About

Richard Bell Photography

Nathan Bell grew up lugging light stands for his father Richard's studio; today he photographs weddings under the family name alongside Mell Bell and Charles Merry. The second-generation Charleston operation describes its work as candid, joyful wedding photography, and the team adapts to couples who want images "moody and grainy" as readily as "bright and airy."

Wedding coverage centers on the studio's most popular package at $4,800, which includes two photographers and a wedding album; videography can be added, and the calendar also makes room for intimate weddings, elopements, and multiday celebrations. Engagement portraits are part of the repertoire, and boudoir sessions run through Mell Bell's separate Mell Bella studio.

The team photographs its hometown of Charleston, the broader East Coast, and destination dates farther afield — as they put it, wherever love leads. A full price guide and availability check are handled through the studio's contact page.
