Reserve at Lake Keowee Engagement

Sheelah and Ryan are such a sweet couple, with insanely busy schedules. They're both physicians, and knew they'd need someone to handle their planning for them, which is how I met them after being introduced via one of the Greenville area's top wedding planning services, Upstate I Do, and I am so thankful for that introduction! Since the first conversation, we tossed around a lot of ideas for their engagement session, based off of their love of hiking, travel, and adventure. We quickly realized we couldn't fit everything into one day, so we started with their Reserve at Lake Keowee engagement session!

It was immediately clear how in love these two are and how well they complement each other. Ryan says, "our first date was at Coffee Underground, and she arrived late, hair wet, and all I noticed was how beautiful she looked." Excuse me while I swoon!

In retelling their proposal story, Ryan shared that the ring is extra special as it is passed down from his maternal grandmother. Ryan and Sheelah went hiking in the mountains, and he hid the ring in his backpack along with a photo album he had made containing pictures of the two of them together. He proposed once they got to the perfect spot overlooking a view of the Carolinas, and said he was so happy he could barely utter words!

On one of their first hiking dates, Sheelah and Ryan waded in the water next to a waterfall, so recreating that for their Lake Keowee engagement seemed the obvious thing to do!

How gorgeous is this ring? I think it's extra beautiful when special heirlooms are incorporated into current love story.

As always, Photovision Prints knocked this film processing out of the park! I had these scans back within a week of the session, and it has been difficult waiting to share them!

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!
