Charleston Engagement Photographer

You just got engaged (or you're about to), and you want photos that actually look like the two of you, not stiff and posed like a stock photo. I photograph engagement sessions all over Charleston and the surrounding areas, downtown streets, the beach at golden hour, or wherever feels most like your story so far. If you're still planning the moment you pop the question, I can be there for that too, hanging back far enough to keep it a surprise.

I'm not big on forced smiles or awkward hand holding poses. I want the real laugh when you mess up a kiss, the look on his face when you're not paying attention, the inside jokes only you two get. Those are the photos you'll actually want framed on your wall.

Sneak peeks within days, full gallery in 2 to 6 weeks.
