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.

I'm Jarrod. I'm a wedding photographer based in the US. Originally from Florida and now traveling full-time in a Sprinter van shooting love stories. ​I like to describe my approach to wedding photography as documentary with an editorial flare. About 80% of the day I am capturing your day as it naturally unfolds in a beautiful way. The other 20% I love to prompt you or direct you to create romantic images that have intention and FEELING. Sometimes portraits will feel romantic and editorial and other times they will feel playful and fun. It fully depends on your personal relationship. I love to tell your story as authentically as I can.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jarrod did an amazing job on our wedding day! We were so very grateful to have him there with us. He was absolutely amazing and did a great job collaborating with our other vendors and coordinating logistics and timing of what we wanted to have done. We were so happy that we got videography done for our big day- feels like we’re reliving it each time we watch it! Highly recommend and very worth it!!!

Awarded Best of Zola
We found Madison because she was an Alumni from same school, UCF, as me. We booked her to do an engagement shoot (an hour outside of Orlando) and our photos turned out absolutely amazing. From that one interaction with her, it really felt like we knew her our whole lives. She is super nice, personable, and made us feel very comfortable right away. She also had so much knowledge about the area, and any questions that we had regarding the shoot. She planned and timed everything out so that we could get photos at one location, and then sunset photos by the beach 30 min away. And then when we were looking for photographers for our wedding (in Philadelphia), it was a no-brainer that we wanted to book her again to capture our big day. She came halfway up the coast and played a large role in making our day perfect. We planned the photography from 1000 miles away, and she was really communicative and helpful about the picture planning, and also just wedding planning in general. We ran into a timing issue with how the day was going to work out before the ceremony, and she helped us navigate that, and she worked to keep us on track throughout the night for the different photos that we wanted. She knew what to do & what not to do in the Church. She also worked well alongside our videographer. Ultimately, we are very happy with our experience with Madison, and the wedding photos she took turned out absolutely amazing.

Hi, my name is Faith. I have been passionate about photography since 2017, when I first picked up a camera to capture my dogs growing up. What started as a simple love for photographing my pups has evolved into a deep passion for capturing moments that tell a story. Traveling is another love of mine, and Africa holds a particularly special place in my heart. I have been fortunate enough to visit three times, with hopes to have many more trips. When I am not behind the camera, I'm either coaching gymnastics, spending time with my two dogs, or exploring the world around me.

Faith is a phenomenal photographer! I have had the pleasure of working with her on several occasions, all at different venues. She is very well rounded and works extremely well with adults and children. Faith has a soft and kind demeanor, all while producing strong and fierce photos. Aside from her photography, she is wonderful at planning and scheduling. Faith is well organized, giving the customer/family a stress free photoshoot. I highly recommend Faith M.

Jason "Snorlax" Cun is an all around photographer that currently resides in Los Angeles, California. He was raised in the heart of Los Angeles, where he found his calling in photography. He aims to capture the beauty of the world and the people in them. He has recently begun his travels around the U.S capturing the life of those within that city.

Jason was recommended to me by a family member, and to this day, I'm so grateful. Jason was so quick with communication. He responded and asked for details from the very beginning. He was easy to talk to. We ended up booking him for our engagement photos AND our wedding photos. Our engagement photo session was seamless. Jason was easy to work with and he made my (now) husband and I feel so comfortable. Photo sessions do NOT have to be awkward with Jason. He recommended the LA Arboretum and the Pasadena City Hall for our shoot and we couldn't have asked for any better location. Jason knew exactly where to go and what to do. When it came time for our wedding day, Jason and Mae (his second) were so nice. They did not rush us for any photoshoot. He had us take our time, take breathers, and helped us stress about one less thing during the day. We just got our photos back and they are downright GORGEOUS. I could not believe these were us. I am still amazed by it all. The turnover time was so quick as well. Again, communication was so easy with him. I HIGHLY recommend Jason as a photographer. We could not have asked for anyone better.

Let me tell y’all about this amazing chic! She came in and saved the day! We lost our photographer about 2 weeks before our wedding, we knew it wasn’t the right fit for us. I reached out to Ashley Painter Photography and she made time in her busy schedule ( while finishing grad school, being a mom, wife, and running a business!) to travel 2 hours each way to capture our day. Not to mention working hand in hand with our DJ on a timeline of events to make sure she was in the right spot at the right time to capture the best shots! Our contract said allow 16 weeks for full gallery, she said “ girl, don’t you worry, I won’t make you wait that long” and here we are, 3 weeks later and completely surprised, she delivered a full gallery of the most amazing moments of our day. If you’re ever in the Charleston, South Carolina area and need some pictures done remember to call the best! It’s so much more than just snapping pictures

Hi there! I’m a young and vibrant wedding photographer with four years of experience capturing love stories in all their glory. Alongside my passion for photography, I’m also a full-time videographer, which means I can bring your special moments to life in both stills and motion! I’ve been behind the camera since high school, and it’s incredible to see how my hobby has blossomed into a fulfilling career. I thrive on the energy of weddings, and I’m dedicated to making your day unforgettable by blending creativity with a fun, relaxed vibe. Let’s create some magic together!

What can I say! My experience with Maya was absolutely phenomenal. She listened to all my ideas and gave me feedback based on her professional opinion. She was very flexible and ensured that both my fiancé and I were comfortable throughout our entire engagement photo shoot. Maya came with ideas for positions and poses but she also allowed us to express ourselves creatively. The day after our photo shoot she sent us a link with a sneak peek of our pictures and I was completely blown out of the water. The day I chose to take our photos it was extremely hot and sunny outside and I was sweating profusely. Even with this, she was able to produce amazing photos that captured us in our best light. You would not even know how hot and humid it was based on our pictures. I would absolutely work with Maya again and I would recommend her to anyone looking for high quality photos and a photographer with an amazing personality!

Carrie Patricia Studios 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Columbia, SC

As a hopeless romantic with a fondness for all things vintage, I specialize in capturing timeless photos of the details and moments celebrating the love of your day. Utilizing natural light as much as possible as to not create an artificial mood, I consider my style to be photojournalistic, with a relaxed, natural feeling, even during formal portraits. Overly staged portraits and calculated setups aren't really my jam. After the party's over, my work continues, using post-processing software like Lightroom and Photoshop, ensuring you and your photos look their best and unique!

Awarded Best of Zola
Carrie is amazing! She did a wonderful job for our engagement and wedding photos. We are not used to having our photos taken and she made us feel so comfortable and relaxed. It was very hectic the morning of my wedding and she was very organized and patient with all of us. We are so happy and grateful with the memories she captured and we highly recommend hiring her as your engagement and wedding photographer!

Heyyy there! I’m Kiersten, the founder and creative force behind the lens. Born and raised in West Virginia, this beautiful state is what I call my home. I’ve developed a love for traveling across the United States, and I’m excited to expand my adventures internationally in December 2024.

AMANDA. ARTIST. EXPLORER. COFFEE DRINKER. TIME MACHINE. So you just got engaged and you need a photographer. Documenting all that love is a wonderful gift for yourself and everyone who loves you. My superpower is being able to see your beauty the way the people who love you do, and then capture it in awesome photos of you so that you can see it too. And there’s no awkward posing or fake smiles involved. Just goofy fun and bad jokes, and you being yourself. So come see the world through my eyes. And maybe you’ll decide you’d like to see yourself through my eyes, to see yourself the way the folks who love you see you.

Awarded Best of Zola
Amanda’s work speaks for itself. Her photography isn’t just a snapshot in time - she creates true art. She’s also super calm and easy going (a major plus on what can be a hectic day). From her portrait and group shots, to shots during the wedding, to still life shots of the cake, rings, or outfits, to journalistic style shots of the reception, she captures it all with a beautiful eye. What I love most is that her style is unique, with such stunning use of light and shadow. Her photography was easily the best thing we spent money on for our wedding. I highly recommend Amanda Summerlin Photography.
