Portrait Station at The Sanctuary on Kiawah Island

One of the most popular “Photo Entertainment” packages we offer is our famous Portrait Station!

Photo Booths have run their course and are going out of style. They were a fun novelty item when the technology was new. But the difficulty of cramming you and a few friends into a tiny booth…followed by the dissapointment of getting a tine 2×2 inch print of it where you can barely make out each person’s face…totally negates the excitement of getting that instant photo to take home.

We have managed to keep that instant gratification of recieving a photo memento to take home from your event, but TOTALLY taken it to the next level! Compared to a Photo Booth, this is like having a Photo Wall!!! It’s big. It’s bold. It’s fun. It’s professional. And it’s as if that little Photo Booth is all grown up!

We have a variety of professional backgrounds to choose from. You can provide the company’s step-and-repeat. Or you can customize your own backdrop. We provide professional lighting, like what you would get on a supermodel fashion shoot. We include a professional photographer to help with posing and directing so that you LOOK like a supermodel. Plus having a friendly and engaging photographer makes the whole experience more fun! Last but not least, your portaits are printed as beautiful 5×7 prints, which are custome mounted in an elegant black folio with a built-in “kickstand”. This not only protects your portrait, but makes it an awesome keepsake that you can take home and display in your home or office!

If you are having an awards gala, holiday party, corporate event, welcome reception, company meeting, mitzvah, or wedding, and would like to make it something your guests will truly remember, reach out to us on our contact page at https://chrisandcami.com/contact/. We would love to work with you…and you will LOVE the positive feedback from your attendees!!!

Portrait Station at The Citadel Foundation’s Annual Scholarship Dinner

My friend Gary and I recently had the pleasure of running our Portrait Station at The Citadel Foundation’s Annual Scholarship Dinner.  It was truly an honor to be part of such a meaningful evening. The Foundation does incredible work bringing Citadel Cadets together with local alumni families who sponsor and support them during their time at the military college, providing not just financial assistance, but a genuine home away from home. The pride, tradition, and sense of community in the room were unmistakable, and it was a joy to create portraits that captured those connections and memories from such a special night.

As a professional photographer based in Charleston with over 25 years of experience, we specialize in photographing events, galas, fundraisers, receptions, and celebrations of all kinds. Beyond simply documenting your event, we also offer interactive photo entertainment that guests absolutely love.

Our most popular option is the Portrait Station. Think of it as a photo booth on steroids!!! Guests step into a full-size fashion studio, complete with professional lighting, a large backdrop, a high-end camera, and a skilled photographer guiding them through flattering, fun poses to help them look their absolute best. This isn’t a quick snap — it’s a true portrait experience!

Once the photos are taken, the images are instantly sent to our high-speed printers, where a beautiful 5×7 portrait is produced on the spot. Each print is mounted into an elegant black folio by our staff, and placed on a display table within seconds…ready for guests to pick up and take home with them. It’s a stylish, tangible keepsake from an unforgettable evening!

Plus…for instant sharing, guests can scan a QR code to receive a digital copy of their portrait directly on their phone. Posting to social media has never been easier!
