Truth time: Sometimes we get these engagement sessions and straight-up envy the charmed Instagram-worthy lives the couples seem to live. And Kaitlin and Allan’s shots could do just that. But....

Cator, editor-in-chief of men’s lifestyle website The Manual, first met professional gardener Paul at a cocktail party on Broad Street. After a nearly three-year courtship, the two were engaged in 2015 at their home in Cannonborough/Elliotborough. This May, the couple wed in a private garden downtown before enjoying a reception at South Carolina Society Hall. They honeymooned in Rome, Sicily, and the Bailiwick of Jersey.
