Downtown Winter Engagement Session

I was so excited when Brieann and Matt asked to schedule a downtown, winter engagement session!  Though they will have a Columbia, SC wedding, we planned their engagement session for about 30 minutes away in Downtown Newberry, SC. Brieann graduated from Newberry College and they wanted a downtown feel, so the location was ideal. The Christmas trees and the lights on Main Street near the Opera House made for the PERFECT backdrop for an engagement session!

We met at Wells Japanese Garden for some photos with their adorable Corgi. He was not feeling the photos for the most part, but we still included him in as many as he would have! Thank goodness for cool weather and helpers when your pet needs to take a break during the rest of the photos!

As the sun set and the garden got darker, we headed into Downtown Newberry for the rest of their session. Let me just say, I LOVE downtown settings for sessions because of the lights, architecture, and unique industrial features found in most every downtown. Newberry’s and Columbia’s Main Streets are no exception to this rule.

Like my about page says, I love to have a lot of laughter in my sessions, and these images are an example of the cuteness that happens after one of my cheesy jokes.

Clearly, the light in town was BEYOND gorgeous (this is why I always schedule for a particular time of evening and don’t like to stray far from those times), but as the sun set even more, we headed towards the Main Street Lights. This is where the magic really happened (in my humble opinion)!

Brieann and Matt, thank you so much for coming to Newberry, SC for your engagement session! I am SO EXCITED for your Fall wedding in Columbia, SC next October!

Happy anniversary to one of the most beautiful wed Happy anniversary to one of the most beautiful weddings I’ve ever photographed … yes I’m a maximalist on the inside, and there’s no such thing as too many florals!
Something about a sunrise session just has a diffe Something about a sunrise session just has a different kind of magic. I loved spending the morning with Therese and Nate on this perfectly sunny, vibrant morning…and I’m pretty sure they loved the singing and history facts from Hamilton that I provided. (YOU try photographing all this without singing, “I raised funds in DC for the Washington Monument {she tells my stooorryyy}”…if you know Hamilton the musical, there’s no way you can just FYI).
This time of year, even though it feels like a sau This time of year, even though it feels like a sauna outside, I just adore the lushness of the colors around us. This is when you can truly see all the different landscapes our beautiful state provides…and there’s no better place for that than at SC Botanical Gardens! I’m absolutely drooling over all of the color and sunlight from this amazing family session a few days ago!

Every single vendor — not to mention the fantastic family and friends who crossed the Atlantic — made for a perfectly incredible weekend, and I have no shortage photos to show for it!
