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.

She even provided an extra shooter on the big day to make sure every moment was captured perfectly. Her sweet and warm personality made the whole experience so enjoyable. We were a bit nervous in front of the camera, but Carson made us feel so comfortable, even playing music and attending to all the little details to ensure we looked and felt our best. She also did our engagement shoot and delivered the most stunning pictures. If you want someone who will go above and beyond to get the perfect photos, Carson is your photographer. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and reliable photographer. Thank you, Carson, for making our special day unforgettable!

Meredith was incredible! I got married in Leicster NC and had Meredith come from SC to do mine and my bridesmaids hair and makeup. 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. What really sets her apart from others is that she focuses on the experience she provides and not just the results. On a day that is very chaotic Meredith was such a calming presence. She also made sure that everyone felt beautiful and was more than willing to change anything anyone didn't like. I cannot recommend her enough she is beyond talented and over all a very genuine and kind person!

They make the perfect team! They flawlessly executed our dream of a simple, rustic wedding and made sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish. They created a detailed timeline, reviewed and refined all my plans, handled every vendor communication, and even saved the day when my Etsy flowers didn’t turn out as expected, they made all new ones for me themselves!

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

Their work was truly incredible - the music during our ceremony was so beautiful and heartfelt, and they had our guests dancing all night long with their upbeat and harmonious sound. We especially appreciated how they engaged with the audience and made sure everyone was having a great time. I would absolutely book Luv Soundz again in a heartbeat, and highly recommend them to any couple looking for top-notch wedding entertainment.

Aberdeen Catery was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very first conversation, their team was professional, organized, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. The food was outstanding, and our guests are still talking about the beef tenderloin and how everything was served hot and beautifully presented. What really stood out was how calm and seamless the entire experience felt. We never had to worry about a thing, and that peace of mind was priceless. If you’re looking for a caterer who delivers incredible food and true professionalism, Aberdeen is it.

Hi there! We’re Samantha and Brady, a husband-and-wife photography team based in Columbia, South Carolina*.
