Hi! I'm Tracy and I'm a photographer based out of Charleston, SC specializing in weddings and fine art portraiture. I travel all over the world photographing the beautiful experience that is a wedding. When I'm not photographing I'm hanging out with my husband Lance and our son Evander...who you will probably see much too often on this blog! You can follow me on Twitter here. I hope you enjoy looking at my work as much as I enjoy creating it!
For all photo inquries please email me at: tracy@tracyturpen.com. And in case you haven't seen it, my main website is here.
Lauren and Drew, the aftermath! Trash the Dress: 4th place in the WPJA quarterly contest. I’m so flattered to have my work featured among all these incredible photographers. You can view the results here.
JUDGES COMMENTS: Nice expression, color and the bride and groom really looked like they had some fun.
JUDGES COMMENTS: Really fun, quirky and colorful, with a great expression. Bet there are some good outtakes from this shoot, too.
Amanda and Mark are expecting a little girl this Spring! I photographed their wedding in 2008 and am so excited for them and this new stage in their life. They are going to make incredible parents. Last week I met up with Amanda, her mom Ronee, Mark, and of course their little dog Grady for some pictures of the expectant family. This is going to be one lucky little lady.
- these are STUNNING! she looks radiant, what a beautiful family!
- Their little dog is sooooo cute!!!! Absolutely gorgeous photos.
- LOVE these! Their little dog looks JUST like my Oli :) Great work!
Anna and Eric had no idea that when they picked their engagement session date of Feb. 12th that it would be the first significant snowstorm Charleston has seen in 20 years. Lucky for me, Anna and Eric were up for braving the elements. We called each other up the night before excited as five year old girls about the snow starting to fall outside and decided to start the session at sunrise…it was a good move because most of it was melted by the afternoon! It was a privilege to spend the morning documenting their love and I can’t wait for their wedding this October.
- Amazing Tracy!! I love these! WOW!!
- Tracy! I can not believe how great our engagement pictures came out!!!!! I absolutely love them! Thank you so much for playing in the snow with us!!! Eric and I could not be more excited about the pictures! Best Valentines EVER!

This post goes right along with the anniversary post from below! Without Katie, Lance and I never would have met! She was my flatmate who introduced Lance and I when we were all studying abroad in Christchurch, New Zealand. Katie is one of the most creative and adventurous individuals that I know…and I feel so lucky to call her a close friend.
