Megan + Andrew {Charleston Engagement}

Pin It

In case you hadn’t heard, just last month Charleston took home the Conde Nast Reader’s Choice Award as “The Top City in the United States.” Not bad, eh? Thanks to the relaxing salt water breeze, cuisine worthy of breaking out your ‘fat pants’, the genteel locals and a culture rich in Southern history and values, it’s no wonder brides flock to the Holy City to say their ‘I do’s.’ I mean, could you ask for a better wedding backdrop? Well, historic downtown Charleston makes for a pretty perfect engagement session, too. Just ask today’s Lowcountry couple, Megan + Andrew. They spent a summer afternoon with Charleston photographer Monica Day as they explored quaint alleys, charming cobblestone roads and the beautiful Waterfront Park. It’s everything I love about Charleston…

Charleston Engagement {Susannah + Gardner}

Recently, I was trying to explain to someone why so many people are drawn to Charleston. I was attempting to describe what the scenery was like, the laid-back personality of the locals, the delicious lowcountry cuisine and just the whole coastal lifestyle in general. The thing is, you can’t really appreciate Charleston and truly understand it until you’ve been here and then, once you’ve visited, it will forever hold a special little place in your heart. I about died when I saw this engagement session from Charleston photographer Monica Day. I’m pretty sure I could post all of these images, not write a single word and just about everyone would know exactly where the photos were taken…am I right? This darling, young couple, Susannah + Gardner, enjoyed a beautiful June day exploring everyone’s favorite Lowcountry city. Their attire perfectly matched the setting and Susannah stunned in her classic, lace dress. From the cobblestone streets to the secluded alleyways to the views of the Charleston Harbor, nothing compares to Downtown Charleston.
