We talked with Annie & Jordan several times before their engagement session. We first met them over email then again at the Bridal Showcase. They officially booked us (yay!) and we had a consultation to talk about their ideal engagement session. Jordan had an epic proposal in Charleston complete with a celebration with their families afterwards. So they asked if I travelled and if I would be up for a Charleston engagement session…yes & yes!!
We planned the session around everyone’s work schedules & Annie’s parents even flew in to be a part of it. However, we had just one night to make it happen and weather was NOT on our side. It started with a little wind then a torrential downpour. Annie had her hair and makeup done and we were determined to make the best of it.
It was honestly so fun out running the storm, racing around Charleston, all while being chauffered by Annie’s parents. I was so impressed by Jordan & Annie’s positive vibes and awesome attitudes as we went with the flow.
Most brides would be super stressed and would have let it ruin the day but instead these two beautiful people embraced the storm and danced in the rain, quite literally at the end of the night. I’m so glad we went with it and just changed up our planned locations just a little bit. We were able to get some great shots in the city that meant so much to them.
Since the weather was bad and we shot this session in about 30 minutes, Annie didn’t have a chance to change her outfit. She bought the cutest little dress from Lily that she wanted to rock so I told her we would make it happen back in Charlotte.
It happened to be sunflower season, one of my favorite times of the year! So just a few days later we schedule a sunrise, yes so very early in July, session to finish up their engagement pictures! Not only were they troopers in the rain, they were troopers being ready by sunrise too.
Annie’s dress was PERFECT for the sunflowers. There was not a soul in sight and we had the place all to ourselves.
It was an amazing sunrise and I got to spend the morning getting to know this couple a little bit better.
Jordan & Annie are so much fun and I cannot wait to see them on their big day, which happens to be very very soon.
Have you ever seen Married at First Sight, the Charlotte edition? Fun fact, the wedding venue that the couples get married in on the show, it’s Jordan and Annie’s venue too! Alexander Homestead is also my favorite barn venue in Charlotte so make sure to tune into the ‘gram for some behind the scenes fun from their big day.
Comment below and leave Jordan & Annie some love and wedding advice!
See you both very soon!!
