Hi! My name is Natalie and first I’d like to say congratulations on your engagement! This is such an exciting time and I’m thankful for your consideration to work with you on your wedding day! I’ve always loved hair and makeup but being able to share in your big day is my passion! I believe a bride should look like her most beautiful self on her wedding day with an extra little flair! I look forward to hearing your ideas and creating your perfect curated wedding look for you and your bridal party!

Awarded Best of Zola
Natalie is truly an amazing artist and person. I was so impressed when talking with her about her background in the hair industry. She told me that she could do whatever style I wanted, and she was absolutely right! Going into it, I had no clue how I wanted to do my hair. She was so great with going back and forth leading up to the trial to help me settle on a few styles. Then at the trial she worked with me to try a few different options. I ended up doing a second trial with her to perfect the look. On the wedding day, she absolutely nailed it! One of my biggest things was curl style, and she got the curls perfectly! She also did such an amazing job with my mom's hair, which made me so happy seeing how beautiful my mom felt with it. My dad said that was the best he's seen her hair in 30 years. Not only is Natalie extremely skilled, but she is also a great person. She is so humble despite her impressive background. She is also an incredible person and felt more like a friend by the end of this. We love her so much and recommend anyone getting hair done to go to her!!

Travis and his band were absolutely phenomenal to work with for our wedding. The music was great; he learned our first dance song perfectly; the selection of music meant there was something for everyone; and he even had tarps to put up to keep the music going as the rain came down. Absolutely professional and a joy to work with. Plus, a bunch of my musician friends from around town recommended Travis and said he's fun to play with. You'll think so too. Thanks, Travis!

MSMP Media was the perfect choice for our wedding. Beyond the fact that their editing style was what we were looking for with bright photos, their team was incredible. We had the pleasure of working with their West Michigan Team. Jordan was fantastic and even got me a small birthday gift because my wedding was on my birthday! It was small details like this that really made our experience so great. She was great at getting us ready for photos with great directions. None of the wedding party were huge "photo" people, but she made us feel comfortable to allow for such great photos. Her eye for shots was fantastic. We have gotten so many compliments on our photos from everyone that we have shared them with! Beyond the photos themselves and the actual wedding day, Marisa had great communication. We received sneak peak photos within a day of the wedding and had the entire album less than a month out of the wedding. From what we have been told, this is a great timeline. We are so happy to have booked MSMP!

I highly recommend utilizing their planning portal as it helped us think through how we wanted our day to go down to every last detail (some of which we would have likely not thought of ourselves!) We worked with DJ Golden & DJ Jayson, both of which went above and beyond to make our vision come to life!

What can I say, Rhett Marley is an absolute dream to work with. From beginning to end, engagement photos to wedding, intro call to planning call - his love, attention to detail, passion, kindness, and talent shine in every shot, every conversation, and in every photo. Rhett masterfully captured our wedding from beginning to end, all our guests loved him. He made it a point to interact with all of them to capture their images while at an intimate destination wedding. Rhett knew where my husband and I were throughout the entirety of the night - so we always had photos taken with guests when they requested them. I had a bold vision for drone shots at and around our venue, Rhett was excited and executed my vision flawlessly. Matt and I have plans to come to Charleston yearly and we know Rhett will always be trusted to take our photos, and one day, our family photos. I cannot recommend him enough!

Hiring Brenna from Blissnics for full-service wedding planning was, without a doubt, the best decision we made throughout our entire wedding journey. Planning from out of state was intimidating, but Brenna made the process effortless and enjoyable from day one. One of the absolute biggest reliefs was not having to communicate with vendors at all. Brenna managed everything—gathering quotes, comparing packages, answering questions, negotiating details, and handling contracts. I truly didn’t realize how tedious and time-consuming those tasks were until I saw how seamlessly she took them off our plate. It saved us so much time, stress, and second-guessing. We felt completely taken care of. Brenna went above and beyond in every way. She toured venues on our behalf (and ultimately found us our dream wedding location!), built our budget, and helped us figure out where to allocate funds based on what mattered most to us. Without her, we would’ve had no idea how much things really cost—or how to plan for all the extras like taxes and tips. What stood out the most was how well she got to know us—not just as clients, but as a couple. She understood our style, our personalities, and our priorities. Every meeting was organized, thoughtful, and productive. She helped bring my design vision to life, walking me through rental options and curating every detail to reflect what I had imagined (honestly, it felt like she stepped inside my Pinterest board and made it real!). On our wedding day, Brenna and her team were the calm, capable presence. Everything was perfectly timed and beautifully set up. She created a detailed, minute-by-minute itinerary and coordinated it with all our vendors. I went to bed the night before the wedding completely at peace, and woke up feeling calm and excited—because I knew Brenna had it all under control. I truly just had to show up, and she and her team had created the most magical, fairytale day. Brenna is not only incredibly professional and talented—she’s kind, thoughtful, and deeply invested in her couples. I can’t recommend her enough. If you're even thinking about hiring a wedding planner, let this be your sign: trust Brenna. You’ll be so, so glad you did!

Where do we even begin? Taylor, our DJ, didn't just meet our expectations, he absolutely obliterated them! He flew all the way from Charleston to Cabo for our wedding, and even when his nearest airport was shut down due to a snowstorm, he found a way to get to us. That level of dedication is simply unmatched. But it wasn't just his commitment that blew us away. From the moment he started, the energy was electric. Taylor's emcee skills are top-tier. He was hilarious, engaging, and kept the party going all night long. He even hosted an epic twerk-off contest, letting us, the bride and groom, crown the winners – it was a highlight of the night! What truly sets Taylor apart is his ability to handle anything that came his way with grace and positivity. Weddings are unpredictable, and Taylor navigated every unforeseen moment with a smile and a solution. He seamlessly managed the flow of the evening, ensuring everything ran smoothly and the dance floor was always packed. More than just a DJ, Taylor has become a dear friend. We now wish he could emcee and DJ every event we host! If you're looking for someone who can elevate your event beyond your wildest dreams, Taylor is your guy. He knows how to keep the vibes way above expectations, and we can't recommend him highly enough. Thank you, Taylor, for making our wedding an unforgettable celebration!

15+ years of experience as a Fashion Photographer in NYC, My editorial approach reimagines traditional wedding photography for fashion-forward couples, blending fine art with a romantic aesthetic. My personal passions are deeply rooted in fashion, design and minimalism. These influences are deeply steeped into my wedding work. I specialize in editorial and elegant luxury wedding photography that tells your story intimately and artfully by beautifully balancing raw emotions and styled elegance.

In our search for a wedding photographer, we specifically sought someone who could tell the story of “us,” our love for each other, and the love of our family and friends through a unique lens. We wanted shots that went beyond the traditional “wedding shot,” and Ashley absolutely delivered. She went above and beyond to help capture all the intimate details of our wedding. From actual location scouting to planning the timeline to receiving the final batch of photos, Ashley’s experience and eye for detail shone through. As one of our relatives said, “OMG! These photos are gorgeous! How can I choose just one?” I am so glad we have her photos to remember our ’storybook’ day. We will treasure them for years.

Destiny was amazing to work with. I had been following her work and booked her over a year in advance of my wedding. By the time my wedding rolled around, I knew that she didn't need photo references of what look I was going for. All I had to do was describe what I wanted and she brought it to life effortlessly. She was so fun to talk to while she was getting me ready. She definitely is a hype woman, but very genuine about it. She's worth the price. My hair and makeup still looked amazing by the end of the night. If I have another occasion, I'd LOVE to book her again.

Alissa was phenomenal. From day one she helped guide us through the entire process. When we had questions, she was very quick to reply. As our wedding coordinator, we couldn’t be happier! She was one of the first people there to help set up and never had to ask what to do. She was on top of everything! She took full control. From the table decorations to hanging flowers and decor in the freezing cold with the wind blowing, to helping break everything down, it was WAY more than we could have asked for.

Lindsay was by far the best vendor of our whole wedding. She made the day so enjoyable and stress-free with her amazing energy and talent. Aside from being fabulous at her job, she is so thoughtful and lovely. As a bride and groom who were extremely camera shy, she made us feel totally comfortable the entire time and the photos turned out better than we could have ever imagined. We still keep in touch with her and can’t recommend her enough! Lindsay is the absolute best all around.

We have been providing music for couples for more than 20 years in South Carolina. Charleston (where I was born and raised) is a major wedding destination. Since we serve clients from all over the country (and internationally too!) we have had the opportunity to serve an incredible range of diverse clients. This keeps our music skills fresh, alive, and exciting! And that's why our couples love us!

Lee Edwards Entertainment was the perfect choice for our wedding entertainment. From the start, they stayed on top of everything and communicated back and forth with us, ensuring we were all on the same page. On the day of the wedding, they did a great job with the setup, song selection, and keeping the dance floor energized. The wedding with them was wholesome and they helped create a truly memorable celebration for us and our guests. We couldn't have asked for better entertainment to make our special day so enjoyable.

Hey there! I’m a Charleston native who has always loved being able to capture moments behind the camera! Overtime my eye drew to capturing the authenticity of moments through movement. And voila! My passion for filmmaking was born. Throughout your wedding process I want to be more of a friend than a vendor, and I don't say that flippantly. I want to be your biggest advocate and number one fan on your wedding day and beyond. My job is to capture the moments in front of me, not manufacture something on my own. I can't wait to get to know you, and I look forward to creating something beautiful, together!
