A Story Driven Wedding and Portrait Photographer in South Carolina and North Carolina

There’s something powerful about a story told gently.

I’m Kristen but most know me as Krissy. I’m the heart, eyes, and storyteller behind Golden Clover Photography. I photograph weddings and portraits across South Carolina, North Carolina, and wherever the story wants to take us.

I believe the most meaningful portraits aren’t forced or overly posed. They live in the in-between – the laugh you didn’t plan, the way your hands find each other, the quiet pause before everything changes. Those are the moments that linger long after the day is over and those are the moments I chase.

Golden Clover Photography was created for people who want their photos to feel something – not just look pretty.

Photography Rooted In Story, Light, and Feeling

I photograph the way memories are made – layered, emotional, and full of movement.

My style blends bold, dreamy edits, warm tones, and intentional storytelling. I’ll gently guide you when needed, but I do leave room for real connection to unfold naturally. The result? Images that feel alive – photographs that don’t just show what your day looked like, but what it felt like to live it.

Whether I’m documenting a golden-hour wedding day, a micro wedding filled with quiet intention, or a creative portrait session inspired by your story, my goal stays the same :

To preserve your moments in a way that feels honest, artful, and entirely you.

A Calm Creative Experience (Even if you hate being photographed)

Almost every client tells me the same thing : “I’m awkward in front of the camera.”

And almost every client leaves saying “That was actually fun.”

• You don’t need to know how to pose.
• You don’t need to be perfect.
• You don’t need to perform.

I’ll guide you when needed and step back when the moment matters most. My role is to create space – for emotion, movement, and connection – so your experience feels effortless and your images feel real.

This is especially true on wedding days, where calm energy and thoughtful timelines make all the difference.

Weddings That Feel Like You

I’m drawn to weddings that feel intentional – micro weddings, intimate celebrations, backyard ceremonies, and days centered around connection rather than expectation.

Weddings don’t have to be rushed or rigid to be meaningful. Some of the most emotional moments happen when there’s room to breathe, laugh, and simply be present.

As a wedding photographer in South Carolina and North Carolina, I help couples build timelines that protect the moments that matter most – especially golden hour, when everything softens and the day slows down just enough.

Portraits That Capture a Season Of Life

Portrait sessions with Golden Clover Photography are not only relaxed, but also natural and rooted in storytelling. Whether its a family session, couples session, maternity session, seniors session or even just a fun concept or something fun from my bucket list – every season carries it’s own magic.

My approach to portraits focuses on :

• Connection over perfection
• Movement and prompting over stiff posing
• Emotion over expectation

So your portraits feel like memories, not just another photoshoot.

Who This Experience is For

• Value emotion over perfection
• Want photos that feel natural
• Care about experience just as much as the portraits
• Are drawn to warmth, movement, and storytelling
• Wants a photographer that isn’t just saying “cheese” but guiding you into portraits that will feel like art
