  • Starts at $1,800
  • Serves Columbia, SC for additional fees

Hi, I’m Alaina! I’m a portrait photographer in the North Georgia area (+ available for travel) offering photography sessions for couples, individuals, graduating seniors, and intimate weddings + elopements.

We did our engagement shoot and wedding with Alaina, and it was the best decision I made for our wedding by far! I love her style and the photos are simply timeless. I'm thrilled to have such beautiful photos of the best day of our lives so far. Photoshoots are always awkward for both of us because we have no idea what to do, but Alaina made us both feel comfortable and at ease. She's wonderful to work with. And her husband, Justin, is nice too!

My name is Dianai. I am passionate about telling your story and driven by the love that you and your partner share. I am all about those in between moments that make your relationship unique. The way you make each other laugh and smile is the reason I do this!!

I was looking for an wedding photographer who would take natural looking photos and didn't want to charge us an insane amount of money (ya'll I know its an important day but come on...). She easy to get along with and rolled with the chaos that almost always happens at weddings. Dianai Photographs captured our wedding and we received images that didn't feel over styled or heavily photoshopped. As a couple, we wanted a relaxed, candid look of our special day and we received just that!

  • Serves Columbia, SC for additional fees

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!

Eisley Images

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Columbia, SC for additional fees

At Eisley Images we are actively anti-racist by learning and unlearning our own biases and learned behavior. We are actively trying to make the wedding industry we are a part of more inclusive, kind, and part of the larger discussion at hand. As consumers ourselves, we deeply appreciate knowing WHO we are investing our money in. We want to be upfront and unapologetic about who we are, and what values we deeply believe in.

We reached out to Christy almost immediately after booking our venue (18 months before our wedding), and are so happy we did! We had a great engagement shoot - something we didn't think we needed/wanted but she convinced us that it was worth it and it was! When the pandemic hit, Christy was flexible and kind as we figured out how to change our wedding plans. We decided to have a super small, outdoor wedding at a family house with as many precautions and safety measures as possible and only 12 us total. Christy felt like a member of our family as she captured the most beautiful photos of our day! She was one of the only vendors on our wedding day and we are SO happy she was there with us! On top of Christy's awesomeness as a person, our photos are better than we ever could have imagined! We have the most beautiful photos to remember our intimidate wedding by and will cherish forever. Our family members who attended love them, too - and having such beautiful images to share with our friends and family who couldn't attend has been so great. Our wedding day was so much better than we could have imaged, and having Christy capture our day made it even better!

Katie Arnold Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,600
  • Serves Columbia, SC for additional fees

One of my favorite parts about this job is watching confidence grow right before the lens. When couples go from, “we’re going to be hard to photograph, we’re so awkward.” to “ no way! That’s us?” my heart could explode every time! Because what is on my camera is exactly what I see in you. It isn’t “you’re so talented!” or “that’s an amazing camera!” no, no. It’s simply you with the one you feel most comfortable with and who fills your heart and soul as no one or thing can. That my friend is genuine love in its most simplistic and powerful form. And it’s what I capture best. :)

After doing much research, I was blessed to stumble across Katie on Instagram. I immediately fell in love with her work; her photos are rarely staged, all authentic, “in the moment” candid shots. On top of her amazing work she is the most kind hearted, down the earth person. Going to our engagement session, we didn’t know what to expect. We immediately felt comfortable with Katie and never felt awkward. We had to postpone due to COVID and Katie was so easy and accommodating! Our wedding photos are absolutely stunning, there truly isn’t a bad shot! I recommend Katie to every one and will continue to go to her in the future for any of my photography needs :)

Hello! I'm Cassandra and my journey into the world of weddings was ignited when I embarked on planning my very own special day. This experience kindled a deep passion for weddings, and it's one of the driving forces behind my profession. I'm wholeheartedly committed to ensuring that each of my couples has their precious moments meticulously captured, preserving memories that will endure for years to come. My purpose is to authentically narrate your unique love story, exactly as it unfolds.

My husband and I can't sing our praises enough for Cassandra! From beginning to end working with her was a dream. We instantly clicked with her when we had our consultation and we knew we had to have her apart of our day. When we had our engagement session that assured us that we chose the right photographer for our day. The images we received from our session were just beautiful and really captured our love for one another. Everything leading up to our wedding was wonderful and she was extremely helpful as we ran into some hiccups with other vendors and she was there to help us find someone just as amazing. The day of our wedding was better than we could have dreamed. Our vendor team was amazing, Cassandra took care of everything and some, she keep us on our timeline, made the day so enjoyable but also took charge so I wouldn't be stressed out. She is so talented and not only an amazing photographer, but a life long friend now. Thank you so much for giving us photos to cherish for the rest of our lives and giving us the most wonderful experience. We love you!
