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…

There’s something undeniably magical about Charleston SC. The cobblestone alleyways, the historic charm, and the gentle breeze off of the water – which creates the perfect setting for love to flourish.

Hilton Head is a special place to Abby + Greyson, as Abby’s parents live there and she’s been visiting the area for years. I always love how the magic of Hilton Head and Sea Pines brings families together on such an incredible day. This September wedding day at Sea Pines started off with torrential rain […]
Somehow, it’s already February and I just realized that I haven’t posted my year-end recap from 2024. Yikes! Better late than never, I suppose! If I’m being totally honest and transparent, 2024 was a difficult year for me + my mindset. Self-doubt, not knowing where I “fit in”, feeling jealousy of other photographers, and not […]
