Carson Lillard Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,300
  • 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
Carson Lillard Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout our wedding day. Their communication style was thorough, responsive, and detailed, which put us at ease leading up to the big day. The quality of their work and dedication to our special occasion was truly exceptional. When an unexpected rainstorm threatened to put a damper on our outdoor ceremony, Carson quickly adapted, using the clear umbrellas my matron of honor surprised us with to get the sweetest, most creative photos that captured all the special moments. Even without perfect natural lighting or the ideal “golden hour”, our pictures came out absolutely phenomenal. Carson was patient and direct in wrangling our large family for group photos, and the end results were stunning. I couldn't be happier with the service and value Carson Lillard Photography provided, and I highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.

Melissa G Photography

West Columbia, SC
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,500

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!

Shot By Shante Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves West Columbia, SC

Hi, I'm Shanté! My love story with photography began at an early age - Around 7 or 8, I began collecting old pictures of my family, many taken before I was even born. I loved hearing the background story behind each polaroid, featuring beloved members of my family, some of which I never got the pleasure to meet. I was mesmerized by the fact that a single image could be so meaningful, so precious, and so nostalgic. As cliché as it is, it's absolutely true - a picture really is worth a thousand words. ​ It gives me much pride to capture authentic love stories for those who believe that the greatest of these is love. ​ -Shanté

Awarded Best of Zola
Ashante as well as Allante the videographer; made sure that our entire day was captured! All of our pictures came out so beautiful including our engagement shoot! If we had to do it over, we’d choose them again! Such wonderful vibes and professionalism.

Bohemewinterphotography was absolutely perfect for our surprise engagement photo shoot. From the very beginning, Ivanna coordinated seamlessly with my fiancé to plan and execute the surprise proposal—and she captured the exact moment he asked and I said “yes.” She even flew from Georgia to Florida to be there for us, which speaks volumes about her dedication and professionalism. Her communication was quick, reliable, and incredibly thoughtful, making the entire process stress-free (even with all the secrecy involved!). She went above and beyond by scouting local locations in person to find the perfect backdrop, ensuring every detail was just right. The photos are stunning—professional, creative, and full of emotion. She didn’t just take pictures; she captured a once-in-a-lifetime moment that we will cherish forever. The experience was seamless, joyful, and truly memorable.
