Whenever couples plan their engagement sessions I always encourage them to think about whether there’s a spot that’s special to the two of them that would make for a beautiful backdrop to take their engagement photos at. In the case of Danielle and Mark, they suggested a spot that was just that. I met these two at the property of longtime family friends on James Island who are the best friends of Danielle’s parents. Their house was set back against the water with a private dock and large oak trees dripping with Spanish moss. Out front was a little hidden oasis of a garden that we also walked around, and this setting could NOT have been more beautiful. We ended at a Palm Tree Farm where Mark works and the two have some fun photos in the past of them together which were super fun to update with these new photos!
