I met up with Sarah + Russell in mid-October for their sweet engagement session in downtown Charleston. When we first started talking about locations for their Charleston engagement session, Sarah mentioned that she wanted to go to the City Marina so that they could incorporate boats into their session. Russell grew up sailing in Annapolis, Maryland and knew that this was important to him. You know I was THRILLED to hear that because I absolutely love shooting on the water at the Marina. It’s one of my favorite places in all of Charleston!!
We had the most spectacular weather for their Charleston engagement session and started downtown South of Broad – stopping at some of my favorite places along the way.

Spending time with them made me so excited for their big day this summer – it’s going to be an amazing wedding, for sure. Here are some of my favorite images from Sarah + Russell’s downtown Charleston engagement session, featuring the City Marina…

Bridal portraits offer a rare pause in the wedding season – a moment to step away from timelines and celebrations and focus entirely on the bride herself.
