hey I'm Sydney

You are the story... I get to be the storyteller

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 - because who really knows what they actually want to do at age 18 right!? - 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, adorable 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! I'm also a big kid at heart who's simultaneously a bit of an 'old soul'. I love antique stores and victorian decor. Generally, I'm also a homebody.  
Some things I share in common with my photo clients is our love of color, an appreciation for thoughtful details, and having a quirky, nerdy side like knowing random quotes from the movie, 'Nacho Libre' and loving 90s Disney movies.

I am looking forward to making photo magic with you soon!
