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…

I met up with Dawn + Joey in February for their beautiful engagement session here in Charleston.

I am totally OBSESSED with the photos of them walking together (below) because […]
Audra + Rahul’s beautiful traditional Indian wedding in Charleston was definitely one for the books. I absolutely LOVE everything about South Asian/Indian weddings… the colors, the attire, the music, the food, the traditions, the rituals, the family element, the dancing. There really is nothing like it and if I could specialize in shooting only South […]
From the very first time I spoke with Martha Camille, I knew that her Boone Hall wedding was going to be EPIC. I also knew that she was going to be a dream client for me – and she absolutely was! I love all of my couples, but it’s so extra special when someone has […]
When Martha Camille told me that she wanted to recreate her mother’s studio bridal portraits, I’ll admit… I was a little hesitant. I’ve never done studio bridal portraits before and I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to bring her vision to life. As a creative, I love doing things that are outside of […]
2023 was definitely one of the best years yet for my business. I had the honor of working with so many fabulous couples, in so many fabulous locations… including Spain, Italy, and Hawaii!
