  • Photographer

  • Starts at $4,800
  • Serves Stokesdale, NC for additional fees

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 came across Monu and the team while attending another wedding this past year, and at that time we knew we had to have them DJ our wedding! From the initial inquiry till the night of our reception, Monu and Maulin did everything they could to make sure the entire process would be as seamless as possible. Our reception was an unforgettable night for us! The dance floor was lit up the entire night and we honestly could have kept going for a few more hours with Monu playing all the right music. From the white vinyl floor, the 3 LED screens, lighting, the fog machine, and of course, the incredible music, CSE was able to provide us with everything we needed to make this night unforgettable for us. Till this day we recommend CSE to all of our friends looking for an awesome team to work with for their weddings.. Love you guys! :)

I fell in love with photography at a young age, while rummaging through boxes of family photographs. My favorite pictures were always the ones that felt as though you had been transported in time- a little blurry, but a lot of emotion.

When it comes to wedding photographers, I was extremely picky, as I do photography myself. Once I came across Audrey, I knew that she would be a great option. Thankfully, she fell within our budget and we could not be happier. She is extremely nice and extremely patient. We continued to get compliments on how kind she was from all of our guests throughout the night. If you are looking for a photographer, I could not recommend her enough.

I like to think of myself as a lil bit southern, lil bit punk, and a whole lotta rock-n-roll. I’m a PBR lover, hardcore show corner dweller, disco ball queen. You’re going to hear me say, “hell yeah, brother” more than twice, Dale Earnhardt is an icon, and Dolly Parton is royalty. You'll love me if you're a little trashy, always classy, badass, sometimes chic, forever romantic. Unwedding, editorial, nontraditional, offbeat, colorful, joyful, film-inspired, and disco vibes always. If you like, I'll wear a rainbow suit, I'll definitely dance with your mom, and I will always be a champion for you and your lover.

Kathleen is AMAZING. She did our engagement photos and I cannot speak highly enough. She was so cool to work with, had a great eye for location, and was so fantastic with coordinating our forever-awkward selves to get some incredible shots. We both get very anxious on camera but she made the whole experience so safe and welcoming that we ended up having a so much fun. Her communication throughout has been absolute top tier - we knew exactly what to expect every step of the way - and the end result is beyond our wildest dreams. 10/10, cannot recommend her enough and can’t wait to work with her again in the future!

Hi - I'm Lizzie! I am a story teller and professional hype woman who is dedicated to preserving your legacy through imagery. It is a privilege being trusted to photograph your wedding and it is not a responsibility that I accept lightly. I truly believe that the only things left after your wedding day are the photos and the marriage. Every couple has a unique story. I take the time to get to know my clients so that I can capture their wedding day in an honest and personalized way. I will work side-by-side with your wedding planner in order to create a custom, photo-friendly timeline that will ensure that my team captures every moment.

I spent a lot of time deliberating which photographer to choose. Lizzie Baker’s work really stood out. Her photography is truly a work of art and the passion comes across not only in her pictures but in how she engages with you end to end. Lizzie was one of my favorite vendors to work with and she truly made our wedding day better. We are delighted with how she captured our wedding, the scenery, and all the details and moments that you want to be able to look back on. Lizzie was always one step ahead of the program which was a huge benefit. She had great ideas for shots and her approach and personality kept us at ease during the planning process and throughout wedding day. Lizzie is not just an amazing photographer - she really is your hype woman, wedding day extraordinaire, and someone you will be happy to have at your side.

  • Serves Stokesdale, NC for additional fees

I’m a Sunshine State native, a Pisces, and a lover of the outdoors. Photography is my favorite way to connect with people. The ability to freeze a memory to look back on for years at a time is what kept me wanting more. I am forever in awe that taking photos allows me to create art, while also giving people stories to reflect on down the line.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot thank Sufia enough, for the beautiful photos that I will cherish for a lifetime. I was so nervous to take photos, as I hate having my photo taken at all, that I delayed it for so long. Now, I wish I hadn’t! I’m just seriously blown away, Sufia made me feel like a model! And she was able to capture the love we have for one another in every photo. Not only is she obviously gifted with a talent to really capture people at their most beautiful, but she is such a wonderful person to I have to say I can’t recommend Sufia Huq Portraits highly enough. She has photographed so many important milestones for my family but she truly rose above and beyond all of my expectations as a wedding photographer. I initially hired Sufia for my engagement photos but after seeing how perfect they turned out, I knew she was the only person I could trust with my wedding! On the day of my wedding it truly felt like everything was going wrong. It was raining. I got second degree burns on my chest from a steamer. I had vendors threatening to leave and the catering company stealing my food. The ONE thing that eased the stress of that day was my incredible photographer. Despite how stressed I was, Sufia managed to bring me back into the moment and to capture timeless portraits of my wedding day with my husband, closest friends, and family. When I look back through the photos of my wedding day (which I do often because I’m obsessed), I don’t think about all of the craziness. I think about those precious moments Sufia captured for me. Sufia was more than just a photographer that day. She was a cheerleader. She was a hype woman. She was a friend. She was more than just accommodating. She was flexible. She was dependable. She was KIND. Sufia is an amazing human being with an amazing talent. A wedding day is a huge deal. Sufia Huq Portraits will not disappoint in quality or in kindness.

Quanisha Moody Makeup Artistry

  • Serves Stokesdale, NC for additional fees

Quanisha always loved makeup, and as a child, to hone her skills her mother would allow her to practice on her during her evening naps. However, after graduating from makeup school with a makeup artistry certificate, she was disappointed to see makeup looks created without the personalization of the client's character and personal style. So, in 2018, attended Gwynnis Mosby Makeup Training center located in Tucker, GA soon after, Quanisha began her makeup artistry freelancing business called Quanisha Moody Makeup Artistry.

Quanisha’s skills are unmatched, I was the Maid of Honor for our wedding party and she went above and beyond for our big day. The bride, myself, and our mother received exactly what we each asked for; from simple light makeup to full glam. Quanisha and her husband were so kind and funny; she came very well prepared with printouts of our inspiration photos and asking us simple questions throughout the process to assure we received our desired looks! I couldn’t recommend Quanisha more for weddings or any other events you are considering a professional makeup artist for. Thank you again!!!

Hi! We're Kiersten and Enrique, the faces behind Kanded! Our vibe summed up in three words: Creative, Inclusive, Emotive. Since childhood, we've both had a strong love for art. Enrique's small town upbringing and love for writing infuses our images with warmth and nostalgia. Kiersten's passion for photography started as a young child on her Polaroid where she began her creative visual storytelling. When we're not creating, you'll find us on the hunt for vintage treasures, sinking our toes into the sand (and missing our beloved cats), or enjoying quality time at home with our three adorable fur babies: Ellie, Lola, and Jax.

The Kanded Photography Team is just awesome. They are so fun to be around. The recently shot a wedding at my venue and the pictures were AMAZING! They have an awesome eye for capturing unique photos that aren’t “cookie cutter.” They not only made the couple look amazing, but captured the beauty of our venue perfectly.

My name is Melissa Kelly! I am a Boston Metrowest based wedding photographer! I live in Grafton, MA with my wonderful husband and my two energetic boys! Photography has been a family hobby for my entire life! My father and I have always shared a special bond over our creative and artistic side and my maternal grandfather even had a dark room IN his home! It's in my blood! I am so excited to be able to share my passion with others!

Both my engagement photos and wedding photos were taken by Melissa! Honestly, she was the best! (And it should be noted, I am picky with pictures haha) While "wedding planning" some people recommended I hire a videographer, but with Melissa's photos I didn't even need one! She captures every moment, even ones you didn't realize were being captured. It's like reliving my day every time I look at these photos. There is a lot of beauty in her editing, lighting, and angles. She gives you pose ideas too for those who are a little camera-awkward. Plus I got sooooo much positive feedback from wedding guest about how much they loved her the night of the wedding due to her amazing, fun personality, but then when they saw the outcome of the photos afterwards, everyone including my husband and I were (even more) impressed. I absolutely recommend Photography By Melissa Kelly. You will get beautiful photos and memories a genuine kind person to hang out with on your special day :) I honestly can't thank her enough, hands down!

Tristen and Abbi were absolutely amazing to work with! From the engagement pictures (which were our first professional pictures and they made us feel so comfortable) to the wedding pictures, everything was great. Great communication and all around the best quality! They made sure they got the best shots throughout the wedding day- and most of the time we didn’t even notice the camera. Best photographers in our area!

I was blown away by her artistic eye and her ability to capture such sweet pictures of us as a couple.

We were huge fans of Dueling Pianos as we had seen them several different places throughout the country. We just didn’t know how it would translate into wedding entertainment. From the first inquiry, Jason responded almost immediately and was very thorough and informative in his communication. We set up a phone call about a week later and we just knew it was going to be the right fit! The show was amazing and the entertainers really wowed the crowd. They were funny, personable and of course talented. We would highly recommend The Copper Piano to anyone considering live music!!

Purposely Designed Event Planning is more than a planning and coordination company. We allow you to live out my dreams, and bring your visions to life (yes, even if you have no idea what they are yet). Our team is dedicated to transforming your anxiety into stress-free fun. We began our journey planning weddings for couples in Charlotte, North Carolina, and have expanded into a multi-tiered company with a nationwide clientele. We are dedicated planners committed to providing extraordinary, seamless, “without-a-hitch” events.

My husband and I had our wedding in August 2023 which Patrice was our wedding planner. She stepped in when we had to let another planner go due to creative differences and Patrice made sure our wedding was exactly what we wanted! I’m a detailed person so I REALLY loved that she provides detailed instructions to the entire wedding party and vendors for where they’re supposed to be and what to do down to the minute! She brought vision to life (including displaying our mother’s actual wedding dresses during the reception) and remained calm through the whole process. Would definitely recommend her services if you are in search for an event planner!

Brit and Erin are the greatest choice we made when it comes to our wedding. This duo goes above and beyond for their clients and made us feel so special. They were so kind to work with and made our day so easy. We did not use a coordinator but Brit and Erin filled that void so quickly! They created our schedule and got us 30 pictures the night of the wedding. They made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and were so much fun to work with. I cannot give them a high enough rating!!

Hi friend! Grace here. I’m from a small town in south-central PA, where I was raised on the great outdoors, drive-in movies, & board games. My husband is my best friend & we have an adorable toddler keeping us on our toes! We're all about Jesus, our people, traveling, coffee shops & our two Aussies. I’m a big advocate of seeing new places, deep talks under the stars & being near the mountains any chance I can get. I believe that marriage begins with a promise & a lifetime of memories follow after that. My clients are my friends & I feel privileged to begin this adventure with you!

I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. She was sooo easy to work with. Her visions aligned with mine, she was efficient and so sweet. I truly trusted her with everything in me and she did not disappoint! She traveled across the country for us and was a 10/10 human being and professional photographer. You need her!!

I'm a photographer based out of Oklahoma and Colorado—always ready with a passport in hand to travel wherever your story takes me. I absolutely love capturing the sweet moments and intricate details of each unique wedding day but above all else, I love getting to know each of my couple's love stories. When I'm not behind the camera, you can usually find me at a local coffee or plant shop... or hanging out with my cat Steve. I'm also a frequent to Dutch Bros, so you may see me in the drive-thru line ◡̈

Kamryn went above and beyond to help our wedding go smoothly! She helped coordinate the bridal party pictures as well as helping to get anything I, Clara, needed for our wedding! She was very insightful about locations for the pictures! She communicates very well. She was willing to meet to up to discuss wedding details before the wedding! Her photographs are excellent! She is amazing! We highly recommend Kamryn!!

My name is Cecilia but you can call me Cece. I'm so happy you are here. I'm married to the love of my life and together we have three rambunctious little boys. I'm based in Utah and I LOVE traveling. If your wedding is out of state I would love to come to you. I have always found joy in taking photos. It wasn't until I got pregnant with my first child that I developed a strong passion for photography. When I'm not taking pictures I enjoy exercising, reading books, and hanging out with my family & friends

Awarded Best of Zola
Cecilia captured our wedding day at Brighton Resort in the mountains. She was so personable and really got to know my fiance and I. She listened to what we wanted and delivered plus so much more! She was even dancing on the dance floor to drum up excitement and capture our friends' energy. I would book her again 10 times over! Best decision!
