Alissa with Sweet Bliss Media was very personable and easy to connect with. On my wedding day, she made me feel like it was her life's mission to make me feel and look beautiful in my photographs. Amidst all the craziness of your wedding day, it felt nice to have someone by your side to bring out the beauty. Who is not just there as a photographer for hire, but a forever friend capturing the special moments. Alissa also did things that she was not asked or contracted to, but just out of the kindness of her heart. She brought me bottled water to ensure that I stayed hydrated and even stayed later than we had originally laid out in the contract to make sure that my send-off was captured! She is a sweetheart and even though the photography was the biggest bill of the wedding budget, it was worth every penny, even my husband agrees. The finished product is absolutely stunning and we can’t wait to use her again for our family photos!! We highly recommend Alissa to all brides looking for a wedding photographer.

Dandelion Weddings + Co.

5.0

Charleston, SC
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500

We both think the ultimate reward with being a wedding photographer is when your bride and groom express to you that they are head over heels in love with their photos, or their mom/dad shed happy tears when looking through their online gallery. It is without a doubt the most rewarding feeling one can have. At that point you know that you have made an extremely gracious and happy client, one who will cherish our work/photos of them for many years to come. We love what we do and we have invested over 18 years in our field. 10X+ Award Winners.

Awarded Best of Zola
I absolutely can't give Tori + Jason with Dandelion Weddings + Co. enough stars!!! Highly exceptional and professional. Both lively, upbeat, and were truly like part of the family. Jason and Tori and kind, considerate and passionate. I don't know what I would have done without Tori's honesty when hiring a photographer, her willingness to help me book my additional vendors. Giving us both a piece of mind by covering our wedding with Liability Insurance, so we wouldn't be held responsible for so many things I never ever thought to consider during my wedding. Tori planned my portrait photography and knew exactly what she was doing and where she was doing it logistically, it SAVED so much time after the ceremony. She based our photography off all of the information we gave her and she pays so much attention to details. She also is fun and used prompts during our candid shots to where they were the topic of conversation during our wedding!!! Our guests could not get over how much fun they both were. Tori and Jason also had another side of themselves, and that is that they know how to talk to people like they have known them forever. While working with them both so closely- by the time we made it to the day of my event, we already considered them family. They are both so creative and Tori also issued me a Sneak Peek on Social Media within just a day! Her and Jason really know how to treat people and their pricing is very reasonable! After prior searching of a photographer and pricing ranges vs. everything that is included with each one, we found not only did we get exceptional service, had a BLAST, and we received two photographers for the price of one and also received an Online Gallery and so much more. We used their payment plan, and I highly recommend it for those who have a budget or spreading it out makes it more affordable. There isn't even a charge for it! I can't say enough about them both, their services and their quality of work. I HIGHLY- HIGHLY recommend Dandelion Weddings! 20 STARS!!!! ********************

Taylor Rae Photography

5.0

Charleston, SC
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,800

It brings me so much joy to photograph two people in love. That’s why I adore working with couples who know that their marriage is about SO MUCH MORE than just their wedding day. It’s all the days that follow. It’s choosing your spouse each and every day. Your wedding day will be perfect, not because everything went according to plan, but because you said YES to the love of your life. And I see it as a huge honor when a couple chooses me to document such an important day in their lives! When past brides describe my style, they say words like, “joyful,” “romantic,” “warm,” “bright,” and “photos that actually look like me!”

If you are looking for a wedding photographer, look no further! Taylor is your woman! My husband is not a huge fan of having his photo taken, so my main concern was finding someone that would make him feel comfortable. Little did I know how much Taylor would calm my nerves on our wedding day. She is such a light, but fun presence and I think that is reflected in how natural our photos felt. They truly reflect us, our love and the feeling of our big day. The only trouble you'll have is figuring out which of the hundreds of amazing photos you want to print. Seriously, is there a limit to how many wedding photos you should display in your home? She is the best!

King Street Photo Weddings

5.0

Charleston, SC
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,500

Taking pictures has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. People ask me all the time, what I do for a living? I respond I own King Street Photo Weddings. I am very blessed and honored to be an image-maker. My amazing team & I capture joyful, emotional, people at weddings.

I have worked with Michel & his team for many years. Michel is passionate but also a true master photographer. He creates images with his lighting techniques that in mine and most clients opinion are like no other. He pushes the boundaries and does not use ambient light in most cases and why his website and photos of his work are exemplar and superb. His business knowledge and service & 5 stars reviews are far above most wedding vendor capabilities and why he always mentions that he has been a wedding photographer for over 21 years plus. Need I say more...?

Priscilla Thomas Photography

5.0

Charleston, SC
  • Photojournalistic style

I was born on a U.S. Air Force base in Keflavik, Iceland, to parents native to Mississippi and Louisiana. My early childhood was spent in Alamogordo, NM, before my family returned to some southern comfort in Charleston, SC. Photography has been a part of my life since adolescence when I worked on the school newspaper and yearbook. During college, I contributed editorial op-ed pieces to The George Street Observer at the College of Charleston and continued to embrace photographic ventures. After college, I started freelancing in photography and writing in Charleston, SC.

Priscilla and Davis were the best to work with. As a pretty laid back bride with very little of my own input other than wanting beautiful pictures and memories, Priscilla captured EXACTLY what I asked for and more! She is amazing to work with and I highly recommend her! We love our photos

Madison Krupp Photography

Johns Island, SC
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,200

I’m Madison, but you can call me Maddy. You should know right off the bat, I’m not your typical wedding photographer. As a journalist, I was trained to see the story in everything. Now, as a photographer, I use storytelling to connect with people. And the stories I want to tell are adventurous, unbiased, natural, emotive love stories. So let’s skip the small talk. I want to hear about your biggest life hurdles, your aspirations, your journey, and the things that ignite your soul. Let’s skip the pomp and circumstance, too. If your dream is to marry your partner on a mountaintop, I’ll grab my hiking boots.

Oh my goodness... Madison Krupp is an absolute gem. She has the kindest heart, and makes you feel completely at ease! Having her take our wedding photos felt so easy and natural - she has such a calming way about her that almost makes you forget photos are even being taken! My husband and I had so much fun spending time posing, laughing, and really taking in those special moments together. I absolutely adore our wedding photos, and will treasure them forever. We couldn't of asked for a better person to photograph our day - she captured every moment so perfectly. In a professional setting, she is wonderful to work with as well. I work at a wedding venue and absolutely love when Maddy and I get the opportunity to work alongside each other at weddings + events. She is professional, warm, and cares deeply for her clients and her work. Thank you for all you do, MK!

I’m Matt! I am a Colorado wedding photographer living in Denver Colorado. I love documenting stories in the Rocky Mountains and all over the state.I believe that your wedding day is more than our time we spend together taking photographs. It’s about the moments you spend with your loved ones. The memories shared on the dance floor. It’s your parent giving their special piece of advice during speeches. All of these moments matter to me as much as they matter to you. I understand that you want to be able to cherish these memories and be able to share them with future generations. Marriage is a journey. Let’s document it together.

Once Like a Spark Wedding Co.

  • Serves Charleston, SC

More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

After being given a long list of wedding photographer vendors from our venue, Once Like A Spark really stood out to us not only because of their name but also because their portfolio of pictures was exactly the vibe we were looking for in our wedding photos. This company was extremely easy to work with and their communication was awesome! They have different team members designated for each stage of planning so you know you’re getting the attention you need during a stressful time. We used OLAS for our September 2023 wedding. We opted for a second photographer after originally booking only one and they made the addition seamless to our contract! You are able to choose your primary photographer and we chose Matt (a former Bruins photographer, which my husband loved :)) and he could not have been more professional and focused the day of the wedding! Our second photographer was wonderful too! Both were detail oriented and made us so excited to see the shots they got! We received our gallery 5 weeks after the wedding, which was earlier than we expected, and were totally blown away! Our photographers nailed it! We cannot recommend OLAS enough! 10 out of 10 experience!

Working with Sean was a pleasure! I had contacted him with only 10 days left for my surprise proposal and his quick responses and on-point communication really put me at ease. Talking over the details of the surprise helped me fine tune the location and setting so he could capture some perfect moments. Sean made sure he was around throughout the night; before the surprise and afterwards for the party to capture the entire night. That way we got a great sense of the entire time for our everlasting memories. The pictures have come out great and everyone has loved them!

I am a travel photographer based out of Louisville, Kentucky. I have always been the friend with the camera admiring those around me. I am truly captivated by people simply being people, always finding beauty in human connections and the REAL. My goal is to be a calming presence, help the day run smooth, and ensure everyone in front of the camera feels COMFORTABLE. I lean toward documentary style photography emphasizing what makes your love unique.

Kaitlyn was amazing! We did engagement and wedding photos with her, and they turned out so beautiful. She's really friendly, and put us at ease (neither of us like being on camera). She managed to catch several photos of my husband genuinely smiling, which is hard to do!

Hey future newlyweds! I'm Jarrod, a wedding photographer that specializes in story telling. Tired of all the bright, overposed, cookie cutter sh*t you keep seeing? Let's create wedding images with real emotion, story, and intention to them. I know being in front of the camera can be awkward. That's why I choose not to pose couples, but instead prompt you to do something like "take off your shoes and run across the field" or " get inside the car and kiss everywhere except the lips". These prompts will help you feel comfortable and also help create candid images. Check out my website for more info :)

Awarded Best of Zola
Jarrod and his wife, Taylor, are truly a dream to work with! My husband and I really wanted some simple engagement photos taken, but were reluctant because we’re not totally comfortable in front of the camera and didn’t want the poses/photos to look cheesy. Taylor gave us plenty of suggestions to pose us naturally and kept us laughing which put us at ease immediately. Jarrod was such a professional and really worked every angle and background to make it look like we spent an entire day shooting. The editing was super crisp and clean and the photos came back incredibly quickly. They far exceeded our expectations and we can’t thank them enough for giving us beautiful, lasting memories from such an important time in our lives. This couple is seriously amazing - genuine, fun, and experts at what they do!! Book them!

I was introduced to the world of photography the same week I was introduced to the world! All thanks to my Dad, who was never without his camcorder or camera. Because of him, our memories growing up are preserved. Then I got my first camera + tons of film. I documented everything. When film turned into digital, that was a turning point in my life. Since then, my memories, large + small, have been organized on my computer, by year. So I can go back + revisit so many wonderful memories from my life...most which I wouldn't remember without pictures!

My husband and I got married at the start of the pandemic. Who would’ve thought that not long after I met the man of my dreams the world would be turned on its head! But there we were, starting a new life together during an uncertain time. Our wedding plans went through many changes as you would imagine. But Nicole was understanding, and did her best to work with our requests. She seemed to be just as excited about our plans as we were. My husband and I both agreed that she was easy to reach, and she was always very pleasant whenever we did so. She actually showed up to my wedding before I did! I would positively recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer for a special event. I’m very pleased with how the pictures came out. I would like to hire her again to do some family photos.

She was so fun to work with and truly made this experience so wonderful. My fiancé hates getting pictures done and he even said he had such a great time. I am getting married back home in Iowa and was originally only going to use CityLux for engagement photos, however, it was such an incredible experience we are going to use them for our wedding next year.

This is going to be a long BUT WORTHY review because we cannot say enough AMAZING things about Julie - she is the best photographer ever! Working with Julie was a highlight of our wedding day. She has a very calming presence ad knowing she was there taking my photos made me so happy. She took our wedding photos and an engagement photo shoot and is truly one of the kindest people I have ever met! She has excellent communication and responds to calls and texts almost instantly, which was so reassuring because I was running late getting to the venue and she was fine walking around and getting a lay of the land before I got there. From the initial phone call to hear about her services and ask questions, I knew without a doubt she would be our photographer. She explained her wedding packages, her experience with photography and it felt like I was having a conversation with a friend and throughout the wedding process ad the big day, I feel like we have become great friends. She personalized our photo experience to match our style and that is so apparent in all of the photos. She provided the wedding photos within 6 weeks of the wedding day and kept me in the loop on timing and sent amazing preview pictures. She has a very easy to use gallery in which a link is provided, and you can download all of the photos. I got so many compliments from guests that she was so friendly and took so many great photos. For someone who worries about everything, photos was something I did not have to worry about because she knows exactly what photos should be taken and took suggestions for poses we wanted (it was a wedding on a tennis court so we had a few specific poses we wanted). She got so many great photos of guests, family photos, candid photos during our vow exchange and other times and during the ceremony that every emotion we were feeling was captured on film. My husband hates photos, but Julie is such a calming presence that even my husband and some family members who don’t like photos really enjoyed taking photos. She can strike up a conversation with anyone and is a ball of positive energy, which is a must have on a wedding day! Everyone that talked to her was delighted to meet her and said she was the best photographer they have met, and I couldn’t agree more. I am still amazed at the photos we received. She made the colors of the flowers, my hair (redhead) and the colors of the bridal party dresses pop in a way I didn’t even know was possible. She truly captured every emotion of the day. I couldn’t be happier with the photos and cannot wait for Julie to take more photos in the future for our family!

These aren't just photos. These are stories. They're your story. My approach is natural. I don't force moments, but I do know when to help direct. I want you to feel comfortable enough to come as you are, and let me capture the true essence of "you", because that is what matters the most. I am a natural light wedding photographer, which means I use solely the natural light outside or inside a building. I know what types of light situations are best, and I know how to combat the ones that are out of our control. I think natural light brings out the creamy tones to skin, makes your eyes sparkle, and makes for an organic photo.

And there’s no awkward posing or fake smiles involved. Just goofy fun and bad jokes, and you being yourself. So come see the world through my eyes.

In a word, Amanda is extraordinary. In more words, Amanda was the best vendor decision for our wedding day. I'm a photographer, my now-husband is a videographer, and while we do not do weddings ourselves, we have both worked our fair share of them in the past, so we had a few ideas of what we were (and were not) looking for in a photographer. We could not have possibly had a better experience than we did with Amanda. On our wedding day, I forgot that I was a photographer. I knew every detail was left in her capable hands and I was able to relax and not worry about our photos even once. Meeting Amanda the first time was what solidified our choice in photographer. We already loved her portfolio of work. We already knew we'd love the photos, but meeting her in person solidified that she was the right fit for us. People don't often think about "fit" when it comes to a photographer, but it's so important. Amanda made us feel relaxed and at ease in front of the camera (that's not easy when you're always the one behind the lens), and we knew that she would be able to handle all sorts of personality types in our families and friends. Our wedding day images are thoughtful and artful and surpassed our already-high expectations. Our day was perfectly documented, and when you look at the gallery, it tells you a story - our story. Every time I look at our photos I am taken back into those moments, which is exactly what a good photo should do. I could go on and on (and on), but you get the point. Amanda's an artist and a professional and went the extra mile to make our photographs memorable and authentic, and our wedding day photography stress-free and easy. I simply cannot recommend her enough.

Shayla managed to keep our day running smoothly while capturing every moment in both a beautiful and candid way. She was so patient with our huge family and everyone commented on how sweet she was! Our photos are SO gorgeous, and show every emotion; excitement, nerves, joy and how much we love each other. Trust me, you want to book her. We wouldn’t want anyone else. Thanks Shayla!

I have been a photographer since my freshman year of high school when I was given the opportunity to photograph the football team as well as to help with photos for the yearbook. I moved from Delaware to South Carolina in 2009, where I fell in love with the Lowcountry. I specialize in weddings, but I absolutely love capturing an engagement or family session as well! I like to approach any and all sessions with a photojournalistic eye. My goal is always to capture true and authentic moments between couples, families, and friends while providing my clients with gorgeous memories.

The fact we have the same last name made it for me. You’re amazing. Very accommodating and gave clear direction and perspective to the vision we imagined. Please book her for your wedding! You won’t regret it!! Thank you for capturing our special day we’ll cherish forever.

He has a great attention to detail and he is quick & efficient to capture a very meaningful moment. At times he even goes out of his way to create something unique & filled with emotion. He give great cues that create natural feeling emotions & poses. He is funny, kind, calm & upholds a standard of professionalism. His editing is consistent and thoughtful.

I’ve been Julia the Photographer for over half my life, and Julia the Wedding Photographer for a nearly a decade. I've been a part of over 200 wedding days, and it just never gets old. Firm believer that love looks good on everyone. I want to know you and what matters most, so your photos from your day reflect that. I married my husband Jordan in the mountains, young. We welcomed our son Sebastian in January 2022, and have two pups, Disco and Rowan. I love finding magic in the ordinary, the beach at night, cute video games and silly teen drama tv shows. Trying to be a walking sparkle!

I can't say enough about how sweet, warm, professional, kind and talented Julia is. From our very first meeting, she felt more like a friend than a vendor. She had great ideas for how to work within our budget and still fulfill the must-haves on our photo wish list. She was willing (and excited!) to change things up super last-minute for our engagement photos and create a beautiful, unique shoot in our own backyard and neighborhood. Her photos of our wedding day are so full of love, life and light. She made our friends and family so comfortable that even the more traditional posed family shots are playful, relaxed and fun. Absolutely everyone shines in front of her lens.

Our journey into photography started in 2015 at the same time we first met: during training to become photojournalists for the U.S. Air Force. In 2017 we shot our very first wedding, and completely fell in love. From there, our passion for photography and working with couples only grew, and we finally decided to begin our business. Lauren loves iced coffee and being outdoors. While we call Charleston home, her heart belongs to the mountains (camping trip for your engagement session?!). Justin loves his Harley and cruising with the windows down. Most days, you can find him in the kitchen making homemade (delicious) bread, pasta or tortillas.

Justin and Lauren truly are amazing. From start to finish the entire experience of having them shoot our engagement and wedding photos was absolutely fantastic. Justin & Lauren do incredible work, are professional and always quick to respond with any questions or clarifications, and as an added bonus are quite fun to spend time with. Even as someone who is not very comfortable in front of the camera, their laid-back attitude and patience with my awkwardness immediately placed me at ease and turned our shoot into a genuinely enjoyable experience. Their photo quality is incredible, and we have received countless compliments on both our photos and the final album they created for us. I can't say enough how much I would recommend them to any and everyone, you won't be disappointed.

Hi! We're Julie and Rad. We met in Vietnam in 2016, and have lived in eight countries together since then. During our time abroad we've had plenty of adventures, seen incredible wildlife, eaten a lot of wonderful food, and honed our photography skills. We also got married in 2020! Planning a wedding during a pandemic involved an unusual set of challenges. Although our guest count was a little smaller than we originally anticipated-- the day could not have been more perfect. This was made possible only because we hired and trusted the right people. We try to instill the same trust so you can enjoy your day!

Kind, patient, flexible, talented... what more could you ask for from your wedding photographers. Jules & Conrad are top-quality people and photograhers. We fell in love with them for their eye - finding beauty in the smallest of candid details. Even going in with high expectations, we were overwhelmed by the quality of the gallery Jules & Conrad delivered. If you want photographers who will also be able to capture the small moments beyond the big kiss - the quiet glances, the guest smiles, the reach of a hand, a dancefloor drop - this is the couple for you. Would choose them as our photographers a million times over.

My love for photography started at a young age in my small hometown outside of Pittsburgh. After being in public accounting for over four years, I eventually left to explore the creative fulfillment that photography has always given me. I knew immediately that being able to capture the love and joy between a couple for them to cherish for years to come, brought me the fulfillment I was searching for. As a photographer, I love natural light, authentic moments and adventurous souls. When not behind the camera, I’m forever a Harry Potter superfan and pasta addict. I’m always looking for new people and places to inspire me.

Alessandra photographed my sister in laws wedding and we knew we needed her contact information! We couldn’t be happier with working with Alessandra. She captured our entire wedding weekend with confidence, fun & positivity. She delivered our sneak peek photos within 2 days of our wedding and we were blown away. We can’t wait to see how our photos turned out, we know they will be amazing. 10/10 recommend Alessandra and for your wedding!

I want to capture all your in-between moments, those are my favorite, the way you guys sneak looks and steal kisses. I don’t want to be just another person who shows up and waves a black box in your face. I want your photos to represent your effortless connection, the closeness with your person, and all the other things that make you guys YOU! I am inspired by your love and I want to capture YOUR raw and real story. I want to tell it through my photos. And the fact that no else has been in my shoes, I see the world through eyes that no one else has. That’s what makes me different. Also NO TRAVEL FEE anywhere in the states!!

We got married in June 2022, and even now looking at our photos and video has us in disbelief at how Ruzin beautifully captured our special day. It’s like we’re viewing someone else’s wedding, but it’s actually ours! Throughout wedding planning, she went above and beyond for us and we can’t truly express our gratitude. She takes the time to get personal and get to know you well and understand your vision to help take it to the next level. We’ve seen many wedding photos, but hands down ours were the best. Choosing her was the best decision we made!

I’ve loved art for as long as I can remember. In fact, I spent more time sketching, and creating things than paying attention in most classes (oops). I’ve found that art has always been a way for me to communicate with the world. Where my words fell short, creating things came in handy. Photography is simply an amazing extension of that. To me, photography is a way to capture memories and intricate details that God has created, to tell the story. And my desire is to capture feelings and candid moments that you can look at and instantly connect with - for years to come. People matter, and everyone has a story to tell!

Nikki and her sidekick did an amazing job capturing photos of our wedding day from beginning to end. We opted for the 2nd photographer and were so glad we did. That allowed us to get a large volume of pictures from multiple angles. Plus when the wedding party took a photoshoot tour of Minneapolis with Nikki, her partner captured photos of the cocktail hour at the wedding reception. The photos came out beautifully. Nikki also worked super well with our videographer, grabbing complementary shots. We have a great set of candid pics. She also composed tons of fun and creative setups for the bridal party that turned out wonderfully! For Christmas, we took (600) of the best shots and built a photobook for our parents as gifts. They were an instant hit and something we'll treasure forever. We're so glad we went with Nikki and would highly recommend you having her photograph your wedding!

Where do I start? Our wedding was supposed to be in 2020 but like many others, we postponed twice due to the pandemic. Carsten was very accommodating and allowed us to reschedule without any fees or increase in pricing. I should mention he also shot our engagement shoot and we loved our pictures. We didn't have the best weather for part of it and he gladly offered to do another location shoot on another day to make up for it. Something he didn't have to offer at all. Back to the wedding day, he was punctual, gave us great tips/cues when we needed it. My husband and I are very stiff photo takers and don't love taking them, so he made us and our wedding party feel very comfortable. With his little cues, the pictures turned out outstanding! We had so many family and friends comment at how great our pictures turned out. He was very professional the whole time, even helped us iron out some timeline issues and gave us great suggestions. We had viewed a ton of photographers prior to choosing Carsten and what really caught our eye was his camera angles and natural feel of the photos. He really captures the moment and surroundings in the best way. He sent us highlight photos 2 days after our wedding! We did not expect that at all but it really kept our wedding high going. He also delivered our full album in 3 weeks. Would highly recommend Carsten for your wedding!

My work is photojournalistic — I approach weddings through a documentary lens, telling the truth with beautiful and timeless imagery.

Gabbie is the absolute best photographer you could ask for! Gabbie did a beautiful job shooting my brother's wedding and we knew we had to use her for our wedding too. Coordinating a wedding during COVID was a challenge, to say the least, but she handled every postponement and venue change we threw at her with patience and grace. When we finally reached our wedding day, she knew just how to work with an over-stressed bride and groom. She’s very calming and knows exactly how to coach and compose without being overbearing. Gabbie’s greatest strength is her ability to perfectly capture the atmosphere surrounding the event, not just the event itself. Looking through her photos isn’t a reflection, it’s a magnetic pull right back to the happiest day of our lives. We can relive our wedding every time we look at her work. If you’re looking for a photographer that will go above and beyond to accommodate you while creating phenomenal memories of your day, look no further!!

Emie captured photos at my wedding that I know I will cherish forever! She has a fantastic talent for capturing someone's true essence. She gets in there, and you know she's getting the real you. In a natural, unobtrusive way, Emie captures some great candid moment. She also excels at incorporating nature into her photos and has an excellent eye for detail. Besides her talents, she did a great job of communicating with me and understanding what I wanted. She was also very professional and fun to be around. Hiring Emie to take my wedding photos was one of the best decisions I made.
