We never dreamed we would have such amazing photos of our special day, and we are beyond blessed and grateful to have learned about this talented team. Mamarazzi Photography is affordable, flexible, relaxed, communicative, creative and professional - my husband and I highly recommend this business to any couple planning their wedding.

OLAS were the easiest vendor I worked with throughout the wedding process. Their quick and efficient communication gave me the peace of mind I needed when it came to wedding photos. I had a very specific vision for our imagery, and OLAS and our photographer were more than accommodating as I neurotically guided some photos. Our photographer came equipped with a great attitude and even better skills in capturing our day, and I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photography experience.

The quality of their work was truly one-of-a-kind - their photos are gorgeous, superb, innovative, and incredibly detail-oriented and precise.

After our wedding, when our oldest son was leaving for bootcamp, Sean thoughtfully sent us additional photos that had been taken during the celebration, which are now cherished keepsakes for our family.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Steven and his team to do our wedding photos and videography. I really wanted a photographer that could capture the soul of the event, and Steven did exactly that. His photos are full of life, and I shared so many portraits with guests that actually got printed out or posted online. If you're looking for hundreds of photos of your wedding party that look exactly the same and for every planned second to be documented, Steven is not your person. If you're looking to hit the big moments but focus on capturing raw moments with timeless photos to get framed, I couldn't recommend them more. I never thought I would get a wedding video because it always seemed cheesy to me. But after watching examples of his work I fell absolutely in love with his videos. I've honestly had a hard time watching ours because it evokes so much emotion. Steven was collaborative and willing to go with the flow. We gave him the difficult task of being prepared for 3 different locations with totally differing lighting (indoor/outdoor plus shooting from high sun into the night). He puts an immense amount of care into his work and the photos are truly art that we will cherish forever. If there are specific things you want covered, be sure to share a list. When it comes to capturing the moments that can't be planned, he is on the case!

With covid hitting and disrupting all of our original plans, we are so lucky and blessed to have had a vendor team as flexible and understanding. Your vendors are your right hand when it comes to pulling off an amazing wedding you’ve always dreamt of. You want your pictures and videos to remind you of that beautiful day. Joey not only delivered that gift to us but he also managed to do it super fast! We had about 125 images back within 2weeks, 1300+ images back within a month and our wedding videos back within 1.5months. We are so happy with the results!

I have been a photographer since 2017 and have shot over 200 weddings to date. If you’re looking to add an ally to your wedding team you are in the right place! We will provide consultation to avoid the common wedding day hiccups. Whether it’s running behind schedule or securing the best available locations for your photos. Have you ever modeled before? Probably not, and that’s ok!! We have successfully worked with all personality types. Our goal is to bring your vision to life. No two weddings should be the same. We will approach your special day as a huge collaborative effort.

Not sure where to start.  Manai totally took us by surprise.  We knew we wanted something a little different but weren’t sure what exactly.  Personally, I hate taking photos, but he kept us engaged with conversation and simple directions, and things flowed naturally.  His sense of humor was a pleasant surprise.   My fiancé really wanted a good pic with our dog, and Manai totally blew us away.  So creative!!  Highly recommended!!!!

My husband and I are so pleased that we hired Candace for our wedding day photography. She honestly went way above and beyond to make sure that our needs were met and that we were informed and comfortable through every step of the process. She was such a pleasure to work with, she is very professional but also warm and friendly and gives great directions. Our photos turned out better than we could have imagined, we are so pleased with the work that she did for us. You can tell that we were having a lot of fun while we were taking them, and they are beautifully shot and edited. I would highly recommend Candace Marie Photography!

Hi, I'm Hannah! I’m a Greenville, SC wedding photographer, available for weddings throughout the Carolinas, Georgia, and beyond. I love soft light, rich color, timeless edits, happy tears, a focus on the little details, and couples who are really, really into each other.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hannah photographed our engagement session, our welcome party and rehearsal dinner, and our wedding day—and every single album turned out absolutely perfect. She captured everything with such care, blending beautifully posed shots with those in-the-moment, documentary-style images that feel so real and alive. Her editing is soft, natural, and timeless. As a person, Hannah is just wonderful. My husband and I have never felt truly comfortable in front of a camera, but she guided us through every step and made the entire experience fun and relaxed. We felt like ourselves, and it shows in the photos. We couldn’t be happier with our images or our experience. Hannah is truly exceptional.
