A Day On The Island
the Oaks
The big live oaks are the reason this coast photographs the way it does. Their limbs make a huge soft shade, so even at noon your faces stay gentle and your family formals look like a painting.

The Island And The Bluff
Hilton Head gives you the ocean, the marsh and oaks older than the island's roads. My job is to put you in the right one at the right hour.
I lived on Hilton Head for many years, and the Lowcountry is my specialty. About 400 of my 450 weddings have been on this coast, under moss draped oaks and in that golden hour light. Sea Pines, the beach, Palmetto Bluff and Oldfield in Bluffton, all of it.

Your Photographer
hi, I am Vitor
I lived on Hilton Head for many years, and the Lowcountry is my specialty. In 14 years I have photographed 450 weddings, about 400 of them here in the Lowcountry. I have been photographing and filming weddings at Palmetto Bluff for over 10 years, and I am proud to be an official preferred vendor of Montage Palmetto Bluff. Photography and film are available together or separately.
I will make you look beautiful, and I will get you back to your people.

Then
the Tent
A sailcloth tent glows when the sun gets low. I always try to catch one from outside before the guests go in, and then again after dark.

Or
the Beach
Vows on the sand need a free permit from the Town, and some beaches are closed for now. I will tell you which ones work and when the light is right.

And Across The River
the Bluff
Palmetto Bluff and Oldfield are moss, marsh and quiet roads, just across the bridge and a world away from the beach.
See BlufftonAbout 400 weddings in the Lowcountry taught me that every venue on this coast has different light and its own rules. I already know them, so on your wedding day you never have to think about any of it.
Where I Would Look First

Plan Around The Light
when is your Date
In May the sun sets around 8:15 PM at Harbour Town. I would start your portraits around 7:15 PM, while the light is still soft under the oaks.
