Eugene Svirhun Photo 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves West Columbia, SC

I started photography in 2017 and after being a part of many weddings, engagements, and family sessions, I still love what I do and I am deeply dedicated to serving my clients. I consider myself a storyteller and love capturing the little details, the half-smiles, and the simple motions. For me, it is about seeing the real, the lovely, and the messy moments, the everyday magic that tells the stories of our lives. Each wedding and session has its own unique story to tell and I challenge myself to capture those stories through my camera as best as I can and would be honored to capture yours too!

We couldn’t be happier with our decision to work with Eugene for our wedding! His relaxed, easy-going vibe immediately put us at ease, which made the whole experience so enjoyable. It felt like having a close friend capturing our day, not just a photographer. The photos are breathtakingly beautiful and so true to life— just authentic moments and natural colors that perfectly captured the feel of the day. Every time we look at them, it’s like reliving our wedding all over again. Eugene was a pro at blending in seamlessly—catching the little candid moments while still guiding us gently through the posed shots when needed. He made everything feel so effortless and fun! If you want stunning photos and a photographer who makes the entire process stress-free, we can’t recommend Eugene 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.

We couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our wedding! From the very beginning, Carson was incredibly professional and attentive, ensuring she understood all the shots we wanted. 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!

He had a true passion for his craft that shone through in every interaction.

Shot By Shante Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves West Columbia, 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
Anytime I am able to work with Shante I am so excited! Her energy is amazing and immediately you know you are in good hands. She’s patient with vendors, always communicates and brings new ideas to the table. With clients, she makes sure they are at ease and comfortable in front of the camera. I completely trust her creative eye to always find new ways to collaborate together.

Hi there! We’re Samantha and Brady, a husband-and-wife photography team based in Columbia, South Carolina*. We’re all about capturing those real, candid moments—the ones that tell your story in the most authentic way. Striking a balance between documentary and editorial imagery is important to us, as we feel everyone deserves beautiful photos of themselves on one of their biggest days.

Sam and Brady are the BEST photographers we could have hoped for. We loved their photography style and had so much fun during both the engagement session and on our wedding day! They were great to work with! Always timely with communicating with us, took the time to help us create a well-thought-out timeline, accommodated some extra requests for family photos, and kept us well within time for my husband and I to get some extra fun photos of just the two of us after the ceremony. The sneak peaks we received are just incredible, and we are so excited to see the full gallery. I cannot recommend Sam and Brady enough to anyone else needing a wedding photography team!

Melissa G Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,499
  • Serves West Columbia, 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!

God has truly given Helen a gift! Our wedding day was everything we could have ever hoped for and we are so very thankful that she was there to capture it all! Our friends and family have said how lucky we were to find her and we couldn’t agree more. Helen was much more than a photographer, she became our friend. Working with Helen was truly one of the best parts of our wedding process. From the initial dinner meeting at Café Strudel, to the engagement shoot, the bridal session, to the wedding day, she was extremely supportive, fun and professional.

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.

Once Like a Spark Wedding Co.

  • Serves West Columbia, SC

More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

Alex & Jeremy were the BEST. I cannot believe the number of compliments I received from friends and family who were at the wedding. They were the most professional and interacted with our guests all night long. During the day, we moved through our timeline so smoothly but never felt rushed in my special moments with my husband. We laughed, we cried, we danced- every moment was captured by them and we are so thankful! I was hoping that the weather would cooperate for some golden hour portraits- not only did Jeremy get the most BEAUTIFUL golden hour photos but he grabbed us just as the sun came peaking out of the clouds and got a few photos of us with my veil in the wind. I am OBSESSED with both sets of these portraits. I’ve already recommended OLAS to friends and family who are getting married. They were the best vendor I could have asked for to capture our special day!

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.

Isaac did a wonderful job photographing our backyard wedding. He did a brilliant job capturing my visions as well as brought ideas of his own.
