Charleston South Carolina Engagement Session; Taylor + Merandah

Spring engagement session in Charleston South Carolina | Folly Beach | East Coast Wedding photographer based in Johnson City Tennessee.

What is better than an engagement session at the beach?! This session with Taylor and Merandah was so perfect. We had perfect weather and perfect golden sunshine, and the beach wasn’t crowded!

Taylor and Merandah are actually planning their wedding in Pennsylvania in the Fall of 2023, and they asked if I could take their engagement photos at the beach! They travelled over 11 hours, stayed locally and made a week vacation out of it. They are so fun, and full of laughs and love. We actually started taking photos at Cypress Gardens in Moncks Corner, South Carolina. Taylor wanted to surprise Merandah by taking a few photos where some of The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks was filmed, we hopped on a canoe and did the 45 minute paddle around the swamp, we all were a fan of the friends in the water too, so we had tons of fun spotting them out, and getting almost stuck a few times in the canoe. After we had taken some around the gardens, it was time to leave and head to the beach!

We hadn’t originally planned this, but we got to Cypress Gardens a little late, so we opted for some beach pics! Taylor made the cutest matching jackets, and they both had cute outfits picked out! I think oceanside pictures are some of my favorite, also completely random, but did I mention they are getting married on Friday the 13th!? How sick is that?

Anyways, enjoy a little peek into their engagement session and hopefully this will spring some inspiration into you!
