I met up with Sarah + Logan, who came down from Charlotte, at the end of September for their sweet engagement session in historic downtown Charleston. On the most perfect fall evening, we spent time walking through my favorite neighborhood, South of Broad, and chatting all about their wedding plans. I love shooting engagement sessions with my couples. Not only is it a wonderful time to get to know each other, it also makes the wedding day a little less awkward since they have already met me. I highly recommend doing an engagement session if you or your partner are even a little bit nervous about having photos taken. It can make a big difference, for sure!
When I spoke with Sarah + Logan, they told me that they wanted a classic feel to their engagement photos – so the stunning architecture of Charleston, along with charming iron gates, gas lamps, and brick streets were the perfect backdrop for this session. As we walked together, Sarah + Logan chatted about their wedding plans, as well as what they are most excited for on their wedding day. And believe it or not, as we were strolling, we came upon the very house where they first met at a party! So random – and of course we had to take some photos there! I had the very best time with them and I’m already so excited for their wedding celebration coming up this April! Without further ado, here are some of my favorites from Sarah + Logan’s classic downtown Charleston engagement session…

There’s something so special about photographing a wedding that feels completely, authentically them. Ashley and Hannah’s wedding day at Magnolia Plantation was one of those days – full of laughter, meaning, and so much love. These two made the trip from Charlotte to celebrate their marriage surrounded by family, friends, and their sweet pup, Norman […]

Some weddings are more emotional than others and, for Sarah + Logan, this was especially true. After having to postpone their original wedding date abruptly due to a health scare, they said “I do!” just a year later – and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. They had waited a long time for […]

Lauren + James’ wedding day was one that won’t soon be forgotten. As a nod to their shared love of trying new restaurants, planner + designer extraordinaire, Allison Event Design, created a tented reception space with all of the restaurant-inspired details they love. A statement bar that wowwed guests, a mix of table sizes for […]

Becca + Stephen’s art deco inspired wedding at the American Theatre in downtown Charleston was one for the books! Their day was filled with so much love, joy, and thoughtfulness – I swear, the best weddings are always the ones that are centered around the couple and their family + friends. Sure, pretty details are […]

2025 got off to the very best start with Maggie + Britt! I absolutely ADORE these two and their wedding day was the perfect way to start the new year. Their shared love of the water and all of the natural beauty that the Lowcountry has to offer made the Regatta Inn a no-brainer choice […]

Payton + Connor’s rainy celebration at Lowndes Grove was the PERFECT way to close out the 2024 wedding season. When I first spoke with Payton, she told me that she envisioned a colorful wedding day – despite being married in late December. I LOVE that she went with bright florals and colors because it was […]
