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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Christina photographed our November 2022 wedding in Charleston, SC. We first contacted Christina after seeing her work on Instagram. The quality and style of her images stood out in a crowd of hundreds of Charleston wedding photographers. We had an engagement session with Christina a few months before our wedding. It was useful to practice posing and working together ahead of our wedding. Leading up to wedding day, she was consistently communicative and punctual. She was able/ willing to help and lend suggestions in all aspects of the wedding planning process. On the wedding day, things ran late but Christina managed to hit the ground running with family formals in the church and bridal party pictures downtown (a 40 min drive) and then we made it to the reception in plenty of time. She navigated all family and friend dynamics and knew when to blend into the background and when to assert herself to get the best pictures. Christina is a joy to work with. We received many compliments from family and friends about how much they enjoyed Christina on our wedding day. We received our complete album shortly after the wedding and her pictures are beautiful! The connection and ease we found with her shows through in the final product. We will treasure these photos forever.

My husband and I literally can’t stop looking at them as Jolie made everyone look incredibly good.

Hey, I'm Mary! It's nice to meet you. What you must know: (1) I'm a nerd. If you want to talk video games, LOTR or Doctor Who, we HAVE to sit down for a bourbon or a coffee. (2) Yes, I will be out on that dance floor with you snapping away while joining in on the fun. And (3), while I'm a photographer first, supporting you during the planning process feels crucial to me - from building a timeline to having your back any way I can. Woman/LGBTQIA+ Owned

Awarded Best of Zola
We worked with Mary for our engagement photos and were absolutely thrilled with the results. She made us feel at ease right away, and we ended up with so many photos that looked (and felt!) so comfortable and so "us." There were no moments that felt awkward or posed, and she took the time to make sure we had captured many memories we'll cherish for a lifetime. We ended up getting married abroad, but if we had stayed local we would have been thrilled to work with Mary again for the big day itself. We can't recommend her highly enough!

We've only had our engagement photo session so far but she captured some of the most beautiful shots and exceeded our expectations. Carson is incredibly communicative and easy to connect with. The quality of her work truly has a "WOW" factor that makes me keep looking at our photos over and over again.

Photography isn’t just my career—it’s the way I connect with people, turning clients into dear friends and fleeting moments into timeless memories.

My heart beats for real, authentic moments—the kind where love and laughter come effortlessly.

Awarded Best of Zola
Our goal for wedding photos was to be transported back to our wedding day - more of a storytelling style than formal portraits. Felisha totally nailed it, and somehow managed to capture some extra magic in there too. Leading up to the wedding, Felisha was great at helping us feel comfortable with her, and we’re usually camera shy! We felt like we made a new friend! We weren’t planning to do a “first look”, but after how much we loved our engagement photos we decided to add that element to our wedding day as an excuse to get more time with Felisha and have some more Amazing portraits. During the wedding, Felisha and her second shooter were totally professional and unobtrusive - we didn’t notice them doing their thing, and neither did our guests. She was fun to work with, super on top of everything, and the results speak for themselves. We’re already dreaming up other life events that we might want to have professionally photographed, as an excuse to work with her again!
