My brother & his wife (Genaro & Gaby) came to visit us from Phoenix and I was so incredibly happy to see them. His best friend Mikey also came with his fiancee, Lora (Gaby’s sister) and they wanted an engagement session done in Charleston. So well all rented out a beach house, them, us, my kids, and my parents & little sis’ together and enjoyed Charleston for about three days. I ♥ Charleston, and I was so excited to be doing a session there. I realize I still haven’t blogged Alin & I’s overnight getaway there from July and I promise it’s coming. I have been real busy catching up on editing and also working on new shoots, and so I haven’t had very much time to work on my personal stuff.

ANYWAY! Mikey & Lora are two of the nicest people I know, and both have huge hearts. I had an amazing time shooting these two!

First we headed over to Angel Oak, which is a tree believed to be over 1400 years old. Considering that Mikey and Lora have a thing for nature & history, what more perfect place could we start our session?

I told them I needed to do a spider web shot. As terrified as I am of spiders (especially this ginormous), this web was way to cool to pass up.

Next we headed to downtown Charleston, near King Street, and did a whole bunch of neat shots here. These two are so photogenic it’s ridiculous.

When I saw this chair perched on the wall, I just knew this scene was created for me.

Thanks Mikey and Lora! I had so much fun, and I wish you two all the best on your wedding day! I wish I could be there!
