Exploring Life & Business with Lauren Madison of Carolina Palms Photography

Today, we’d like to introduce you to Lauren Madison.

Lauren Madison

Lauren, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I started my business back in 2017 when I lived in Connecticut, but it gained traction when I moved to Charleston in 2018 and then Savannah in 2021.

The majestic oaks, historic squares, and stunning venues make Savannah such a dreamy location for wedding photography. I think my filmy romantic style photography is the perfect fit for such a beautiful place.

Alright, let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what challenges have you had to overcome?
I think any success story will realistically have challenges, and mine is no different. My road to success was a gradual one of perseverance.

I used to work full-time at an insurance company and did photography on the side, viewing it more as a pipe dream than an alternative full-time job. I’m now a full-time wedding photographer, and I love it!

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next, you can tell us a bit more about your business?
I’m a wedding and couples photographer based in Savannah, GA but serving Charleston and Hilton Head couples as well. I specialize in shooting weddings but also love engagement sessions, couples, maternity, and branding sessions.

I shoot film and digital photography and edit my images to have a filmy, dreamy and timeless aesthetic. I love spending my time with couples in love and preserving such special moments for them.

Networking and finding a mentor can have a positive impact on one’s life and career. Any advice?
I’ve had great success with connecting with other local photographers via Instagram. When I first moved here, I didn’t know anyone other than my husband, but the photography community was very welcoming, and I’m so thankful for that.
