As a wedding photographer, I wear so many different hats. From creating your timeline and carrying it out to buttoning your dress and giving your parents tissues. One of the most common pieces of feedback I get is "you should be a coordinator" because of how hands on i am throughout the wedding planning process and the day of. I have always been more than just a photographer, i'm your right hand girl ready to help even when it doesn't involve a camera.
I have sat on this idea for a couple of years now. There were some things I experienced first hand as a bride that i do not wish my brides to go through. Times that should have been enjoyable and fun were met with stress and unnecessary issues.
"I loved the overall relationship, it was so nice having a second brain almost, even for things that weren’t directly related to photos. I also loved how you interacted with wedding party and guests, I got such great feedback from everyone about how nice you were to work with."
"Throughout the entire wedding process Rachael was so communicative and was there for us however we needed. She reached out to us on numerous occasions throughout the year plus leading up to our wedding asking if there was anything she could help us with, which we appreciated SO much."

Our CEO with TEN years of experience in the wedding industry. As a bride and wedding photographer, she realized the need for a stress free and fun planner and coordinator. Rachael constantly received feedback from her brides telling her that she should add coordinating and planning to her services. They asked and she listened! Rachael is a Charleston native living in Greenwood, SC. She is married to her best friend, "T", who you'll probably see at your wedding helping out. Rachael loves the beach, scary movies, and traveling! When she's not photographing or planning a wedding, she's flying somewhere new or relaxing with T and her dog, Tippy, out on the lake.
Caci essentially had to plan two weddings (thanks Covid) and got into the nitty gritty of what goes into planning a wedding. She realized she really enjoys all the different pieces that have to come together to make it work. After mentioning to her wedding photographer turned best friend, Rachael, that she was interested in dipping her toes into photography/the wedding culture as a whole, Rachael took her under her wing and gave her the opportunity to work along side her. Caci fell in love with the wedding business. When she's not busy working weddings, Caci enjoys spending her time curled up with a good book or spending quality time with her cat and husband. She is originally from Greenville, SC and works weddings around the greenville area!
Ever since lauren was a little girl, she has been so intrigued with the idea of weddings and being a part of all things a wedding has to offer. It wasn't until she started working with Penny Richey, former business owner of Talk of the Town, that she truly grew to love working weddings and events in general. she found something she was good at and actually enjoyed doing. she knew she wanted to take this passion of hers and somehow make it a reality for herself. getting her Wedding planner certification at the international association of professions career college was the first step which touched on coordinating as well.
Lauren recently got married to the love of her life, William Lewis. In her free time she enjoys curling up and reading a book, yoga and spending time with friends and family. oh and weddings!! She is so excited for this new adventure of hers!
