Traci & Lark's Engagement Portraits in Greenville, SC

We love it when couples come to us with ideas for their engagement portraits for two reasons. For one, it's usually something that is special to them and therefore the images will have more meaning for years to come. And two, it means they are going to be even more excited about the shoot since they had a hand in conceptualizing it.

Lark is a real foodie (of course it doesn't hurt that he works in the restaurant industry) and he personally knows the chef at the Westin Poinsett, where the wedding reception will be. So he thought it would be cool to do a little cooking action right in the hotel kitchen and we agreed! Nothing too elaborate, just something romantic like making chocolate-covered strawberries for his sweetheart, Traci. So after we had some photo fun in downtown Greenville and around Falls Park, we headed for the Poinsett kitchen.

Checkout the slideshow followed by some of the highlights below.







Traci & Lark loved this image because it is "so Lark" and from the short time we have known him, we would have to agree. The caption would read something like "C'mon man, seriously?!".











Love amidst the hustle and bustle of a busy restaurant kitchen. (Actually it wasn't that busy and Chef and an assistant were kind enough to help us fake it) Thanks again Chef! ;)


Now that is one appetizing (and extremely expensive) dessert plate! Kudos to Lark for his expert plating.
