Behind the Lens ofa
Photographerin Myrtle Beach
Myrtle Beach family photographer serving Surfside Beach and Pawleys Island. Husband and dad of two girls, with more than 20 years behind the camera.
Seventeen years together with Natallia and two daughters at home shape my Myrtle Beach family photography. I know what it takes to get a toddler, a teenager and two tired parents to look at the camera, so I keep every session relaxed and let real moments happen. I focus on the hugs, the laughing and the quiet in between, the photographs families will still love in twenty years.
We photograph Myrtle Beach weddings together, with two angles on every moment. Natallia is beside me for the getting ready details, the ceremony, the toasts and the last dance, so nothing is missed while I stay close to the couple. I personally photograph every senior and family session, from your first message to your final gallery.
I also run Belman & Co., a Myrtle Beach website design company, which keeps my own photography website fast and easy to find for families searching for a Myrtle Beach photographer. After more than twenty years on this coast, I still love the light on the marsh, the first look under the oaks and the moment a family finally forgets the camera.
Serving the Grand Strand
Myrtle Beach
Family Photographer
Based in Myrtle Beach, I photograph families, weddings, seniors, engagements and couples along the Myrtle Beach coast. I live in Murrells Inlet, so this coast is my home as well as my work. See how I work and what to expect, from the first message to the finished gallery.
Who is the Myrtle Beach photographer behind Pasha Belman Photography?
I am the owner and lead photographer of Pasha Belman Photography, and I have been photographing on this coast since 2005. I photograph families, weddings, high school seniors, engagements and headshots from North Myrtle Beach to Pawleys Island, and my wedding photography has been featured in Martha Stewart Weddings, Style Me Pretty and Bridal Guide. I live in Murrells Inlet with my wife, Natallia, and our two girls, so this coast is my home as well as my work. With a 5.0 rating across 288 Google reviews, I treat every session as personal, and I answer every inquiry myself.
Why choose a local Myrtle Beach family photographer?
I know where the light lands on Surfside Beach, Garden City, Myrtle Beach State Park and Huntington Beach State Park in every season. I watch the tide and the sunset, and I choose the beach access that keeps your session calm, with room to move and no crowds in your frame. That local knowledge lets me plan your Myrtle Beach family photos around real conditions, not guesses, and it means I can suggest a better time or a better spot when the weather changes. After more than twenty years here, this coast is a place I know by heart.
What can I expect from a Myrtle Beach family photo session?
I keep it relaxed. I give simple direction, let your kids move, and photograph the hugs, the laughing and the walking in between. Most families arrive a little nervous and leave having had fun. Before your session I tell you when to arrive and where to meet, so the only thing left to do is enjoy each other, and your finished photographs arrive in a private online gallery. See my Myrtle Beach family photography page for sessions and galleries.
Where do I photograph around Myrtle Beach?
My sessions take place at Myrtle Beach State Park, Surfside Beach, Garden City Beach, Murrells Inlet, Huntington Beach State Park, Brookgreen Gardens, Pawleys Island, DeBordieu Beach and North Myrtle Beach. Each one gives a different look, from wide open sand and dunes to marsh boardwalks and live oaks, and I help you choose the setting that fits your family or your story. I also travel to Charleston and Kiawah Island when you ask.
What is my Myrtle Beach wedding photography like?
I photograph weddings with Natallia as my second photographer, so the ceremony, the toasts and the dance floor are covered from two angles. I plan your wedding day with you, build a timeline around the ceremony and the light, and stay calm so you can stay present. I have photographed at Brookgreen Gardens, Caledonia Golf and Fish Club, DeBordieu Colony Club, Wachesaw Plantation and the Dunes Golf and Beach Club. Explore my Myrtle Beach wedding photography.
How do I photograph high school seniors and engagements?
Seniors and couples get the same relaxed approach. We choose a location that fits your style, such as the dunes, a marsh boardwalk, a live oak alley or the pier at sunset, and I guide you through easy movement so you look like yourselves. For seniors, that means a session that feels more like a walk with a friend than a photo shoot. For engagements, it means time to simply be a couple, with a few quiet moments built in. See senior portraits and engagement sessions on the Grand Strand.
What makes my editing style different?
My editing keeps skin tones natural and the ocean the color it really was, and I avoid heavy filters and passing trends that date a gallery. The result is a gallery that still feels right years from now, and a look other Myrtle Beach photographers try to copy.
How do I book a Myrtle Beach photographer?
Send me your date, your location and the type of session through my contact form or call (843) 333-5301. I reply personally with availability and pricing, and I help you choose the best time and place for your Myrtle Beach photos. Fall and spring evenings and weekend wedding dates book early, so the sooner you write, the more choice you have.

My Style as a
Myrtle
Beach
Photographer
My Myrtle Beach photography is bright and true to color, built around the best light on the coast. My film inspired editing is a look no other Myrtle Beach photographer can replicate, although many try. Whether it is a family on the beach, a couple at their wedding or a senior at golden hour, I aim for the same thing: photographs that feel like you and still look beautiful twenty years from now.

Beach family portraits at Myrtle Beach State Park, Surfside Beach and Garden City, photographed in natural sunset light with relaxed direction for parents, children and grandparents, so every family gallery looks like your day. Multigenerational groups and large extended families are welcome, and I plan the session around the tide, the season and your group so everyone looks relaxed.
Weddings at Brookgreen and Pawleys Island
Wedding photography at Brookgreen Gardens, DeBordieu Colony Club and Pawleys Island, with Natallia as second photographer, so the first look, ceremony, portraits, reception and last dance are all covered from start to finish.

High School Senior Portraits on the Grand Strand
High school senior portraits on the beach, under live oaks and at golden hour along the coast, with a relaxed pace that helps every senior look natural, confident and completely like themselves, wherever we shoot.

Questions About Your Myrtle Beach Photographer
Who will photograph my family in Myrtle Beach?
I will. You work with me from your first message to your final gallery, and I plan your family session around the season, the tide and the sunset. I personally photograph every family session, so the person you email is the person standing on the beach with you. I know how the light lands on Surfside Beach, Garden City and Myrtle Beach State Park at different times of year. That is how I choose the spot and the hour that suit your family best.
Where do you photograph weddings near Myrtle Beach?
I photograph weddings at Brookgreen Gardens, Caledonia Golf and Fish Club, DeBordieu Colony Club, Wachesaw Plantation and the Dunes Golf and Beach Club, along with beach ceremonies in Pawleys Island, Myrtle Beach and Georgetown. From intimate ceremonies to larger celebrations, I plan the day around your venue and the light. Charleston and Kiawah Island are available on request. If your venue is not on this list, send it to me and I will plan around it.
Can you photograph extended family and large groups?
Yes. I photograph extended family portraits and large group sessions, from grandparents to cousins, with simple posing so everyone looks relaxed. Wide beaches like Myrtle Beach State Park, Surfside Beach and Pawleys Island give a big group plenty of room. I start with the full group, then move to smaller family portraits so every branch of the family gets its own photos. Send me the groupings you want ahead of time, and the session moves quickly and nobody is forgotten.
What is your wedding photography style?
My wedding style is natural and relaxed, with soft, film inspired color. I use natural light and quiet direction, so the ceremony, the portraits and the reception look the way the day felt. I keep my direction gentle, so couples and guests stay relaxed and the pictures show real moments. Couples who marry in Myrtle Beach often choose me for that calm, classic look.
What is your family photography style?
My family style is relaxed and natural, with soft light and clean color. I give relaxed direction and let your kids move, then photograph the hugs, the laughing and the walking in between. Grandparents, babies and teenagers all get the same calm approach, and I never force a smile. Families come to me for photos that feel natural and last for years.
Do you offer a second photographer for weddings?
Yes. Natallia joins me as second photographer, so the first look, the ceremony, the toasts and the last dance are all covered from different angles. Natallia and I have photographed weddings together for fifteen years, so we work as one team. Two photographers also let us capture both sides of the day, such as the groom getting ready while I photograph the bride. Ask me about adding a second photographer when you send your date and venue.
Where do you photograph family sessions near Myrtle Beach?
I photograph families at Myrtle Beach State Park, Surfside Beach, Garden City, Murrells Inlet, Huntington Beach State Park, Brookgreen Gardens, Pawleys Island, DeBordieu Beach and North Myrtle Beach. Charleston and Kiawah Island are available on request. I suggest the best beach access for your group and the time of day when the light is softest. If you are not sure which beach suits your family, tell me where you are staying and I will recommend one.
What’s included in your wedding photography packages?
Wedding collections include coverage planned around your timeline, a second photographer if you want one, personal planning with me and an online gallery of edited, high resolution images. I help you build a schedule for the ceremony, portraits and reception so nothing is rushed, and every collection is planned with you around your day. Send me your date and venue, and I will reply with details and pricing.
How do we book our Myrtle Beach family photographer?
Send me your date and location through the contact form or call (843) 333-5301. I reply personally to confirm availability, share pricing and answer your questions, and we reserve your session from there. Fall and spring evenings on the beach book early, so the sooner you write, the more choice you have of days and times.
Who will photograph my wedding in Myrtle Beach?
I will. I plan your wedding day with you and photograph it myself, from the getting ready moments to the last dance, with Natallia as my second photographer. We stay with you from the first look to the last dance. Whether you marry at Brookgreen Gardens, on the beach or at a venue nearby, you get one photographer who knows the area and the light.
