLY started to cry as I was so touched. They are true artists with a talent like I have never seen before. If you plan on having Nathan at your wedding, give him free creative control and watch what masterpiece he can deliver. If you haven't hired them yet, you are a fool! They are worth everything and THEN some. Thank you guys for truly making our night incredible. We love you! Megan and Brandon

Nathan and his associate did a phenomenal job for my wedding. He had intimate knowledge of both venues and was able to capture some incredible moments. The pictures turned out even better than we could have hoped for. He was timely, personable, and professional. I recommend his team to anyone getting married in Charleston!

No need to look anywhere else. The Richard Bell team is 11/10 recommended. They did both our engagement and wedding photos and they both came out better than anticipated. They had a drone that they took this picture with. It was incredible and such a unique shot! Lastly, the wedding book that we got with our package is bar none. You wont have and problems with this fantastic team!

The best choice we could have made! Nathan was on the ball the entire day. He caught every moment from the perfect angle. He was so patient yet efficient. I was so impressed he remembered everyone's names throughout the day. We didn't miss out on one single photo op! The photos themselves are breath taking! I couldn't be happier! His attention to details will keep our memories for years. The drone was a pleasant surprise that captured our wedding scene as a whole! My photos are beautiful! I wouldn't change one thing!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Nathan was amazing to work with from the beginning all the way through our wedding and took AMAZING pictures! The best part of Nathan was him making recommendations for very unique group pictures, drone pictures, his ability to work with groups and his quality of pictures. We have received so many compliments on them and can't thank him enough. THE BEST!

I had an amazing experience! I learned how to truly appreciate my body and this experience is definitely a confident booster. She went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and even took the time to find a stylist for my natural hair. I enjoyed every moment from the time I walked into the building until the moment we scheduled my appointment for the big reveal. Please, please, please take the leap and step out of you comfort zone so you can have the most amazing experience like I did and I promise you will enjoy every moment.

I am so glad I did my Boudoir photos with mellBella! I was nervous at first, but that feeling went away very quickly because Mel and Wanda are great at making you feel comfortable and beautiful. It was honestly so much fun! I got the pictures as a wedding present to my future husband. He hasn't seen them yet, but I think he will like them : I felt like it was a present for both of us because I felt so good about myself when it was done. I can't wait to give them to him!

I was on the fence to put myself out there to do a boudoir photo shoot, but i finally decided to do it and i am SO glad i did! MellBella was extremely professional from the first email! It was a fun and relaxing environment and Mell has the perfect personality to make you feel at ease and get the best version of you! If you are on the fence STOP mulling it over and just do it! You will not regret it! MellBella is THE BEST!

Nathan and his team are incredible. The complementary engagement photo shoot really allowed us to get to know our photographer and resulted in what are our favorite photos. We highly recommend the gifyyy station as it was a giant hit with our guests. as far as wedding photography; if you want to relax and enjoy every moment of your wedding day without taking hours out for dedicated photos then this is the way to go.

We ended up with over a thousand amazing pictures that captured the night perfectly without having to worry about missing out on the experience. Nathan and his team capture the important moments without detracting from the intimacy of the event. We highly recommend Richard Bell Photography

Mell Bell and Richard Bell Photography were amazing! After meeting with Mel for our introductory "engagement" photo shoot we quickly knew we made the right call hiring them for our wedding. Mell was incredibly easy going and at the same time professional, she had some awesome ideas for photos and perfectly captured what we were looking for. On our wedding day they kept us on a time line that was convenient and efficient for the events leading up to our ceremony.

After seeing our photos we were super excited to see how well they came out. Richard Bell Photography totally delivered above and beyond. We are making a trip back to Charleston to design our wedding album with them soon and we can't wait! Thank you again to Mell and everyone at Richard Bell Photography for being the best!

Wanda is the absolute best and she feels like family after engagement pictures, bridal portraits and a busy wedding schedule. We got married at the SC Aquarium, which is a hard place to photograph and I chose Richard Bell because I felt like they were the best at photographing our venue. Then, I chose Wanda because I felt like her pictures were edgy and I did not want anything about my pictures to be generic. She really delivered. Our pictures turned out amazing and I am looking forward to getting our album back!
