  • Serves Salem, SC

Hello! I am Karlee. I am a wedding, elopement, and lifestyle photographer in the Carolinas and beyond. I am a lover of adventures, stunning views, fresh mountain air, salty ocean water, and practically any dog in sight. Photography has always been my passion since I picked up a camera in high school. I can't wait to see more of what adventure this passion of mine takes me on. I truly pour my heart and soul into my work for all of my wonderful couples.

We have worked with Karlee for the last year while planning our wedding. I can't say enough good things about her! She really captures the personality of her clients and has the most beautiful natural editing. She did our engagement pictures in the NC mountains and after hurricane Helene destroyed our wedding venue she traveled all the way to our new venue while still being out of power herself. Her work is all the proof you need to see why we adored her.

Marina Xaykosy Photography

  • Serves Salem, SC

Born in Rhode Island and raised in South Carolina, my love for photography began at a very young age when my dad introduced cameras as an integral part of my childhood. I began shooting in high school after joining photography club, assisting in media coverage. I ventured outside of school assignments by working for music publications - shooting concerts and artists like 21 Savage, The 1975, Lil Uzi Vert, Passion Pit, and other notable names as a senior in high school. Concerts slowly turned into portraiture where weddings became the highlight of my portfolio and over 12 years later, I have enjoyed the journey since.

Marina Xaykosy Photography was a dream to work with for our wedding day. Their communication style was direct and professional, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was truly breathtaking - the photos they captured were captivating, timeless, and brimming with meaningful emotion. Marina worked tirelessly to help build a visual story of our special day, expertly capturing the light, movement, and raw emotion that made every single picture feel alive. We felt completely comfortable in their care, and were thrilled to receive our gorgeous photos back so quickly. We cannot recommend Marina Xaykosy Photography highly enough for any couple looking to immortalize the magic of their wedding day.

Hey! Tara Amado, I'm 32 years old and I was born and raised in Puerto Rico. I'm a wife and mom to 5 beautiful kids. My favorite part of being a photographer is seeing so many beautiful locations that I never knew existed and meeting so many wonderful people that allow me to capture their most special moments. Allow me to bring my passion to life by capturing those moments that mean the most to you and yours. Let’s create some memories, together.

Tara was absolutely amazing! We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our wedding. She was so kind, sweet, and really went out of her way to accommodate all our photo requests, making sure every special moment was captured. Taking pictures with her was such a fun experience, and she truly made the whole process enjoyable. We can’t recommend her enough and would choose her again in a heartbeat if we could do it all over!

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
Carson Lillard Photography was an excellent choice for our wedding photography. Their communication was effective, as they planned ahead and worked seamlessly with our videographer. The quality of their work was outstanding - we're always finding a new favorite photo they captured. They even recreated a special photo of my mother from her own wedding, and helped us with creative poses throughout the day. The only thing I wish is that we had more photos of just my husband alone, but overall their service and the final photos exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend this talented team!

Dani did our wedding in 2022 and we have already had 3 more sessions with her and another on the books for this year. We also did our engagement session with her before we were married :) We are so thankful she has been someone that can document our lives as we grow!! She is AMAZING to work with and her photos are pure magic. It's really something that we haven't gotten bored from using her through the years, haha. But seriously, she seems to offer something a little different each time and oh my gosh we are still so blown away everytime we get our photos back from her!! We've even sent more of our family to her so she's basically become our whole extended family photographer :D

Big Day Story Carolinas was everything we could have hoped for in a wedding photographer and videographer—and so much more! From our first conversation, it was clear that the team, especially Bipin and Sanjay, truly enjoys what they do and cares deeply about capturing the special moments of each couple. Their friendly and relaxed demeanor immediately put us at ease, making the entire process enjoyable and stress-free. We highly recommend doing an engagement session! It was a great way for us to feel more comfortable in front of the camera, and Bipin and Sanjay gave us wonderful direction that made us feel natural and at ease, even when we might have otherwise felt self-conscious. On our wedding day, they were incredibly reassuring and made us feel like we were with old friends, which added to the overall calm and happiness of the day.

We are extremely thankful for Erin! She came in as though we have been great friends for many years. She introduced herself and went right to work. She referred to the list we discussed of photos we wanted and added numerous additional suggestions that helped us to get some amazing wedding day photos. My husband is not one to show a lot of emotion on camera, but Erin ensured that we did actions that he was not focused on the camera, but just enjoying the moments which allowed us to catch some very beautiful and memorable wedding day photos. She took many different positions, areas, and lighting to ensure we were getting the best options despite the weather not cooperating on the day. It's important to note that right before our wedding is when WNC was seriously affected by flooding and catastrophic damages. Even though Erin lives in an area that was heavily affected, she maintained communication, and while we were worried about her safety, she reassured us she'd still be available for our wedding. If that doesn't say professionalism, I don't know what else to say! She was very kind and thoughtful, and her calming and positive energy helped keep my anxiety at bay on what could have been an an incredibly stressful day. When it came time to preview the photos, Erin and I communicated about style options, and Erin showed available options to ensure the photos were everything I could hope for. Overall, we couldn't have been any happier with Erin and her photography. She is amazing and professional and did a wonderful job. And the photos were more than we ever could have hoped for. If you are looking for a photographer for your special day, there is no doubt in my mind that Erin will exceed every need, want, and hope you could possibly have.

I moved around a lot growing up and I can remember not always loving it. But now, truly grateful for how it's shaped me. My husband was the exact opposite. He had a hometown, graduated high school with childhood friends, knowing every street, and watching every change. I think that is part of the reason we were attracted to each other. One yearning for roots, and the other for branches. Finding them within each other. Finding in each other a home and an adventure. It is hard to remember who I was before him, and hard to imagine my life without him. When I think of him... I smile, I cry, I laugh. This is what makes me feel alive.

Gabby was the best photographer we could have ever hoped for. We told her what we were looking for in terms of nature (i.e., mountains and desert) for our wedding, and she knew all the best spots. She recommended multiple places that provided stunning backdrops (e.g., Storm Mountain, Brighton, Donut Falls, Guardsman Pass, Antelope Island). She stayed with us the entire day (so many hours!) and did a second day after photo shoot to get some good desert pictures (Antelope Island). She was amazing with our friends and family, always very friendly and warm. I did a lot of research on photographers before choosing her, and her portfolio demonstrated exceptionally high quality work for a very reasonable price. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND her for any event that you want to remember well.

Hello! I’m Sharon and I own Sharon Elisabeth Photography. I feel so grateful every day that I get to capture the most heartfelt moments and feelings that occur during weddings as well as documenting the relationships between people who love each other so much – families, friends and couples! I love to tell the story of a wedding day and capture all the forms of love found there. It’s definitely not an “I have to go to work today” career. For me … it’s “I GET to go to work each day!" There is nothing I would rather do more than have my camera in my hands & working with wonderful people.

Sharon was our photographer for our engagement photos in March 2024 and our wedding in September 2024. Everything came out amazing. Sharon has a true eye for photography and she proved it to us in all her creative ideas!

Love has a way of surprising us. I know this from experience. My husband and I married, divorced, and then found our way back to each other seven years later. That journey taught me something profound: when love is real, it doesn’t follow rules. It evolves. It deepens. It returns. That’s the kind of love I photograph—the kind that chooses each other, again and again. That’s why I do what I do. Weddings aren’t just a beautiful day, they’re your story. The in-between moments, the laughter, the tears, the glances no one else notices--those are the moments I live to capture.

Awarded Best of Zola
Molly is absolutely incredible. She photographed my whole wedding day and made everything feel absolutely perfect. She was immensely kind, focused without making us feel rushed, very easy to work with, always looking for an authentic moment and great at giving prompts for the less authentic ones, and delivered a gallery above and beyond our wildest dreams (with many more pictures than even promised!). Our photos have a sweet, timeless, and genuine feel that represents who my husband and I are so well. I can't stop looking at them! Our perfect day was immortalized in the best way, and she did not miss a single detail. She also made us feel seen, prioritizing what we wanted out of our wedding day and experience. I cannot give enough recommendations for her! Just an amazing human also.

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 four 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 and horse, or exploring the world around me.

Faith was absolutely amazing throughout my entire engagement photos and wedding process. I couldn’t be happier with the way my pictures came out. I looked at her site and her style is exactly what I wanted and she stayed true to that when delivering our final pics. Both our engagement session and wedding pictures blew me away. She was always so accommodating about shot ideas I had, location ideas, you name it - but also helped so much with giving us ideas and my husband and I are awkward so that was much needed haha! She was also amazing with my crazy family and friends day of. The value of her services is completely unbeatable. I was nervous about this big purchase as it was the largest budget item I paid for my day and it was more than worth every penny - looking back I’d pay even more because I am so happy. Thank you Faith you truly are the sweetest!

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!

Eugene was responsive, flexible, and overall had such an incredible eye. He was super open to my suggestions, but also at the various spots gave great advice and helped us pose in a way that looked natural. I could not be more thrilled with our sneak peak, and all of our friends and family have been blown away with the photos so far. Eugene was excellent at getting candids, the formal, photos, and especially the romantic photos I had saved from pinterest. I spent hours and hours researching photographers as that was most important to me, and I am so glad I went with Eugene. We will be referring him to all our friends who get married nearby!

Kelsey is a dream to work with. I looked through her portfolio and knew I wanted to work with her. Not only did I love the engagement shoots she has done, but it was amazing to see that she had done a lot of weddings at the venue I picked. I had her do my engagement photos & 6hrs for the wedding. She was very responsive anytime I reached out. I know wedding season is very busy, I never felt like I was left hanging. While my new husband is comfortable in-front of the camera, I was very much not. Kelsey is great at guiding and making you feel comfortable. Our engagement photos were something different from her portfolio, the arcade, and she did a phenomenal job like I knew she would. Stephanie assisted us on the day of the wedding and she was wonderful too. I provided a detailed shot list for the family portraits and she did a great job navigating the family. After dinner Kelsey was able to provide me with a sneak peek of my photos. I am so excited to see the rest of my photos!
