Madison & Owen: A Sunset Sail in Charleston

Maddy emailed me a couple months ago to arrange our engagement session and shared her idea of renting a sailboat for it (her friend is conveniently a captain at Charleston Sailing School). I immediately could envision it and was all in.

They’re getting married in Charleston next May at Hibernian Hall, so we began with a few photos of them in front of their beautiful historic venue (a few pics with their sweet golden, Syd!). We strolled along the streets of downtown for a few moments before heading over to the marina and hopping on the sailboat.

What made these photos so fun was the experience behind them. Maddy had set up the boat ride and invited a few additional friends to join, with the intention of making it a fun evening experience (while taking some photos here and there). We had wine, charcuterie, etc in tow, and were able to take our time until the light was just right for those dreamy golden hour images. What was captured was the REAL joy and fun that Owen and Maddy were actually having.

Enjoy the photos!
