There’s something special about a Folly Beach couples session — the mix of ocean breeze, pastel skies, and the sound of waves sets the perfect scene for connection and play. During a family trip to Charleston, South Carolina, for my cousin’s wedding, I got to photograph my youngest sister, G, and her partner, N. It was the perfect chance to capture their story during one of those golden, joy-filled evenings that feel like summer bottled up forever.

If you’re dreaming of photos that combine golden hour St. Augustine magic with historic charm, you’re in the right place. There’s just something about the way the sun hits these old cobblestone streets, the breeze coming off the water, and the soft glow bouncing off centuries-old architecture that makes every moment feel cinematic.

There’s something special about a Key West couple photoshoot—the colors, the light, and the unmistakable energy of the island.

If you’ve ever dreamed of a timeless, storybook moment, a Central Park proposal is it. On this trip, the couple was visiting his sister, an annual tradition. After enjoying tea that morning, the day felt perfectly ordinary. She had no idea her life was about to change.

At the start of this year, I photographed M and S during their winter Santa Fe couple session in the beautiful Santa Fe National Forest.

There’s something timeless and romantic about Eden Gardens State Park couples photos. This enchanting location in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, is filled with sprawling live oaks, historic gardens, and the kind of golden light that makes every photo feel like it belongs in a storybook.

Spring on Folly Beach is pure magic—the breeze, the sunsets, the soft sand under your feet. I had the joy of photographing my sister R and her partner W in a playful Folly Beach couple session during their spring break trip, right after a family wedding in Charleston.

Last fall, I had the pleasure of capturing M and C’s destination couple session at the stunning Rocky Mountain National Park. They made the trip up from Pueblo, Colorado, where they now call home, for an afternoon full of laughter and exploring The weather was perfect—a crisp fall day that even brought a light sprinkle, gifting us with a double rainbow! The timing couldn’t have been better.

C and K’s session on the North Shore of Kauai was great—low-key, personal, and filled with moments that don’t require much direction. We began in their neighborhood, just cruising around on bikes, barefoot and laughing. It was the kind of slow start that sets the tone for everything else.

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.
