Samantha & Drew | Engagement Session



My, oh my. This Charleston engagement shoot has our wedding-loving hearts bursting at the seams. Historic downtown buildings, two elegantly blue-hued wardrobes, the breezy Folly Beach air, AND two adorable fur babies, Emma and Moose … could it get any more presh? This shoot was pure golden. (See what we did there?) Samantha and Drew drove up from Charlotte, North Carolina, to meet their photographers Laura & Rachel in Charleston and boy, was it worth the trip. Earlier on in the relationship, while these once high school sweethearts were enjoying a lovey-dovey dinner on vacation at Harbour Island in the Bahamas, Samantha was about to document the picturesque view with a quick snap on her iPhone, when she noticed Drew was down on one knee. “I could hardly let him get the words out; I was so ready to say yes!” says Samantha. These two lovebirds set the date to tie the knot next April back where they got engaged, the ever so fabulous Bahamas. OK, we may be just a tad bit jealous about the location. We volunteer to babysit the pups!
