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!

A few previews from a very old Hollywood glam-esqu A few previews from a very old Hollywood glam-esque wedding earlier this month at the STUNNING @hotelhartness. @innseason florals, @fivefeathersevents planning, @upstateentertainment @cottonrougeandco and @professionalparty plus my associate team created a fantastic day!
I truly have no words for how amazing this wedding I truly have no words for how amazing this wedding was. I knew Jana at @tobey_events would create something spectacular, and I already knew from their engagement session that I adored Aubrie and Nate, but walking into their stunning wedding day at @thevenueatfallspark was more than I could have imagined. Kendra with @laurelcreekflorals created absolute magic. @uptown_entertainment made an incredible party with the kind of reception dancing photos we all hope for, and at the end of the day, Mr and Mrs Martin rode off into married life together! I cannot wait to share even more.
