Carson Lillard Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (26 reviews)
Columbia, SC
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $2,500

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
From our first conversation, Carson Lillard Photography made us feel heard and understood. They were quick to respond to our questions and upfront about pricing, which meant no surprises down the road. When we needed to adjust our bridal session schedule or make last-minute changes on wedding day, they rolled with it and made everything work seamlessly. What really impressed us was how their photos capture the real moments—nothing felt forced or stiff. Carson has a gift for catching genuine smiles and natural interactions that tell the story of our day. We'd absolutely recommend them to any couple looking for a photographer who's both easy to work with and incredibly talented at their craft.

Love Knot Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (27 reviews)
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Columbia, SC

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
A few things that stood out the most about Isaac were how responsive he was, how he was able to accommodate to our budget, and how he took pictures from angles and views that turned out great on the photos. As a couple with demanding careers, I much appreciated how quickly Isaac was with replying to emails. We had a pretty tight budget, and Isaac was able to offer us a package that landed pretty close to our budget and only had the items that we needed the most (mini engagement photoshoot for the website and wedding day). Our ask for him was to get some candid shots as we feel pretty awkward in front of the camera. I personally think that the wedding day pictures came out more naturally because of the setting being surrounded with friends and families, and Isaac and Sushen did a great job capturing the candid moments beautifully. Isaac even had an idea for me to pose by climbing up a wooden stair ladder for a shot that I honestly wasn't sure how it was going to turn out while doing it, but it ended up turning out beautiful and magazine-like in addition to other ones that he asked us to pose for. Isaac put together a behind the scenes video that also showed the reactions of guests to our photo place cards before we had entered the reception area, and this was lovely in that we got to see our guests' reactions that we weren't able to see.

We were so impressed by 505 media and their quick responses and quality of photo/video they took! From the initial phases of planning, they were quick to respond and eager to help in the planning process of making sure timelines were manageable. They were able to capture all of the milestones during the day and were even willing to hop on our party bus when we wanted footage of the wedding party driving around! We were so impressed by how quick the photos were delivered! We received a text while on our honeymoon the week after our wedding that our edited photos were done and one week later we received all our pictures!

I began this journey several years ago (formerly as Brandi-Lee Photography). Recently, I had decided to transform my brand into a more intentional & creative art. Photography has become one way I can express myself creatively while freezing a moment in time. I'm especially drawn to documentary & lifestyle photography as I love how natural the emotions are in the photos. There is a story to be told & I look forward to helping capture it on film. I like to consider myself as a visual storyteller.

Awarded Best of Zola
I really can’t say enough about how truly amazing Brandi is. She was with me from the start of my planning process to the end providing me with so much support and guidance. She was more than just a photographer. She is truly one of kind. From helping me coordinate a timeline, giving vendor suggestions, oh and not to mention helping me throw together a whole wedding in 72hours due to the Tennessee flooding. She is reliable and such a joy to work with. She made me feel so special. I just received our full album and let me tell you I am blown away. The quality of the photos are outstanding and I received so many!!! I am amazed at her attention to detail and ability to capture every special moment. I cannot recommend Brandi enough! She was such a blessing to work with and all around a wonderful photographer.

Awarded Best of Zola
After our first photographer fell through, we found Caz and luckily he happened to be available on our wedding date. From the very first contact, he was incredibly responsive (super important to us), friendly and professional. His work looked great so we were excited - then we found out he was featured in Vogue! We were stoked. He was amazing to work with on the wedding day - punctual, friendly, got all the requested shots, and the whole bridal party loved him. We got our pictures back today - and they’re so much better than we could have dreamed of. It’s no wonder he was featured in Vogue - his work is artistic, candid, and beautiful. Thank you Caz for giving us such beautiful memories so we can relive the best day of our lives.

King is seriously a dream to work with! From the first time we talked, we just knew they were the right choice. He’s so down-to-earth and made us feel totally at ease, which was huge because neither of us are super comfortable in front of a camera. He helped us with posing when we needed it (thank you for making us look like we knew what we were doing!), but also just let us be ourselves, which resulted in the most natural, beautiful photos. He totally captured the vibe of our day, especially the reception. The energy, the laughter, the dancing—everything was perfectly documented. We couldn’t have asked for better photos that really tell the story of our celebration. We’re beyond happy with how everything turned out!

Jessica truly made us feel comfortable and cared for during our engagement shoot and our wedding day. I titled this review friend-tographer because we genuinely felt like working with Jessica was working with someone we’ve known for ages. And aside from her soft skills, her results speak for themselves. I was astonished by the amount of photos, how quickly we received them, and also how beautiful they were. It was important for us to have candid shots and that is exactly what was delivered. Through the eyes and lens of Jessica, my wedding looks exactly how it felt - like a giant party with everyone we love and I’m so glad someone so talented and capable documented it.

We had a wonderful experience working with Tyler Boye Photography for our wedding! We first heard about Tyler and his company through one of my husband’s colleagues, who had used Tyler for his wedding. When we saw his wedding photos, we knew we HAD to have Tyler for our wedding day, too! The whole Tyler Boye Photography team was great to work with. Jess handled our contract, and she was so patient and helpful during the booking process. Staci was incredibly thorough with the planning, and she was very fun to talk to while we were working out the schedule for the day! Although we ended up running a bit behind schedule on our wedding day (makeup and hair took longer than expected!), Tyler, Andrew, and John still managed to capture all the important moments beautifully. We had a very fun mix of classic shots and some really cool artistic ones that we absolutely love. Pricing was also very reasonable compared to other vendors in our area, which was a huge plus and a very pleasant surprise! Overall, the entire team was friendly, professional, and made us feel very comfortable. We highly recommend Tyler Boye Photography!

Let me tell y’all about this amazing chic! She came in and saved the day! We lost our photographer about 2 weeks before our wedding, we knew it wasn’t the right fit for us. I reached out to Ashley Painter Photography and she made time in her busy schedule ( while finishing grad school, being a mom, wife, and running a business!) to travel 2 hours each way to capture our day. Not to mention working hand in hand with our DJ on a timeline of events to make sure she was in the right spot at the right time to capture the best shots! Our contract said allow 16 weeks for full gallery, she said “ girl, don’t you worry, I won’t make you wait that long” and here we are, 3 weeks later and completely surprised, she delivered a full gallery of the most amazing moments of our day. If you’re ever in the Charleston, South Carolina area and need some pictures done remember to call the best! It’s so much more than just snapping pictures

I offer digital as well as 35mm film photography, digital/Super 8/camcorder videography, + iPhone content creation delivered to you within 24 hours of your big day!

But, I’m always ready + willing to pack my bags + join you wherever your love story is going :) Whether that be in my home state of Michigan or across the pond, I’m equally as excited to capture your love!

From the moment we started planning our wedding, Alaina Kozak was quick to respond to our questions and made us feel like she genuinely cared about capturing our day the right way. Her editorial style and ability to catch candid moments between posed shots resulted in photos we didn't even know we needed. What really stood out was how she paid attention to every detail — from the way my dress was arranged to carrying my train throughout the day so I could focus on enjoying the celebration. She wasn't just behind the camera; she was part of our team, helping us look and feel our best. The final photos exceeded what we imagined, and we can't recommend Alaina Kozak Photography enough to couples looking for someone who combines professionalism with genuine care.
