engagement shoot advice for brides Archives

Charleston is coming out of a finicky winter and starting to finally feel like itself. The start of Spring is always one of the nicest times of year here as everything is in bloom and local events start popping up. I was lucky enough to live on King Street in college, just around the corner from this gorgeous wisteria wall. I have ridden my bike past this wall and admired it for so many years but never stopped to actually document it before all the blooms fade. So this year I decided to make an effort and take some pictures to share. This wisteria wall is located on Meeting St. and is absolutely perfect for engagement photos. I actually joked with my friend (who I tricked into taking these pictures!) that if you’re planning an engagement in Charleston you should schedule it around these blooms!

I am wearing a simple outfit that would be perfect for Spring engagement photos. For engagement photos you always want to look like a polished version of yourself – but not too polished that you look like someone else. A crisp shirt paired with your favorite pair of jeans is the perfect outfit for relaxed photos around town. I actually found this shirt after I spotted my friend Christine of South of Libbie wearing it. I immediately had to snatch one up for myself and the lucky part is it is currently on sale! It also comes in this color which is equally as cute.

I am wearing my favorite new flats and the bag I take everywhere. I always recommend flats for engagement shoots as you actually spend a lot of time walking. If you really want to wear heels pack a pair of flats or flip flops to wear as you walk between photo spots.
