I'm Adam, a Columbia, South Carolina based photographer. I believe in capturing authentic, heartfelt moments—the kind of photos that remind you of the joy that can be found in the simplest of moments. And in photos that are itching to be printed, places in beautiful frames and hung on walls for years to come!

Awarded Best of Zola
Adam captured our wedding and I’m sure everyone says this, but I really was blown away. He was so incredibly easy to work with. He managed to capture natural, authentic moments and images that just can’t be replicated. I knew from our first meeting with him that I wanted him to be our photographer because he was so easy to be around, and I just felt so comfortable. I’m so grateful for his talents and that we have the most amazing gallery to cherish forever! Thank you, Adam!

He had a true passion for his craft that shone through in every interaction. The quality of Alec's work was absolutely stunning - we got a wonderful variety of candids, formal shots, and editorial-style pictures that captured all the special moments of our day. Alec has an incredible eye for the right shots, and the final photos are absolutely gorgeous. Despite a complicated location schedule that I was worried about, Alec made the whole day seamless, traveling to over 4 different spots to ensure we got all the groupings and special shots we wanted.

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.

I began this journey several years ago (formerly as Brandi-Lee Photography). Recently, I had decided to transform my brand into a more intentional & creative art. Photography has become one way I can express myself creatively while freezing a moment in time. I'm especially drawn to documentary & lifestyle photography as I love how natural the emotions are in the photos. There is a story to be told & I look forward to helping capture it on film. I like to consider myself as a visual storyteller.

Awarded Best of Zola
I really can’t say enough about how truly amazing Brandi is. She was with me from the start of my planning process to the end providing me with so much support and guidance. She was more than just a photographer. She is truly one of kind. From helping me coordinate a timeline, giving vendor suggestions, oh and not to mention helping me throw together a whole wedding in 72hours due to the Tennessee flooding. She is reliable and such a joy to work with. She made me feel so special. I just received our full album and let me tell you I am blown away. The quality of the photos are outstanding and I received so many!!! I am amazed at her attention to detail and ability to capture every special moment. I cannot recommend Brandi enough! She was such a blessing to work with and all around a wonderful photographer.

Only a few weddings are accepted each year — chosen, not booked. Each commission is directed like a film, every frame crafted with precision and restraint. From rooftop vows in New York to villas carved into the cliffs of Italy, this work exists for those who value legacy over likeness. It’s not about quantity or convenience — it’s about creating imagery that endures.

After our first photographer fell through, we found Caz and luckily he happened to be available on our wedding date. From the very first contact, he was incredibly responsive (super important to us), friendly and professional. His work looked great so we were excited - then we found out he was featured in Vogue! We were stoked. He was amazing to work with on the wedding day - punctual, friendly, got all the requested shots, and the whole bridal party loved him. We got our pictures back today - and they’re so much better than we could have dreamed of. It’s no wonder he was featured in Vogue - his work is artistic, candid, and beautiful. Thank you Caz for giving us such beautiful memories so we can relive the best day of our lives.

From the quiet in-between glances to the big, emotional highlights, I’ll be there documenting it all with care and intention.

Jessica truly made us feel comfortable and cared for during our engagement shoot and our wedding day. I titled this review friend-tographer because we genuinely felt like working with Jessica was working with someone we’ve known for ages. And aside from her soft skills, her results speak for themselves. I was astonished by the amount of photos, how quickly we received them, and also how beautiful they were. It was important for us to have candid shots and that is exactly what was delivered. Through the eyes and lens of Jessica, my wedding looks exactly how it felt - like a giant party with everyone we love and I’m so glad someone so talented and capable documented it. Love Jessica SO much!!

A creative duo team based in Charleston and North Augusta, SC. Creative, organic and great at making couples feel relaxed on camera. Shooting weddings for over 4 years all over the USA! Specializing in the newest techs.

Absolutely cannot recommend Ashley enough—she is truly the best photographer in the business. She captured the most stunning maternity photos of me in the snow—each one looked like it came straight out of a magazine. Then, she somehow topped that with the most perfect Fresh 48 photos of my newborn that I will treasure forever. Her attention to detail, ability to catch the most natural moments, and warm presence made both experiences so comfortable and easy. On top of all that, her turnaround time was incredibly quick and her pricing is beyond fair for the quality you receive. If you’re looking for someone who delivers breathtaking results and genuinely cares about her clients, Ashley is it. Five stars, hands down.

She did the photography for our engagement session, my bridal portraits, our wedding, and even a Christmas mini session of us and our dogs. She’s great about telling us what to do so that we get the best pictures possible, because I am not very good at knowing what to do when being photographed. On the day of the wedding, she had a clear timeline for us and made sure to keep things moving so we were able to get all of the shots that we wanted. We’ve always been so happy with the quality and style of the pictures and she always gets them back to us as quickly as possible. We can’t wait to work with her again!

Hello, I'm Kaley — the founder and lead photographer at KTP for the past seven years. What began as a creative passion has grown into a thriving business, and I’m so grateful for the journey so far. Four years ago, my deep love for storytelling through photography led me into the wedding industry. Since then, I’ve discovered a special connection to destination and elopement weddings. There’s something incredibly moving about witnessing couples exchange vows in meaningful places, surrounded by those they love most. Capturing those genuine, emotional moments is truly what drives me.

From our first interaction, Kaley's communication style was fast, genuine, and friendly - she made us feel at ease right away. The quality of their work is excellent, with a moody, romantic style that captured the essence of our special day.

I walk through my life with an eye for light, stories, and emotion. I have been photographing weddings for just shy of a decade now and can say that the people, places, and stories I have witnessed have shaped me. The friends I have made along the way I continually try to invest in them and their families. I am excited that you are here and that you are interested in having me join this journey with you. If you are fired up for your wedding day, love life a little too much, and think we could be friends go ahead and send an inquiry. Let me tell your story in an intimate way that reflects who you both are together.

Max is phenomenal, not only as a photographer but as a human as well! We moved from Colorado to Arkansas shortly after getting engaged, and because we had already selected a wedding venue in Colorado, our plan was to hire Max for engagement photos in Arkansas only and go with a CO-based photographer for the wedding. After meeting Max and hearing his story, we knew we were going to forgo our original plan and hire him for both sets of photos. Our engagement shoot was so much fun, and my husband and I both felt comfortable the entire time (which is rare for us, we're awkward people!). We knew once we got our engagement photos back that hiring Max for our wedding was the right choice, and man did he prove us right! The second he arrived at our venue on wedding day, he fit right in and made everything feel fun instead of stressful. Our family, friends, and guests are still raving about how much they loved our photographer because he was a joy to talk with and brought such a positive energy to the event. My parents even commented that Max felt like family because he made everyone feel comfortable and truly brought out the joy in everyone while we did family photos. The photos we have received back so far are outstanding - Max has a great eye and his use of light is exactly what we wanted. We are forever grateful that he was willing to travel across the country to document our day.

When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3
