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.

Carson was the best photographer we could have asked for! She was super helpful and easy to work with.

We booked her for both our engagement and wedding photos and both turned out absolutely amazing! We highly reccomend her!

LaneLee was born from a deeply personal journey, a mother planning her daughter’s wedding and realizing just how overwhelming, expensive, and impersonal the process could be. What should have been a joyful experience was often clouded by hidden fees, premium pricing, and unnecessary stress. Drawing on years of experience in event design, Lane stepped in to create a wedding that was elegant, comfortably within budget, and stunningly beautiful. With Lane’s creative eye and a strong foundation in business and planning, the twin sisters founded LaneLee. Their mission: to create personalized and beautiful events that honor your unique story.

Brandy and Stormy are incredible! We had already booked most of our vendors and finished a lot of the planning, but as the big day got closer, I started feeling overwhelmed about how everything would actually come together. Thankfully, we found Lanelee! From the very first phone call, Brandy and Stormy were so kind, organized, and reassuring. I immediately knew I wanted to work with them to help bring everything together. What makes Lanelee truly special is that you get two amazing sisters, Brandy, the planner, and Stormy, the designer. They make the perfect team! They flawlessly executed our dream of a simple, rustic wedding and made sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish. They created a detailed timeline, reviewed and refined all my plans, handled every vendor communication, and even saved the day when my Etsy flowers didn’t turn out as expected, they made all new ones for me themselves! Brandy and Stormy went above and beyond in every way. We are so grateful for all they did and cannot recommend Lanelee highly enough for any event or wedding planning!

Working with Kara was wonderful! From the first phone call we had with her, we knew she was the right choice for us as a wedding coordinator. She was kind, caring, organized, and thorough, and we could just tell she knew what she was doing. We always enjoyed our meetings with Kara! She is so sweet and personable. She makes what can be a stressful time and process easier. She is truly here for you, easy to talk with, and a great communicator. She's even great about kindly following up if you're not the best about responding to emails (which I can be guilty of at times). She saw our vision and championed it! She helped my décor vision come together day of and helped my detail oriented/planner fiancé and I know everything was taken care of. One of the good reasons to hire a coordinator is because they have expertise and experience in wedding planning when you likely don't. Kara made sure details we never would have thought of came into place, and kindly offered her advise and expertise whenever we asked! Kara was so wonderful to work with, and our wedding day couldn't have been amazing without her! You won't regret choosing Kara as your wedding coordinator! Best of luck to you as you plan your wedding!

I have always loved weddings. My earliest memories consist of creating weddings for my dolls and stuffed animals. I love flowers. They're beautiful, unique, fun, whimsical... any adjective it can be. Each flower is so unique and has a story to tell just like each person. They're present for some of the most important moments of our lives and a beautiful reminder to savor the moment. Petrichor Floral Design's desire is to create your floral vision for any and all of these special moments.

Petrichor Floral Design was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding! From the very first interaction, Michelle's communication was clear, responsive to our needs, and highly organized. She listened closely to our vision for an elegant but vibrant color palette and brought it to life with beautiful, whimsical floral designs that were even better than the inspiration photos I shared from Pinterest! We were in a bind 6 weeks before our wedding, planning from out-of-state and frantically searching for a new florist after being ghosted by someone who pocketed our deposit. I am SO happy that we found Michelle at Petrichor. She was sympathetic to our situation and quick to pull together a fresh floral plan that fit our timeline and remaining budget. Her advice helped us choose high-impact arrangements, and we never felt coerced to spend more than we wanted on flowers we didn't need. The end result was stunning - our guests (and folks online) are still raving about the flowers two months later! Michelle's creative vision, affordable pricing, and dedication to making our floral arrangements feel as fun and beautiful as our relationship made her a gem to work with. I can't recommend Petrichor Floral Design enough - if you're planning a wedding in the Columbia, SC area, you need to book with Petrichor TODAY.

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

We approach every wedding with a deep sense of care, professionalism, and attention to detail, from the first conversation to the moment the last plate is cleared. Our passion is creating meaningful experiences through thoughtful cuisine, seamless logistics, and a genuine commitment to the couples we serve.

Aberdeen Catery exceeded every single expectation for our event. From the first conversation, their team made us feel completely taken care of, the planning process was smooth, communication was clear, and their professionalism stood out from the very beginning. On the day of our event, the food was unbelievable. Guests were raving about the beef tenderloin, sides, and appetizers long after the night was over. Everything was beautifully presented, perfectly cooked, and service was seamless. You can tell this is a team with decades of experience, they move with a level of confidence and polish that’s rare to find. Aberdeen brought a true sense of Southern elegance to our event, and we genuinely couldn’t imagine using anyone else in the future.

Samantha & Brady Creative 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,450
  • Serves Ward, SC

Hi there! We’re Samantha and Brady, a husband-and-wife photography team based in Columbia, South Carolina*. We’re all about capturing those real, candid moments—the ones that tell your story in the most authentic way. Striking a balance between documentary and editorial imagery is important to us, as we feel everyone deserves beautiful photos of themselves on one of their biggest days.

Sam and Brady are the BEST photographers we could have hoped for. We loved their photography style and had so much fun during both the engagement session and on our wedding day! They were great to work with! Always timely with communicating with us, took the time to help us create a well-thought-out timeline, accommodated some extra requests for family photos, and kept us well within time for my husband and I to get some extra fun photos of just the two of us after the ceremony. The sneak peaks we received are just incredible, and we are so excited to see the full gallery. I cannot recommend Sam and Brady enough to anyone else needing a wedding photography team!

The Corley Mill House was the perfect venue for our wedding day. From the moment we reached out, the staff was easy to communicate with, always responding promptly and with a friendly, helpful demeanor. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful - spacious, elegant, and the perfect backdrop for our special celebration. Allie, our coordinator, was such a great help throughout the day, and all of the staff were so nice and attentive to our needs. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and we're so grateful to the Corley Mill House team for making our wedding day truly unforgettable.
