SARAH + STEPHEN - engagements at the Sesquicentennial Park

We love how diverse the Columbia area is. We're so fortunate to have so many great outdoor places all within 45 minutes from downtown Columbia. It gives us a great variety of places to work and shoot. As a photographer, all you have to do is look, talk to your clients, and try something new. We were so looking forward to our time with Sarah and Stephen, especially after Sarah suggested we go to the Sesquicentennial park (it's a mouthful for sure).  Full of pathways, weird Spanish style huts, and low hanging trees, there was so much to see. We hope you enjoy a few of our favorites. 

EMILEE + PRICE - engagement session Columbia, SC

Sometimes photographing couples for their engagement session is almost like working with old friends. And that's the way we like it. We had the great opportunity to photograph Emilee's brother's wedding a few years ago, so coming together for her wedding was almost like a fun reunion. Emilee and Price were so much fun together it made our time with them even better. We hope you enjoy some of our favorites! 

ASHLEY + THOMAS - engagement session at the barn

Horses and puppies and barns.  Just a few things that make an engagement session in the country so much fun. When we pulled up to the barn and saw Ashley's horse Tucker I literally did a double take at his eyes. They were wide open and steel blue. Then I immediately pulled my phone out to google "horse eye" to make sure of two things. #1 that I wasn't going crazy, and #2 that I hadn't been living a lie about how horses eyes looked. Turns out I'm not crazy (in this instance) and that I have not been living a lie (in regards to the aesthetics of a horse). 

RUBY + DIDAR - engagement session Downtown Columbia, SC : Columbia, SC wedding photographers

I think the only word to describe Ruby and D would be stunning.  We were so excited to work with them on their engagement photos, and visit some new spots Downtown. We hope you enjoy some of our favorites!

SHANNON + TIM - Anniversary session Downtown Columbia : SC Photographer

We love seeing our couples even after the big day. We can still remember Shannon and Tim's lovely wedding at Magnolia plantation. It was such a beautiful day, and they are such a fantastic couple. One of my favorite things from their day was that their ceremony was early in the morning! Now, we're not really morning people on the regular, but when we do get up early I love everything about the morning. The quiet, the way the light changes, and the way you get to see the world as if it were totally new. Since we were up early and shooting their group pictures we had the chance to use Magnolias huge wall of morning glories. Blue morning glories that opened up just for us. For their anniversary session I think we continued with the unique time and even unique light. Shooting with Shannon and Tim as the sun set on Main Street brought so much gorgeous warm light into their session. It took me back to the morning of their wedding. We hope you enjoy a few of our favorites!
