Engagement

Engagement Session at the Ivy Place - Indian Land, SC by Kelli Conley

Kristin and Steve are hilarious and so sweet together! Kristin contacted me after booking her October wedding at The Ivy Place, and when working to set up a time to meet with her I discovered she is currently residing in the Dominican! She hadn't even been present when booking the venue, her parents skyped her in so she could see it and fell in love! After figuring out that the phone would be our best option we instantly clicked and scheduled their engagement session when they were in town for Christmas! Of course the day we picked ended up with a high of about 30 degrees with winds at about 30 mph, causing us to all freeze… but Kristin and Steve toughed it out, enjoying keeping each other warm And even though Steve tried to warn me that he was the world's worst at taking pictures, he warmed up to the camera right away and told me that he actually had a very pleasant experience! So I say that was a job well done! I can't wait to reveal what their gorgeous wedding will look like in October!! IMG_7891

Stephanie & Boris: Engaged! by Kelli Conley

We have had a crazy busy October! Which has been great, as that is our favorite month of the year!  Stephanie had contacted me back in September to take some pictures for her and Boris' wedding announcement. They are getting married in Germany in December, and she wanted to have some fun pictures of the two of them, as well as recreate the moment when Boris proposed! These two were so much fun to work with, and I can't wait to see what their wedding in Germany looks like!

Riley & Craig: Engaged {South Carolina Engagement Photographer} by Kelli Conley

Riley and Craig are the sweetest couple! After talking with Riley, she decided on the location being a family member's land out in Richburg, SC which is where her family grew up. Upon arriving her family was super excited and her mom gave me a tour of everything so I could pick out the best spots to shoot. We all had a blast running from location to location! Even Riley's dog Bruester made the trip and was able to sneak in a couple of photos! Me being the dog lover that I am, absolutely loved having him along! Then we headed down to downtown Richburg and had to snap a few pictures in front of the shop that Riley's grandfather used to own. It was such a neat experience to be in a place that had such a history to their family. Riley & Craig will be getting married in Charleston sometime next year; and I know Riley will make one gorgeous bride!

Justin & Renee: Anne Springs Close Greenway Engagement Session - Fort Mill, SC by Kelli Conley

Justin and Renee are sooo cute together! We set up their engagement session at the Anne Springs Close Greenway Field Trail Barn, which is where their wedding will be held next year. They wanted to set it up for the end of April so they could see what the venue would be like a year from now when they are walking down the aisle. The whole week had been beautiful blue skys, but as they were driving down Renee called me and said it was storming in Charlotte and wanted to see if we should reschedule. Knowing the weather here I said lets meet up anyway because even if it does rain we may be able to get some shots dancing in the rain and usually after about 10 minutes or so the rain is gone. So as we both pulled up to the barn it started to get really windy and then sprinkled pretty hard. We decided to sit it out for a couple minutes and see what would happen. During that time I got to know Justin and Renee a little more and was able to see just how much I was going to love them, and taking their pictures! Then wouldn't you know it, the clouds disappeared and the sun came out. It was amazing and we were able to capture some great images of the two with a beautiful sky and gorgeous sunset.  I can't wait to see the awesome things these two have in store for their wedding next April!
