Real Weddings, Advice, & Inspiration

Catalyst Wedding Company highlights weddings by and for game-changers. We seek to amplify and empower voices and viewpoints that are usually missing from the Wedding Industrial Complex. We're a community of badass wedding professionals who love all things funky, fresh, diverse, unique, and personality-driven; we convene twice yearly for (un)convention, a collaborative workshop, styled shoot, and dinner party. We're also the publishers of Catalyst Wedding Mag, a resource for couples looking for inspiration and affirmation that doing things differently in wedding-world is not only ok, it's wonderful!

Photographed in South Carolina by Jessica Hunt, this styled Indian bridal session features a friend of Jessica's as the model. These two gowns were handmade by an Indian street vendor who knows the model's mom, and all of the jewelry is authentic Indian decorative wear and was collected by the model's family.

JESSICA HUNT PHOTOGRAPHY

I’m a big dreamer and a lover of all things coffee, purple, and photography-related. Oh, and I’m a Columbia South Carolina wedding photographer serving wedding photography collections in South Carolina and worldwide. I’ve been shooting weddings professionally for seven years, and this job is my DREAM job.

Ever since I got my first little point and shoot camera at the age of 16, I've been in love with capturing moments we can never get back.

Now, I shoot 20-25 South Carolina and destination weddings annually, and let me just tell you, I feel like I’m living the DREAM. And, really, I AM living my dream. Working as a professional artist and wedding photographer has been my dream since I was 17, and I’m still humbled to this day that THIS incredible job, is what I do.

My little family consists of one pup and two cats; I get along better with my furry friends than humans some days! I love to read novels and am always game for good movie. Oh, and also ALWAYS down for a craft beer from the tap!
