Husband and Wife Wedding Photography Team
Hey! We’re Jill + Aaron Osteen, newlyweds, photographers, avid travelers and owners of Aaron Nicholas Photography in South Carolina! We’re a husband + wife photography team, based in Charleston! We specialize in engagement sessions and outdoor / plantation style weddings in Charleston, but are always up for shooting a fun family session, anniversary, or event, and will never turn down a chance to travel to capture your big day or event!
We have quite the story in how we met! I (Jill) am originally from Orange County, California and Aaron is an Asheville, North Carolina native, but we met while teaching English in South Korea back in 2009! We both left our hometowns to move across the world to teach, photograph and travel the world! We met when we found out that the school cafeteria where Aaron was teaching English at was making the traditional Korean lunches for Jill’s school. We would comment once in a while on each other's facebook pages about how crazy the octopus soup or blood sausage was that was served for lunch that day! Those silly Facebook messages quickly turned into a close friendship and a plethora of photo outings around the city, and later evolved into an adventurous dating relationship! Our fairy tale continued when Aaron proposed at sunset, in the ocean, 3 years later, on a teeny tiny island in the Philippines! We planned and created all of the decorations for our entire wedding from across the globe and got married July 28th, 2012 in Aaron’s aunt and uncle's gorgeous historic home in North Carolina!
We’ve lived in Asia for the past 4 years, driven around on a cute lil’ scooter, traveled to 13 different countries in 4 years, eaten some of the strangest foods out there, lived in a 300 square foot studio apartment together above a Korean BBQ restaurant, taught over 6,000 English classes combined, taken thousands of photos, been on over 50 airplanes together, driven across the entire US over the course of 3 months, and have done it all while being each other's best friends and biggest fans! Now we’re Charleston locals and have spent the last 4 summer months living blocks from the beach on Folly Island, and have recently settled into our charming 1940's home in downtown Charleston, with our sweet dog Cash! We are truly blessed!.
