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.

We couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our wedding! From the very beginning, Carson was incredibly professional and attentive, ensuring she understood all the shots we wanted. She even provided an extra shooter on the big day to make sure every moment was captured perfectly. Her sweet and warm personality made the whole experience so enjoyable. We were a bit nervous in front of the camera, but Carson made us feel so comfortable, even playing music and attending to all the little details to ensure we looked and felt our best. She also did our engagement shoot and delivered the most stunning pictures. If you want someone who will go above and beyond to get the perfect photos, Carson is your photographer. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and reliable photographer. Thank you, Carson, for making our special day unforgettable!

Hi! ! I'm Alexandra and I'm the lead planner behind Alexandra Madison Weddings (AMW). Back in 2013, I made a decision to dive into training in various areas that make wedding day magic happen. Since 2017, AMW has been proudly serving brides full time, bringing their wedding visions to life. With an average of 40-60 weddings each year, we've fine-tuned our expertise to create unforgettable moments. On your special day, our team of 2-4 talented planners and assistants will be there to ensure every detail is perfect. We can't wait to embark on this exciting journey with you!

Working with Alexandra Madison Weddings was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From day one, Alex and Parker were there for us — guiding us through every step, helping us make decisions big and small, and always bringing a sense of calm to the chaos. Their support throughout the planning process was truly invaluable. They helped us secure amazing vendors, brought our vision to life beautifully, and ensured every detail was thoughtfully executed. Thanks to their months of preparation and behind-the-scenes work, our big day went off without a hitch. The day-of team was just as incredible — they took care of our every need (and our parents’ too!), made sure we always had a drink in hand, and allowed us to be fully present and enjoy every moment. We felt so supported and cared for the entire day. If you’re looking for a planning team that’s organized, kind, creative, and truly invested in your day — look no further.

LaneLee Weddings and Events

Columbia, SC
  • Planner
  • Offers 7 services
  • Starts at $500

LaneLee was born from a deeply personal journey, a mother planning her daughter’s wedding and realizing just how overwhelming, expensive, and impersonal the process could be. What should have been a joyful experience was often clouded by hidden fees, premium pricing, and unnecessary stress. Drawing on years of experience in event design, Lane stepped in to create a wedding that was elegant, comfortably within budget, and stunningly beautiful. With Lane’s creative eye and a strong foundation in business and planning, the twin sisters founded LaneLee. Their mission: to create personalized and beautiful events that honor your unique story.

Brandy and Stormy are incredible! We had already booked most of our vendors and finished a lot of the planning, but as the big day got closer, I started feeling overwhelmed about how everything would actually come together. Thankfully, we found Lanelee! From the very first phone call, Brandy and Stormy were so kind, organized, and reassuring. I immediately knew I wanted to work with them to help bring everything together. What makes Lanelee truly special is that you get two amazing sisters, Brandy, the planner, and Stormy, the designer. They make the perfect team! They flawlessly executed our dream of a simple, rustic wedding and made sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish. They created a detailed timeline, reviewed and refined all my plans, handled every vendor communication, and even saved the day when my Etsy flowers didn’t turn out as expected, they made all new ones for me themselves! Brandy and Stormy went above and beyond in every way. We are so grateful for all they did and cannot recommend Lanelee highly enough for any event or wedding planning!

I’ve worked in everything from venue management, catering to festival planning and corporate events but my first love is all things WEDDINGS!

As a wedding planner and floral designer, I get to merge my love for sculpture, flowers and weddings all into one.

Petrichor Floral Design 

5.0

Columbia, SC
  • Florist
  • Starts at $500

I have always loved weddings. My earliest memories consist of creating weddings for my dolls and stuffed animals. I love flowers. They're beautiful, unique, fun, whimsical... any adjective it can be. Each flower is so unique and has a story to tell just like each person. They're present for some of the most important moments of our lives and a beautiful reminder to savor the moment. Petrichor Floral Design's desire is to create your floral vision for any and all of these special moments.

Petrichor Floral Design was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding! From the very first interaction, Michelle's communication was clear, responsive to our needs, and highly organized. She listened closely to our vision for an elegant but vibrant color palette and brought it to life with beautiful, whimsical floral designs that were even better than the inspiration photos I shared from Pinterest! We were in a bind 6 weeks before our wedding, planning from out-of-state and frantically searching for a new florist after being ghosted by someone who pocketed our deposit. I am SO happy that we found Michelle at Petrichor. She was sympathetic to our situation and quick to pull together a fresh floral plan that fit our timeline and remaining budget. Her advice helped us choose high-impact arrangements, and we never felt coerced to spend more than we wanted on flowers we didn't need. The end result was stunning - our guests (and folks online) are still raving about the flowers two months later! Michelle's creative vision, affordable pricing, and dedication to making our floral arrangements feel as fun and beautiful as our relationship made her a gem to work with. I can't recommend Petrichor Floral Design enough - if you're planning a wedding in the Columbia, SC area, you need to book with Petrichor TODAY.

Shot By Shante Photography

  • 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

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! I’m Nathan, lover of mexican food, The Office on netflix, cycling, Russian culture, and my hat (as pictured)! Over the past four years I have had the pleasure of capturing wedding stories and couples’ special day! I love storytelling through film and have experience in filmmaking that has taken me across the ocean to national and international locations across the world.

Nathan was absolutely AMAZING at our wedding!! We got married October 17th, 2020. He is very professional. He likes to meet the couple to actually get to know the couple and connect with you more. I loved that idea because he made our special day SPOT ON. He also sends you another "survery" type thing, questions, just like a recap of the first meeting! About 1-2 weeks before the meeting he likes to meet with you or facetime just to get all the details in order and wants to only do things YOU want. His feedback and ideas helped so much as well! The day of the wedding, he did not miss one moment of anything. I would never go with another photographer again!!!!

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!

I would go through all the stress of wedding planning a million times over if it meant getting to work with Kara. I went with her full service package for a year of assistance and it was without a doubt the best decision I made for my wedding! I truly could not have done it without Kara. Kara has a special talent of conceptualizing the big picture while also nailing in every single detail. She perfected our vision and really elevated it to better than I could have ever dreamed of. I also appreciated how much time she spent making sure all our vendors were on the same page and organized the day of the event, it really took so much off my plate so I could focus on all the best parts of wedding planning. I mean it when I say on my wedding day, I had very minimal stress - and that is coming from a highly anxious person! Kara is a person you can put all your trust in and know everything is in good hands. I looked so forward to every meeting with Kara because we always left more excited than ever and eager to continue planning. If you’re on the fence about reaching out, my biggest piece of advice is that it’s 100% worth it! Kara is so talented at what she does and just a really wonderful person.
