We are so excited for Nick and Grace's wedding. It's true :) We always tell our couples the reason we include an engagement session in our wedding packages, is because we want to get to know them. Truly. Those two hours when we get that couple all to ourselves, no distractions, just us... it's so important. It's our chance to really get a sense of not only who they are, but what kind of couple they are. We really strive to give each couple a unique set of photos. Sure we have our starting point. Our places of familiarity where we can create the beginnings of a relationship with them. Things we do with most of our couples, but it's those things we do that lead to the really great stuff. It's the same reason we don't provide props. If we did, everyone would have the same stinkin' photos. We learn if they are a cutesy couple, romantic, or just can't stop laughing with each other. We just loved getting to know Nick and Grace. Their session was actually at a boy scout camp that Nick came to growing up. It was fun for us not being the tour guide for once. Here are a few of our favorites from our time with them. Hope you enjoy!
Engagements
KELLI + GREG - engagement session in Prosperity, SC : Columbia, SC wedding photographers
With Kelli and Greg there was no question. Prosperity was it :) We loved working with them on their engagement session out on the farm. The antique tractor, hay bales, and beautiful skyline made the session fun and personal for them. We love being able to involve different props and elements. Any chance we get to do something different, we just get excited :) Here are just a few of our favorites from their session. We cannot wait for their wedding this coming June. It is going to be fabulous!
ELENA + YOUNG - engagements at the SC State Fair! : Columbia, SC wedding photographers
Engagement sessions are usually very calm, and often secluded. We generally go places where there is not much traffic or public presence. This was not the case with Elena and Young because we did their wedding at the SC State Fair! It was bustling with people. Families, couples, kids, everyone. It was so much fun to capture Elena and Young together with everything else happening around them. Being at the fair posed it's own set of challenges. Working through crowds, carnies, and traveling light which is different for us :) We loved working with Elena and Young, and had a great time with them at the fair. We hope you enjoy some of our favorites from their session!
JANET + JEFF - engagement session in Columbia, SC : Columbia, SC wedding photographers
Janet and Jeff are so sweet. It was so easy to have a good time with this couple because they have such a great time on their own. When talking with brides and grooms about planning their engagement sessions, we really like to incorporate things that are special or important to them. What was special about Janet and Jeff? Well, aside from their charming relationship, Jeff has a really awesome Harley. We had a nice time at the park, but then changed gears and did some really excited images with them and the bike. Check them out for yourself! We think you'll like 'em!
