At that point you know that you have made an extremely gracious and happy client, one who will cherish our work/photos of them for many years to come.

  • Photojournalistic style

Capturing life's most cherished moments, our photography and videography services in South Carolina, North Carolina, and select areas of Georgia specialize in creating timeless memories. From elegant weddings and intimate elopements to captivating portraits and engaging events, we skillfully document each unique story with artistry and passion.

My husband and I were so grateful to be able to work with Jackson for our wedding day! He made the process so easy! I didn't have a lot of experience with weddings before my own, especially a backyard reception like the one I had, but Jackson was patient and kind and gave suggestions and recommendations all along the way. And all of our guests felt the same way about how patient and kind he was when they reflected afterwards! Throughout the process, he let us know exactly what to expect and captured all of the special moments! But beyond his professionalism and kindness, the quality of his work spoke volumes! The video came across like a movie trailer (this is what others have told me and I absolutely agree) and made our simple backyard wedding look like a grand affair! He captured the love, intimacy, and fun of that day, and I couldn't have asked for a better videographer! Thank you Jackson for making our wedding day even better, and I couldn't recommend him enough for your own wedding/party needs!

Taylor Rae Photography

5.0

Charleston, SC
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,800

It brings me so much joy to photograph two people in love. That’s why I adore working with couples who know that their marriage is about SO MUCH MORE than just their wedding day. It’s all the days that follow. It’s choosing your spouse each and every day. Your wedding day will be perfect, not because everything went according to plan, but because you said YES to the love of your life. And I see it as a huge honor when a couple chooses me to document such an important day in their lives! When past brides describe my style, they say words like, “joyful,” “romantic,” “warm,” “bright,” and “photos that actually look like me!”

If you are looking for a wedding photographer, look no further! Taylor is your woman! My husband is not a huge fan of having his photo taken, so my main concern was finding someone that would make him feel comfortable. Little did I know how much Taylor would calm my nerves on our wedding day. She is such a light, but fun presence and I think that is reflected in how natural our photos felt. They truly reflect us, our love and the feeling of our big day. The only trouble you'll have is figuring out which of the hundreds of amazing photos you want to print. Seriously, is there a limit to how many wedding photos you should display in your home? She is the best!

King Street Photo Weddings

Charleston, SC
  • Photojournalistic style

Taking pictures has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. People ask me all the time, what I do for a living? I respond I own King Street Photo Weddings. I am very blessed and honored to be an image-maker. My amazing team & I capture joyful, emotional, people at weddings.

I have worked with Michel & his team for many years. Michel is passionate but also a true master photographer. He creates images with his lighting techniques that in mine and most clients opinion are like no other. He pushes the boundaries and does not use ambient light in most cases and why his website and photos of his work are exemplar and superb. His business knowledge and service & 5 stars reviews are far above most wedding vendor capabilities and why he always mentions that he has been a wedding photographer for over 21 years plus. Need I say more...?

Priscilla Thomas Photography

5.0

Charleston, SC
  • Photojournalistic style

I was born on a U.S. Air Force base in Keflavik, Iceland, to parents native to Mississippi and Louisiana. My early childhood was spent in Alamogordo, NM, before my family returned to some southern comfort in Charleston, SC. Photography has been a part of my life since adolescence when I worked on the school newspaper and yearbook. During college, I contributed editorial op-ed pieces to The George Street Observer at the College of Charleston and continued to embrace photographic ventures. After college, I started freelancing in photography and writing in Charleston, SC.

Priscilla and Davis were the best to work with. As a pretty laid back bride with very little of my own input other than wanting beautiful pictures and memories, Priscilla captured EXACTLY what I asked for and more! She is amazing to work with and I highly recommend her! We love our photos

Chrisman Studios is a wedding photography studio based in Charleston, South Carolina. Since 2005, we’ve photographed 1000+ clients in 30+ countries. Our industry has recognized us with 250+ photography awards and we’ve been featured in publications around the world, including People Magazine and CNN. That means you can rest easy knowing the photos we create for you will be beautiful, meaningful, and spectacularly unique. We’d love to tell your story next.

Awarded Best of Zola
The Chrismans' superpower is their elevated professionalism and ability to make you feel like your best self. You could say I found my wedding photographers before I found my husband. I've known Ben and Erin for over 15 years. Over the years, I've worked with them numerous times over the years. Ben & Erin photographed my engagement session in Scottsdale, AZ. Then they photographed our wedding weekend in Lake Como, Italy. Every photo they took from our trip in Italy is my most prized possession! It was like having friends photograph the first most important day of my life. My pictures are emotional, sentimental, and vibrant. While I was living in the moment at my wedding, they were documenting moments I didn't even see happening. Today, I cherish the variety of pictures they captured of my Mom and me at my wedding, her happiest of times, and now, all I have left to remember her. She loved Ben & Erin because they are not just friendly people, they are intelligent, fun to be around, adventurous and kind-hearted people. Above all, they are the most communicative and creative photographers I have ever met. They always surpass my expectations. Next month, we will hire them to photograph our business headshots in Charleston, SC. I trust them to make me look good and capture my best-looking self (maybe even better than myself). They know the right thing to do in every moment. I wouldn't just recommend them, I'd tell you to hire them before they book up.

Madison Krupp Photography

Johns Island, SC
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,200

I’m Madison, but you can call me Maddy. You should know right off the bat, I’m not your typical wedding photographer. As a journalist, I was trained to see the story in everything. Now, as a photographer, I use storytelling to connect with people. And the stories I want to tell are adventurous, unbiased, natural, emotive love stories. So let’s skip the small talk. I want to hear about your biggest life hurdles, your aspirations, your journey, and the things that ignite your soul. Let’s skip the pomp and circumstance, too. If your dream is to marry your partner on a mountaintop, I’ll grab my hiking boots.

Oh my goodness... Madison Krupp is an absolute gem. She has the kindest heart, and makes you feel completely at ease! Having her take our wedding photos felt so easy and natural - she has such a calming way about her that almost makes you forget photos are even being taken! My husband and I had so much fun spending time posing, laughing, and really taking in those special moments together. I absolutely adore our wedding photos, and will treasure them forever. We couldn't of asked for a better person to photograph our day - she captured every moment so perfectly. In a professional setting, she is wonderful to work with as well. I work at a wedding venue and absolutely love when Maddy and I get the opportunity to work alongside each other at weddings + events. She is professional, warm, and cares deeply for her clients and her work. Thank you for all you do, MK!

I’m Matt! I am a Colorado wedding photographer living in Denver Colorado. I love documenting stories in the Rocky Mountains and all over the state.I believe that your wedding day is more than our time we spend together taking photographs. It’s about the moments you spend with your loved ones. The memories shared on the dance floor. It’s your parent giving their special piece of advice during speeches. All of these moments matter to me as much as they matter to you. I understand that you want to be able to cherish these memories and be able to share them with future generations. Marriage is a journey. Let’s document it together.

Besides marrying my husband, hiring Drzazga Photo as our photographer and videographer was the best decision I made! To say that Carly and Kasey were outstanding is an understatement.

More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

OLAS was wonderful to work with! They listened to what we wanted and fulfilled our wishes! Thank you to Peter for doing a fabulous job with the videography. He had more than one camera set up to get all the angles needed for the finished product. He also had a drone that we requested, which captured our beautiful venue from up above. Darcy and Hannah were wonderful to work with as well and answered my emails in a timely manner. Thank you to OLAS for being apart of our special day!

We are a wedding + elopement duo serving the Nashville area + some other special places that make us happy. We can’t wait to meet you! We started capturing weddings through covid when we were stuck at home and needed to find some way to be creative. Savannah went to school for videography and Jon is an OG drummer turned videographer that has really enjoyed getting to create. If we aren’t celebrating you and your love story, you can find us at the beach, probably eating some yummy food, and missing our fluff ball kitty at home. We are so easy going and love to be spontaneous with our plans.

Awarded Best of Zola
I could go on for quite some time about Hopkins Co & my wedding experience using them. Jon & Savannah are both talented & passionate about capturing moments, & it's evident every step of the way. Savannah was such a big help leading up to the wedding. She answered my many questions & always gave calm reassurance (which is super helpful in what can be a hectic planning period). My husband & I went into the day knowing the timeline & what to expect, and Hopkins Co totally overdelivered. Every moment of the day was captured so beautifully, and all of our guests still compliment us on our photos & video. If you're looking for a photographer who will make your day not only a breeze, but also a stunning collection of memories, LOOK NO FURTHER. They're it! If I could get married all over again, they would without a doubt be re-hired.

Miami, FL
  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Charleston, SC

We are traveling wedding photographer and videographer. For 2024, we have 70+ weddings booked in 21 different states. Our shooting style is photojournalistic, natural, CINEMATIC to traditional. Our editing and style depends. Very easygoing and flexible depending on the client's preference. Our team is dedicated in delivering memories.

My Husband and I got married April 14th, 2024 and didn't think we'd "need" a Videographer. This was the very last thing we added to our wedding planning.. yes, even after small things like arranging the seating chart, whether we wanted favors, etc. This by far was THE BEST DECISION WE MADE. We found Ledd Lens on Zola and inquired about their services about 2 months before the wedding. Usually, couples book videographers at least a year in advance. They asked what our budget was, what we were looking for and came back with 3 options to choose from. The prices were VERY AFFORDABLE and included their TRAVEL to Philadelphia. Having every moment on video to rewatch with our family or just alone is the best feeling after all the planning we did over 13 months. Randall was amazing! He had us choose 3 songs to use in our highlight video, but ended up using 1. The other 2, he chose, and they fit even better than the ones we thought would! He also threw in a few bonus footage as well. Absolutely amazing and professional company to work with. We are so happy!! Thank you Ledd Lens!

**We are new to Zola but not new wedding photographers.** Banker Creative is a small business consisting of myself Joe, and my wife Ashley. We are a Husband + Wife Creative Team that specializes in documenting weddings. We call Ohio home, but we are grateful to have the opportunity to continue to capture weddings all over the country. So far we have worked in Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Pennsylvania, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Colorado, Utah, Virgina, West Virginia and Washington DC. We can't wait to visit more states and experience new places!

Cannot recommend Joe Banker Photography and Videography enough! We hired them for our wedding and received a free engagement shoot in our package. My husband and I are very nervous and uncomfortable with our pictures being taken but Joe and Ashley immediately made us feel comfortable and confident. Our engagement pics were STUNNING! Because of this, we ended up extending our wedding package to include our rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. Joe and Ashley were part of our entire wedding weekend and were one of our favorite parts. They were calm, extremely professional, constantly being flexible with weather and lighting, and so accommodating to my husband and I and our entire bridal party.

I am a travel photographer based out of Louisville, Kentucky. I have always been the friend with the camera admiring those around me. I am truly captivated by people simply being people, always finding beauty in human connections and the REAL. My goal is to be a calming presence, help the day run smooth, and ensure everyone in front of the camera feels COMFORTABLE. I lean toward documentary style photography emphasizing what makes your love unique.

If you're in search of a photographer who will capture your wedding day seamlessly & eloquently...look no further. I can't rave enough about how beautiful our wedding day album turned out. From planned shots to the candids, it's exactly what I had envisioned. Katilin did such an awesome job of maneuvering around grabbing shots here and there and snapping shots of our day authentically. On top of it all, she was so friendly which made the experience even sweeter. It was easy to be comfortable around her and open up to the pictures. After the wedding day, sneak peek pictures were delivered promptly and she continued to keep us in the know of when to expect the full album. I would highly recommend her to any couple getting married!

Hey future newlyweds! I'm Jarrod, a wedding photographer that specializes in story telling. Tired of all the bright, overposed, cookie cutter sh*t you keep seeing? Let's create wedding images with real emotion, story, and intention to them. I know being in front of the camera can be awkward. That's why I choose not to pose couples, but instead prompt you to do something like "take off your shoes and run across the field" or " get inside the car and kiss everywhere except the lips". These prompts will help you feel comfortable and also help create candid images. Check out my website for more info :)

Jarrod was so professional and made it so easy and fun to take photos that captured our essence and our love. The photos of our special day are now displayed in our home and continue to be a priceless reminder of one of the best days of our lives. Can’t recommend Jarrod enough - thanks for everything 11/10 !!!

Our team prides ourselves on being professional third-wheels on your wedding day. We are perfect for those who thrive on love and connection, and are looking for bold and purposeful imagery. We have 2 wedding associates, 2 family photographers, and a husband and wife videography team

Maddy was absolutely INCREDIBLE. From the moment we connected with her, we knew she was it. I had searched high and low for months, after seeing so many washed out, boring photos - Maddy's photography was an absolute breath of fresh air. Her work was full of life, love, energy, emotion and beautiful colors; which I knew was exactly what I wanted! Once Maddy spoke with us on the phone, she felt familiar and comfortable, like an old friend, to which she TRULY did become someone we can consider a friend. Maddy was there for us with whatever we needed through the entire planning process... She is impeccable with her communication, and whether it was questions, moral support, or just a lighthearted pick me up - she ALWAYS was there for us. Her process was also very easy, straightforward, and her questionnaires and blog posts cover everything your and your spouse might need to know! Leading up to our day, we didn't get to physically MEET Maddy until the day of our wedding, to which she showed up obviously completely over-prepared (which my Type A appreciates beyond a reasonable doubt), excited, and ready to go with us! The INCREDIBLY warm hug she gave both of us just reinforced what we already knew - she was meant to be with us on our big day! Maddy kept us laughing, happy, AND she ran THE BEST interference lol. She is a great reader of emotions, situations, and even pulled me (Alex) aside at one point to have a cool down outside because she knew I was a bit overwhelmed by my family. Through the ceremony and reception Maddy and her assistant were GREAT! We got SO many compliments about both of them from our guests - noting that they were SUPER stealth when they needed a shot! Maddy also has an incredible eye, and her vision for photos is next level... She was able to direct us through everything and if you need yourself a hype girl - OH SHE IS IT!!! She’s also an absolute BOSS and will take control of a situation *if need be,* which was also important to us.. She made group/family/bridal party photos quick and painless which was SO needed, and also got a TON of fun shots through the night! Seeing our shots come to life was spectacular, and when she sent us the sneak peaks we were absolutely FLOORED.... And then seeing our full gallery!? Stunning. Just truly extraordinary. We cannot stop staring at our wedding photos. We share them any chance we get, and so many of our friends and family have asked us how they could use Maddy for their photography needs. Anyone we show our photos to is absolutely taken aback by them, and truly, I think the relationship we created with Maddy shows through in our photos. We were comfortable, excited and genuinely happy! Maddy made our emotions, happiness, and visions come to life through her photos - she is WORTH EVERY SINGLE CENT! We truly can’t wait for Maddy to be in our life through all of the changing seasons and new chapters.

I am getting married back home in Iowa and was originally only going to use CityLux for engagement photos, however, it was such an incredible experience we are going to use them for our wedding next year. I can’t imagine having anyone else shoot our wedding. I felt so comfortable and she was able to truly capture the love in our relationship in photos.

These aren't just photos. These are stories. They're your story. My approach is natural. I don't force moments, but I do know when to help direct. I want you to feel comfortable enough to come as you are, and let me capture the true essence of "you", because that is what matters the most. I am a natural light wedding photographer, which means I use solely the natural light outside or inside a building. I know what types of light situations are best, and I know how to combat the ones that are out of our control. I think natural light brings out the creamy tones to skin, makes your eyes sparkle, and makes for an organic photo.

Working with Mike was an absolute dream. My partner and I are not people who feel comfortable in front of a camera. Mike completely changed that - although we had never met in person before, Mike felt like an old friend. He had the utmost patience in dealing with our wild family members before we arrived and captured every moment completely perfectly. Mike was so intentional about every shot and was incredible about getting all of the nature-inspired, detail-oriented shots that I wanted. Every time I look back at my wedding album, I'm brought to joyful tears just seeing how perfectly captured every raw emotion was. At our reception, guests couldn't stop raving about how personable and easy to work with Mike was. We had a very "free-flowing" party and Mike was able to round-up everyone and get all of our needed family and friend shots - an impossible task! My partner and I just don't have enough good things to say about the entire experience, Mike as a person, and the beautiful pictures that we ended up with.

She makes you feel like a star every step of the way and you can trust you have a friend who has your back and makes sure to capture every moment that counts. She works together with you to make sure she grabs what you want her to grab and she even provides a handy timeline of the day (which for us was so important given all the moments we wanted to capture.)

Our journey into photography started in 2015 at the same time we first met: during training to become photojournalists for the U.S. Air Force. In 2017 we shot our very first wedding, and completely fell in love. From there, our passion for photography and working with couples only grew, and we finally decided to begin our business. Lauren loves iced coffee and being outdoors. While we call Charleston home, her heart belongs to the mountains (camping trip for your engagement session?!). Justin loves his Harley and cruising with the windows down. Most days, you can find him in the kitchen making homemade (delicious) bread, pasta or tortillas.

Justin and Lauren truly are amazing. From start to finish the entire experience of having them shoot our engagement and wedding photos was absolutely fantastic. Justin & Lauren do incredible work, are professional and always quick to respond with any questions or clarifications, and as an added bonus are quite fun to spend time with. Even as someone who is not very comfortable in front of the camera, their laid-back attitude and patience with my awkwardness immediately placed me at ease and turned our shoot into a genuinely enjoyable experience. Their photo quality is incredible, and we have received countless compliments on both our photos and the final album they created for us. I can't say enough how much I would recommend them to any and everyone, you won't be disappointed.

Hi! We're Julie and Rad. We met in Vietnam in 2016, and have lived in eight countries together since then. During our time abroad we've had plenty of adventures, seen incredible wildlife, eaten a lot of wonderful food, and honed our photography skills. We also got married in 2020! Planning a wedding during a pandemic involved an unusual set of challenges. Although our guest count was a little smaller than we originally anticipated-- the day could not have been more perfect. This was made possible only because we hired and trusted the right people. We try to instill the same trust so you can enjoy your day!

Kind, patient, flexible, talented... what more could you ask for from your wedding photographers. Jules & Conrad are top-quality people and photograhers. We fell in love with them for their eye - finding beauty in the smallest of candid details. Even going in with high expectations, we were overwhelmed by the quality of the gallery Jules & Conrad delivered. If you want photographers who will also be able to capture the small moments beyond the big kiss - the quiet glances, the guest smiles, the reach of a hand, a dancefloor drop - this is the couple for you. Would choose them as our photographers a million times over.

My love for photography started at a young age in my small hometown outside of Pittsburgh. After being in public accounting for over four years, I eventually left to explore the creative fulfillment that photography has always given me. I knew immediately that being able to capture the love and joy between a couple for them to cherish for years to come, brought me the fulfillment I was searching for. As a photographer, I love natural light, authentic moments and adventurous souls. When not behind the camera, I’m forever a Harry Potter superfan and pasta addict. I’m always looking for new people and places to inspire me.

Alessandra photographed my sister in laws wedding and we knew we needed her contact information! We couldn’t be happier with working with Alessandra. She captured our entire wedding weekend with confidence, fun & positivity. She delivered our sneak peek photos within 2 days of our wedding and we were blown away. We can’t wait to see how our photos turned out, we know they will be amazing. 10/10 recommend Alessandra and for your wedding!

I want to capture all your in-between moments, those are my favorite, the way you guys sneak looks and steal kisses. I don’t want to be just another person who shows up and waves a black box in your face. I want your photos to represent your effortless connection, the closeness with your person, and all the other things that make you guys YOU! I am inspired by your love and I want to capture YOUR raw and real story. I want to tell it through my photos. And the fact that no else has been in my shoes, I see the world through eyes that no one else has. That’s what makes me different. Also NO TRAVEL FEE anywhere in the states!!

We got married in June 2022, and even now looking at our photos and video has us in disbelief at how Ruzin beautifully captured our special day. It’s like we’re viewing someone else’s wedding, but it’s actually ours! Throughout wedding planning, she went above and beyond for us and we can’t truly express our gratitude. She takes the time to get personal and get to know you well and understand your vision to help take it to the next level. We’ve seen many wedding photos, but hands down ours were the best. Choosing her was the best decision we made!

I’ve loved art for as long as I can remember. In fact, I spent more time sketching, and creating things than paying attention in most classes (oops). I’ve found that art has always been a way for me to communicate with the world. Where my words fell short, creating things came in handy. Photography is simply an amazing extension of that. To me, photography is a way to capture memories and intricate details that God has created, to tell the story. And my desire is to capture feelings and candid moments that you can look at and instantly connect with - for years to come. People matter, and everyone has a story to tell!

Nikki and her sidekick did an amazing job capturing photos of our wedding day from beginning to end. We opted for the 2nd photographer and were so glad we did. That allowed us to get a large volume of pictures from multiple angles. Plus when the wedding party took a photoshoot tour of Minneapolis with Nikki, her partner captured photos of the cocktail hour at the wedding reception. The photos came out beautifully. Nikki also worked super well with our videographer, grabbing complementary shots. We have a great set of candid pics. She also composed tons of fun and creative setups for the bridal party that turned out wonderfully! For Christmas, we took (600) of the best shots and built a photobook for our parents as gifts. They were an instant hit and something we'll treasure forever. We're so glad we went with Nikki and would highly recommend you having her photograph your wedding!

My work is photojournalistic — I approach weddings through a documentary lens, telling the truth with beautiful and timeless imagery.

Awarded Best of Zola
We worked with Gabbie for our wedding and she absolutely blew us away. From the start, she was so easy to work with and got to know us, our story, and our style. We first had an engagement session with her, where she had a beautiful location in mind that fit our style perfectly. My husband and I were nervous because we're not used to being in front of the camera, but Gabbie's calm and fun nature put us at ease immediately. She has a way of creating certain moments that don't feel completely posed and resulted in absolutely stunning photographs that we cherish to this day. We were an original COVID couple (postponing our wedding a month before it was meant to happen in Spring 2020) and were so thankful that Gabbie was willing to work with us and all of the fluid changes we were dealing with daily. On the wedding day and all of the chaos that comes with it, Gabbie was a steady and calm voice amidst the craziness. She did a killer job despite dealing with on and off rain. She has this amazing ability to blend right in throughout the day while beautifully documenting our special moments. Once we received our complete gallery, we were speechless. The time and effort she puts in to selecting and editing every single image shows how truly invested and caring she is. She even managed to photograph little moments we didn't even notice her there for. She captured the spirit, love and fun of our wedding perfectly. I cannot recommend her enough!!

After we received the sneak peak of our engagement photos I knew we had nothing to worry about for our wedding day. And boy, was I right! Our wedding photos are timeless and the quality is top tier. Better than I could have ever imagined! I’m so happy we decided to hire Carly, and I would 1000% recommend her to anyone who’s looking for a wedding photographer.

My name is Anthony Stalcup and I’m a Georgia-based photographer with 20+ years of experience in just about every discipline of the craft.
