  • Serves Charleston, 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.

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.

We have a full time team that has covered weddings for 18 years with a unique style. We love sunset and a moody sky! Our edits are very close to true to color with just a bit of drama and spice! We are an easy-going team that can roll with the punches when necessary while also making decisive decisions throughout the day. We offer multiple levels of service for photography and even offer videography as well.

I literally just finished texting Krista that she is the absolute best human ever after looking at my wedding album for the first time. The teasers were incredible, but after looking through the entire gallery, I am ABSOLUTELY FLOORED with the photos. My husband and I eloped in Charleston from Maryland and I contacted easily 15 photographers. Several of them were at least twice the price and their quality paled in comparison to Krista and her all star team. After having our initial phone call, I knew I had to have Krista be a part of our wedding. We chatted for an hour and I felt like we were friends from another life and it turned out we had very similar lives and just completely hit it off. She is tell it like it is, but insanely professional at the same time which is VERY hard to pull off. She is a ray of sunshine, genuinely adores what she does and gives all of herself to make sure she delivers and she CRUSHES it. Stephanie was absolutely amazing too and Krista's husband and his partner created the most magnificent wedding video for us. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND MAKE THE EASIEST DECISION OF YOUR ENTIRE WEDDING PLANNING BY BOOKING KRISTA AND HER TEAM!! you will be the happiest ever!!!!

On your wedding day, you deserve more than stunning photos; you deserve an experience that lets you stay fully present, soaking in every laugh, every tear, and every joyful glance. With a photographer who understands your vision and quietly captures the big milestones and the subtle in-between moments, you can enjoy your day with full confidence, knowing your wedding day images will feel as incredible as they look.

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.

Hello! I'm Dennis Aliaksandrou of Charleston Photo Art. My decade-long journey in professional photography focuses on weddings, elopements, and engagement photography. We craft timeless memories in our photos and videos. My background in Psychology helps me capture the essence of your special moments. We're dedicated to authentically telling your story through our lenses.

We cannot recommend Charleston Photo Art enough! From the moment we first met him, he was professional, approachable, and so easy to talk to. On our wedding day — one of the busiest and most emotional days of our lives — he managed everything with such calm, kindness, and genuine warmth that it instantly put us (and our families) at ease. Not only was he incredibly friendly and patient, but he also had an amazing eye for detail. He captured every single moment beautifully — from the big, emotional highlights to the little in-between memories we didn’t even realize were happening. His creativity and talent truly shine through in every shot. What impressed us most was how seamlessly he blended into the day. He managed to be everywhere without ever being intrusive, guiding us with gentle direction when needed while also letting natural moments unfold. Our guests all commented on how lovely he was to work with — he felt like part of the celebration rather than just someone behind a camera. The final gallery left us absolutely speechless. Every photo tells a story, and together they perfectly reflect the joy, love, and energy of the day. These are memories we’ll treasure forever, and we’re so grateful to have had such a gifted and genuine photographer to capture them. If you’re looking for someone who is not only incredibly talented but also kind, reliable, and a true joy to have around on your special day — look no further than Dennis Aliaksandrou!

I write this with complete honesty. Jolie’s work is amazing and so is she, it truly is amazing watching her work, because she looks for the perfect spot, she has a vision and it shows with every photograph she captures. I fell in love with her work when searching for our photographer and we even said as long as we get one picture we love we will be happy. We find ourselves scrolling through each picture amazed at the fact that we don’t just love one, we are in awe with every single picture she and her second photographer captured. From beginning to end , she has been extremely professional, attentive to detail , punctual and most importantly welcoming. Not once did we feel uncomfortable during our wedding. We are extremely grateful that we got to meet such a wonderful person that made our wedding possible by capturing every single detail we will cherish for ever. If we had to choose another photographer, we would choose Jolie over and over again. Jolie , thank you so so much for your beautiful work. We wish every inch of success in your professional and personal life ! If you find yourself wondering who to choose to capture your wedding day, contact Jolie !

Hey, I'm Mary! It's nice to meet you. Summing up who I am in an "about me" is always difficult. 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

Having Mary as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

Lee Photo and Video, we cannot say enough amazing things about them, and recommend them enough. We had both photography and videography for our wedding on 12.12.24. We say this in the nicest way possible but we didn't even know they were there at times of the day, which for us was amazing so we didn't feel too overwhelmed. We searched for a long while before booking with Lee Photo and Video and from our first consultation we knew right away that it was a perfect fit. The photos and video that they captured was beyond amazing and brought us to happy tears. . They captured every aspect and detail better than could have imagined. We are thrilled to have had such an amazing experience and to have these memories too look back on for forever. We will forever be grateful for having booked them for such a special part of our day and look forward to the days we get to book them for future family photos and such.

Working with Ashley was such a dream! Her attention to detail and vibes are amazing. We felt a little bit awkward during our engagement photo shoot just because we had not taken professional photos together before and Ashley was able to break the ice and keep us giggling the whole time. Do not question any of the silly things she has you do because your photos will be that much better for it. We would love to work with Ashley again in the future & cannot wait to display her work around our house!

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!

Our photos turned out stunning, and we couldn’t be happier. Highly, highly recommend to anyone looking for a photographer who is talented, thoughtful, and amazing to work with!
