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…

For Jennie, Sea Pines has never been just a wedding destination – it’s home. Long before this day, she spent summers working in Harbour Town, learning its rhythms, its light, and the way life slows down just enough on Hilton Head Island. So when it came time to choose where she and Greg would get […]
Some places hold more than memories – they hold generations. For Madeline + Porter, Hilton Head wasn’t just a beautiful setting for their wedding day at Sea Pines Resort; it was part of their family story long before they ever said “I do.” With both of their parents having been married on Hilton Head and […]
Nine years of growing up together gives you a certain steadiness – the kind that doesn’t panic when plans unravel. That quiet confidence defined Walker + Addi Grace’s wedding day at Boone Hall, even as steady rain reshaped nearly every detail of their celebration. High school sweethearts who met as freshmen and now call Columbia, […]
Some wedding days unfold exactly as planned. Others ask you to let go, adapt, and trust what matters most. Lauren and Billy’s wedding at Sea Pines Resort in Hilton Head was very much the latter – and in many ways, that’s what made it so meaningful. Elegant, sophisticated, and deeply classic in style, their day […]
Mayzie + Hyrum’s intimate celebration at the Ocean Course on Kiawah gave me allllll of the Ralph Lauren vibes. When I look back at these images, I’m instantly transported – there’s something so Americana and nostalgic about the day, in the best possible way. Maybe it’s the classic blue hydrangea bouquet, effortlessly timeless. Maybe it’s […]
