Awarded Best of Zola
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. As a bride and groom who were extremely camera shy, she made us feel totally comfortable the entire time and the photos turned out better than we could have ever imagined. We still keep in touch with her and can’t recommend her enough! Lindsay is the absolute best all around.

From start to finish, working with Zoom Wedding Studio was a dream. Our experience with them was that they were responsive (operationally we worked the most before and after the wedding with Helen and she was fantastic). Our photographers Mary and Joanne and videographer Denis were total professionals and guided us through the evening wonderfully, even though my husband and I are quite awkward in front of cameras.

Awarded Best of Zola
We booked Christina for family photos years ago and I remember being so surprised at how she made any of them come out between the weather and our crazy dog. When it came time to get married there wasn’t even a question on who we wanted to book. Christina exceeds expectations as a photographer. From timeline assistance to making sure every detail is sorted she is right there by your side during the planning process and the actual wedding day. Offering an engagement photo session made us feel even more comfortable with her and allowed us to enjoy our wedding day even more. We knew the prompts, we knew her and while photos are not always my husband’s preference, we have so much fun working with Christina. She delivers on all her promises, including sneak peaks and previews in such a short time! Her photos are nothing short of amazing. One of my favorite things about working with Christina is the pose and location changes. Often times, wedding photos feel like a “copy and paste” with different people. She makes sure she delivers you timeless, beautiful and very different pictures. I have recommended multiple people to Christina and I will continue to!

My husband and I moved to South Carolina 5 years ago. We spent 2 years in North Augusta along the Savannah River, where I met some wonderful clients, turned friends. We moved to the Charleston area for his job, and I took a break from my photography business to focus on school. I have a professional background in crime scene photography as an investigator, and I've been active in portrait photography for well over 10 years! I love taking outdoor natural light photos and try to provide galleries with very minimal edits to preserve authenticity of the moment.

Stephanie is absolutely amazing to work with! We couldn’t be more happy with the quality of our photos. We used Stephanie for our son’s Senior pictures and turned around and immediately booked her for his prom photos as well. We were so impressed with the work and time that she puts into these photo sessions, not to mention her amazing turn around time of getting sneak peeks and photos back to you! We would highly recommend The Foto Goat and will be booking again for family pictures!
