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!

  • 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Carson Lillard Photography was an excellent choice for our wedding photography. Their communication was effective, as they planned ahead and worked seamlessly with our videographer. The quality of their work was outstanding - we're always finding a new favorite photo they captured. They even recreated a special photo of my mother from her own wedding, and helped us with creative poses throughout the day. The only thing I wish is that we had more photos of just my husband alone, but overall their service and the final photos exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend this talented team!

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.

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $7,490

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
We booked Christina for family photos years ago and I remember being so surprised at how she made any of them come out between the weather and our crazy dog. When it came time to get married there wasn’t even a question on who we wanted to book. Christina exceeds expectations as a photographer. From timeline assistance to making sure every detail is sorted she is right there by your side during the planning process and the actual wedding day. Offering an engagement photo session made us feel even more comfortable with her and allowed us to enjoy our wedding day even more. We knew the prompts, we knew her and while photos are not always my husband’s preference, we have so much fun working with Christina. She delivers on all her promises, including sneak peaks and previews in such a short time! Her photos are nothing short of amazing. One of my favorite things about working with Christina is the pose and location changes. Often times, wedding photos feel like a “copy and paste” with different people. She makes sure she delivers you timeless, beautiful and very different pictures. I have recommended multiple people to Christina and I will continue to!

I’m Felisha, an Award Winning - Published New England Wedding + Portrait photographer with the honor of capturing love stories and cherished moments across New England since 2013. 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. When I’m not behind the lens, you’ll find me soaking up life with my high school sweetheart, our beautiful daughter, and our two chocolate Labradors. My heart beats for real, authentic moments—the kind where love and laughter come effortlessly.

Awarded Best of Zola
Within a year of our wedding, our original photographer canceled, and I felt nothing but panic and sadness at having to start the search all over again. When I came across Felisha’s portfolio, it felt like fate. Her work was exactly what I had been envisioning from the start of wedding planning—and more. I reached out on a whim, fully expecting her to be booked, but by all the luck in the world she wasn’t and it was meant to be! From our very first call, Felisha instantly put me at ease. She felt like a friend—warm, kind, understanding, and genuinely willing to listen. Every ounce of worry disappeared, and instead, she added to the excitement of getting married. On our wedding day it was just easy and fun, it felt like a friend was capturing our day. Not only is her photography absolutely breathtaking, but the person behind the camera is equally as remarkable. I would relive our wedding day 100 times over with Felisha by our side. I’m beyond grateful for the memories she captured and gosh are they stunning! I cannot wait for future life moments to bring us together again, she is stuck with us for life if she’ll have us!

I’m an Asheville-based photographer and lover of the great outdoors, home cooked meals, hot summer days, and going on adventures. 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!!
