hey I'm Sydney

thanks for stopping by!

I'm Sydney Danielle Bien-Aime, the lady behind the lens of Radiant Photography - and I've got to say that being a photographer has been such a rewarding journey! For over a decade, I've been blessed to capture timeless moments for amazing people. As I grew up in South Carolina, I've learned to appreciate the beauty each season brings while finding lovely photo locations to shoot in. My history behind the camera started in high school, then bloomed in college after I spontaneously shot my first wedding for a friend. After changing my mind throughout school and working part time at a pediatric office, I kept a passion for photography. Countless photo shoots have happened since then, and here we are today!

Fun fact, in case you were wondering, my last name is French for 'good friend' (pronounced "bee/in/uh/me") My husband and I have been married for over a decade, and we're happy owners of an irresistible lilac French bulldog named Lumiere! (named after the candlestick from Disney's 'Beauty & The Beast') We also share a decade together of being youth pastors and leading a small local church. A little more about me is that I am a follower of Jesus, and I have a strong sweet tooth! I'm a big kid at heart who's simultaneously a bit of an 'old soul'. I love charming antique stores and vintage, victorian decor. Generally, I'm a homebody - but one of my fav ways to create & connect with others is through photography.

Some things I share in common with my photo clients is our love of color; an appreciation for thoughtful details; having a quirky side like knowing random quotes from the movie, 'Nacho Libre'; and we may also share a sentimental side if you're easily brought to tears like me during father daughter/mother son dances. Looking forward to making photo magic with you soon!
