Breana V Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (12 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,300
  • Serves Hodges, SC

I've always held such a high priority on making memories that will last lifetime. This is one of the many reason I started a photography business. Just a little bit about me, I'm 24 years. Married to my high school sweetheart, Noah. We moved to Upstate, SC from our home state of sunny south Florida to start a life as newlyweds. If you are a lover of moody, intimate and timeless photography, let's connect. I would love to work together :)

Awarded Best of Zola
I have used KAM Collective for my senior photos, engagement session, Bridal Portraits, and Wedding photos & videos. I have had an incredible experience with Kimberly and Avery each time. They are easy to contact and respond quickly. Kimberly has always been open to any ideas I have for photos, she also has given me great ideas. For my Wedding Kimberly was willing to attend meetings with my wedding planners to establish the most efficient way for all the photos I wanted to be taken. She also followed the schedule that was made perfectly on wedding day which made the day stress free for me! Kimberly makes getting your picture back in a reasonable amount of time a huge priority- which is very rare. She also has you multiple sneak peaks ready within a day. Avery filmed my entire ceremony along with a montage video of the whole day. We wanted three songs for the video and he made them blend together so well. Avery had many behind the scenes shots and I never even knew he was there. I highly recommend KAM Collective for any photography/videography needs but especially for Weddings.

Terrell Martin Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (6 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,800
  • Serves Hodges, SC

My name is Terrell Martin, and I am based in upstate SC. I have always enjoyed photography because it is the one way I am able to seemingly pause time, and capture a moment that is sure to only happen once. These moments are what make the memories you will one day cherish and share with your loved ones. When I take photographs, I’m not merely thinking about the “here and now.” I’m imagining generations down the the road being told your story through snapshots. This is why I strive to create timeless images. I prefer a style that is true to color, making every attempt to avoid trendy edits that won’t age well.

Awarded Best of Zola
I can't say enough good things about Terrell and his talent! A lot of the style of photos I see are washed out and lacking color, but I love how Terrell's style is so pretty and true to life in color. He is also great at candids, along with posing and making you feel as comfortable as possible in front of the camera. What I appreciated the most is that he really takes the time to get to know you and find out exactly what you want in engagement, bridal and wedding photos. I'm looking forward to having him photograph my wedding!

Flitter and Flutter Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Hodges, SC

I love to capture those special moments that everyone will remember. I started out doing "street style" photos for a boutique in my local area and then ventured into wedding, engagement and family portraits.

Flitter and Flutter Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Their communication was on point and the customer service they provided went above and beyond the minimum requested. Both the posed and candid photos they captured were truly awesome - they have a keen eye for detail and a talent for bringing out the best in their subjects. I usually hate being in front of the camera, but the photographer made the experience enjoyable and even incorporated some of my own suggestions. I would highly recommend Flitter and Flutter Photography to any couple looking for a talented and professional wedding photography team.

Erin and the entire OLAS team were an absolute dream from start to finish. From our very first phone call to receiving the final gallery, everyone was kind, professional, and so helpful. Erin was a calming, joyful presence all day long – giving gentle direction exactly when we needed it and somehow making us feel like total naturals in front of the camera. Every single photo is breathtaking. She captured the giggles, the happy tears, the little glances – every moment that made the day feel like pure magic. Steve and I keep saying we’ve never smiled so much in our lives, and now we get to relive it forever because Erin caught our love so perfectly. If you’re getting married: book OLAS. 10/10. Marry your best friend and let OLAS capture it. We’re obsessed and will recommend them to everyone we know! Thank you, thank you, thank you for making our wedding day even more unforgettable.

I feel so lucky to have found these amazing people! Heather and her incredible team feel like family to us, even though we only met a few months ago. They really care about their clients and want them to have the best photos possible. During the wedding, Heather would always make sure I was comfortable by giving me flattering poses and pointing her portable fan at me when I was too hot from dancing at the reception, ha! She stayed in communication with me, the other vendors, and her own team flawlessly, so I didn't have to worry about a thing. Not only was everything organized and efficient, but it was also fun! Our whole wedding party had a great time making jokes and messing around with the photographers, and seeing them have fun made the whole vibe a lot better. They hyped us up in every pose and made the day nothing but positive. I would highly recommend Heather and her team to anyone who wants a photographer who cares about them! I felt like a million bucks on my wedding day, and I have to say it is mainly because of these incredible photographers. Finally, the results speak for themselves! The pictures we received literally look like they're out of a movie. Their talent is unmatched and should be talked about more. The feelings and emotions of our special day were captured in such a natural and beautiful way. I am so grateful to have these pictures for life, and I can't wait to show my kids one day. I will never be able to forget what it felt like, thanks to these incredible people with unreal talent. I also cannot believe how easy it was to book her and for such a reasonable price! Booking Heather and her team was truly the best decision we could have made. I recommend them to anyone from all walks of life. You will be welcomed and taken care of like a friend or even family!

Caitlyn and Brett were amazing during our wedding! Always communicating and making sure nothing got left out on the photography timeline! I had a wonderful day and I’m so happy my husband and I hired them to spend our special day with them! They also photographed our engagement and did a wonderful job! I’ve had photo shoots before but, Caitlyn made it comfortable, fun, and easy whereas other photo shoots were more uptight and quick. We got to be in the moment and really soak up everything. On top of that they were very adorable and always so easy to work with and understanding. I could honestly keep going on and on about how wonderful they are personality wise and work wise. Thank you so much you two and I’ll always come to you whenever I need any professional photos taken. Your work is truly a work of art and beautiful!

Lee and his team are an absolute blessing to have on your wedding day. I found them through the Knot.com. I instatntly fell in love with his style of photography. Not only that but when we were first looking for photographers Lee called me and we spike for an hour and a half about expectations and whay kind of wedding etc. No other photographer i looked at did this, I really appreciated the time he took out of his day to spend talking to us. Fast forward to wedding day Lee and his team made us super comfortable and helped to make our wedding magical. Lee is so easy to work with and definitely knows how to get shy couples out of their comfort zone. Lee not only helped capture our wedding but also us as a couple with an engagement shoot as well. I have never felt so comfortable around a photographer before. Not only is he amazing to work with but his work is equally as amazing. I absolutely love every single one of my pictures and cannot pick a favorite. Not only are the pictures amazing we got our sneak peeks back the same day! It wasn't just 1 or 2 pictures either it was an entire album. That was an absolutely amazing surprise to wake up to the next morning. I would recommend Alchemist Weddings for any event you may have! We will definitely be using him for photos in the future. Much thanks and gratitude, Claire and Bobby Olsen

I chose not to have a videographer for my wedding, and had it covered only by photography. I sit here now, barely two weeks out from my wedding, already enjoying my entire wedding photo gallery from these amazing photographers that captured every detail as if they were using video recorders instead! Not only did they guarentee quick turn around on my photos (I think their words were "before you're back from your honeymoon") but the quality of work speaks for itself in the photos. They were such an joy to work with- often splitting up to cover ground and their easy banter with each other puts you right at ease when they're pointing those big cameras at you. I will never be able to thank them enough for making our day so special, and I'll enjoy it with their photos for the rest of our days.

Hi! My name is Steve. I do visual storytelling. I’m married with three kids and in my spare time I record music and build things. I've been filming and photographing weddings since 2009. I love travel and getting to know unique couples.

From the moment we reached out to Birchfields, their communication was quick, thorough, and sincere. Their attention to detail and ability to make us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera resulted in exceptional photographs that captured every special moment of our wedding day. Birchfields truly went above and beyond, taking unique angles and perspectives that allowed us to relive the entire day through their stunning imagery. When it’s hard to figure out which photo you want to print out and hang on the wall, you know you picked the right photographer! We could not be happier with the final product and would highly recommend Steve to any couple looking for a talented, professional, and personable wedding photographer.
