Who we are

At Purple Iris Media, we are a family-owned photography and (soon to be offering videography) company based in beautiful Charleston, South Carolina.
Built on a passion for capturing life's most meaningful moments, we believe that every story deserves to be preserved with care, creativity, and heart.
As a husband-and-wife team, we bring a personal touch to every session, blending artistic vision with genuine connection. Whether it's through timeless photographs or cinematic video, we are honored to help you hold onto the moments that matter most.

  • Debra Bigelow

    FOUNDER

    Ever since I was young, I've been drawn to photography — the way a single photo can hold an entire story, a feeling, or a person frozen in time.
    Purple irises have always been my favorite flower. They're beautiful, meaningful, and a reminder of my children, who bring that same beauty into my life.
    Through Purple Iris Media, I’m here to help you hold onto your memories just like I hold onto mine; with care, love, and a camera.

    CO-FOUNDER

    Photography, to me, is more than just taking pictures—it's about freezing time and holding onto the moments that matter most. Whether it's the laughter of friends, the quiet connections between family, or the energy of a special event, each photo tells a story that deserves to be remembered. I love being able to capture those real, genuine moments that people can look back on for years to come. It’s an honor to help preserve memories that bring joy, meaning, and connection.
