Lindsay was by far the best vendor of our whole wedding. She made the day so enjoyable and stress-free with her amazing energy and talent. Aside from being fabulous at her job, she is so thoughtful and lovely. As a bride and groom who were extremely camera shy, she made us feel totally comfortable the entire time and the photos turned out better than we could have ever imagined. We still keep in touch with her and can’t recommend her enough! Lindsay is the absolute best all around.

Christina photographed our November 2022 wedding in Charleston, SC. We first contacted Christina after seeing her work on Instagram. The quality and style of her images stood out in a crowd of hundreds of Charleston wedding photographers. We had an engagement session with Christina a few months before our wedding. It was useful to practice posing and working together ahead of our wedding. Leading up to wedding day, she was consistently communicative and punctual. She was able/ willing to help and lend suggestions in all aspects of the wedding planning process. On the wedding day, things ran late but Christina managed to hit the ground running with family formals in the church and bridal party pictures downtown (a 40 min drive) and then we made it to the reception in plenty of time. She navigated all family and friend dynamics and knew when to blend into the background and when to assert herself to get the best pictures. Christina is a joy to work with. We received many compliments from family and friends about how much they enjoyed Christina on our wedding day. We received our complete album shortly after the wedding and her pictures are beautiful! The connection and ease we found with her shows through in the final product. We will treasure these photos forever.

Awarded Best of Zola
Nick is a gem!! We are so thankful that he photographed our wedding. My partner and I had a lot of requests, and Nick accommodated them all while never making us feel difficult. He listened carefully to what was important to us - for my husband it was not stopping the party to take pictures and for me it was LOTS of candids of our loved ones. Somehow Nick made it happen!! We got gorgeous photos of the two of us just being ourselves with each other and amazing dance floor shots of our guests having the best time! With no posing!! The colors in the photos are fantastic -- even though Nick does AMAZING work outdoors he makes indoor photography feel just as special. Nick made a special effort to take a lot of photos of my grandparents and our parents specifically which we will treasure in years to come. Our friends said that the photos "look like how the day felt" which felt so right. We were amazed by how many micro moments between guests Nick captured!! Reliving the day via the photos is now my favorite past time. To top it all off, Nick was incredibly kind and calm throughout the day. Everyone in our families raved about how nice our photographer was. He worked with our coordinator for our timeline to run on schedule without ever making us feel rushed. We got to be fully present all day long. It was the exact energy you want by your side throughout your wedding. If we could change one thing it would have been having Nick for more time!!

It's hard to pick favorites but if your wedding includes a dog in the bridal party, a dress with pockets and the cupid shuffle....COUNT ME IN! Among my never-ending list of dream sessions is of course a wedding at Disneyworld and the ultimate outdoorsy engagement session with the wild horses at Shackleford Banks. Don't be surprised when I ask you to add me to your pinterest boards so I can fangirl over your wedding plans.

I travel all over Michigan capturing my clients from Lansing to Grand Rapids to the west coast of Lake Michigan to Mackinac Island & Traverse City to all metro Detroit!

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.

We hired Elle & Co for our engagement photos and left our session feeling like we were in the hands of pros which helped us feel confident going into our wedding day. Dani and Jed are very professional but are also laid back and fun to be around. They not only went above and beyond on our wedding on our wedding day by running around everywhere and grabbing things for us and setting up photo ops and being ready at every turn but the photos are beyond what we wanted. 100/10 recommend!

Choosing Felisha to be our wedding photographer truly was one of best decisions we made throughout our planning process. Right from the first phone call with her we could feel her excitement, passion and love for being a photographer. She made us feel comfortable and was there with us every step of the way for the whole time we got to work together. We chose to do our engagement photos with her and she knew just how to shake out all our nerves/shyness, making the whole process fun and stress free. The engagement photos were so beautiful and perfect to use for our Save the Dates. On our wedding day, Felisha was a constant source of genuine joy. She worked with our families and the vendor team seamlessly. She was always there to guide us, she kept everyone on time and she reminded me on multiple occasions to take a second to soak everything in. I had numerous family members and friends come up to me to tell me how amazing our photographer was throughout the night and in the weeks that followed. She laughed with our loved ones, she cried with our loved ones and she broke it down on the dance floor with everyone all while taking the most beautiful photos. And don't even get me started on the film! I will never run out of good things to say about Felisha. She photographed moments that we will cherish forever. She took the time to get to know us as a couple and on the day of our wedding she knew exactly how to capture all the special snippets of our day that would mean the most to look back on. We love Felisha and if we could do it again we would absolutely choose her!

Once we saw our engagement shoot pictures, I knew we had made the right decision in selecting someone to capture our special day! Megan helped us develop a timeline and prioritize elements and details of our wedding that were most important for us to capture. Our whole wedding day, I felt very comfortable and confident- I knew Megan understood our vision. She was very accommodating, making sure to capture what was important to us. Again, she made being in front of the camera feel effortless. I am blown away with the sneak peek pictures we got back. She absolutely captured our vision, our guests, and my husband and I perfectly.

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.

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!

Molly Madeira Photography

I’m Molly! An enneagram 6, lover of sunshine, making genuine connections, discovering new places, and living life to the fullest. My photography journey began with a simple love for people and their stories. Over the past five years, I’ve had the privilege of working with some of the most incredible couples, and preserving their most treasured memories.

Awarded Best of Zola
When my wife and I found Molly’s name and examples of her work online amongst other photographers in our area, something special about her style and her eye really caught our attention. Little did we know at that time how wonderful of a person she was as well. We first asked Molly to help us shoot an intimate elopement in a local park and were blown away by her ability to capture the whole afternoon so well for us and how comfortable it was having her there. We didn’t think twice when it came to finding a photographer for a wedding reception/celebration one year later. We were thrilled to have her with us again and within days of the event, we were sent a beautifully organized series of albums full of wonderfully captured memories. All edited to perfection. We can’t thank Molly enough and will be hiring her for events as long as she’ll stick around!

In Bloom Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,785
  • Serves Charleston, SC

Admittedly a hopeless romantic, I simply LOVE love. The beautiful season of life that you're in right now is a gift! Having a photographer you trust throughout the entire wedding planning process, as well as someone willing to advocate for you on your big day, is such an important role, and my biggest honor. The name In Bloom is inspired by my love for flowers and how they can be seen as a metaphor for life. A delicate staple of beauty that grows and withstands the elements, ultimately blooming and weathering the ever- changing seasons. My passion flourishes in capturing life's moments that are beautiful and fleeting, like a flower In Bloom.

Christan is the most warm, caring individual you’ll ever meet. From my first consultation phone call to the dedication she showed in completing our wedding photo gallery, I felt cared for and highly important to her. Not only is she amazing to work with but her photographs made me feel beautiful and will be timeless. My husband and I felt so comfortable taking photos when we’ve never had professional photos taken. If you’re looking for a photographer for any special event, I can not recommend Christan enough. I would have spent 10 times the investment to have had Christan be our photographer. Long story short, Christan is the best and her photography skills are unmatched. Every picture in our gallery is AMAZING! Best hype woman!

Hey hey 👋, I’m LaDonna. Wedding photographer & videographer with a passion for celebrating the love stories of couples from all walks of life. Growing up in the suburbs of Boston and attending undergrad in Connecticut, I’m a true New England gal. Winter holds a special place in my heart, as I embrace the beauty and charm of every location I photograph. I’m always delighted to travel wherever your love story takes you—even an Aspen winter elopement. That would honestly make my heart smile! 😊 My mission: create timeless, heirloom-quality artwork that reflects the unique connection & individuality of each couple I have the honor to serve.

Awarded Best of Zola
I’m typically shy and not very photogenic, so I was extremely anxious about how our wedding photos would turn out. But after finding LaDonna through a Facebook ad, I immediately knew I wouldn’t have to worry if she was our photographer. She took the time to understand me and helped me find my confidence in front of the camera. By the wedding day, I felt completely at ease and able to focus on the moment with my husband rather than my insecurities in my head. LaDonna and the LT² team captured everything beautifully, balancing candid moments with fine art shots that truly tell our story. The photos are so authentic, and I’ll cherish these memories forever, along with the confidence I gained. Thank you, LaDonna, for an unforgettable experience! 3 7.27.24

Kelsey is a dream to work with. I looked through her portfolio and knew I wanted to work with her. Not only did I love the engagement shoots she has done, but it was amazing to see that she had done a lot of weddings at the venue I picked. I had her do my engagement photos & 6hrs for the wedding. She was very responsive anytime I reached out. I know wedding season is very busy, I never felt like I was left hanging. While my new husband is comfortable in-front of the camera, I was very much not. Kelsey is great at guiding and making you feel comfortable. Our engagement photos were something different from her portfolio, the arcade, and she did a phenomenal job like I knew she would. Stephanie assisted us on the day of the wedding and she was wonderful too. I provided a detailed shot list for the family portraits and she did a great job navigating the family. After dinner Kelsey was able to provide me with a sneak peek of my photos. I am so excited to see the rest of my photos!
