“I planned my destination wedding sight unseen and Lottie was there for me every step of the way, offering kindness and knowledge of the area. I absolutely recommend the photobooth with the guest scrapbook, as it provided a fun activity and a super unique keepsake! Lottie and her assistants had a mixture of traditional and unique photoshoot ideas that I loved while still being able to capture small intimate moments throughout the day. Lottie and her photography assistants pushed through the sweltering June heat and did an amazing job balancing covering the bridesmaids & groomsmen getting ready, ceremony, reception, and photobooth throughout the 10 hours that they were with us. I could not give a higher review to a vendor than I give to Lottie and her team! Thank you, Lottie, for coming out for my venue walkthrough 2 days before the wedding and for all of the effort and beautiful photos & videos on my special day!”

I’m Stephanie, the heart behind Be Still My Heart Photography. I’m not just a wedding photographer—I’m a storyteller, a moment catcher, and a steady, calming presence on one of the most meaningful days of your life.

With love, Stephanie

“As a wedding florist, I’ve worked with many photographers—but Stephanie at Be Still My Heart Photography is truly one of a kind. When it came time for my wedding, choosing her was the easiest decision I made. From the first call, she put me at ease. She’s calm, warm, and makes you feel like you've known her forever.

She caught everything: the quiet moments I didn’t even realize were happening, the big joyful ones, and all the real, emotional in-betweens. And our guests loved Stephanie. When do you ever hear that? Our photos feel like us. They’re not overly posed or filtered—they're authentic, emotional, and stunning. Every time I look at them, I’m right back in that moment. If you want someone who will truly see you, who captures not just how your day looked but how it felt—Stephanie is it. I recommend her to every couple I meet. She's the kind of vendor who makes your day better just by being there. —Wendy, Wedding Florist & Forever Grateful Bride”

“When my wife and I were planning our wedding, we were initially hesitant to book Once Like a Spark Wedding Co. since they were not a local company, and we didn't get to talk directly to the photographer or videographer until the day of the wedding. That being said, what sold us was their website/gallery, their professionalism when getting a quote, and that our venue vouched for them. OLAS' team's communication was responsive, quick, and thorough, putting us at ease. We had planning calls and surveys leading up the day of. Jasmine T did a stellar job setting us up to look our best, and she had her work cut out for her, because she was dealing with two brides, two dresses, and an outfit change! Jasmine was also great about following our instructions from the survey and planning meetings. For example, we had included pictures in front of a wall of donuts at the venue, but we later changed the wall of donuts to cannoli's and forgot to tell OLAS. Turns out the venue threw in the donut wall back in without telling us. Jasmine brought us to the wall, and it made for a great surprise and cute pictures. Jeremy did an amazing job on the videography and editing. Watching the highlight video made us cry because he really captured our best moments and those real smiles in the midst of the stress and hustle and bustle of the wedding day. OLAS gave us complimentary rush photos and video without us asking which was a 2-3 week was turn around. Despite our initial trepidation, we are so happy we booked OLAS. They went above and beyond to make our special day memorable for a lifetime. We are so grateful for their talent and highly recommend Once Like a Spark Wedding Co. to any couple looking for breathtaking photography and videography.”

“Working with Heather & Andrew was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the moment they arrived, they brought such a calm, encouraging energy that instantly made us feel comfortable. They captured every detail, every emotion, and every moment we didn’t even realize we’d want to remember. Our photos are absolutely breathtaking!!! They somehow managed to be everywhere at once without ever feeling intrusive. The candid shots, the portraits, the tiny in-between moments… all of it feels like a perfect retelling of our day. We will genuinely treasure these photos forever. If you’re looking for someone who is talented, professional, kind, and truly invested in your vision, definitely go with Heather & Andrew! We booked photographers and got magicians!!! I didn’t know we could look that good! Not only did we get amazing photos, we got new friends! They’re the best. Absolutely 11/10 recommend!!!”

Hi, I’m Carson, and I’m based in Columbia, SC! I have been photographing weddings and elopements for over seven years! I was born and raised in East Tennessee but have lived all over the country. 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.

“We absolutely loved working with Carson! We used Carson Lillard Photography for both my bridal session and our wedding day, and she made the whole experience so easy. One of my favorite things about working with her was how quickly we got our photos back. There was seriously no waiting! The day after our wedding, I woke up feeling sad that it was already over, and then Carson delivered our wedding photos that afternoon. It was such a fun surprise and honestly made my day. She was also so laid-back throughout the entire wedding day. I never felt like we were spending hours taking pictures or missing out on our reception. She kept things moving while still getting all the photos we wanted, which I really appreciated. We are so happy with our photos and would absolutely recommend Carson Lillard Photography!”

I’m based in North Georgia, but always happy to travel wherever the love (and the good vibes) take me... I believe wedding photos should be the kind you hold onto forever ..the ones that make you feel something every single time you look at them. If you’re loving my work and feel like we might be the right fit, I’d love to connect! I take on a limited number of weddings each year so I can really get to know my couples. You’re not just another booking to me.. I truly care about creating a connection, capturing your story, and hopefully becoming friends along the way (besties if we’re lucky!!

She takes time to get to know you as a couple and you can see that in her pictures. Our photos are BEAUTIFUL! She’s become our lifetime photographer!”

“If I could give Brayley more than 5 stars, I absolutely would!! From the very beginning, she was amazing. She was so communicative when I was first looking for a wedding photographer, and as the wedding got closer, she was always quick to answer my questions and put my mind at ease. She made the whole process feel so much less stressful. On our wedding day, she was everything we could have hoped for. She was friendly, organized, and so helpful, and she truly helped the day run smoothly. She made my husband, me, and our entire wedding party feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera, which made such a difference. She was also just so much fun to be around. She brought the best energy all day and was the sweetest hype woman and cheerleader, which I absolutely loved. She made us feel so confident and made taking pictures feel easy. When she sent us our sneak peeks, we were honestly blown away. My stepmom and I might be a little biased, but we both agreed they’re some of the most beautiful wedding photos we’ve ever seen. We are absolutely obsessed with them!! Brayley is so talented at what she does, and I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer, and we’re so grateful she was part of our wedding day.”
