So we've been to the Lace House, but never for an engagement session. It was such a fun time for us being able to explore and play a little more since no one was wearing a white dress :) Amy and Brandon were so cute and so much fun to photograph. The gardens at the Lace House were just perfect as we got a few trees blooming. Hope you enjoy some of our favorites!
Engagements
WIZZY + JOE - engagement session on the river : Columbia, SC wedding photographer
Wizzy, Joe, and Tank (the dog) all did such a great job. We loved working with Wizzy and Joe, and cannot wait for their wedding. It was such a beautiful day, and such a great way to kick off Spring!
CHRISTIE + STEVE - engagements in South End : Charlotte, NC Wedding Photographer
When we first met with Christie and Steve, it was really hard not to be overly excited about their engagement session ideas. Sometimes we just get so excited over talking about new ideas and places to photograph, it's true we can get a little nerdy. We loved how much Christie and Steve put into their session. From the cool wine shop Vin Masters (where Steve had to find the perfect bottle to pose with. It couldn't be just any red you know) to the adorable soda shop Pike's. We had a ball getting to know them, and photographing them in such great spaces. So looking forward to this couples wedding. Till then, enjoy a few of our favs!
CLAUDIA + RYAN - engagement session in the Vista : Columbia, SC wedding photographers
Want to know the secret to great engagement photos? It's simple and can be summed up into two words.
Let go.
Let go of all your worry, stress, and anxiety and enjoy that time with your photographer. If you can do that, you will absolutely nail it :) Be willing to have fun, try silly things, smile more than you feel is necessary, giggle more than you would normally, and stop thinking about everything you have to get done later that day. It's all about letting go and enjoying the moment.
So, now that you've had our engagement lesson, here is a session! Claudia and Ryan really had fun, really let go, and we think it showed.
STACY + CHRIS - engagements by the river : Columbia, SC wedding photographers
Just a few months ago, we had the great pleasure of photographing Stacy's older sister Janet at the beautiful Adam's Pond. We were so excited to hear from Stacy about her wedding! We had such a fun time, and can't wait to be part of their big day as well. Here are just a few of our favorites from their session.
