Sometimes, I shoot engagement sessions super close to the wedding day. There’s really no “rule” when it comes to when we do an engagement session, and sometimes my couples just don’t have the time to do it before they arrive in town for their wedding! But it’s still a great idea to do an engagement session before the wedding day – even if it’s only 2 days before the wedding, like it was for Jess + Brad. It gives us time to get to know each other, explore some fun parts of town together, teach them all of my poses, and helps creates a level of comfort + confidence that will carry over to the wedding day.
You’ve probably already seen this gorgeous couple’s elegant Cannon Green wedding on the blog earlier this summer. Now it’s time to share their engagement session! I met up with Jess + Brad in the historic South of Broad neighborhood and it was incredible. The weather was perfect, the light was amazing, and these two… swoon! They were so natural in front of the camera! So without further ado, here are some of my favorites from Jess + Brad’s downtown Charleston engagement session…

Lauren + Matt are the embodiment of pure, unfiltered JOY. The way these two look at each other. The way they smile from ear to ear when they are next to each other. Absolute, contagious, electric joy. I truly feel so lucky to have been in the presence of their love. It’s a love that […]
In May, I headed to Atlanta for Lynsey + Tyler’s romantic wedding at Summerour Studio. I knew their wedding weekend was going to be special and it absolutely was! Their celebration started with a beautiful rehearsal dinner at the Peachtree Club, overlooking the city. It was so great to meet all of their VIP’s the […]
I first met Tori back in 2016 when I photographed her older sister Kiersten’s wedding. Little did I know then that I would go on to photograph their sister Chelsea’s wedding in 2021 – and finally Tori’s wedding in 2024! Legacy clients are so special and the Stolen family means so much to me. They […]
When I first spoke to Elizabeth last June, I knew that her wedding day was going to be something special. She spoke about getting married in her hometown of Beaufort SC – first, a sweet ceremony at her local church, followed by a tented waterfront celebration filled with bright colors and palm accents. Elizabeth wanted […]
