Emily & Ben’s Charleston Engagement

Historic Downtown Charleston has become a favorite tourist spot for good reason. It is an absolutely gorgeous, charming city! Ben and Emily have a lot of memories and special moments here, so there was no question about them having a Charleston engagement session. I'm convinced that light does something special near the SC coastline, and I've been practically drooling over these photos!

I was fortunate enough to meet Emily and Ben last year at a Great Gatsby-themed engagement party for another wedding couple of mine whose week-long wedding cruise I shot last summer, so I was super thrilled when these two booked me for their own wedding! It means so much to me for someone to witness all the behind-the-scenes work and still know they enjoy working with me!

Ben and Emily met a couple of years ago, and they both say that it was practically love at first sight. They knew they had found "the one" in each other within months of meeting, but they didn't rush their engagement. It wasn't until last September when Ben took Emily to Paris on vacation that he popped the question, and of course, Emily quickly said yes! Fortunately, wedding planning hasn't been too tricky thus far since they both knew that Charleston is the only perfect location to celebrate with family and friends. It goes without saying, I can't wait for their Charleston wedding next spring!

After an hour or so into their Charleston engagement session, Emily & Ben switched up their look for the second half of their session. I always encourage people to bring two outfits if they'd like to capture their casual sides as well as a more formal vibe; there's plenty of time for both during an engagement sesh!

After a champagne toast at the Marketplace Pavilion rooftop bar and watching the sunset over the Ravenel Bridge, this Charleston engagement session was a wrap!

I am SO glad we decided to detour over to Palm Spr I am SO glad we decided to detour over to Palm Springs on this work vacay. I never wanted to leave! ALLLLL the bright colors filled me with so much inspiration, and we have 3 days in San Diego next 🙌🏻 #californialove #palmsprings
When you’re just trying to pick blog post images When you’re just trying to pick blog post images but you want to share all 800 photos…I’m about to burst to share this wedding! On another note, someone remind me that my next house needs a fabulous staircase and massive windows like these at @agapaeoaksweddings 😍
Just helping my second shooter nail her settings b Just helping my second shooter nail her settings before I brought the bride down these gorgeous stairs...you know, being my usual sweet self 😊 99.9% of the photos I have of me look just like this: behind the scenes at a wedding or shoot, hair in a ponytail, apron full of film, wearing all black, and probably a little sweaty. It's not exactly the kind of photo that fits on my About page or profile pic!

I have a feeling I'm not the only entrepreneur with this problem. Since modern problems require modern solutions, I think it's time we self-employed folks started prioritizing yearly or twice-yearly updates of our products, services, and headshots! Check out my "About Face" highlights for the branding offerings I have for you! 

As for me, I'm putting my money where my mouth is, and currently packing 2 large suitcases full of way too many clothes for next week's trip to California, because I'm overdue my own branding and headshot photos, and I am excited to SHOW UP for ME the way I show up for everyone I serve. Keep an eye on my stories this weekend through next week for tons of prep, wardrobe decisions, behind the scenes setups of photoshoots with clients and ourselves, and of course, plenty of shenanigans (because two photographers on a creative trip is just about the most fun a person can have)! See you there!
Now that we’re a little more than halfway throug Now that we’re a little more than halfway through the slowest month of the year, how are your goals coming along? I’ve had some excellent discovery calls, and there are FAB branding sessions in the works! Keep an eye out for more behind the scenes from local artists and small businesses you may have never even heard of!
