Charleston Engagement at Magnolia Plantation & Downtown | Marisa & Jimmy
“Last August, I spent the afternoon with Marisa & Jimmy wandering through Magnolia Plantation & Gardens, one of the most breathtaking spots in Charleston. We walked a few of the shaded trails, explored some of the bridges, and even visited the area where they’d later say “I do.” After that, we headed downtown to soak in the charm of cobblestone streets, Rainbow Row, and those classic Charleston backdrops that make this city feel timeless. Their wedding would come just a few months later, but this day was all about the quiet moments leading up to it. It was warm, romantic, and filled with everything I love about…”

Romantic Downtown Greenville, SC Engagement | Emma & Wilson
“Emma and Wilson’s love story is the kind that feels meant to be—playful, unexpected, and so romantic. Their Downtown Greenville engagement session began and ended at the Westin Poinsett, the very place where they’ll say “I do” later this year. In between, we made our way to Neat Bourbon Bar, the spot where fate (and a little friendly competition) first brought them together. Wilson was playing a game with his friends that required him to get a stranger to tie his shoe—so he walked up to Emma. They struck up a conversation, shared a few laughs, and before she knew it, she was helping him complete the challenge. That small moment led to something so much bigger…”

Intimate Downtown Charleston, SC Engagement | Mark & Jaclyn
”Mark and I first connected during my stent as a travel nurse in Boston. On our first date, he asked me how long I planned on traveling for, to which I replied, ‘until I figure out where home is!’.
Not even five minutes after parting ways that same day, I sent a text out to my family and best friends saying ‘I found my husband!!!’, and boy was I right. Turns out, home is right by his side, and we’ve been together ever since. I’m so lucky to have not only found the greatest love of my life, but also to have gained the most supportive, and fun best friend. I’m looking forward to a lifetime of last minute trips, bike rides, speakeasies, dancing, trying new restaurants, laughter, and long lasting memories.”

Downtown Greenville, SC Engagement (Ken & Stephanie)
“‘Ma’am, you have to be 21 to enter the club. We’re going to have to ask you to leave,’ said the host of a Las Vegas club. Ken and I were in Vegas for a NSBE conference in spring 2009 while in college at the University of South Carolina. Since we both were under 21, we had to take the walk of shame back to our hotel while our friends got to party. I thought during the walk home he’d be blown away by my dashing looks and we’d start talking, but he…”

Bald Rock | Cleveland, SC Engagement (Evan & Hannah)
“Hannah and I first found each other at the coffee shop I was managing. I say found, because the meeting didn’t come for a while. Hannah’s little sister, Hayley, worked with me at the coffee shop. I remember one of the first conversations we had, which was about how excited she was that her sister was finally coming home for the summer.
After Hannah returned from her mission trip, she walked in with her bright blonde highlights, shorts, and a pink t-shirt. Now, I don’t know what love at first sight is or if it even exists; I think love is enduring and can’t be decided in a moment. However, what I can tell you is that the moment I saw Hannah, I knew I would easily fall in love with her if I wasn’t careful. She has a certain…”

Charlotte, NC Engagement (Wes & Camilla)
“It all started when we both swiped right. After getting to know each other on the League, Wes asked me on our first date to Merchant & Trade, a rooftop bar in uptown Charlotte. I was excited he picked somewhere new and cool to try with beautiful views. Sure enough, Merchant & Trade didn’t disappoint, and neither did Wes. We talked for hours effortlessly on our first date over craft cocktails. The connection was there right from the beginning, and we both knew we wanted…”
