Carson Lillard Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves West Columbia, SC

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
We couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our wedding! From the very beginning, Carson was incredibly professional and attentive, ensuring she understood all the shots we wanted. She even provided an extra shooter on the big day to make sure every moment was captured perfectly. Her sweet and warm personality made the whole experience so enjoyable. We were a bit nervous in front of the camera, but Carson made us feel so comfortable, even playing music and attending to all the little details to ensure we looked and felt our best. She also did our engagement shoot and delivered the most stunning pictures. If you want someone who will go above and beyond to get the perfect photos, Carson is your photographer. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and reliable photographer. Thank you, Carson, for making our special day unforgettable!

Eugene Svirhun Photo

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves West Columbia, SC

I started photography in 2017 and after being a part of many weddings, engagements, and family sessions, I still love what I do and I am deeply dedicated to serving my clients. I consider myself a storyteller and love capturing the little details, the half-smiles, and the simple motions. For me, it is about seeing the real, the lovely, and the messy moments, the everyday magic that tells the stories of our lives. Each wedding and session has its own unique story to tell and I challenge myself to capture those stories through my camera as best as I can and would be honored to capture yours too!

He has a wonderful ability to capture those natural, candid moments, and his style really allowed us to be ourselves. There was no awkwardness at all—just genuine joy and connection throughout the day. Our photos turned out beautifully. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our wedding in Asheville NC!

Hi there! We’re Samantha and Brady, a husband-and-wife photography team based in Columbia, South Carolina*. We’re all about capturing those real, candid moments—the ones that tell your story in the most authentic way. Striking a balance between documentary and editorial imagery is important to us, as we feel everyone deserves beautiful photos of themselves on one of their biggest days.

Sam and Brady are the BEST photographers we could have hoped for. We loved their photography style and had so much fun during both the engagement session and on our wedding day! They were great to work with! Always timely with communicating with us, took the time to help us create a well-thought-out timeline, accommodated some extra requests for family photos, and kept us well within time for my husband and I to get some extra fun photos of just the two of us after the ceremony. The sneak peaks we received are just incredible, and we are so excited to see the full gallery. I cannot recommend Sam and Brady enough to anyone else needing a wedding photography team!

Melissa G Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,499
  • Serves West Columbia, SC

Born and raised in Miami, Florida, I moved to South Carolina in 2014, and it was the best move I have ever made. The slower paced lifestyle is definitely my jam. I have a Pitbull named Sandy who loves to play and of course eat plenty of treats. I am a huge animal lover and volunteer often at a local animal shelter taking photos to help the pups get adopted. In my free time I am baking or doing anything DIY. I love to explore new places, but I especially love the beach!

We hired Melissa for our out of state Wedding photographer. Being from out of state and hiring a wedding photographer that you don't know can be a little stressful however the second I met Melissa I felt like I had known her forever! She made us feel comfortable and she got all the shots we wanted on our special day! Melissa sent preview photos and got our photos back to us very quickly. We LOVED Melissa and highly recommend her!

From the moment we met Helen, we were filled with confidence because of her professionalism and sweet personality. We are so grateful for everything she has done and for giving us the greatest gift we could ever ask for --- being able to relive our wedding (5/2016) through her amazingly stunning pictures. God has truly given Helen a gift! Our wedding day was everything we could have ever hoped for and we are so very thankful that she was there to capture it all! Our friends and family have said how lucky we were to find her and we couldn’t agree more. Helen was much more than a photographer, she became our friend. Working with Helen was truly one of the best parts of our wedding process. From the initial dinner meeting at Café Strudel, to the engagement shoot, the bridal session, to the wedding day, she was extremely supportive, fun and professional. I cannot say enough about how wonderful our experience has been with Calico Photography. Helen captured absolutely beautiful pictures that we will cherish forever.

Awarded Best of Zola
I highly recommend this company to take photos at your wedding! We loved our photographer Percy. He was incredible, and so helpful. He came with several cameras and valued all of our ideas, and when we became stumped he offered ideas for us to try as well. He was very professional, kind, caring, and always on top of the game taking photos. Towards the end of our night he started to put the camera away and brought it back out to catch a few final moments. He was on top of responding to all questions before, during, and after. He took photos of me and my husband before the ceremony and got some wonderful shots (it was a 95 outside wedding so this was much appreciated because we all had some sweat on our faces). But before we got Percy and our booking process with eivans it was super simple, and just an overall great experience.

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

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.
