10 minutes into our first meeting, Erin and I knew that we were a great fit to work together for her wedding photography. Erin came with a wedding binder sectioned into different categories (photographer, venue, florist, etc.), just as how I would organize my wedding folder into different segments of the day. Her future mom-in-law came along, and I thought that was very sweet. I walked away from our meeting knowing instantly that we would get along so well preparing for Erin’s big day.

We decided to have Erin and Charlie’s engagement session in Charlotte, NC because that was where it all began for them. It worked out perfectly for me, as I was traveling down to Charleston, SC for another of my brides. We met up at Kindred, a beautiful American classic restaurant where Erin and Charlie love to pay visits. They are also big foodies who love to try out new restaurants, so having some photos taken at a restaurant also reflects their relationship and how they like to spend time as a couple. We took a stroll around Davidson, a little town near where they live, and were later joined by Daisy, their adorable English setter puppy. Read on for more of their story.

Charlie: “I like that she accepts me for who I am – and I can completely be myself around her. She loves and supports me no matter what. I am excited to marry my best friend.”
