Carson Lillard Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (23 reviews)
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Charleston, SC

Hi, I’m Carson, and I’m based in Columbia, SC! I have been photographing weddings and elopements for over seven years across the country. I recently moved to South Carolina from California, where I lived in Yosemite National Park. While my primary focus is wedding photography, I am also a biologist, which brought me to this beautiful state. I love expressing my creative side through photography and witnessing the joy it brings to my clients. I specialize in a blend of editorial and documentary-style photography. I aim to capture natural moments as the day unfolds, but I’m also happy to give gentle guidance when needed.

Carson Lillard Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding day. From the beginning, their communication was thorough, helpful, and insightful, which put us at ease during the planning process. On the day of, Carson made an obnoxious trek to join us at our Airbnb and was so calm, cool, and collected - just what I needed as a nervous mess! Her relaxed and experienced demeanor was invaluable. The quality of her work is truly unique, affordable, and beautiful. I'm so glad we found Carson for our big day - she was a great fit for our elopement at Yosemite!

Lindsay was by far the best vendor of our whole wedding. She made the day so enjoyable and stress-free with her amazing energy and talent. Aside from being fabulous at her job, she is so thoughtful and lovely.

Christina was so organized and easy to work with for our engagement session and wedding! My husband does not like getting photos taken, but after our engagement session with Christina said “okay that was kind of fun”. She makes it easy to be in front of the camera, and took so much time prior to our wedding to make sure she had all the details from the timeline, to family groupings, to must have photos figured out. And every single photo we got is amazing- we’ve gotten so many compliments on them! We would recommend her 1000 times over!

Lee Photo and Video, we cannot say enough amazing things about them, and recommend them enough. We had both photography and videography for our wedding on 12.12.24. We say this in the nicest way possible but we didn't even know they were there at times of the day, which for us was amazing so we didn't feel too overwhelmed. We searched for a long while before booking with Lee Photo and Video and from our first consultation we knew right away that it was a perfect fit. The photos and video that they captured was beyond amazing and brought us to happy tears. . They captured every aspect and detail better than could have imagined. We are thrilled to have had such an amazing experience and to have these memories too look back on for forever. We will forever be grateful for having booked them for such a special part of our day and look forward to the days we get to book them for future family photos and such. We will never be able to say thank you enough for giving us such wonderful photos and videos to have, so once again thank you! Love Mr & Mrs Borzeka

She captured every moment big and small - and we notice new details or expressions on our guests' faces each time we look through our album. It's so meaningful to have these memories captured on both digital and film for us to reflect on for the rest of our lives and to share with others. Not only is her work amazing - but she is truly an amazing person as well!
