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.

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.

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

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

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.

In my free time I am baking or doing anything DIY. I love to explore new places, but I especially love the beach!

In the off-season, my husband and I (along with our two small boys) are working on building a house and a home on some land in Kershaw County with the hopes of someday opening my very own wedding venue in the area, I am so excited to bring my experience and passion to our new home.
