I've been waiting to post this review because I'm not sure how to put our amazing experience with…read moreJHP into words. We could not have asked for a better photographer. She is kind, patient, understanding, funny, and an absolute joy to be around. OH and she's an INCREDIBLE PHOTOGRAPHER. She's also very knowledgeable about photography and you can tell she's very experienced in her work. She knows the right poses and can set up a great shot. When we first met with Jess, I could tell that she was going to bring a positive vibe to our special day. I knew she would lift me up and make me feel like my best self in our photos. After our engagement session, that was confirmed. She just makes you feel so confident and so comfortable in front of the camera. Additionally, she knows the Columbia wedding scene and gives you recommendations for other vendors. We utilized so many of her recommendations for our day. She had questionnaires for us leading up to our big day to discuss the things we wanted or didn't want. We were able to communicate any concerns or questions and felt completely supported. We did a first look at Jess's suggestion and I am SO GLAD we did. It gave us more time for couple portraits and we were still able to join our guests for part of cocktail hour. We got a timeline ahead of time, with everything organized down to the minute. During our wedding day, Jess was prompt and organized. Everything ran smoothly. As a bride, I felt so incredibly supported the entire time. Anything I needed, even if it wasn't photo related, Jess was ready and willing to help me figure it out or find someone to. I got every shot I wanted and more. Our previews came in the following week and I was ecstatic. We got all of our pictures in less than 4 weeks. They are everything I could have wanted and more! The light, bright, airy quality of the photos complemented our venue beautifully. I will forever be recommending Jess to people I know because she is truly just the best! And to top it all off, she's an awesome human and will accept your love, no matter what it looks like.

I've loved all the projects Jessica has been involved with and to be honest, she is a great fit if…read moreyou need someone who is prompt and reliable which is why we chose her. My husband and I found ourselves visiting family in Georgia and South Carolina and we all decided we need to document a family reunion that wouldn't happen again for a very long time. It was hard to find someone to accommodate all of us on such a short notice but we found Jessica through some friends' and stalked her ig and website and just fell in love (she's been featured on HGTV even!). Thankfully, there was an option to schedule some time to discuss a quick coffee date on her website which we 100% took advantage of and were soon all set up with an evening time. On the day-of, I was frazzled and frustrated with all the chaos of everyone wanting to change their outfits or having the kids being grouchy and hungry and crying. But Jessica handled all of us with the kind of relaxed commanding nature you'd expect from a mom of 8 rambunctious teenage boys. Do you know how hard it is to wrangle 20+ adults and children and get them all to look natural and comfortable all while making you guys look gorgeous? You don't? Well, hire Jessica - she can show you how it's done and make it look like a piece of cake. We've finally gotten the images back and when my mother-in-law saw them, she started tearing up and immediately called her friends to brag. I'm so happy that our photographer wasn't just a complete pro but that she was personable and bright and made the whole event feel like an event and not a chore. Jessica doesn't just take photos, she captures fleeting moments between you and the people you love. Jessica was so darling and so fun to be around and has obviously chosen the perfect profession for herself. It shows that she loves every minute of what she does and it's contagious. Thank you!

Jessica does an amazing job and is such a great family photographer. She knows how to get my kids…read moreto smile and takes the time to make sure we have a great picture of everyone! She also did an amazing job getting the attention of our stubborn old lab so the pictures came out great with her as well! Will definitely be using Carolina Photo Studio again!!

My husband & I used Still & Motion Media for our wedding in May 2021. We worked very closely with…read moreDavid (photographer/owner) throughout the entire process and he was very easy to work with & really listened to what we wanted. COVID made everything much more difficult, ended up changing our date 3X!, but David accommodated us every time and was so lovely to work with on our wedding day! Along with Ricky, the videographer that he had alongside of him, they both put us at ease and were very respectful of both of us & our guests. We had a very limited time for pics between ceremony & reception and David chose perfect places to set us up for the most breathtaking photos! Neither of them got in the way of anything that was going on, made suggestions when needed, and it was a joy to work with them!
