  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Swansea, SC

Hi, I’m Carson, and I’m based in Columbia, SC! I have been photographing weddings and elopements for over seven years across the country. I recently moved to South Carolina from California, where I lived in Yosemite National Park. 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.

Shot By Shante Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Swansea, SC

Hi, I'm Shanté! My love story with photography began at an early age - Around 7 or 8, I began collecting old pictures of my family, many taken before I was even born. I loved hearing the background story behind each polaroid, featuring beloved members of my family, some of which I never got the pleasure to meet. I was mesmerized by the fact that a single image could be so meaningful, so precious, and so nostalgic. As cliché as it is, it's absolutely true - a picture really is worth a thousand words. ​ It gives me much pride to capture authentic love stories for those who believe that the greatest of these is love. ​ -Shanté

Awarded Best of Zola
It’s ALWAYS a pleasure working with Shanté! She’s very professional and makes you feel comfortable. She has become our family photographer for every special occasion. I highly recommend 10/10.

Melissa G Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Swansea, SC

Born and raised in Miami, Florida, I moved to South Carolina in 2014, and it was the best move I have ever made. The slower paced lifestyle is definitely my jam. I have a Pitbull named Sandy who loves to play and of course eat plenty of treats. I am a huge animal lover and volunteer often at a local animal shelter taking photos to help the pups get adopted. In my free time I am baking or doing anything DIY. I love to explore new places, but I especially love the beach!

We hired Melissa for our out of state Wedding photographer. Being from out of state and hiring a wedding photographer that you don't know can be a little stressful however the second I met Melissa I felt like I had known her forever! She made us feel comfortable and she got all the shots we wanted on our special day! Melissa sent preview photos and got our photos back to us very quickly. We LOVED Melissa and highly recommend her!

Helen Tackett is a certified photographer located in South Carolina with a flair for creating beautiful, timeless images and documenting life through her camera. Originally from Camden, South Carolina. Helen now lives in Lexington with her husband, daughter, and 2 adopted fur-babies. Helen and her family love to travel. Their favorite place to explore are the waterfalls around Brevard, NC and the Greek Island (Paros and Santorini, especially). They are dying to make a third trip back one day!

From the moment we met Helen, we were filled with confidence because of her professionalism and sweet personality. We are so grateful for everything she has done and for giving us the greatest gift we could ever ask for --- being able to relive our wedding (5/2016) through her amazingly stunning pictures. God has truly given Helen a gift! Our wedding day was everything we could have ever hoped for and we are so very thankful that she was there to capture it all! Our friends and family have said how lucky we were to find her and we couldn’t agree more. Helen was much more than a photographer, she became our friend. Working with Helen was truly one of the best parts of our wedding process. From the initial dinner meeting at Café Strudel, to the engagement shoot, the bridal session, to the wedding day, she was extremely supportive, fun and professional. I cannot say enough about how wonderful our experience has been with Calico Photography. Helen captured absolutely beautiful pictures that we will cherish forever. We look forward to our annual sessions with her each year & highly recommend her to everyone!!! TRUE PROFESSIONAL, GENUINE, CARING, & INCREDIBLY TALENTED!

Working with Ashley was such a dream! Her attention to detail and vibes are amazing. We felt a little bit awkward during our engagement photo shoot just because we had not taken professional photos together before and Ashley was able to break the ice and keep us giggling the whole time. Do not question any of the silly things she has you do because your photos will be that much better for it. We would love to work with Ashley again in the future & cannot wait to display her work around our house!

I’m an Asheville-based photographer and lover of the great outdoors, home cooked meals, hot summer days, and going on adventures.

We had the best experience working with Nick for our engagement photos! From the moment we met him, he made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and guided us through poses in a way that felt natural, relaxed, and fun. We shot at The Looking Glass and up in the mountains, and the views and locations he helped us choose were absolutely breathtaking—truly unforgettable. Nick brought such an easy, positive energy to the session and turned what could have been a nerve-wracking experience into one we genuinely enjoyed. Our photos turned out stunning, and we couldn’t be happier. Highly, highly recommend to anyone looking for a photographer who is talented, thoughtful, and amazing to work with!

This career is so much more than just showing up and taking photos. It's emotion, it's detail, it's getting to know my clients and capturing each of them uniquely.

I don't even know where to begin - Dani is simply amazing and if it were possible to give her a 10 star rating, I would. She not only captured my husband and I's intimate mountain top elopement, but her and Jed also followed us through out the rest of the day and photographed our reception that we held with family and friends. We are usually pretty awkward in front of the camera, but they made us feel so comfortable (even at 5am in the morning lol) and our photos prove it. Dani puts so much work into finding the perfect elopement locations and the most flattering lighting. My husband and I are BEYOND ecstatic with how our photos turned out - she captured who we truly are and how much love we have for each other. I can never thank them enough for how much work they put into our elopement and reception day. We are so happy to have these memories forever.

Burlap & Blossom LLC 
Rating: 5.0 (13 reviews)
  • Classic style
  • Serves Swansea, SC

I moved around a lot growing up and I can remember not always loving it. But now, truly grateful for how it's shaped me. My husband was the exact opposite. He had a hometown, graduated high school with childhood friends, knowing every street, and watching every change. I think that is part of the reason we were attracted to each other. One yearning for roots, and the other for branches. Finding them within each other. Finding in each other a home and an adventure. It is hard to remember who I was before him, and hard to imagine my life without him. When I think of him... I smile, I cry, I laugh. This is what makes me feel alive.

Awarded Best of Zola
Burlap & Blossom LLC were absolutely amazing wedding photographers! From the moment we first spoke with Gabby, we knew we had found the perfect fit. Her communication style was amazing - she was so understanding, fun, and down to earth. Gabby went above and beyond on our wedding day, even offering to fix my dress when it ripped. She had such high energy and really helped ease any and all stress we were feeling. The quality of their work is beyond amazing, and we are so thankful to have her capture our special day. Gabby is truly a gem - she is so down to earth and great with communication, letting us know right away about any delays. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding photography experience!

Hello! I’m Sharon and I own Sharon Elisabeth Photography. I feel so grateful every day that I get to capture the most heartfelt moments and feelings that occur during weddings as well as documenting the relationships between people who love each other so much – families, friends and couples! I love to tell the story of a wedding day and capture all the forms of love found there. It’s definitely not an “I have to go to work today” career. For me … it’s “I GET to go to work each day!" There is nothing I would rather do more than have my camera in my hands & working with wonderful people.

Awarded Best of Zola
We booked Sharon for our engagement photos and wedding and any expectation and hope I had for how the photos would turn out were exceeded by Sharon! Her ability to capture the best of both posed photos as well as candids were everything I was looking for. There was not a single tender moment or a moment of laughs that was missed by her and her team and I would recommend her to any and everyone! She also is so patient and quick to communicate and I truly could not have asked for a better experience! Thank so much, Sharon, for getting every precious moment that we can look back on for years to come!

  • Serves Swansea, SC

Love has a way of surprising us. I know this from experience. My husband and I married, divorced, and then found our way back to each other seven years later. That journey taught me something profound: when love is real, it doesn’t follow rules. It evolves. It deepens. It returns. That’s the kind of love I photograph—the kind that chooses each other, again and again. That’s why I do what I do. Weddings aren’t just a beautiful day, they’re your story. The in-between moments, the laughter, the tears, the glances no one else notices--those are the moments I live to capture.

Awarded Best of Zola
Molly did our engagement photos and will be doing our wedding photos. We did not know what to expect, as we've never spent time in front of the camera before but Molly made us feel so comfortable and truly captured the essence of "us". Any nerves immediately dissolved and allowed us to enjoy our engagement shoot. These are pictures we will treasure for the rest of our lives!

Hi, my name is Faith. I have been passionate about photography since 2017, when I first picked up a camera to capture my dogs growing up. What started as a simple love for photographing my pups has evolved into a deep passion for capturing moments that tell a story. Traveling is another love of mine, and Africa holds a particularly special place in my heart. I have been fortunate enough to visit four times, with hopes to have many more trips. When I am not behind the camera, I'm either coaching gymnastics, spending time with my two dogs and horse, or exploring the world around me.

Awarded Best of Zola
Faith was absolutely amazing throughout my entire engagement photos and wedding process. I couldn’t be happier with the way my pictures came out. I looked at her site and her style is exactly what I wanted and she stayed true to that when delivering our final pics. Both our engagement session and wedding pictures blew me away. She was always so accommodating about shot ideas I had, location ideas, you name it - but also helped so much with giving us ideas and my husband and I are awkward so that was much needed haha! She was also amazing with my crazy family and friends day of. The value of her services is completely unbeatable. I was nervous about this big purchase as it was the largest budget item I paid for my day and it was more than worth every penny - looking back I’d pay even more because I am so happy. Thank you Faith you truly are the sweetest!

I started photography in 2017 and after being a part of many weddings, engagements, and family sessions, I still love what I do and I am deeply dedicated to serving my clients. I consider myself a storyteller and love capturing the little details, the half-smiles, and the simple motions. For me, it is about seeing the real, the lovely, and the messy moments, the everyday magic that tells the stories of our lives. Each wedding and session has its own unique story to tell and I challenge myself to capture those stories through my camera as best as I can and would be honored to capture yours too!

I’m Morgan — the face behind Morgan Foth Photography! My husband, Justin, and I are a photo + video duo based in York, SC, capturing unique love stories across the Carolinas. We’re down-to-earth, a little goofy, and love helping couples who “aren’t photo people” feel confident and comfortable in front of the lens. If being in front of a camera feels awkward, don’t worry — that’s my specialty. I’ll crack jokes, play third wheel, and make you forget the camera’s even there. When you book both photo and video, you get our full dream team to capture your day from every angle — all the laughs, tears, and dance floor chaos included.

Morgan Foth Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the start, their communication was clear and consistent, which put us at ease throughout the planning process. She even had us send her a Pinterest board so she could study the aesthetic we were wanting for our day. On our wedding day, Morgan and her co-shooter Lauren went above and beyond to ensure we had an amazing experience. They had excellent ideas but also listened closely to the vibe we were going for, resulting in photos that perfectly captured the uniqueness of our special day. As someone who is not always comfortable in front of a camera, I felt so at ease working with them. Both my husband and I have said we would work with Morgan again in a heartbeat. She really went the extra mile, providing us with a mini album and a custom candle in addition to the stunning photos. I cannot recommend Morgan Foth Photography enough - they truly made our day a joy!
