About us

 The Heart & Story Behind the Lens 

  Elizabeth Grace Smith 

 Photography has always been more than a job to me — it’s a way to connect, preserve real emotions, and tell the stories that matter most. I specialize in portrait, candid, and staged-candid photography that captures the true you—whether it’s golden hour on the beach or a beautifully styled studio session. I can help guide you with outfit ideas, creative props, and a clear vision so your session feels relaxed, personal, and fun. 

 Along with photography, I offer event coordination, videography, and drone coverage, so everything from planning to final delivery is seamless and meaningful — even capturing your special moments from above.

  Over the years, I’ve been grateful to grow in many directions — as a published children’s author, magazine photographer, Notary Public, small business investor, and founder of a local entrepreneur networking group.  Each path I’ve taken has been inspired by my love of storytelling, service, and creativity. Giving back is close to my heart, and for the past couple of years, I’ve had the joy of organizing annual charity events supporting causes like Charleston Animal Society, Dorchester Paws, Meals on Wheels, and more. I’ve also proudly donated my time photographing other meaningful events such as Walk and Roll. 

  Meet the Team

  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 on camera. Jamal has been part of the 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 big picture. I also work with a few trusted secondary photographers who assist with photo coverage when needed, especially for larger events and weddings. And sometimes — though not often — you’ll find my son Benjamin by my side, proudly stepping in as a second shooter-in-training, full of curiosity and joy behind the lens. 

 If you're looking for someone who will care about your story as much as you do, I'd be honored to work with you. Call or text today to reserve your session — I can't wait to meet you.
