Katie Z Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding day. From the very beginning, Katie was easy to talk to, gave us great ideas and direction, and was incredibly professional throughout the entire process. Her communication was top-notch - I always knew what to expect and she made sure we were well informed with every step. Katie's work is simply amazing, from the beautiful editing to the way she helped us itemize all the special moments we wanted captured. She even carved out time to sneak in engagement photos for us, even though she was not local. Katie kept the mood relaxed and light during all of our sessions, and was able to come up with creative opportunities for our photos that we will have forever. Her natural, emotion-capturing style truly helped make our wedding day feel so special. We cannot recommend Katie Z Photography highly enough!

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.

She even provided an extra shooter on the big day to make sure every moment was captured perfectly. Her sweet and warm personality made the whole experience so enjoyable. We were a bit nervous in front of the camera, but Carson made us feel so comfortable, even playing music and attending to all the little details to ensure we looked and felt our best. She also did our engagement shoot and delivered the most stunning pictures. If you want someone who will go above and beyond to get the perfect photos, Carson is your photographer. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and reliable photographer. Thank you, Carson, for making our special day unforgettable!

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!!!!

Christina was so organized and easy to work with for our engagement session and wedding! My husband does not like getting photos taken, but after our engagement session with Christina said “okay that was kind of fun”. She makes it easy to be in front of the camera, and took so much time prior to our wedding to make sure she had all the details from the timeline, to family groupings, to must have photos figured out. And every single photo we got is amazing- we’ve gotten so many compliments on them! We would recommend her 1000 times over!

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

I’m weird (aren’t we all?), but I’m unapologetically myself, and I am obsessed with my job and this life I am so blessed to live. I've worked with some awesome couples, and maybe you're the next!

Awarded Best of Zola
Nick is a gem!! We are so thankful that he photographed our wedding. My partner and I had a lot of requests, and Nick accommodated them all while never making us feel difficult. He listened carefully to what was important to us - for my husband it was not stopping the party to take pictures and for me it was LOTS of candids of our loved ones. Somehow Nick made it happen!! We got gorgeous photos of the two of us just being ourselves with each other and amazing dance floor shots of our guests having the best time! With no posing!! The colors in the photos are fantastic -- even though Nick does AMAZING work outdoors he makes indoor photography feel just as special. Nick made a special effort to take a lot of photos of my grandparents and our parents specifically which we will treasure in years to come. Our friends said that the photos "look like how the day felt" which felt so right. We were amazed by how many micro moments between guests Nick captured!! Reliving the day via the photos is now my favorite past time. To top it all off, Nick was incredibly kind and calm throughout the day. Everyone in our families raved about how nice our photographer was. He worked with our coordinator for our timeline to run on schedule without ever making us feel rushed. We got to be fully present all day long. It was the exact energy you want by your side throughout your wedding. If we could change one thing it would have been having Nick for more time!!
