Loved this light-hearted engagement session in historic downtown Charleston. These two New Yorkers brought their laughter, easy-going attitudes and an appreciation for each other that translated into effortless images.

A tight-knit group of family and friends came together to support and celebrate this couple for their wedding weekend on Kiawah. While their look is black tie luxe, their personalities are sunshine-warm with a family-first focus.

Engagement sessions are SO much more than engagement sessions. They are a double date with cameras. They are the easy peasy ice-breakers on a calm day rather than the BIG ice-breaker on the full day.

So many elements of uniqueness to appreciate in this wedding… gloves, cowgirl and cowboy hats, time pieces, sincere support, glow sticks, prayer with sacredness, party with playfulness and a loving inclusion of the elders and the little ones.
