Summer in the low country
Elena and I found each other through a mutual photography group! I was so excited when I saw Elena's post asking about a photographer for the Charleston area as Charleston is one of my bucket list cities to visit, but also to photograph in - can't imagine why! Beautiful colors, greenery and it's architecture. We jumped on a zoom call to discuss the nature's of our husbands and photo taking, but otherwise we felt it was a match!
With it only being a 4.5 hour drive from Atlanta, I made it a weekend get away. I stayed near by and did a little sight seeing the day of our session. Breakfast at Millers All Day followed by some walking around the city. Next, I made my way to The Boone Farm Plantation to do additional sight seeing and get a history lesson.
That evening I finally met up with Elena and Andrew as we started on Rainbow Row and made our way through the alley ways of Charleston. It sure was hot, but we did it! Photographing another photographer can be a little nerve-wrecking, but we both quickly warmed up (no help to the temperature). Elena and Andrew are just the cutest! Elena is a wedding photographer in Tennessee, but really hadn't ever had portraits taken with her husband! Crazy, right? I am so grateful she trusted me to capture their love! My favorite was watching them get more comfortable and get into some of the silly things I had them do! Cuddling amongst the crape myrtles when it is 90 degrees outside, isn't exactly natural, but they did amazing! I even snuck in some portraits of Elena at the end at the Mills House Hotel.
I am just as obsessed with their photos as I am the city of Charleston! Beautiful trip, beautiful photos, couldn't have asked for a better couple to photograph an unknown territory in!
