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 Lillard Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding day. From the beginning, their communication was thorough, helpful, and insightful, which put us at ease during the planning process. On the day of, Carson made an obnoxious trek to join us at our Airbnb and was so calm, cool, and collected - just what I needed as a nervous mess! Her relaxed and experienced demeanor was invaluable. The quality of her work is truly unique, affordable, and beautiful. I'm so glad we found Carson for our big day - she was a great fit for our elopement at Yosemite!

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,500

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!

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

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.

She made the elopement process so easy! We picked our location off her advice :) We also had snow hit the day of our elopement and since it was just my husband & I plus the photographers, (Dani & Jed), she let us adjust our elopement time to get the best experience in the elements. They also followed my husband & I to our restaurant where we had dinner and took some amazing candid photos our first dinner as husband and wife. Such an incredible team and incredible experience.

I moved around a lot growing up and I can remember not always loving it. But now, truly grateful for how it's shaped me. My husband was the exact opposite. He had a hometown, graduated high school with childhood friends, knowing every street, and watching every change. I think that is part of the reason we were attracted to each other. One yearning for roots, and the other for branches. Finding them within each other. Finding in each other a home and an adventure. It is hard to remember who I was before him, and hard to imagine my life without him. When I think of him... I smile, I cry, I laugh. This is what makes me feel alive.

Gabby was the best photographer we could have ever hoped for. We told her what we were looking for in terms of nature (i.e., mountains and desert) for our wedding, and she knew all the best spots. She recommended multiple places that provided stunning backdrops (e.g., Storm Mountain, Brighton, Donut Falls, Guardsman Pass, Antelope Island). She stayed with us the entire day (so many hours!) and did a second day after photo shoot to get some good desert pictures (Antelope Island). She was amazing with our friends and family, always very friendly and warm. I did a lot of research on photographers before choosing her, and her portfolio demonstrated exceptionally high quality work for a very reasonable price. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND her for any event that you want to remember well.

I love to tell the story of a wedding day and capture all the forms of love found there. It’s definitely not an “I have to go to work today” career. For me … it’s “I GET to go to work each day!"

Love has a way of surprising us. I know this from experience. My husband and I married, divorced, and then found our way back to each other seven years later. That journey taught me something profound: when love is real, it doesn’t follow rules. It evolves. It deepens. It returns. That’s the kind of love I photograph—the kind that chooses each other, again and again. That’s why I do what I do. Weddings aren’t just a beautiful day, they’re your story. The in-between moments, the laughter, the tears, the glances no one else notices--those are the moments I live to capture.

Awarded Best of Zola
Molly is absolutely incredible. She photographed my whole wedding day and made everything feel absolutely perfect. She was immensely kind, focused without making us feel rushed, very easy to work with, always looking for an authentic moment and great at giving prompts for the less authentic ones, and delivered a gallery above and beyond our wildest dreams (with many more pictures than even promised!). Our photos have a sweet, timeless, and genuine feel that represents who my husband and I are so well. I can't stop looking at them! Our perfect day was immortalized in the best way, and she did not miss a single detail. She also made us feel seen, prioritizing what we wanted out of our wedding day and experience. I cannot give enough recommendations for her! Just an amazing human also.

Hi, my name is Faith. I have been passionate about photography since 2017, when I first picked up a camera to capture my dogs growing up. What started as a simple love for photographing my pups has evolved into a deep passion for capturing moments that tell a story. Traveling is another love of mine, and Africa holds a particularly special place in my heart. I have been fortunate enough to visit four times, with hopes to have many more trips. When I am not behind the camera, I'm either coaching gymnastics, spending time with my two dogs and horse, or exploring the world around me.
