While in college, Blakely & Curtis fell in love surrounded by the cobblestone streets and undeniable charm of Historic Charleston. It’s a romantic story.  Curtis working to win Blakely’s heart, a southern gentleman falling for a beautiful young artist. And even after growing up only miles apart in Maryland – it was in Charleston that their paths collided and Blakely realized that she had met the man that she was going to marry.
On Friday, Huey and I flew to South Carolina and spent the evening shooting in the city before ending their session on the beach in Mt. Pleasant. Everything about these two, their hospitality and kindness – the way they live + love life to the fullest – truly inspires me! I absolutely adore Blakley and Curtis and can’t wait to photograph their wedding this summer!
Blakely, Curtis, & Family – Thank you so much for flying us to Charleston! We love you all & can’t wait to see you in June!
