Della Marsh, with a film camera around her neck, laughing on the steps of a green porch.

Hi, I’m Della.

I grew up on James Island with a disposable camera in every pocket. Twelve years and a few hundred weddings later, I still shoot the same way: close, in color, and mostly when you’re not looking.

I take on about 25 weddings a year, so every couple gets me, start to finish. In between, families on the beach and small business owners who need photos that look like them.

“We were nervous about being in front of a camera all day. Della felt like a friend who happened to have a really good camera. Both our moms cried at the gallery.”

“I use these photos everywhere: my website, Instagram, a feature in a local magazine. Worth every cent.”
