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.

Buds & Roses Couture Cakes was a pleasure to work with for our wedding.

Their communication was prompt and they asked plenty of questions to ensure we were on the same page about the design. Our cookie cake turned out GORGEOUS and tasted absolutely delicious. The owner even went out of her way to make sure the florals on the cake matched our bouquets, which was a really nice touch that made the cake feel special and personalized for our wedding day. Overall, we were thrilled with the quality of their work and the value they provided. Highly recommend Buds & Roses Couture Cakes for any couple looking for beautiful and delicious wedding desserts!

Shot By Shante Photography

Columbia, SC
  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,500

Hi, I'm Shanté! My love story with photography began at an early age - Around 7 or 8, I began collecting old pictures of my family, many taken before I was even born. I loved hearing the background story behind each polaroid, featuring beloved members of my family, some of which I never got the pleasure to meet. I was mesmerized by the fact that a single image could be so meaningful, so precious, and so nostalgic. As cliché as it is, it's absolutely true - a picture really is worth a thousand words. ​ It gives me much pride to capture authentic love stories for those who believe that the greatest of these is love. ​ -Shanté

Awarded Best of Zola
It’s ALWAYS a pleasure working with Shanté! She’s very professional and makes you feel comfortable. She has become our family photographer for every special occasion. I highly recommend 10/10.

Hi there! We’re Samantha and Brady, a husband-and-wife photography team based in Columbia, South Carolina*. We’re all about capturing those real, candid moments—the ones that tell your story in the most authentic way. Striking a balance between documentary and editorial imagery is important to us, as we feel everyone deserves beautiful photos of themselves on one of their biggest days.

Sam and Brady are the BEST photographers we could have hoped for. We loved their photography style and had so much fun during both the engagement session and on our wedding day! They were great to work with! Always timely with communicating with us, took the time to help us create a well-thought-out timeline, accommodated some extra requests for family photos, and kept us well within time for my husband and I to get some extra fun photos of just the two of us after the ceremony. The sneak peaks we received are just incredible, and we are so excited to see the full gallery. I cannot recommend Sam and Brady enough to anyone else needing a wedding photography team!

Columbia, SC
  • Beauty professional
  • Starts at $200

A licensed cosmetologist with 14+ years of experience, offering personalized beauty services. Featured in numerous publications including Essence, and Brides Magazine, Kimberly creates timeless, stunning looks.

Kim was a pleasure to work with and did a beautiful job for hair and make up for myself, my mom, and my sister-in-law for my wedding. I was so grateful she was willing to help as we were only 3 people and not a large wedding party. I am not usually comfortable with make-up products and she put me at ease. She talked through everything she was doing. She worked very closely with me on what I wanted and was comfortable with. All of her products are very carefully selected, natural, and clean, which was very important for my sensitive skin. She even met me early in the morning for my trial so that I could have my make up done for my engagement photos. For my wedding, my hair and make-up lasted beautifully all day. And unlike so many wedding make up looks, I still felt like myself. She brings out your natural beauty. My mom and sister-in-law feel the same way too. I look forward to continuing to go to Kim for my regular haircuts even after the wedding. She is such a lovely person. I am so glad to have met her!

Born and raised in Miami, Florida, I moved to South Carolina in 2014, and it was the best move I have ever made. The slower paced lifestyle is definitely my jam. I have a Pitbull named Sandy who loves to play and of course eat plenty of treats. I am a huge animal lover and volunteer often at a local animal shelter taking photos to help the pups get adopted. In my free time I am baking or doing anything DIY. I love to explore new places, but I especially love the beach!

We hired Melissa for our out of state Wedding photographer. Being from out of state and hiring a wedding photographer that you don't know can be a little stressful however the second I met Melissa I felt like I had known her forever! She made us feel comfortable and she got all the shots we wanted on our special day! Melissa sent preview photos and got our photos back to us very quickly. We LOVED Melissa and highly recommend her!

Meredith was incredible! I got married in Leicster NC and had Meredith come from SC to do mine and my bridesmaids hair and makeup. Her prices were very fair and definitely worth paying the extra for her to travel. She was so sweet and made me feel like an actual princess on my wedding day. What really sets her apart from others is that she focuses on the experience she provides and not just the results. On a day that is very chaotic Meredith was such a calming presence. She also made sure that everyone felt beautiful and was more than willing to change anything anyone didn't like. I cannot recommend her enough she is beyond talented and over all a very genuine and kind person!
