Grace + Tyler // Charleston, South Carolina | Engagement Session around Historic Charleston
It’s Grace and Tyler’s Wedding Week!
In honor of my dear clients getting married this week, I wanted to share a few of my favorite images from their Summer Engagement Session in Downtown Charleston, SC.
We started our session on one of my favorite streets in Charleston. We met up on the corner of Church/Chalmers street and then I led them around to a few of my favorite spots that I think are quintessential Charleston - historic, romantic and charming.
We spent the first half of our time together exploring Downtown Charleston and then we headed over to the lovely Hampton Park. I love the way the light sets in this park. I am obsessed with shooting in the glowy, warm, sunset light. Check out those sunset photos! It always makes me giddy when the light shows off like that. Shooting in light like that is my happy place.
Happy Wedding week Grace + Tyler! I cannot wait to celebrate you this weekend and to continue to document this amazing season in your life.
Stay tuned for photos from their upcoming wedding at Cannon Green, coordinated by the incredible Jessica with Cruz Coordination. I am genuinely thrilled to have the opportunity to collaborate with such an extraordinary group of talented professionals, who also happen to be extraordinary human beings, as part of this remarkable team of wedding vendors. Their expertise, creativity, and dedication to their craft are truly unparalleled, and I am honored to have the chance to work alongside them and see everything come together for Grace + Tyler!

Mallory & Nate | Downtown Charleston Engagement | Charleston Wedding Photographer
Sometimes you meet one of those people that you just really click with. Mallory just happened to be one of those people. She and I met one day over lunch and we literally spent at least an hour chatting. Ever since then, I have been eagerly awaiting their engagement shoot. Mallory is such a sweet soul and Nate had an awesome, chill personality, so you can imagine that we had an easy-going and AMAZINGLY fun shoot! To top it off, the rain that day cleared just in time for our shoot, which made for a beautiful evening with some gorgeous golden sunlight (so Whimsey-licious)! Not to mention, Mallory looks absolutely stunning (don't you just love her long, wavy, red locks?!)! One of our favorite makeup artists ever, Pamela Lesch, did Mallory's makeup - she's incredible as you can see! I am beyond thrilled to shoot their wedding next year and am so honored to know this couple!
Laurie & Colin {Kiawah Island | Engagement}
I'm so excited to be sharing this lovely Kiawah Island engagment session with you all today! There's no better way to start out a Wednesday ;) Laurie & Colin met 5 years ago at a birthday party. Laurie had gone to the party as a guest of her sister, with absolutely no intention of meeting her future husband that night. But little did she know, she would. They ended up talking and mingling at the party, which led to a date just 3 days later! Isn't that usually how love happens though? I've had the opportunity to work with so many amazing people, Laurie and Colin included, and it seems that most of my clients' stories have one similar thread running through - when we are free to love and live our life, a lasting love shows up when we are not expecting it...at all.
These two love birds wanted to have their session on Kiawah Island, which was great, because I enjoyed exploring a destination that I don't normally get to shoot at. These guys were so fun and laid back, and I can't wait to work with them more!
Enjoy the loveliness!
