From start to finish, working with Zoom Wedding Studio was a dream. Our experience with them was that they were responsive (operationally we worked the most before and after the wedding with Helen and she was fantastic). Our photographers Mary and Joanne and videographer Denis were total professionals and guided us through the evening wonderfully, even though my husband and I are quite awkward in front of cameras. We loved how the photos turned out and our guests have been raving about them as well. We cannot wait to see the completed video! I wholeheartedly recommend Zoom Wedding Studio and appreciate their care in covering our wedding day.

Katie Z Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding day. From the very beginning, Katie was easy to talk to, gave us great ideas and direction, and was incredibly professional throughout the entire process. Her communication was top-notch - I always knew what to expect and she made sure we were well informed with every step. Katie's work is simply amazing, from the beautiful editing to the way she helped us itemize all the special moments we wanted captured. She even carved out time to sneak in engagement photos for us, even though she was not local. Katie kept the mood relaxed and light during all of our sessions, and was able to come up with creative opportunities for our photos that we will have forever. Her natural, emotion-capturing style truly helped make our wedding day feel so special. We cannot recommend Katie Z Photography highly enough!

Ryan did a fantastic job with our engagement and wedding photos! He was both friendly and professional. For the wedding, he arrived early so that he could survey the property, find the best photo areas, and start shooting. I could tell that he was making every effort to capture the perfect photos for us and to incorporate the shots we wanted. I’m interested in photography (as a hobby), so I appreciated that he occasionally explained why he was using a certain lens, having us stand in a particular area, etc. He was fun to work with. Looking at the photos, you would have never guessed that this was his first time visiting the venue. There are so many beautiful pictures, I don’t know how we’ll choose which ones we want to print! I appreciate his work in capturing our special day.

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
When we started wedding planning in late 2023 for our wedding in October 2024, I was seriously panicking thinking about all the different vendors we’d need to book. I knew we needed a photographer who was pretty flexible since we lived out of town from where we were planning the wedding, and that was Brandi to a T!! She was recommended by our wedding planner and I could not be more glad we chose her. She’s personable, kind, helpful, and an amazing photographer. She did our engagement shoot as well, and perfectly captured the spooky vibes we were going for and recommended the coolest photography venue to do them at. On the day of the wedding, she captured every moment so well with her second shooter, Valerie, and I’m so grateful to now have an entire album of beautiful wedding photos to look back on. She even sat down with my young nephew on the wedding day and let him take a few pictures with her camera. Just the sweetest person- I can’t recommend Brandi enough!!!

We are a team of experienced photographers that love what we do. I, Carmen, have been photographing weddings and other sessions for almost 20 years. I fall in love with weddings over and over again. Some have asked how since each wedding has the same features. The timeline may be the same, but every couple and their story is completely different. I love helping people feel comfortable in front of the camera, and letting their personality and love shine!! I look forward to the next 20 years of fabulous new photo sessions!

Carmen is literally the best. She is obviously an amazing photographer but she is sweet and stays very calm-which helps a crazy bride. She is creative in her shots and helps you pose so that you look natural. I cannot recommend her enough!

I am a native photographer in Conway, South Carolina. I started this journey during the summer of 2020 (what better time than in the middle of a pandemic) and I have enjoyed every minute of it. I love getting to shoot all over our beautiful county from our beautiful beach to the river, all the way to a country backroad. I love getting to meet so many new faces and making your ideas come to life! I love capturing seniors! Seniors are always so fun and excited (even the boys) for their session and will look back at their photos in years to come and will remember that exact moment! I have always had a niche for taking photos.
