Meet Christine
Photo by Shehzad Ziaee
Bonjour, Ciao, Hola
My name is Christine (Scott) Gow and I’m so happy you’re here!
I live in Greenville, South Carolina with my husband, Dan, and our beagle, Athena. The three of us have visited beautiful places in every corner of South Carolina, to include all 47 of our state parks. Sometimes we wear hiking boots, sometimes we wear dress shoes, and sometimes we’re barefoot in the surf.
Part of being happy with your pictures is enjoying the day and the experience, which looks different for everyone. Whether you’re looking for a photographer for your intimate wedding or just a photo session with you and your partner, I’ll help make your photos perfectly reflect a unique and amazing day. No matter how far you and your partner deviate from tradition, I’m happy that you’re doing things your way. I want your photos to show what makes you different from everyone else, has vibrant colors, and takes advantage of the beauty of wherever you are.

Fun Facts:
My sister and I were born with red hair, even though our grandma was Asian. It came from our great-grandparents, and nobody else in our extended family has it.
I love fruit, especially berries and lemons.
My socks never match and they’re usually bright colors.
I love languages! I’m conversational in French, Italian, and Spanish; and I’ve learned a little Russian and Irish Gaelic.
When I was in college, I was an extra in a movie with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. I barely got any screen time, but I had some fun 1940s costumes!

Frequently Asked Questions
What do I receive after the wedding/session?
You will receive an online gallery with edited digital files for you to download. Your gallery is connected to my favorite print lab, where you can buy good quality prints of your favorite photos. Then we can design a durable, beautiful, and organized album to tell the whole story of the day. Read More
What should I wear for my session?
This is covered in the portrait guide you’ll receive before your session. You can also check out some tips in this post or get some inspiration from my Pinterest.
Can I bring my dog?
Any animal is welcome as long as they won’t cause problems and someone is there to help when the animal isn’t in the photo. Read More
Should we reschedule if it’s cloudy?
We might if our session is in the mountains and we’ll be above the clouds. Otherwise, a cloudy day is just as good in its own way! Read More
What if I just want a few photos?
You deserve (and will probably want) more than just a few photos. I don’t want you to rush through things or miss any important moments, so I know how long it normally takes.
How should I pay you?
For a wedding day, a retainer is due with the signed contract within two weeks of booking and the remaining balance is due one month before the wedding day. You will receive an invoice that can be paid online.
How long have you been doing this?
I started learning photography my senior year of high school. I was part of the photography club at Clemson and began to pursue it professionally after I graduated from college in 2015. After a few years of doing portraits and selling wall art, I got engaged and married, which led me to love working with other couples who want to do things a little differently.
