DJ Trey Entertainment is AMAZING! The team was so easy to work with, very responsive and always helpful. I haven’t had a positive customer service experience like that since before Covid.

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!

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.

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

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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

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
Anytime I am able to work with Shante I am so excited! Her energy is amazing and immediately you know you are in good hands. She’s patient with vendors, always communicates and brings new ideas to the table. With clients, she makes sure they are at ease and comfortable in front of the camera. I completely trust her creative eye to always find new ways to collaborate together.

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!

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!

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!
