Highly recommend for an intimate and high-quality experience for wedding rehearsal and cocktail hours. Ellery and team were nothing short of perfect. She was very prompt and organized, making our entire evening seamless and stress-free. The food was nothing short of outstanding, all guests were overly impressed with the quality. The team was also very flexible with us, bringing out more food than we anticipated as we had guests arriving late due to travel delays and were unable to dine prior to the cocktail hour. We loved it so much that we ended up extending the party because everyone was having such a great time. La Cave was the perfect size for an intimate celebration for about 90 guests and 40 for our rehearsal dinner. Highly recommend for hosting a rehearsal dinner and or cocktail hour.

The music was great; he learned our first dance song perfectly; the selection of music meant there was something for everyone; and he even had tarps to put up to keep the music going as the rain came down. Absolutely professional and a joy to work with. Plus, a bunch of my musician friends from around town recommended Travis and said he's fun to play with. You'll think so too. Thanks, Travis!

We bring two generations of artistry, intuition, and heart to every celebration. Our couples love beautiful light, intimate moments, and weddings that feel unmistakably like them. If that sounds like you, we'd love to be part of your story.

Awarded Best of Zola
Laura and Rachel absolutely blew us away in every single way. From the very beginning, the two of them made us feel more like their family than simply clients who were paying them for a service. It took us less than 24 hours after our first meeting with them to know they were who we wanted on our wedding day, and I am SO glad we did. They made us feel totally comfortable in front of the camera and more than that, they made it FUN. We felt special and joyful and so full of love the entire time we worked with them. They made our day flow flawlessly, keeping us on track while still letting us ENJOY the day. They just went above and beyond in every way - whether it be getting down on their knees to help me switch into my reception shoes or running around cocktail hour to find the friend who was in charge of bustling my dress, they did so much more than just take our photos. But those photos… let me tell you, when I first saw our sneak previews, I full on cried. And the full gallery, OH MAN. I don’t know how they managed to perfectly capture every emotion we felt that day while still making us look amazing (my husband and I were definitely ugly crying for a good portion of our first look couples portraits!), but I can’t even put into words what it felt like to look at those photos for the first time. Simply put - we’re obsessed with these two. Laura and Rachel have our business for LIFE. I’m already trying to plan a ten year vow renewal just so we can share the day with them again! (Kidding, but not really ;) ). Take it from me - hiring these two will be the easiest and best decision you will make during your wedding planning process. We love you, Laura and Rachel!!!

We are an easy-going team that can roll with the punches when necessary while also making decisive decisions throughout the day. We offer multiple levels of service for photography and even offer videography as well.

I literally just finished texting Krista that she is the absolute best human ever after looking at my wedding album for the first time. The teasers were incredible, but after looking through the entire gallery, I am ABSOLUTELY FLOORED with the photos. My husband and I eloped in Charleston from Maryland and I contacted easily 15 photographers. Several of them were at least twice the price and their quality paled in comparison to Krista and her all star team. After having our initial phone call, I knew I had to have Krista be a part of our wedding. We chatted for an hour and I felt like we were friends from another life and it turned out we had very similar lives and just completely hit it off. She is tell it like it is, but insanely professional at the same time which is VERY hard to pull off. She is a ray of sunshine, genuinely adores what she does and gives all of herself to make sure she delivers and she CRUSHES it. Stephanie was absolutely amazing too and Krista's husband and his partner created the most magnificent wedding video for us.

We were amazed at how seamlessly she knew exactly where to be, what to capture, and how to create the perfect atmosphere. Thank you, Luca , for making our engagement unforgettable. You truly have an eye for creating timeless memories!

Hi, I’m Shannon! I’m a wandering photographer and a hopeless romantic; love stories are my inspiration, and being out in nature gives me life. After 10 years working in graphic design + product development, I’m finally following my heart to full-time photography, and I’m never looking back. With family in the Southeast, Midwest, Southwest, and Northwest USA, and friends located around the world, I have an outstanding flexibility (and passion) for travel to any destination of your dreams.

To say Shannon is a pleasure to work with is an understatement. She was always easy to talk with and kept in touch the months leading up to my wedding. The day before the wedding she was proactive and met with me to scope out the venue, noting all of the places that was important to us but more importantly, was very knowledgeable on what locations would work best for views and lighting. On the day of the wedding her expertise truly showed! Shannon was very professional but also down to earth and kept the day fun! She helped us with poses as the groom & I weren’t sure what we needed to do and they turned out perfect! After the wedding, she worked quickly to get all of our beautiful pictures back in a very timely manner! Shannon gave us pictures that will last a lifetime, she is an amazingly talented individual and the work she produces is truly remarkable!

Marley Photography is based out of Charleston, SC. Rhett Marley studied to become a professional photographer, and Alicyne, his wife, is his assistant. Together they have photographed over 400 weddings across the east coast. They are currently booking for all of 2023 and 2024. Rhett is an easygoing photographer who desires to capture photos that look natural, relaxed, and breathtaking.

Awarded Best of Zola
Marley Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for both our engagement session and wedding day. From our very first conversation through the final delivery, Rhett was friendly, transparent, and incredibly responsive to all of our questions. The quality of his work is bright, creative, and colorful, and he was always open-minded and enthusiastic about our more spontaneous ideas (including taking him around downtown Charleston on a golf cart in the cold!). On our wedding day, Rhett made everyone feel comfortable and at ease, and he was able to pivot effortlessly when moments unfolded unexpectedly. We had all been admiring a patch of beautiful flowers, and he quickly captured a truly special moment there. We would highly recommend Marley Photography to any couple looking for a talented, personable photographer who will go above and beyond to help bring their wedding vision to life.

We had an amazing experience with Reflections Media Carolinas for both our photography and videography services. From the beginning, we felt like we were getting everything we wanted by booking both services as part of the same package, and the value was well worth it. Our videographer, Chacie, and photographer, Allison, were professional, kind, and incredibly supportive of our vision for the day. What mattered most to us was capturing the authenticity, joy, and love that surrounded our wedding so that our friends, family, and future selves could experience our love story for years to come. They absolutely delivered. The photos and video beautifully reflect the emotions, connections, and special moments that made our day so meaningful. One thing we especially appreciated was how well Chacie and Allison worked together. Having collaborated before, they fed off each other’s energy seamlessly and functioned as a cohesive team throughout the day. Their teamwork helped everything flow naturally and allowed us to feel comfortable and present rather than feeling like we were constantly being posed or directed. There was one hiccup involving our package. We had requested additional coverage time for our videographer, but due to a miscommunication, both our photographer and videographer were booked for extra time. Thankfully, with the help of our incredible wedding coordinator, everything worked itself out and did not negatively impact our day. Overall, we were extremely pleased with our experience and with the final products we received. If you’re looking for a team that genuinely cares about capturing the heart of your wedding day while providing a professional and enjoyable experience, we would absolutely recommend Reflections Media Carolinas. We are so grateful to have these memories preserved in a way that feels authentic to us

Hey there! I’m Sydney — a mother, creative, coffee lover, and passionate storyteller behind the lens. I serve couples with a creative, emotive, documentary-driven approach to wedding photography. I specialize in capturing real connection, genuine emotion, and the unfiltered magic of your day. My work leans into natural light, mood, and atmosphere and isn’t overly posed or traditional — it’s artistic, organic, and meant to feel timeless. I love walking with couples from engagement sessions to the final send-off, helping them feel at ease and truly present.

We're so happy with how our wedding pictures turned out! Sydney and her second shooter captured so many beautiful moments, and we've had so much fun looking through them and sharing them with our family. She was very communicative throughout the whole process - from booking to the engagement shoot to the wedding day itself. She made sure to get every picture that we requested and in the style that we communicated. Can't recommend her enough!!!
