Experienced Charleston-based team
Part 107 certified drone pilot
About Us
We are Karl and Clarissa, a filmmaking couple, and owners of Elephant Memories wedding films. While our wedding films are our priority, we love to shoot photos and fly drones whenever we can,
With many years in the Charleston wedding business, we have a full understanding of the flow, etiquette, and pace of a wedding day and also understand the often narrow windows for capturing that special moment on camera.
Whether it's the reception details, venue wide shots or ceremony shots, we can help elevate your wedding or event photo or video deliveries with gorgeous aerial coverage.
Why Drone Photography?
Aerial photography and video has become very popular in recent years for good reason - the unique perspective adds so much depth to an event's coverage.

Showcase dramatic landscapes and venues
-
Drone coverage is becoming more expected from clients, but often is impossible with the regular demands of a wedding or event timeline

2-hour minimum and flexible timing makes it an easy addition

There are no words to truly convey how incredible Clarissa and Karl are. Their talent is Oscar worthy and we feel honored to have had our day captured by them. We are continuously told that our wedding video was the best video people have ever seen- and we couldn't agree more. On top of their impeccable craftsmanship, they themselves, are one of the most incredible couples to be around. They make you feel like family and truly share in the joy and celebration of your day. We hope to have them in our lives forever!
