Charleston Engagement Pictures | Jessie + Chris

We’ve been traveling all over lately, I love it!  Last weekend we made the trip to Charleston for Jessie and Chris’ engagement pictures.

Like Leslie, Jessie is one of my sorority sisters from college.  It’s so much fun to catch up with these sweet girls and meet their fiancés!

When we were first discussing where to do the engagement shoot, I mentioned the idea of a beach weekend.

They live in Orlando and we live in Atlanta, so it would be a chance for us all to relax and also work photos into the schedule.

Jessie suggested Charleston, where she and Chris met while in grad school.  With the city’s historical charm and lively beaches, it was the perfect fit!

Matthew and I had never been to Charleston before and were delighted to visit somewhere new.

In addition to Jessie and Chris, we spent the weekend with several of their friends from grad school.

Everyone helped out with showing us around town.  We ate at fabulous restaurants and even got to spend some time lounging at the beach.

When it was time for pictures, we started at Folly Beach, which was lovely and secluded (awesome combo for photos!)

After the beach we headed downtown, and as we were driving a huge storm was rolling in.

We waited out the really scary part and then scampered out of the car to take some romantic shots in the historic part of town.

Although the thunder was still rolling around us, the rain had slowed down to a light drizzle.

Jessie and Chris were such troopers and were downright excited to take pictures in the rain!

Jessie and Chris, thank you so much for being such gracious hosts and so much fun to be around!

We had an amazing time and hope to return to Charleston soon!

XOXO,
