Carson Lillard Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (26 reviews)
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves West Columbia, 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.

We have no regrets with Carson photographing our surprise proposal and engagement photos! There were a lot unknown variables on the day of the proposal and Carson was very flexible and helpful through it all. She even came back out the next morning to finish our engagement session because of a surprise rain storm. She is kind and knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. Book her for your engagement, you won't regret it!

Melissa G Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
West Columbia, SC
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,500

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!

Shot By Shante Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves West Columbia, 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
Ashante as well as Allante the videographer; made sure that our entire day was captured! All of our pictures came out so beautiful including our engagement shoot! If we had to do it over, we’d choose them again! Such wonderful vibes and professionalism.

The sneak peaks we received are just incredible, and we are so excited to see the full gallery. I cannot recommend Sam and Brady enough to anyone else needing a wedding photography team!

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
Isaac’s photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking.
