Usually when I shoot a proposal, I have talked to the soon-to-be-groom several times, we have gotten all the details set, I have scoped out the perfect hiding place, etc. But this day, I met Taylor approximately 30 seconds before he proposed to Brooke. Here’s how it went down: Last weekend I had 2 sessions […]

I mean, when you find someone and they have named their dog the same thing that you named your dog, that has to be a good sign, right? Here they are: Brittany, Hogan, Apollo, and Apollo! Is that not just the sweetest?!?   These two met in Clemson and bonded over their Apollo dogs (obviously) […]

Michala and Nick. She is a medical student and he is a firefighter. A mutual friend met Nick and knew he and Michala should meet. But the trouble was that Michala was in the middle of studying for the all important first set of medical board exams, so she had to stay focused. BUT, she […]

Look. At. These. Two. I hardly need to say more! 🙂 When Lizzie said they wanted a mountain view for their engagement session, and suggested Chattooga Belle Farm, I was THRILLED! Any chance to go to up to Chattooga Belle is a worth it! And PSA for all you brides (and families!) out there, bringing […]

Any reason to go to Charleston is a good reason to go to Charleston! Kelli and Weaver live in Charleston and are getting married at Pretty Place later in the fall. When they asked me to come to Charleston for their engagement photos, I was thrilled. Gorgeous places to shoot are around every corner and […]

Holy reschedules, Batman! We started *trying* to plan Brian and Kayla’s engagement session back…you know…in late February. Right before Covid-19 was part of our daily vocabulary. Getting to actually get together for these photos was thwarted by weather, Covid, location closures, shelter in place, etc….but finally the Covid fog is starting to lift and we […]

It was the weekend of coffee-centered engagement sessions, and you know what? I am not mad about it! 🙂   Aleta and Lior live downtown and walked over to meet me outside Methodical Coffee, which happens to be where I first met Aleta several months ago. I left that meeting SUPER hoping she and Lior […]

Ann-Marie and Joe are getting married in a few weeks at Edinburgh West (can. not. wait!!) and we got to sneak in their engagement session this past weekend! Schedules can be crazy for everyone–especially when you are wedding planning–and especially when you live in different cities! I tell couples I am happy to do their […]

You meet some people and just click from the start. That was the case with Jules and Jesse. I am so thankful that some very dear mutual friends pointed them my way! When we were planning out their engagement session, Jules mentioned wanting to have a woody feel to some of their photos and also […]

My goal is to leave an engagement session feeling like I am genuinely friends with the couple. We chat, we laugh, we get to know each other, and at the end of it, if we had time and wanted to go grab dinner, that would feel fun and not weird! That is the goal. Well […]
