Jessica and Casey's vibe gelled perfectly with mine and my shooting style and we had a casual stroll through downtown Charleston to showcase this beautiful couple. Jessica was so stunning, equipped with platinum hair, and some totally unique nails. Anyone and anything unique makes me shine as a photographer, and it's such a great challenge to showcase through imagery. </p>

<p>I'd like to use the above image to give a big shout out to my favorite medium, 35mm film. Honestly, it's perfect. </p>
<p>We started the day at the customs house, using the beautiful marble steps to showcase the cool and warm tones of the setting sun. </p>

<p>I love the 3D effect created by the floor geometry and how it makes Jessica and Casey pop!</p>
<p>Next we went downtown to the historic Bay Street by the battery. This is a favorite spot of mine for engagement photographs. You get water, and the most historic of charleston homes, all in a single location. </p>
