Awarded Best of Zola
Searching for a wedding photographer can be really overwhelming but finding Madison was the best thing that could have happen to us! She was absolutely amazing—so sweet and attentive. She took our engagement and wedding photos and we are blown away at her skills. All her photos turn out bright and beautiful, capturing every moment perfectly. My husband and I have different styles in photos but she took the time to understand our preferences and made sure to photograph everything just the way we wanted. We are very awkward in front of the camera and never know how to pose… but her instructions make it easy and seem like we are naturals. We 10000/10 recommend Madison as your wedding photographer. She’s a true gem!

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.

What can I say, Rhett Marley is an absolute dream to work with. From beginning to end, engagement photos to wedding, intro call to planning call - his love, attention to detail, passion, kindness, and talent shine in every shot, every conversation, and in every photo. Rhett masterfully captured our wedding from beginning to end, all our guests loved him. He made it a point to interact with all of them to capture their images while at an intimate destination wedding. Rhett knew where my husband and I were throughout the entirety of the night - so we always had photos taken with guests when they requested them. I had a bold vision for drone shots at and around our venue, Rhett was excited and executed my vision flawlessly. Matt and I have plans to come to Charleston yearly and we know Rhett will always be trusted to take our photos, and one day, our family photos. I cannot recommend him enough!

Working with Kristy was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. She was communicative with the process of wedding planning and was flexible with our schedule.

The day of our wedding, Kristy arrived on time (6am!) and was able to capture beautiful sunrise pictures. She was so great with our big crazy family.

Taylor Rae Photography 

5.0

Charleston, SC
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,800

It brings me so much joy to photograph two people in love. That’s why I adore working with couples who know that their marriage is about SO MUCH MORE than just their wedding day. It’s all the days that follow. It’s choosing your spouse each and every day. Your wedding day will be perfect, not because everything went according to plan, but because you said YES to the love of your life. And I see it as a huge honor when a couple chooses me to document such an important day in their lives! When past brides describe my style, they say words like, “joyful,” “romantic,” “warm,” “bright,” and “photos that actually look like me!”

If you are looking for a wedding photographer, look no further! Taylor is your woman! My husband is not a huge fan of having his photo taken, so my main concern was finding someone that would make him feel comfortable. Little did I know how much Taylor would calm my nerves on our wedding day. She is such a light, but fun presence and I think that is reflected in how natural our photos felt. They truly reflect us, our love and the feeling of our big day. The only trouble you'll have is figuring out which of the hundreds of amazing photos you want to print. Seriously, is there a limit to how many wedding photos you should display in your home? She is the best!

Priscilla Thomas Photography

Charleston, SC
  • Photojournalistic style

Icelandic-born but raised stateside in New Mexico and South Carolina – thanks to the United States Air Force. My love of storytelling began as a child when I asked for a typewriter for Christmas. Friends and I composed neighborhood newsletters featuring imaginary residents along our street in Alamogordo, NM. After moving to Charleston, I was a yearbook and school newspaper staff member. Words transitioned to visual storytelling soon after I graduated from the College of Charleston. After freelancing for a couple of years, I studied at Ohio University. Focusing on visual communication, I concentrated on photojournalism and multimedia.

Priscilla and Davis were the best to work with. As a pretty laid back bride with very little of my own input other than wanting beautiful pictures and memories, Priscilla captured EXACTLY what I asked for and more! She is amazing to work with and I highly recommend her! We love our photos

Chrisman Studios is a wedding photography studio based in Charleston, South Carolina. Since 2005, we’ve photographed 1000+ clients in 30+ countries. Our industry has recognized us with 250+ photography awards and we’ve been featured in publications around the world, including People Magazine and CNN. That means you can rest easy knowing the photos we create for you will be beautiful, meaningful, and spectacularly unique. We’d love to tell your story next.

Awarded Best of Zola
The Chrismans' superpower is their elevated professionalism and ability to make you feel like your best self. You could say I found my wedding photographers before I found my husband. I've known Ben and Erin for over 15 years. Over the years, I've worked with them numerous times over the years. Ben & Erin photographed my engagement session in Scottsdale, AZ. Then they photographed our wedding weekend in Lake Como, Italy. Every photo they took from our trip in Italy is my most prized possession! It was like having friends photograph the first most important day of my life. My pictures are emotional, sentimental, and vibrant. While I was living in the moment at my wedding, they were documenting moments I didn't even see happening. Today, I cherish the variety of pictures they captured of my Mom and me at my wedding, her happiest of times, and now, all I have left to remember her. She loved Ben & Erin because they are not just friendly people, they are intelligent, fun to be around, adventurous and kind-hearted people. Above all, they are the most communicative and creative photographers I have ever met. They always surpass my expectations. Next month, we will hire them to photograph our business headshots in Charleston, SC. I trust them to make me look good and capture my best-looking self (maybe even better than myself). They know the right thing to do in every moment. I wouldn't just recommend them, I'd tell you to hire them before they book up.

  • Serves Charleston, SC

I’m Madison, but you can call me Maddy. You should know right off the bat, I’m not your typical wedding photographer. As a journalist, I was trained to see the story in everything. Now, as a photographer, I use storytelling to connect with people. And the stories I want to tell are adventurous, unbiased, natural, emotive love stories. So let’s skip the small talk. I want to hear about your biggest life hurdles, your aspirations, your journey, and the things that ignite your soul. Let’s skip the pomp and circumstance, too. If your dream is to marry your partner on a mountaintop, I’ll grab my hiking boots.

Oh my goodness... Madison Krupp is an absolute gem. She has the kindest heart, and makes you feel completely at ease! Having her take our wedding photos felt so easy and natural - she has such a calming way about her that almost makes you forget photos are even being taken! My husband and I had so much fun spending time posing, laughing, and really taking in those special moments together. I absolutely adore our wedding photos, and will treasure them forever. We couldn't of asked for a better person to photograph our day - she captured every moment so perfectly. In a professional setting, she is wonderful to work with as well. I work at a wedding venue and absolutely love when Maddy and I get the opportunity to work alongside each other at weddings + events. She is professional, warm, and cares deeply for her clients and her work. Thank you for all you do, MK!

From the moment we booked George Street Photo and Video, their communication was quick, easy, and accommodating. The quality of their work and value was truly exceptional - the photos they captured were absolutely beautiful, and their team was attentive to every detail. The photographer was non-stop throughout our wedding day, capturing amazing shots that I will cherish forever. At first I was hesitant to go with a larger company rather than an individual photographer, but they easily matched me with a photographer who fit my style perfectly. I couldn't be happier with how it all turned out - it was an affordable and seamless process, and I received all of my prints very quickly.

More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

We absolutely loved working with OLAS! Our team (photo & video) was so adaptable to the venue and had great ideas for shots and making the most of the location. I loved all of the candids taken of the guests which is something I wanted during the ceremony and reception. We were able to see parts of the night that we would have missed. The planning team was also great- Hannah was very helpful in giving me an example timeline ahead of our call. We’re so pleased with our choice to select OLAS!

I present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story. After all, there is so much happening on a wedding day. Between the ceremony, dancing, and endless extravaganzas, the most memorable moments will naturally occur.  My goal is to capture the emotions and memories of your day through my lens. These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

My husband and I were from out of town and hired Sean to photograph us at a Christmas gala at the place we got married. He was accommodating to last minute changes to make the most of the session and even went above and beyond to make it happen. Upon first impression, he was upbeat and had a vision. We were outside in sub 30 degree weather with fading evening light as well as low light inside a building and he was up for the challenge. We ended up with beautiful images in less than ideal conditions and that is what makes a great photographer. Sean has a sense of humor and an eye for that perfect photograph. He was fun to work with and his heart for people and creativity shows through. Thank you Sean for capturing this time in our lives.

Sydney was beyond excellent! She helped my husband and I pose, directed us on which shots would look best and did a great job keeping us on track for our timeline! She captured the moments where true emotion showed through and was able to get my sneak peak pictures to me within a couple days. Which I know was difficult with how much goes into editing, so that alone speaks to her work ethic not behind the camera! I have so many wonderful things to say about her I’m not sure it will all fit! She’s overall an easy going person to get along with and had a great time with us, we are even looking into doing another shoot with her in the future! Overall 100/10 book her if you haven’t already!

I am so glad you're here! I LOVE my family and I am OBSESSED with anything Kate Spade and if I could live in yoga pants, I would. My favorite thing to do other than photography is cook. I am lucky my husband and kiddos love eating as much as they do! We love the beach and anything Disney! I fully believe in having ice cream for breakfast and I cannot pass by a good Italian restaurant without going in. My heart melts when my boy says I love you or kisses my cheek. Being a photographer has allowed me to freeze some of our sweetest moments and I hope to be able to do that for you. xoxo

I don’t have enough words to describe how much we love Lauren! We were recommended by a friend to Lauren for our wedding in 2017. We had met with 8 (yes eight!!) photographers before Lauren and from the minute we sat down with her, we knew she was special. Her attention to detail and care about us and our family was exceptional. I don’t even really remember seeing my own wedding planner more than twice on my wedding day but Lauren was there every second keeping me calm and making sure I was ready for every moment of the day and night. A few weeks after our wedding, we received our photos and my husband and i cried tears of joy looking through the best day of our lives. Your wedding is the fastest day of your life and to be able to relive it from the outside through these amazing photos was the best gift we could receive. Since 2017, we have used Lauren for ALL of our family shoots for holidays and special occasions. We will never look elsewhere. Do yourself a favor and contact Lauren! It will be the best decision you will ever make for your wedding!!

As a wedding officiant, I had the pleasure of meeting and working with King on a beach destination (the couple are Canadians) wedding. It was a crazy, blustery day on the beach but King was a total pro, taking time before the ceremony, to go over my normal movements and special moments that the couple had planned. Afterwards, he even prepared - less than a week later - a small gallery of ceremony moments just for me, emailing me a link and permission to use. The photos were fabulous! I had taken a few with my iPhone - and while I knew his would be better, his totally blew me away. I can't wait to work with Journeys Photography 941 again!

My husband and I got married in September in Providence, RI. I knew I wanted a photographer that was bright and colorful because of the venue and vibe of the day. I was nervous I wasn’t going to be able to find someone and would need to settle because I planned our wedding in 4 months. The original photographer I reached out to was not available and gave me Maria’s information. I was excited that she had the availability on such short notice, but once we had our first call with her I knew we had made the right decision and the day was going to be a blast. Communication up to our wedding was precise and clear. When the day came, it felt like we had known Maria and Jackson our entire lives. It was like hanging out with some of our closest friends. They made sure we got all the shots that we wanted, but also still enjoyed every second of the day. We did do a first look so it helped with picture timing but what was considered our cocktail hour (the entire night was cocktail style) they followed us around and took candida and groups when necessary. It was perfect. Not once did we feel like we had taken too many pictures. We got married on a rooftop but they also made sure that we had shots in the city streets and a large variety of locations. When we got our sneak peaks I was truly speechless (and ugly crying). I was absolutely blown away by how PERFECTLY they had captured our day. You could feel the joy radiating from the photos and the colors and clarity was unbelievable. I am still speechless and in awe of how amazing our pictures came out. Our day was absolutely perfect but Maria and Jackson for sure made it memorable with the most breathtaking pictures. They truly tell a story and how fun the entire night was. I look at the photos constantly and I don’t foresee that stopping anytime soon. We get SO many compliments from people about how beautiful they are and everyone asks who the photographer was. I 100000% recommend MTD Photo. Hands down one of the best decisions we could’ve made for the day.

I absolutely can't give Tori + Jason with Dandelion Weddings + Co. enough stars!!! Highly exceptional and professional. Both lively, upbeat, and were truly like part of the family. Jason and Tori and kind, considerate and passionate. I don't know what I would have done without Tori's honesty when hiring a photographer, her willingness to help me book my additional vendors. Giving us both a piece of mind by covering our wedding with Liability Insurance, so we wouldn't be held responsible for so many things I never ever thought to consider during my wedding. Tori planned my portrait photography and knew exactly what she was doing and where she was doing it logistically, it SAVED so much time after the ceremony. She based our photography off all of the information we gave her and she pays so much attention to details. She also is fun and used prompts during our candid shots to where they were the topic of conversation during our wedding!!! Our guests could not get over how much fun they both were. Tori and Jason also had another side of themselves, and that is that they know how to talk to people like they have known them forever. While working with them both so closely- by the time we made it to the day of my event, we already considered them family. They are both so creative and Tori also issued me a Sneak Peek on Social Media within just a day! Her and Jason really know how to treat people and their pricing is very reasonable! After prior searching of a photographer and pricing ranges vs. everything that is included with each one, we found not only did we get exceptional service, had a BLAST, and we received two photographers for the price of one and also received an Online Gallery and so much more. We used their payment plan, and I highly recommend it for those who have a budget or spreading it out makes it more affordable. There isn't even a charge for it! I can't say enough about them both, their services and their quality of work. I HIGHLY- HIGHLY recommend Dandelion Weddings! 20 STARS!!!! ********************

This is the tough part, telling you about me. I’m very humble and absolutely love capturing moments as a photographer, but this little bio thing is for the birds. How about we meet, grab some coffee and talk it up a little bit. That’s how you get to know me and I learn about you and your family. I believe in images that are itching to be printed, placed in beautiful frames and hung on walls for years to come. Yes, I love my cute usb drives I deliver to you however show me your walls!

Rodney and his lovely assistant made our wedding day absolutely memorable!! They are truly talented and the absolute best photographer in and around Savannah. We couldn't have asked for our special day to be captured in more of an intimate, unique way. If you're on the fence, let this be the review that solidifies your choice to choose OMOS!! You will NOT be disappointed!!
