This weekend, we drove down to Charleston, South Carolina for a weekend of photographing, exploring, and amazing southern food! We stayed right in the heart of the city, photographed a surprise proposal, an engagement session, explored the Farmer’s Market, and fell completely in love with the horse drawn carriages + cobblestone streets!
I’ve been dreaming of returning every since Curtis & Blakely’s Charleston Engagement Pictures earlier this year! So we loaded up Maddie’s car and zipped down I-95 until we hit the Low Country. It was incredible to photograph not one, but TWO, sweet couples during our visit to the South and I can’t wait to return again in March for a Photographer’s Retreat!
Sarah & Ryan’s Engagement | Goucher College
The night before we left for Charleston, I photographed Sarah & Ryan’s Engagement Session at Goucher College in Towson! These two are downright adorable together and I can’t wait to share more on the blog tomorrow!
Megan & John’s Proposal | Charleston Waterfront
We arrived shortly before 3pm on Friday in Charleston and kicked off our weekend with one of the most joyful proposals I’ve ever witnessed. Megan and John took her beloved pup Cooper for a walk before dinner… And little did she know that there was a diamond ring in his pocket! He surprised her by hiring me to capture the entire thing and photograph their engagement pictures afterwards! Ah! I can’t wait to share more of this incredible couple on Wednesday!
Crystal & Will’s Engagement | Charleston + Charles Town Landing
On Saturday, I met with Crystal and Will in downtown Charleston for their Engagement Session! We discoverd so many incredible little spots in town before zipping down the road to a gorgeous park filled with Spanish Moss. Oh my goodness. In the words of a true Southerner… Y’all are in for a treat!
It looks like a great weekend. I can’t wait to see more!
Looks like you had an amazing trip with some amazing couples!
So gorgeous! Looks like a great weekend away. Charleston is one of my favorite places!
I’ve been dying to go to Charleston, it just looks amazing. I can’t wait to see more from those two sessions, and I love the one from Goucher too! Her hair is beautiful and I love a dude with a beard and man-bun! I can’t wait to see more!
So fun! I love Charleston and you totally did it justice with these photos!
One of my favorite cities in America!! All of these are so gorgeous!! I’m so glad the three of you got to go together.
Charleston is at the top of my must visit in the US list! Love this update and your instagrams this last weekend too 🙂
Wow- such gorgeous couples! Sounds like you had an amazing weekend!
Gorgeous shots! Goucher is my alma mater, too!
Stunning!!!!! You are my inspiration always! 🙂
Looks like it’s going to be another “Natalie Franke” week. I found that in the thesaurus as a synonym for awesome, just thought you should know! Great work as always! And Charleston is wedding photography mecca, is it not?
What a great weekend! Charleston is on my bucket list!
