CHARLESTON WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER // SOUTH CAROLINA WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER // CHARLESTON ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS // ATLANTA WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

“Audrey helped capture my proposal to the love of my life! She was very easy to work with and was able to provide her expertise leading up to, and on the day of (calming me down). We are very happy to have chosen her, so much so that we have already booked her for our wedding!” – C.P.

C pulled off the sweetest surprise proposal for G at Cypress Gardens—and even with the rain in the forecast, everything came together perfectly! We got incredibly lucky with a break in the weather right when G and her friends were supposed to arrive. She thought they were just going to the gardens to explore and take photos while the girls were in town…but C had other plans.

The moment was calm, quiet, and full of emotion. G had no idea C was even in town, so when she saw him waiting for her, she was shocked. Having her friends there to celebrate with them afterward made the moment even more special!

Cypress Gardens already held a special place in their lives. A few years ago, they visited together and purchased a brick in the butterfly house with their names on it, so returning to that spot for such a big moment made it all the more meaningful.

C and G first met in Charleston after graduating from college in 2022, during Navy training. G stayed in South Carolina, while C is now stationed in New Hampshire. Despite the distance, they’ve made the most of their time apart (lots of FaceTime!) and have shared some amazing trips—visiting places like D.C., New York, and Florida. D.C. has been a favorite so far, both for the people they saw and everything the city had to offer.

I’m so excited to be photographing their wedding in Charleston next fall—and after seeing the way C planned this moment, I already know it’s going to be an amazing day!
