Southern plantation engagement session in lowcountry, South Carolina

Meet Kelly and Crayton! Their southern plantation engagement session was a photographer's dream. The grounds were drippng in morning sunlight, spanish moss, exposed brick, oyster shells, marsh, and sandy roads. We struck gold with this one!Southern plantation engagement session_0202.jpgSouthern plantation engagement session_0203.jpgSouthern plantation engagement session_0204.jpgCrayton was telling us all about how he met Kelly. He asked her to dance, and she said NO! So he waited a little while longer, and he asked her again and she said.... NO! Haha! She didn't like the music! I'd say they found their song though.Southern plantation engagement session_0205.jpgSouthern plantation engagement session_0206.jpgSouthern plantation engagement session_0207.jpgSouthern plantation engagement session_0208.jpgWhen Kelly and Crayton were planning their wedding location, they knew they wanted it to have a southern wedding feel, but problem is, they don't live in the lowcountry, so they'd miss out on the spanish moss and plantation homes! Augusta's Old Medical College came to save the day! It's a hidden gem plantation venue and these two are going to bring all the southern charm!Southern plantation engagement session_0209.jpgSouthern plantation engagement session_0210.jpgSouthern plantation engagement session_0211.jpgSeriously how beautiful is Kelly? I am so happy that she found me on none other than INSTAGRAM! Don't give up on hashtags, photographers. It works!Southern plantation engagement session_0212.jpgLeanne grabbed some behind the scenes from me. My camera strap serves literally zero purpose when I do things like this. Also blogging my camera bag soon... it's $40! Southern plantation engagement session_0213.jpgCleaning dresses, and it looks like maybe telling them to wave their arms around like snakes......? Behind the scenes photos can be inexplainable!Southern plantation engagement session_0215.jpgSouthern plantation engagement session_0214.jpgSouthern plantation engagement session_0217.jpgSouthern plantation engagement session_0220.jpgSouthern plantation engagement session_0216.jpgMe shooting that last shot.
