Carson Lillard Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (23 reviews)
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Swansea, 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Cam North Photography was truly one of the best decisions we made throughout our wedding process. Claudia and her second shooter, Michael, were absolutely incredible from start to finish. We first worked together during our engagement session back in May, and right away she made us feel comfortable, relaxed, and confident in front of the camera. The photos captured our personalities so naturally, and that same energy carried through to my bridal shoot and our wedding day. Every session felt organized yet easygoing, and she always knew how to bring out genuine moments without making anything feel forced. On our wedding day, Claudia and Michael were the perfect team, very professional, calm, and attentive to every detail while still blending seamlessly into the day. They captured so many special moments that we’ll treasure forever, from big emotional highlights to small candid interactions we didn’t even realize were happening. One thing I especially appreciated was how quickly everything was delivered. The turnaround time was very prompt, and the quality exceeded our expectations every single time. If you’re looking for a photographer who is talented, personable, and truly cares about her clients, I cannot recommend Cam North Photography enough. We are so grateful for the memories they captured for us. Thank you Claudia, you are amazing!!!! :)

Shot By Shante Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Swansea, 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
It’s ALWAYS a pleasure working with Shanté! She’s very professional and makes you feel comfortable. She has become our family photographer for every special occasion. I highly recommend 10/10.

Melissa G Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Swansea, SC

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
I highly recommend this company to take photos at your wedding! We loved our photographer Percy. He was incredible, and so helpful. He came with several cameras and valued all of our ideas, and when we became stumped he offered ideas for us to try as well. He was very professional, kind, caring, and always on top of the game taking photos. Towards the end of our night he started to put the camera away and brought it back out to catch a few final moments. He was on top of responding to all questions before, during, and after. He took photos of me and my husband before the ceremony and got some wonderful shots (it was a 95 outside wedding so this was much appreciated because we all had some sweat on our faces). But before we got Percy and our booking process with eivans it was super simple, and just an overall great experience.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
Isaac’s photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking.
