The session is catered to your comfort level, which can be in your man's dress shirt or sports jersey, your favorite piece of lingerie or whatever makes you feel ultra sexy. In a relaxed environment we can bring out your inner diva and create images that look like they belong on the cover of Maxim magazine. From your session we can create beautiful custom albums, prints and wall portraits.

Now for the Free part: we'll be giving away a free boudoir session to three lucky ladies! Just email us at info@kismetphotography.net and tell us why you would love to surprise your man with a gift he'll never forget.

All sessions will take place in a swanky hotel room in Greenville on Sunday, November 2nd, so you must be available that day. To make you look and feel extra sexy, we will also be providing a professional make-up artist to give you that sultry sizzle.

Katie & Matt's Engagement Portraits

We met up with Katie & Matt at Clemson, their alma mater, for their engagement portraits. The four of us hit up so many cool spots including the Tillman Hall area, the football stadium, and the botanical gardens. Even though we have shot at Clemson many times before, we found some new places that sparked our creativity. Katie and Matt were great in front of the camera and we had a lot of fun. Here's just a sampling of the funness.

Robin & Scott's Engagement Portraits

Robin and Scott came up from Columbia and met us at Robin's parent's house for their engagement portraits. Their backyard was like a park! There was so much greenery and lots of neat places to shoot. Not to mention that Robin grew up playing in it so it was really special to her.





Seriously, how many people have a mini-vineyard in their backyard?





Robin works with the South Carolina Philharmonic and plays classical bass. Scott on the other hand is a rocker whose had his own band and recorded work for other rockers. Opposites really do attract...and we had to capture that.







Robin & Scott,

You guys were a laugh a minute and we had fun "playing" in your backyard. It's always refreshing to shoot somewhere new and get the creative juices flowing. Thanks to you and your parents for your wonderful hospitality and we can't wait to see what fun and laughs your wedding day brings.

Sydney & Sam's Engagement Portraits

We had an awesome time with these two at the amazingly beautiful Cliffs at Keowee Vineyards recently. Not only did this place have some gorgeous buildings and landscaping, but we even found a beach! Sydney and Sam truly made the shoot great though because they are so comfortable with each other and just had fun with it.

Here are some of our favs.




























We can't wait for their wedding at the Cliffs of Falls South!

Kyla & Jimmy's Big, Fun Greek Wedding!

Forgive the horribly obvious movie reference but it does accurately describe our experience at Kyla and Jimmy's wedding. It was big, with over 300 people. It was Greek, from the beautiful ceremony at St. George's Greek Orthodox Church in Greenville to the Greek band, A Night in Athens, and the accompanying Greek dancing. And it was fun, really really fun. Mostly because Kyla and Jimmy are so much fun and also because it was a like big reunion for us with several of our past brides being in the wedding party.

Here are some of our favorites from the day with a few of Kyla's gorgeous bridals thrown in.












































Things started off pretty tame for their first dance but then they surprised everybody with some fancy footwork to the tune of "Fly me to the moon".


The ensuing look of surprise and joy from the parents.


One of several Greek dances that had us, and what seemed like the whole room, spinning in circles. One feisty lady even tried to get us to join in.


Kyla & Jimmy,

We have had so much fun with you guys, from Charleston to Clemson to your awesome Greek wedding. We don't want the ride to stop! But we are certainly glad that we got to share in all the excitement with you and we wish you many more years of excitement together. Thanks to you and your wonderful family and friends for making your big day such a great day for us.

Shanee & Kevin's Wedding

Shanee and Kevin's wedding was a pleasure to be at with family and friends who were all so nice to work with. They had a fun-filled reception at the Hilton in Greenville. Rita and her crew always do a wonderful job and their lobby is a great spot for some romantic images. Here are a few of our favorites from their big day.
























We love catching those sideways glances.


Love how you can see the smoke in this one.











The father-daughter dance had everything from tears to laughs.











Can you tell we were diggin' the dramatic reflections?!
