I was SO excited to receive this very adorable engagement session that took place right along the shores of Charleston, SC from one of our very own Destination Wedding Vendors, Kate Botwinski Photography! I have seriously fallen in love with Kate & Sam’s photography. You can see from the images just how sweet this couple is and just how much they are head over heels in love with one another!
From the Photographer: Shane and Nikki currently reside in Charleston, where they are stationed with the Air Force. Shane is a charming Air Force pilot and when Nikki busy with her career as a local news producer, she’s supporting her hubby-to-be while he is flying missions.
Shane almost had Nikki at, “Hello,” but it was when she noticed that he makes as many silly faces as she does, that there was really something to explore with him. After a series of cross-country moves, Shane asked Nikki to be his wife in the beautiful and historical Battery Park in Charleston. To kick off the engagement session, we revisited the same bench where he proposed so that they could always remember how they felt on that special day.
After walking through the Charleston cobblestone streets and venturing out to The Longwood Plantation with Nikki and Shane, we spent an evening photographing them on the beach where they playfully walked the docks together and watched the sunset over the sand dunes.
A few of my favorite photos are the goofy ones where they showed off a few childhood photos of each other and joked at each other’s expressions!
Shane and Nikki are a fun-loving, spontaneous couple. We admire them because they bring out each other’s rich personalities and consciously work to strengthen their relationship regardless of where their military orders take them. The wedding will be on April 30th at one of Charleston’s most beautiful Catholic churches: The Cathedral of St. John the Baptist and the elegant reception will be at downtown Charleston’s finest: The Francis Marion Hotel.
After seeing this e-session, I can’t wait to visit Charleston! My little sis, Holly just moved there and is in the line up to be engaged next or so we think: hint, hint Travis. ;) I can just imagine how sweet they’ll look in their engagement photos walking along the beach or sitting right under the spanish moss. Ahhh can’t wait!
THANK YOU to Kate & Sam for sharing this precious couple and your amazing photography with us today!
