Engagement

Sunflower Engagement Photographer | Sarah & Todd | yah Photography by Kelli Conley

I cannot believe my bestest, best friend in the whole wide world is getting married!! It seems like just yesterday we were meeting for the first time in the 8th grade and have been inseparable ever since. That is until I moved across the country to South Carolina while Sarah was still in California. But distance makes the heart grow fonder and Sarah and I have the kind of friendship where when we see each other it’s as if it was yesterday, even though it may have been a year. That is one of the things that I absolutely love about her. So when she first introduced me to Todd I felt that same way with him and every time since. So it was just natural when they came out here to see me and have their engagement session in the sunflowers… and you can tell that in their pictures! I am so honored to be able to be in Sarah’s wedding in California in October and I honestly can’t wait to see how beautiful my best friend is as a bride!!! 2014-07-22_0002.jpg 2014-07-22_0001.jpg 2014-07-22_0006.jpg 2014-07-22_0012.jpg 2014-07-22_0011.jpg 2014-07-22_0009.jpg 2014-07-22_0010.jpg

Peach Tree Engagement Photographer | Fort Mill, SC | Brittany & Jeff by Kelli Conley

I was so excited to hear that Jeff had proposed to Brittany! I had known Jeff for a couple years and knew it was only a matter of time before he popped the question. And when I met Brittany I knew that her and I would immediately become friends! These two are so sweet together and couldn't be nicer people. Plus Jeff and his brother have their own brewing company called Free Range Brewery which has also been a huge part of both of their lives the past few years as they have been working to get it off the ground. Brittany has been by Jeff's side the whole time and couldn't be a more supportive fiance'.  Their wedding is taking place in Asheville but they wanted pictures here locally that showed their love to being outside and nature. 2015-06-17_0011.jpg2015-06-17_0012.jpg 2015-06-17_0013.jpg 2015-06-17_0014.jpg 2015-06-17_0015.jpg 2015-06-17_0016.jpg 2015-06-18_0001.jpg 2015-06-18_0002.jpg 2015-06-18_0003.jpg

The Ivy Place Wedding Photographer | Meghan & Eric Engagement Session | yah Photography by Kelli Conley

Meghan and Eric are troopers! Not only was it almost 100% humidity and 90 degrees the day we did their engagement session, but their wedding venue actually contacted them to tell them they would no longer be doing weddings there. Upon talking with co-workers and friends they stumbled upon The Ivy Place and fell in love with it and booked it for their wedding venue. I absolutely love shooting at The Ivy Place and was excited that Eric had agreed to incorporate their dogs into the session. Meghan’s mom even volunteered to come and watch after the pups as we finished their session. I told Meghan that the two of them must take a ton of photos because they were both amazing in front of the camera. I know that their November wedding at The Ivy Place is going to be beautiful and who knows, we may even see the dogs again that day? 2014-06-16_0032 2014-06-16_0033 2014-06-16_0035 2014-06-16_00342014-06-16_00372014-06-16_0038 2014-06-16_0039 2014-06-16_0036

Southend Engagement Photographer | Charlotte, NC | Jordan and Rob | yah Photography by Kelli Conley

Jordan and Rob loved to go to The Liberty in Southend, and had gone on many dates there. So what better place to start their engagement session?! The two of them also used to live around the area, so we wandered around Southend and made sure to stop by their first home together as well as get some views of the city. The two of them were a blast to hang out with and I know their wedding at Providence Country Club will be amazing! 2014-04-20_0001 2014-04-20_0002 2014-04-20_0003 2014-04-20_0004 2014-04-20_0005 2014-04-20_0006 2014-04-20_0007 2014-04-20_0008
