I love when my clients trust my posing methods and my location suggestions! I push myself to try new things every time I photograph a session in a location that I’ve been to many times before, such as South Wind Ranch!

Photographing Max and Julie’s engagement session earlier this year at the South Wind Ranch was a dream! This is also the venue they will be getting married at this weekend! Julie and Max met at Clemson University while on the club rowing team. They have been engaged for 4.5 years, so I know they are excited to tie the knot! Max proposed to Julie while they were at Lake Somerville State Park. They were eating lunch overlooking the march and watching two bald eagles. Max got down on one knee and proposed; the rest is history! Their favorite date night is staying in or going to their favorite Mexican restaurant and going for ice cream. Earlier this year, before their engagement session, I was lucky enough to spend time with Julie and her mom when I photographed her bridal portraits. Stay tuned for those next week!

Their Engagement Session

Max and Julie are full of joy. Max and Julie are full of joy and laughter. We had so much fun at their session! On the day of their session, the forecast changed to cloudy all day. As luck would have it, the sun peered through the clouds right when we got to the top of the hill for some mountain view photos. We were going double time trying to get in all their poses since the light was too good to be true and the sun was going down! At the end, there was the prettiest multi-colored sky, and colors glowed through the trees; it was a fantastic surprise!

I can’t wait for your wedding day, Max and Julie! Thank you for trusting me throughout your wedding photographer journey. See you at the altar!

I would love to chat about your 2023 wedding!
