Custom Photo Slates for Charleston, South Carolina
The place people come to say I do.
Handcrafted one at a time in Coshocton, Ohio — and shipped to Charleston, South Carolina.
A wedding city with a long memory
Charleston has been a wedding destination for longer than most cities have existed. Cobblestone lanes, church steeples over the rooftops, live oaks draped in moss, water everywhere you look, and the light off the harbor in the late afternoon. Couples come from all over the country to stand in this city and promise each other forever.
Then they go home and the album lives on a phone. We take the photograph that mattered most — the vows, the first look, the whole family gathered on the piazza — and print it permanently onto natural slate, one piece at a time, by hand, in Coshocton, Ohio. Real stone, raw chiseled edges, standing on its own easel. It belongs in a house with this much history.
From our Ohio workshop to the Lowcountry
Let us be straight with you, because it matters: we are not a Charleston business and we will never pretend to be. Albritton's Art™ is a single workshop in Coshocton, Ohio. We ship — to Charleston, Mount Pleasant, Summerville, James Island, West Ashley, North Charleston, Daniel Island, Folly Beach, Isle of Palms, and anywhere else in the Lowcountry.
Keepsakes that are especially meaningful here lean on love and lineage. Wedding keepsakes for the couple and a matched piece for each set of parents. Anniversary slates built from a wedding photograph taken fifty years ago, which is often the piece that makes someone cry. Southern family heritage pieces — four generations in one frame with the family name and the years under it. And memorials, kept gentle and unhurried, for the people whose stories the family refuses to lose.
Handcrafted in Coshocton, Ohio · shipped to Charleston, South Carolina. Every slate is made by hand, one at a time, in a single workshop — there is no second location and no storefront in Charleston.
Keepsakes That Carry Meaning In The Lowcountry

- ✦Anniversary slates, including milestone years made from a wedding photograph from decades ago
- ✦Southern family heritage pieces — multiple generations, a family name, and the years beneath
- ✦Engagement and proposal pieces from a photograph taken on the water or in a garden
- ✦Graduations from area high schools, colleges, and arts programs
- ✦Memorials for parents and grandparents, with names, dates, and a verse or a line they always said
- ✦Pet keepsakes — the porch dog or the lap cat, with their name and years
Real finished pieces
What yours will look like
Every one of these is a real slate we made, photographed on its display stand. The stone is split from nature, so no two edges are ever the same.
How it works
Four simple steps, one lasting keepsake.
Send us your photo
Text or email the digital photo you want on slate — the original file from your camera or gallery, if you can find it. Higher resolution prints better, but send what you have and we will tell you honestly how it will look on the stone.
We prepare the design — you approve it first
We lay out the photo, and any names, dates, or words you would like with it. We show it to you before anything is made. Nothing is printed until you say it is right.
Printed on stone, hand-finished in Coshocton
Once you approve it, the image is printed onto natural slate and hand-finished in our Coshocton, Ohio workshop. Because the stone is split from nature, every chiseled edge is a little different — no two pieces are alike.
Shipped to your door
Your finished keepsake is boxed with its display stand and sent to your address, ready to set out the moment you open it. Nothing to frame, nothing to assemble.
