Today we’d like to introduce you to Dennis Aliaksandrou.
Hi Dennis, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
I started Charleston Photo Art in 2016, and since 2018 it has been my full-time job. My wife, Iryna, joined me in 2019 as our studio manager. Today, our business provides photography and videography services for weddings, proposals, and elopements.
Most of our projects are in the Lowcountry area, but sometimes clients who got engaged in Charleston invite me to photograph their weddings elsewhere in the U.S. For example, this year we’ve had weddings in Georgia, Virginia, and we’ll have upcoming weddings in Denver and North Carolina later this year.
On average, we shoot around 30–40 weddings annually and about 300 photo sessions in total each year.
With this workflow, I serve as the lead photographer and videographer. We also have several associate photographers, second shooters, and assistants. My wife manages all office work, and we work with professional editors and retouchers.
It’s been a journey filled with so much learning, creating, and I couldn’t be more grateful for all our amazing clients and colleagues.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The hardest — but also most rewarding and exciting — part has been learning marketing, advertising, SEO, and everything else needed to find your niche in the market.
Charleston is a highly competitive photography market, which constantly pushes us to learn and improve our business every day. But the reward is absolutely worth it!
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about Charleston Photo Art?
