Sunset Engagement Photos in the coastal city of Charleston SC

Capturing this destination engagement session for Blaine + Angel in the fabulous coastal city of Downton Charleston, SC was the best way to start off 2021. After a year that I think we can all agree has been *worse than hard*, it was a breath of fresh air to just be out with them, to capture their love!

We started off our adventure for dinner and drinks at a local favorite, Taco Boy, before making our way downtown towards the open Charleston Market and famous church in the middle of town! The agenda: Explore as much of Charleston as we could before the sun went down!

A little about Blaine + Angel’s engagement (that was also destination in Savannah, Georgia!)

Engagement Story

“We had NEVER been on a trip alone together, only with friends and family, never just the two of us in the whole 5 years we have been together. So the fact that we somehow planned to do this trip and Blaine agreed to go to my favorite place (Savannah, GA) was crazy to me. I knew something was up!

He is a total beach person, which Savannah has a beach but its not the same! He likes to stay right on top of the beach and he was all about exploring downtown and doing anything I wanted to do. I knew something was up!

So we went out and did just that, we went bar hoping (he had to work up the nerve to ask me) and then decided to go get some greasy giant pizza slices before heading back to the hotel and after I finished mine he stopped and said lets just go sit in this little subdivision park!

I sat down on this bench and was just looking around at the beautiful park at night and there he did it! After we had our moment he could NOT wait to call his family and my family to tell them, even though it was like 1:30am.

It was a perfect night of just us having fun and exploring! My only regret is not having you there in the bushes hiding and taking pictures!!!”

I love this story because Blaine + Angel are true adventurers. They love exploring new and old places together, always ready to have fun and laugh with those they adore most! When I captured Angel’s sister’s wedding Taloni last year, Angel messaged me instantly when she was engaged soon after! There is nothing I love more than being able to serve the same families when the opportunity comes up because our couples become like family to us!

So running all over Charleston with these two just felt like a weekend away with friends! I hope you enjoy seeing some of my favorites from our time in Charleston this last month!
