Salt & Ivy was an absolute dream to work with. Highly communicative, professional, punctual, and absolute artists. From booking to receiving the photos, they were so amazing to work with. I (the bride) am typically very uncomfortable taking photographs. This was the first time in my life that I was actually at ease and having fun. 10/10 would and will book them again in the future for family/maternity photographs.

Hello! I’m Amy Lynn, owner and lead videographer at Forever Hello Films. I've been a fashion photographer and music video director for 13 years, and storytelling has always been at the heart of my work. When my closest friends started getting engaged and approached me wanting me to be involved in documenting their days I knew creating films was what I wanted to do for them. The truth is, I love love. I wanted to capture their day in a way that would truly allow them to relive those moments again and again. Re-experiencing the love they shared on that day and what it felt like in a way that feels like them.

I can’t say enough good things about working with Elizabeth Gardner Photography! We had to put together our wedding in just a couple days because of a severe illness in my family, and I truly didn’t even think we would find a photographer. But once we got connected with Elizabeth, she went above and beyond to make sure our day was captured in the most beautiful ways. She was so wonderful to work with: easygoing, attentive, and caring. She thought of things we hadn’t even had a chance to consider, and though we had so little time to prepare, she was right there with us every step of the way. And the outcome was STUNNING. We couldn’t be more pleased with our photos! She helped give me a full wedding experience when I didn’t think it would be possible.

To say Haley and Josh were amazing would be an extreme understatement. After talking to 10 different photographers and feeling all hope was lost Haley helped my wife more than we could’ve asked for. Communicated every step of the way made great suggestions thought of the things we didn’t. We did an intimate with just my wife the officiant and Haley and Josh. And they made us feel so comfortable throughout that it didn’t even feel like they were there. Haley made my wife’s dress look perfect and helped with her dress. And the pictures will give us a lifetime of happiness. I would recommend her to anyone in the NC area and will reach out in the future for any future occasions. Thank you Haley and Josh you made our day that much more special than we could’ve imagined.

I believe you can't stand behind your business unless you can say you fully understand it – and 24 years of marriage is proof that I KNOW LOVE. I set out to capture the essence of love when I started Parker Photography in 2018. I have been married to my best friend for the last 24 years, and people who meet us swear we are newlyweds. We still act like lovestruck teenagers with each other, that same feeling we get from every newly engaged couple that we meet. We know where our couples are coming from and what they hope to capture in their engagement sessions and on their wedding day, and we make it effortless for them to achieve their goals.

A Charleston Wedding Photographer with a fierce love for storytelling, fostering memories and capturing those moments that you will want to treasure forever. I get to tell your story. And, I think that’s pretty cool. I love traveling everywhere and anywhere, talking with my hands, buying plants (and attempting to keep them alive), and spending as much time as I can with my loved ones. I have lived in Boston, Paris, and New York City, and am now lucky enough to call Charleston home, while also still traveling the world for my clients. You can usually find me on my back porch in downtown Charleston, right next to my favorite little park.

tldr: Jessica is amazing and I don’t think you can go wrong with her if this is the style of photos you like I had a lot of difficulty picking a photographer as I’m pretty picky with photos. I knew I wanted something bright and light, with kind of a whimsical or ethereal vibe, but it was really hard finding the style until I came across the “fine art” style. Jessica’s name came up while researching this style and I decided to reach out to her among a few other fine art photographers. I definitely hoped talks would go well with Jessica as the others I contacted ended up either not responding or were wildly out of my budget. Pre-Planning: Jessica was wonderful throughout this process. She promptly responded to my emails and answered questions clearly. I never felt like I was left in the dark for any part of the process. When I sent her the timeline of the ceremony/reception, she quickly came up with a timeline to slot in all the photos to be taken ahead of time at the location (We had access to the venue for a little over an hour prior to the ceremony). She also asked for a list of family photos that we wanted to take. This made it very easy at the wedding as she could call out people’s name to make sure everyone that was supposed to be in the pictures, were in the pictures. Jessica also sent over a list of ideas for detail shots and explained she could do this ahead of time. We didn’t want extra pictures of these and decided against it, however, I still thought it was very thoughtful of her to offer. Wedding Day: I loved her energy at the wedding. She was very calm and felt very competent. She directed my husband and I throughout the pictures, showing us poses etc. During family and wedding party photos, even though we had many bodies to fit in the frame in quite a few pictures, she led us through them with ease and the entire experience was very stress free (or as stress free as can be at a wedding lol). The venue was quite dim at specific locations, but the final results did not reflect that at all. The pictures were bright and did not look like they were taken in the dark at all. (This is a little off topic but I loved the little apron with pockets she wore for her equipment. So cute) I’m not sure when Jessica had the time, but there were pictures around the venue which were so beautiful. I definitely feel like the day was captured through the pictures. Post Wedding: Jessica sent us a sneak peak 2 days after the wedding containing 23 pictures. They turned out great and were beautiful. You can see examples on her website so I won’t elaborate, but they really are that good. The full gallery was sent almost a month after the wedding (minus 2 days) with instructions on purchasing prints or an album attached. The full download contained 650ish files, including the sneak peek pictures. Half of which were black and white, so this matched up pretty perfectly with Jessica’s estimation of the amount of photos when we spoke in the pre-planning stage.

Maria Lewis is a PHENOMENAL photographer! We are so happy that we hired her for our engagement photos in Spring of '23 and for our wedding this past September (9/21/24). She is extremely professional, quick with communication, and has an abundance of experience and advice. Maria is kind, bubbly, and patient, making us feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. I am in awe of how natural and effortless each photo looked. She was never afraid to give suggestions when it came to creative poses or different scenic spots to shoot at. We both felt very at ease having her involved in our wedding planning. She even came up with a timeline for our wedding day, which made the entire planning process a breeze. I wholeheartedly recommend Maria Lewis for any of your photography needs!

I've been a photographer for almost 6 years - almost 3 years FULL TIME! As a kid/teen, concerts were (and still are) my home. I was gifted a point and shoot camera for Christmas one year and to remember the moment, I'd bring it to every concert I went to. Eventually, I'd bring it to every sleepover and event. Snapping photos has always been important to me. I'm sure 12 year old me would absolutely LOSE it if she knew this would be the start of something amazing. 6 years in - 75+ weddings of all sizes and hundreds of love stories documented and no signs of stopping anytime soon.

Megan went above and beyond for my wedding! Even when little details would change for the wedding, she was always willing to accommodate and made everything seem effortless! She is such a down to earth, genuine person and she made my husband Eddie and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera. I loved when she would hype me up after she took an amazing shot! She made me feel beautiful in all of my wedding pictures, and my husband and I will always use her as our photographer!
