Looking for a Charleston engagement photographer?
Engagement sessions are usually one of your first photography experiences as a couple. During your Charleston engagement session, we will take photos in a place that is meaningful to you and will take a variety of fun and posed photos. An engagement session is a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera and get to know your wedding photographer and how they operate. It is also a great way for your photographer to get to know who you are as a couple! Some of my favorite Charleston engagement session spots are Downtown Charleston, Hampton Park, and Strawberry Chapel.
