The weather was supposed to be rainy and gloomy on the day we scheduled Laura and Josh’s engagement session, but then when it came, it was PERFECT outside. (South Carolina weather is fun, right?) We couldn’t have planned for a more perfect day. The sun was out and the temperature felt so great.

We met at the State House for the first part of their session, and we had the best time getting to know each other! I always tell every couple that the beginning of the session they’ll feel a little awkward (and that I always feel nervous and awkward too), but then by the end everything feels so much more comfortable!

It was definitely like that for these two—by the end we were laughing and cutting up and having a great time at the Lake Murray dam.

These two were just so sweet, and I can’t WAIT until their wedding in August!

Enjoy my favorites from their engagement session!
