Charlotte wedding photographer
Your wedding day, as it actually happened.
I'm Delani McKee, a documentary wedding photographer based in Charlotte, North Carolina. I stay in the background, follow the day as it unfolds, and come back with the moments you were too busy to notice — the laughter in the getting-ready room, the look across the aisle, the dance floor at the end of the night.
Weddings and elopements are photographed on both 35mm film and digital and are custom quoted around your date, location and how much of the day you'd like covered.

What wedding coverage looks like
Every quote is built around your day. Most couples talk to me about:
Full-day coverage
getting ready through the reception
Intimate weddings
smaller guest lists and shorter timelines
Elopements
just the two of you, or a handful of people
Film throughout
35mm frames mixed into the whole day
Engagement session
a $400 session before the wedding to get comfortable

Frequently asked
How much does a wedding photographer cost in Charlotte?
Wedding and elopement coverage is custom quoted around your date, location and hours of coverage. Send your details through the inquiry form and I'll reply within 48 hours with availability and a quote.
What is documentary wedding photography?
Documentary wedding photography focuses on real moments as they happen rather than long posed sessions. I give gentle direction for family photos and portraits, then step back and photograph the day as it unfolds.
Do you photograph weddings on film?
Yes. I shoot weddings on a mix of 35mm film and digital, so the gallery has the warmth and grain of film alongside dependable digital coverage.
Do you photograph elopements and small weddings?
Yes — elopements and intimate weddings are some of my favorite days to photograph, in Charlotte, across Colorado or at a destination.
Do you travel outside Charlotte for weddings?
Yes. I'm based in Charlotte, available across Colorado — Boulder, Denver, Fort Collins and Vail — and travel worldwide for destination weddings.
