A Botany Bay Engagement

Kelsey + Lance

I loved meeting Kelsey and Lance out at Botany Bay for their engagement session! It was the first time I’d ever been there, and it did NOT disappoint. The road leading up to the beach is a beautiful tree lined dirt road, and the beach is full of driftwood. While we were walking around, I asked about their proposal story. It was epic! They were hiking Machu Picchu, and Lance carried the ring all the way up. I was freaking out for him hearing the story! I can’t imagine going through the airport with a ring, let alone carrying it your whole trip and up a mountain! Lance said he was pretty nervous about it to :) My favorite part is that their guide filmed the proposal for them on his phone. I’m sure that’s a video they will cherish for forever! Kelsey and Lance, I can’t wait for your wedding this October!

A Charleston Engagement Session

Allie + Isiah

Allie and Isiah are set to move out of Charleston soon for his deployment orders. Before they left, they both agreed that getting engagement photos done in Charleston, where they met, was a must! I was so happy when Allie reached out to book a last minute session. Engagement photos are always special, but I love the little added bonus of it being where they met! I love thinking that as they start their new life together in a new city, they can have photos of Charleston hanging on their walls :)

I had so much fun meeting their pupper, Dash, and he had so much fun chasing the other dogs around the park. We got him to sit still for a few, though :) As we walked down the street with Isiah in his Navy uniform, a woman walked out of the shop she owned. She was oohing and ahhing over how sweet they looked, and she snapped a few photos on her iphone to send to me. Everyone in Charleston loves a little romance! Allie and Isiah, good luck on your new journey!
