Jonathan Doyel Photography

A storybook elopement at sunrise in one of the most beautiful places in the Southeast. Congratulations to Hunter and Alaura. A beautiful moment in time captured for all of time.

One of the beautiful things about being a wedding photographer is getting to participate in one of the most important events in a family’s experience. Lori and Levi welcomed me not only as their trusted photographer but also as a guest, and I enjoyed every moment of the experience! One of my favorite parts of their wedding was the laughter. Lori and Levi brought an enthusiasm to the day that was infectious and invigorating.

“I spent lots of time reading reviews and determining who I wanted to capture my special day. Since the first conversation I had with Jonathan I knew he was the person who would be perfect to capture our special day. All I can say is WOW. I’m so thankful he was able to capture our special day, and I will have amazing pictures I will cherish for a lifetime!” - Dani

Imagine spending three days getting to know two wonderful families and a bevy of enthusiastic friends. This was Kaeleigh and Francesco’s wedding. The weekend ended up being as unique and beautiful a wedding as I’ve ever had the privilege of being a part of. The house was decked in everything sweet, the weather was perfect, and the spontaneous speechmaking was abundant and enthusiastic. I cannot say enough about Kaeleigh, Francesco, their families and friends. If you ever have a chance to meet them your faith in humanity will be bolstered.

There are very few times in life that change the course of your history, and it was my delight and privilege to witness one of these moments for Ali and Tom. The event was, of course, a complete surprise for Ali, and the setting was as beautiful as one could ask for. Congratulations on your engagement, Ali and Tom.

Adventure drives this awesome couple. In one of the first conversations I had with Ben, I asked him why they had moved to South Carolina. The answer was because they wanted to live life more fully, and if you spend much time around them you’ll feel their zest for life as well.

This couple was among the most enjoyable to shoot as I have experienced. There is no shortage of fun and antics with Savanah and Miles. I was most definitely disappointed when the shoot ended. Congratulations on your engagement, Savanah and Miles!

Sarah and Angus have all the optimism and brightness of a young couple and the maturity of those well above their age. Spending time around them is a breath of fresh air - everyone should experience a little fresh air!

Nina and Amen were an absolute delight! It was a delight to experience the Togolese culture, food, and dancing. I’ll never forget their beautiful wedding and delightful family.

Goddess of grit, goodness, and graciousness. That is Mignon. I had the opportunity to take these shots on a beautiful Spring morning and had a great time doing it.

Mary is more than meets the eye. Working with her on this shoot was absolutely delightful. She is bold and works hard at her craft.

Thomas was one of those ships passing in the night. Literally. He was a guest in my home for one night. I had never met him before, but when I saw the character in his face, I asked him if we could do a shoot.

Siblings. But not only siblings - siblings beginning the hustle in the modeling world. It takes hard work, determination, and enthusiasm, and these two stuck it out on a warm day in South Carolina.

Traveling is a constant adventure. When I travel I take the path less followed and find the true flavor of a country. Discovering a culture much like the one I call home, but with subtle differences of flavor is a part of exploring the wonders of earth. More travels to come…

There’s not much I enjoy more than a good road trip, and the place I call home has much and more to offer. As long as there is road or path to get there, I’ll follow it, camera in hand.

I’ve called South Carolina home for nearly 20 years. From the mountains to the sea it’s full of beautiful places, delicious food, and fascinating history. If you find yourself in the Palmetto State, stop by, have some iced tea, and enjoy the warmth.
