The Best Classic Wedding Photographers in Columbia, SC

Hey friend, I'm Lauren. I love blue hour, antiquing, a quality documentary, my people, snuggling with my husband, loving our bernedoodle, Junie, and a vanilla oat milk latte at literally any time of the day. My love for photography stems from my desire to capture moments, and my love of color. I have always sought to express emotion through fashion, imagery and creativity. My photography is an overflow of that. I have been professionally photographing wedding for 8 years now, and I have an A.A. degree in arts. I tend to have a more photojournalistic approach to photography, and strive to capture the true emotion of your special day.

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

Hi, I’m Courtney! I’m a wedding and portrait photographer based in Columbia, South Carolina, serving couples across the Southeast. My approach is all about creating a fun, stress-free experience while capturing timeless, heartfelt moments.

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!

Helen Tackett is a certified photographer located in South Carolina with a flair for creating beautiful, timeless images and documenting life through her camera. Originally from Camden, South Carolina. Helen now lives in Lexington with her husband, daughter, and 2 adopted fur-babies. Helen and her family love to travel. Their favorite place to explore are the waterfalls around Brevard, NC and the Greek Island (Paros and Santorini, especially). They are dying to make a third trip back one day!

I'm Madison, an SC-based photographer with a passion for travel and all things interior design. I'm a dog mom to two of the sweetest pups, Jesse and Jake. When I'm not behind the camera, I love spending time on the lake or by the ocean, usually with a Diet Coke in hand. Photography is something that I have always been passionate about but never dreamed of making a career out of it. In high school I was always the girl with a camera, making sure to document the sweetest memories that I treasure to this day. As a wedding photographer, it is a true blessing to invest and serve a couple while capturing their dream day.

You don’t have to know how to pose or worry about being perfect. I’ll guide you when you need it and step back when you just want to enjoy your day. My goal is simple: beautiful, genuine photos that bring you right back to how your wedding day felt.

* PLEASE INQUIRE ON WEBSITE* HEY! I'M ASHLEY! Aka, Your Professional third wheel! I am so happy you dropped by! I am a uber bubbly, warm hearted, person who loves to order 3 drinks at Dutch Bros and say its for other people but really its just for me. When I am not spending my lifes savings at Dutch Bros, I am professionally following peeps in love and photographing their stories. I am a lover of true crime and murder podcasts!

I’m weird (aren’t we all?), but I’m unapologetically myself, and I am obsessed with my job and this life I am so blessed to live. I've worked with some awesome couples, and maybe you're the next!

Love has a way of surprising us. I know this from experience. My husband and I married, divorced, and then found our way back to each other seven years later. That journey taught me something profound: when love is real, it doesn’t follow rules. It evolves. It deepens. It returns. That’s the kind of love I photograph—the kind that chooses each other, again and again. That’s why I do what I do. Weddings aren’t just a beautiful day, they’re your story. The in-between moments, the laughter, the tears, the glances no one else notices--those are the moments I live to capture.

You deserve wedding photos and films that feel natural, joyful, and completely like you. The real laughs. The quiet hand squeezes. The moments you will want to relive for years.

Hannah moved here from a small fishing village in Cornwall, England, and Matt grew up just down the road. We've been documenting weddings together since 2019, and Matt is also an FAA-licensed drone pilot. Our approach is true to life and relaxed, focused on helping you feel comfortable so nothing feels forced or awkward. From the first email to the final gallery, we keep things easy, clear, and genuinely fun so you can soak it all in.

I moved around a lot growing up and I can remember not always loving it. But now, truly grateful for how it's shaped me. My husband was the exact opposite. He had a hometown, graduated high school with childhood friends, knowing every street, and watching every change. I think that is part of the reason we were attracted to each other. One yearning for roots, and the other for branches. Finding them within each other. Finding in each other a home and an adventure. It is hard to remember who I was before him, and hard to imagine my life without him. When I think of him... I smile, I cry, I laugh. This is what makes me feel alive.

Hello! I’m Sharon and I own Sharon Elisabeth Photography. I feel so grateful every day that I get to capture the most heartfelt moments and feelings that occur during weddings as well as documenting the relationships between people who love each other so much – families, friends and couples! I love to tell the story of a wedding day and capture all the forms of love found there. It’s definitely not an “I have to go to work today” career. For me … it’s “I GET to go to work each day!" There is nothing I would rather do more than have my camera in my hands & working with wonderful people.
