  • Photographer
  • Classic style

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!”

West Columbia, SC
  • Florist
  • Starts at $3,000

Hi! Thanks for taking the time to learn a little about me & my love of floral design. My deep passion for flowers began in college. I was captivated with their untouched natural beauty and had joy in creating art with them. By the time I graduated college, I ditched my accounting degree and went full time at a flower shop. It was there I grew in both my knowledge of flowers and my ability to create beautiful pieces with them. A few years later, I kick started my own business specializing in weddings. It’s a dream come true to make floral designs that will enhance all the memories made. A true honor!

“Erin with Eden Florals was absolutely incredible! From the very beginning, her communication was fantastic—she was so kind, attentive, and easy to work with, making the whole process stress-free and enjoyable. When it came to our wedding florals, I gave Erin my vision: colors, budget, and a few must-have items. I completely trusted her creative expertise, and she far exceeded every expectation I had. The florals were absolutely breathtaking—I couldn’t stop staring at how stunning everything looked! My bouquet was so gorgeous, and I’m still kicking myself for not preserving it because, wow, it was a work of art. If you’re looking for someone to bring your floral dreams to life, I highly, highly recommend Eden Florals. Erin has such an incredible talent, and she made our special day even more beautiful than I could have imagined. Thank you so much, Erin!”

Her prices were very fair and definitely worth paying the extra for her to travel. She was so sweet and made me feel like an actual princess on my wedding day.

Hey friend, I'm Lauren. I love blue hour, antiquing, a quality documentary, my people, snuggling with my husband, loving our bernedoodle, Junie, and a vanilla oat milk latte at literally any time of the day. My love for photography stems from my desire to capture moments, and my love of color. I have always sought to express emotion through fashion, imagery and creativity. My photography is an overflow of that. I have been professionally photographing wedding for 8 years now, and I have an A.A. degree in arts. I tend to have a more photojournalistic approach to photography, and strive to capture the true emotion of your special day.

“As the owner and lead wedding planner of Balazs Events, I have had the pleasure of working alongside Lauren Ryals Photography at many weddings, and she is truly wonderful! Lauren is incredibly talented, professional, dependable, and such a calming presence throughout the wedding day. As a planner, I deeply value photographers who communicate well, work collaboratively with the entire vendor team, and understand how every part of the wedding day fits together. Lauren does all of that beautifully. She helps couples feel comfortable, handles the emotions and energy of the day with ease, and captures every moment with so much care and intention. I am always happy to see Lauren’s name on a vendor team and would confidently recommend her to any couple looking for a talented photographer they can trust!”

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
