Kyla & Jimmy in Charleston

We have really been getting around lately. Last weekend we headed down to Charleston, SC to meet up with Kyla and Jimmy for their engagement shoot. They got engaged last September on Sullivan's Island and we were thrilled to be able to photograph in the place where it all began! And Jimmy deserves a lot of credit for planning a very romantic and picturesque proposal. Kyla is the sister of one of our 2006 brides, and after seeing her as a bridesmaid on a couple occasions, we can't wait to see her as a BRIDE :)

The entire day was filled with good luck:

-The weather on Sunday was beautiful. You never would have known that torrential rain and tornadoes came through the day before.

-Despite the wonderful weather, the beach actually wasn't crowded. It felt like we had the sun and sand all to ourselves.

-The houses and streets by the Battery have so much character and we knew we wanted to capture some of it. Jimmy was our trailblazer and led the search in finding the perfect cobblestone street for us to use! And while we were searching, we found the neatest little alley with an ivy-covered wall. Sometimes the best spots are the ones you just stumble upon.









Gotta love that hair light!





















Sunset along the battery was beautiful.



Kyla & Jimmy,

Thank you for inviting us down to Charleston and giving us a tour of the house. We had so much fun and can't wait for your wedding!
