Oury Memories

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $1,200
  • Serves Columbia, SC

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

Hi there! I’m Emma CotéEwers, your East Coast & Destination Wedding and Lifestyle Photographer! My work is a seamless blend of traditional heirloom portraiture, lively artistic shots, and a little ​photojournalism if the day calls for it. With a true-to-color, film-inspired approach, I strive to craft visuals that capture love, ​laughter, and those beautifully authentic moments that weave together the story of your ​wedding! I feel like these should include fun ​facts? Patsy Cline’s Walkin’ After Midnight is my favorite song and I am currently on my 8th ​nostalgic binge of Gilmore Girls (which might just be fueling my banter lately).

I cannot say enough good things about Emma - she is always flexible, knowledgeable, and shows up with the best energy to every event! When I wasn’t sure where I wanted to take bridals, she was happy to make suggestions based on the vibe I was going for - and I very much appreciated one less thing on my plate! She delivers high quality, beautiful photos every single time and is the artist behind so many of my most cherished memories! I would absolutely recommend Coté and Camera - you won’t regret it!

Awarded Best of Zola
I highly recommend Madalina Price Photography as a bride and as a professional wedding & event planner. I first worked with Madalina as a MOH for my best friends wedding in 2020. She did such a wonderful job, that I reached out to her to do my own wedding in 2023. Madalina did a fantastic job not only with our wedding photos, but also with my bridal portraits and boudoir shoot. She even did my professional headshots. Anytime I need photos, I go to Madalina; she is so talented and can truly do it all! All I had to do was show Madalina a photo I liked and she made it happen! Madalina is direct with large groups like bridal party and family, taking the pressure off the bride and groom to make everything perfect, but always kind. Throughout every moment, she was helpful and made me feel very comfortable. This was especially helpful for my bridal portraits and boudoir shoot. I recommend Madalina to all my friends, family, and clients and I look forward to every chance I get to work with her!

Ney was amazing throughout the planning process and the day of! We loved our engagement photos and were floored by our wedding photos! He was able to capture a lot of laughs and love through the photos. My husband hates posing for photos, but Ney was able to guide both of us for the perfect picture. Unfortunately our wedding day got rained out by a tropical storm so we weren’t able to take many of the planned photos outside. Ney was super kind and offered to meet up with us after our honeymoon to take those shots that we couldn’t the day of. Forever grateful for that. Thank you so much!

It's been 20 years and 5 jewels later since our "I do" moment. We are passionate about capturing the beginning of a lifetime of love. This is more than a business to us. It's a passion! Our motto is: "Love the moment. Live it forever."

I was fortunate to find Enamored for my wedding. In the limited time I had, Alegna kept me on target to get everything done. It’s obvious she’s done a lot of weddings. I don’t think anyone else could help me pull off a beautiful wedding in less than a month. The pictures taken by Mel are simply marvelous. He has an easy going demeanor that made us comfortable when taking pictures and he’s always thinking about the next shot which made the photo sessions quick but thorough. The whole family was instrumental in the wedding being stress free and wonderful. I can’t imagine what they could do with more planning time!

For as long as I can remember I have always loved to create. My passion for photography started when I was a teen. As I honed in on my craft I began to photograph on a more professional level right out of high school, but stepped away for academic pursuits. After completing both a bachelors and master's degree in Anthropology, I came full circle, determining that a career in doing something creative was where my heart lies. Whether it is your wedding, or any other special moment in your life, I cherish the opportunity to document it in a way that highlights the artistic elements, while still capturing an authenticness that is uniquely you.

Alyssa and her husband were an efficient, friendly, and reliable team who captured all the special moments from our big day. Their communication style made planning easy, and they worked seamlessly in the background on our wedding day to get fantastic shots without ever being intrusive. The quality of Alyssa's work is excellent - the photos are timeless, classic, and thorough in documenting our wedding from start to finish. We absolutely loved having Alyssa there and can't recommend her highly enough! Her photography style results in gorgeous, meaningful images that we will treasure forever. We're so grateful we chose Alyssa Marie Photography to document our special day.

Megan Pitts Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,100
  • Serves Columbia, SC

My philosophy is simple... I am here to tell the story of the day you married the love of your life. I want to document the excitement of you getting ready with your best friends, the look on your mother's face when she sees you in your dress for the first time, and the tears your father cries during the father - daughter dance, and that "Oh my God, we are really married?!" look of joy on your faces as you walk down the aisle as a married couple for the first time. I will pose you and guide you when necessary, but I believe when you are focusing on each other and really soaking in those moments --- that's when the magic happens.

Megan was the best photographer we could have ever asked for! She captured every aspect of our wedding day from start to finish. She was on time, communicative, and sent the pictures back in a timely manner. She made my husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera and helped pose us when need. She also created our wedding album that came out beautifully!

She made every session fun and comfortable while also maintaining professionalism. All of our guests loved interacting with her and her husband. From the very first phone call, I knew that choosing STP would be the right decision. She answered every email/text/call and made wedding planning a breeze. Take my word, you will not regret choosing Sheree to capture your big day!!!

Hi! Courtney here (that's me on the left!). Shutter and Sound is the brainchild of renowned wedding videographer Ryan Geldermann. Ryan began his wedding videography career in 2010 in Los Angeles and quickly became recognized as one of the top videographers in the U.S.. After relocating to DC and still receiving countless inquiries from all corners of the country, Ryan decided to recruit and train a few talented friends so he could continue offering the quality wedding videography he’s known for in SoCal and eventually over 10 cities. Shutter and Sound is a very small group of filmmakers dedicated to turning your big day into a work of art.

I recently used Shutter & Sound for my wedding and they were fantastic! The team was super friendly and really skilled at capturing all the important moments without being intrusive. They worked seamlessly with our other vendors which made everything go smoothly. When we got our photos and videos back, we were blown away by the quality and how they managed to capture the feel of our special day perfectly. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch wedding photography and videography!

I am a fine art photographer based in Palm Beach & North Carolina. I embrace using both film and digital mediums in my wedding photography approach to achieve our signature look, which is timeless, elegant, utterly romantic with a dash of editorial. Whether it be a beach, a. mountaintop, or on a family farm, outdoor weddings with an abundance of natural light will always be a favorite to photograph.

I’m not even sure where to begin with Melissa Blythe Photography! Ricardo and I hired Melissa as our micro wedding photographer for June of 2020, which then turned into October 2020. The year threw quite a few twists and turns at us from venue changes to date changes, yet Melissa stayed patiently by our side. For that we will forever be grateful. Melissa was always so kind through the entire process, she was quick to respond and made sure I felt at ease she would be there through the thick and thin. She is very organized and prompt. On the day of the wedding, she arrived early, she took time to scope out the area and prepare for our special day. She captured the most genuine moments of our micro wedding and during the ceremony, she was extremely respectful and not distracting. She was honestly just a joy to have around the entire day, it’s almost as if she brought calmness to the entire party, in fact she did. Now let’s talk after the wedding, it didn’t end there...we received our wedding photographs on our honeymoon. Yup, you heard me...on our honeymoon!!!!! This was just the icing on the cake. Now, given we had a micro wedding and this may not be the case for every wedding, It was such a sweet and special moment for us to receive our gallery so quickly. It was an extremely special surprise! Melissa, also was able to get our wedding and her timeless, elegant photographs featured on Bajan Wedding Blog. She truly cares about her art, her passion and her clients. It was a pleasure to have her photograph our wedding and we will treasure these images forever.

Michelle was very responsive during the planning aspects. She arrived to the venue on time and was professional but flexible. She bounced all over our venue and got photos of everything we wanted. Be sure to include specific friend photos in your list if you want those because after the family pics are done, everyone scatters. I am very pleased with Michelle and our photos, and I would recommend her to anyone in the market!

There are not enough words to express how incredible Lindsay and Nathan are. Recommended to us by a friend, Lindsay and Nathan were the perfect fit for us as wedding photographers. From our very first call to our wedding day, Lindsay and Nathan couldn’t have been more professional. They are willing to do anything to make your vision come to life. From traveling, to building an effective timeline, clear and frequent communication, and incredible planning, they made our wedding day a dream. Going into this experience, my husband and I were nervous about being in front of the camera. Lindsay and Nathan helped to make us feel comfortable and confident. As a result, we have photos of our engagement and wedding that truly capture who we are. Lindsay and Nathan’s work is truly unmatched. We received our entire engagement album within a week, photos to share from our wedding the very next day, a sneak peek of our wedding album within 72 hours, and our full wedding album within a week of our wedding. The day of our wedding, it felt like I was working with a close friend. Lindsay was encouraging and calming during any stressful moments that arose and truly helped to make the day run smoothly. I am genuinely grateful for both Lindsay and Nathan’s time, creative energy, and work. They are passionate about what they do and it shows. I could not recommend Lindsay Eileen Photography enough. They are an absolute dream to work with!

I am a caffeine addict who never sleeps. I love a good thunderstorm and playing Candy Crush for the brain breaks. I adore all kinds of dogs, but I have a special love for German Shepherds. My all-time favorite thing is to sit by the fire with a glass of good cabernet or watch the ocean waves hit the beach. I love to garden and to build things (but I let my husband to finish all my projects LOL). I enjoy good food and will likely refer to a stand up comedy routine at least once in a conversation. I am also a football mom, lacrosse mom and basketball mom. Wife to a very understanding husband and emotional support person for my big puppies.

Our wedding day was nothing short of magical, and much of that was thanks to our incredible photographer, Silvia. From our first meeting, her calm demeanor and positive outlook put us at ease. Silvia has a unique ability to blend into the background, capturing candid moments that truly reflect the joy and love of the day. Her calm presence was a soothing force during the hustle and bustle, making us feel relaxed and natural in front of the camera. Every photo she took is a testament to her talent and passion for her work. Silvia didn’t just take pictures; she told our love story through her lens, and for that, we are forever grateful. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to capture our special day.

We feel so lucky to have found Andrew as our wedding photographer. He has an incredible eye for the editorial style and makes his photos into works of art with golden light and chiaroscuro. So many photographers just rely on their high-res equipment but don't offer anything more--I don't want a macro shot of every pore or line on my face like an owl in a tree at 100 yards, I want to have a sense of magic and beauty in every photo. Andrew actually does that. I almost cried when I saw our first look photos because I don't feel very confident being photographed and I finally had dozens of photos of myself and my husband that I want to share with friends immediately and cherish forever. He delivered the first look so fast, even though I know he was busy working another wedding; I thought for sure we would have to wait longer. The wedding package we chose included very nice touches like polaroids so we had something in hand at the end of the wedding day itself, too. It was very thoughtful and left us feeling good about the whole experience right away. He was very personal and nice to work with, but not intrusive, and went with the little schedule changes we had, and was open to suggestions while we took post-ceremony photos around the city. I couldn't be happier with our experience with him and would recommend him highly to anyone looking for a real artist for their wedding photography.

A Charleston Wedding Photographer with a fierce love for storytelling, fostering memories and capturing those moments that you will want to treasure forever. I get to tell your story. And, I think that’s pretty cool. I love traveling everywhere and anywhere, talking with my hands, buying plants (and attempting to keep them alive), and spending as much time as I can with my loved ones. I have lived in Boston, Paris, and New York City, and am now lucky enough to call Charleston home, while also still traveling the world for my clients. You can usually find me on my back porch in downtown Charleston, right next to my favorite little park.

tldr: Jessica is amazing and I don’t think you can go wrong with her if this is the style of photos you like I had a lot of difficulty picking a photographer as I’m pretty picky with photos. I knew I wanted something bright and light, with kind of a whimsical or ethereal vibe, but it was really hard finding the style until I came across the “fine art” style. Jessica’s name came up while researching this style and I decided to reach out to her among a few other fine art photographers. I definitely hoped talks would go well with Jessica as the others I contacted ended up either not responding or were wildly out of my budget. Pre-Planning: Jessica was wonderful throughout this process. She promptly responded to my emails and answered questions clearly. I never felt like I was left in the dark for any part of the process. When I sent her the timeline of the ceremony/reception, she quickly came up with a timeline to slot in all the photos to be taken ahead of time at the location (We had access to the venue for a little over an hour prior to the ceremony). She also asked for a list of family photos that we wanted to take. This made it very easy at the wedding as she could call out people’s name to make sure everyone that was supposed to be in the pictures, were in the pictures. Jessica also sent over a list of ideas for detail shots and explained she could do this ahead of time. We didn’t want extra pictures of these and decided against it, however, I still thought it was very thoughtful of her to offer. Wedding Day: I loved her energy at the wedding. She was very calm and felt very competent. She directed my husband and I throughout the pictures, showing us poses etc. During family and wedding party photos, even though we had many bodies to fit in the frame in quite a few pictures, she led us through them with ease and the entire experience was very stress free (or as stress free as can be at a wedding lol). The venue was quite dim at specific locations, but the final results did not reflect that at all. The pictures were bright and did not look like they were taken in the dark at all. (This is a little off topic but I loved the little apron with pockets she wore for her equipment. So cute) I’m not sure when Jessica had the time, but there were pictures around the venue which were so beautiful. I definitely feel like the day was captured through the pictures. Post Wedding: Jessica sent us a sneak peak 2 days after the wedding containing 23 pictures. They turned out great and were beautiful. You can see examples on her website so I won’t elaborate, but they really are that good. The full gallery was sent almost a month after the wedding (minus 2 days) with instructions on purchasing prints or an album attached. The full download contained 650ish files, including the sneak peek pictures. Half of which were black and white, so this matched up pretty perfectly with Jessica’s estimation of the amount of photos when we spoke in the pre-planning stage.

We are Hannah and Anthony Green, a husband and wife photography team specializing in weddings throughout Virginia. While we love a wedding with a great mountain view or a historic home, we know that it is the people that make this day truly special. Our favorite part of the wedding day is capturing authentic moments as your most special people celebrate the start of your new family. Some of our favorite images from our own wedding were fun, candid moments with our family and best friends. We take that experience, and our 7 years of photographing weddings together, to bring a unique approach to wedding photography that is couple-focused.

We absolutely loved working with Hannah (and Anthony, her partner, as second shooter)! Hannah was so on top of all things planning-wise and even helped me to figure out non-photography-related wedding things. She's so friendly and personable, it's amazing how she can really dial in on what you want and need. On the day of our wedding, Hannah was such a calming presence, working with our day-of planner to make sure things went off without a hitch and all the photos we wanted captured were shot. Seriously, cannot recommend Hannah enough!

Hi there, my name is Jen El-Haddad! I am the lead photographer and owner of "Jennifer Mary Photography". I specialize in lifestyle photography and portraits! I started this business almost a decade ago, as a Photography/Computer Digital Imagery student at Shepherd University (Go Rams!) with a dream to share the artistic joy with others. However, life seemed to have a different plan. I slowly moved into the corporate world and lost touch with my creative side. After lots of soul searching and a 7-year hiatus, I found my love for photography (again.

Jen was amazing! Prior to our wedding we booked our engagement photos with Jen, so we could practice poses. I had a very particular lighting style, and Jen listened to my wishes and used the most amazing light angles and edited the photos in the was I had asked for. Prior to the wedding we had phone calls and meetings to make sure we had a set list of the photos I wanted, so that the day of nothing would be missed and it was stress free. Wedding day Jen captured every moment from getting ready, to the ceremony, family portraits, couples photos and even dances at the reception. Jen is kind, caring, respectful and professional. She was truly a joy to work with and I am in love with my wedding photos! I highly recommend booking your wedding, engagement or any pictures with this lovely photographer!
