The Heart & Story Behind the Lens
Elizabeth Grace Smith is a Charleston and Summerville-based photographer leading Capture Your Happily Ever After, a full-service creative team offering photography, videography, coordination, and drone coverage across the Lowcountry. Known for natural, emotional, and timeless imagery, Elizabeth serves families, couples, seniors, maternity clients, and wedding couples who value storytelling and connection in their portraits and films. Her work has been featured in local and regional publications, and she is trusted by hundreds of clients for her calm, guided, and thoughtful approach to every session and event.
Along with photography, I offer event coordination, videography, and drone coverage, allowing everything from planning to final delivery to feel seamless and meaningful — including capturing moments from above.
My approach blends creativity, preparation, and emotional awareness. I guide you through outfit choices, locations, and vision so you never feel unsure in front of the camera. Every detail is handled with care.
Elizabeth Grace Smith is a Charleston and Summerville-based photographer specializing in weddings, family, maternity, newborn, and milestone photography across the Lowcountry. She is known for natural, heartfelt imagery and a relaxed experience, serving clients in Charleston, Summerville, Mount Pleasant, North Charleston, Goose Creek, Moncks Corner, Isle of Palms, and Folly Beach.
Capture Your Happily Ever After wouldn’t be what it is without the creative hearts behind the camera.
Jason, my husband and creative partner, brings emotion to life through videography and helps every client feel at ease.
Jamal has been part of our team for over five years, bringing steady energy and a sharp eye to our video projects.
Ryan provides stunning aerial coverage as our drone specialist and secondary drone operator, helping us capture the full picture.
I also work with a trusted group of secondary photographers (Rachel) when needed, especially for larger events and weddings. And sometimes — though not often — you’ll even find my son Benjamin by my side as a second shooter-in-training, full of curiosity and joy behind the lens.
Giving back is close to my heart. Over the past several years, I’ve had the joy of organizing and supporting annual charity events benefiting organizations such as Charleston Animal Society, Dorchester Paws, Meals on Wheels, and more.
I’ve also proudly donated my time and services photographing meaningful community events like Walk and Roll, supporting causes that uplift families and neighbors across the Lowcountry.
