Katryna & Martin's Engagement Portraits

Saturday we had an awesome time with Katryna and Martin taking their engagement portraits at Falls Park in Greenville. The park was swamped! There was a wedding at the Wyche, prom couples everywhere and families enjoying the nice weather. Fortunately, we had some "out of the way" spots in mind so we could avoid the crowds until the people thinned out.

This neat little spot is tucked away from all the crowds and you
wouldn't even know their was a wedding reception 20 yards away.

Grrrrr Baby!

Sometimes crowds can make for an interesting shot.

Apparently, Martin is quite the dancer and Katryna did a great job
keeping up. Of course we looked like doofuses trying to give them a
few dance directions when we're not dancers in the least. We also
found out they're having Orange Krush play at their reception
(YEAH!) so they'll have plenty of opportunities to wow their
guests with their moves!

Celerie & Clyde's Engagement Portraits

Although we haven't made a post in a while, we sure have been keeping busy with a ton of portrait sessions and moving our gallery to its shiny new location. We've had a few awesome bridal portrait sessions but of course we can't show off those just yet.

Last week we had a great time getting to know Celerie and Clyde at their engagement shoot at the Botanical Gardens in Clemson, SC. They came all the way from Atlanta for a little romance in the gardens.

When we first started, we just said "Sit on the bench" and they took it from there. They seemed to forget we were around and just enjoyed each other's company. Their jobs keep them so busy they don't get to see much of each other so this was the perfect chance to reconnect. We love that engagement portraits give couples a chance to have some quality time together in the midst of all the planning. Hopefully you guys will find some time to relax and enjoy your engagement a little more before the wedding. September will be here before you know it!

Katie & Andrew's Engagement Portraits

This weekend, Katie came to town all the way from Chicago, so we got together with her and her fiance, Andrew, for their Engagement Portraits at Furman University. They met while going to school there so it was the perfect place to capture their love for each other. We give Katie a lot of credit since she is planning their Greenville wedding all the way from Chicago. Not to mention going to grad school and dealing with the long distance relationship (Andrew lives in North Carolina). We had to do the long distance thing ourselves long ago and it's no picnic.

Katie and Andrew are natural performers being a singer and a musician, respectively, so they were great in front of the camera. We love it when couples can just relax and pretend were not there. That's when we really capture the emotions.

We wanted to do something a little different, a little sexy and when
we asked if they were up for it, Katie gave an enthusiastic "Yeah"!

Every couple does a little booty grab now and then.
