Ashley + James | Downtown Greenville Engagement

They’ve known each other since they were 5.  And she’ll admit to you that she had a little crush on him back then.  But as they grew up and stayed friends, that friendship eventually turned into something more.

God had plans for them to attend different schools – she went to Clemson and he went to the Citadel in Charleston.  And even as they spent the next five years (she stayed to get her masters… in engineering!) in different parts of the state, they still remained close and fell more and more in love.

Then one day this fall, it seemed like any other ordinary day to Ashley.  Plans were made for dinner with her brother and sister-in-law and they were going to meet for a double date over tacos in downtown Greenville.  James parked the car and they walked, hand in hand, across the Liberty Bridge overlooking Falls Park.  As she stopped to look at the water, then turned to say something to James, she found him beside her, down on one knee, and that’s when he asked her to marry him.  He had all the words in the world to say, but there will be years for those words to be said.

Ashley and James, I had so much fun getting to hang out with you both and to document this part of your love story.  I absolutely can’t wait for your wedding in April!

Just a few shots in and these two are ALREADY good at being in front of my camera!!

So much of their relationship centered around Charleston since James was there for school. And we went back and forth deciding where to do their engagement photos.
Greenville has just as much meaning to them both so we opted to stay in town, but this spot?  It’s a bit Charlestonian to me!

Ashley, seriously.  You’re gorgeous.  And James, that smile is because of you, my friend!
And can we please talk about how beautiful her ring is???

Love….

I know it’s technically still fall, but the weather and these berries just make me think of Christmas!

They had plenty of photos on the bridge from the night they got engaged, so we let it play a backup roll in these photos.

The one on the right is one of my favorites!

They wanted all three rings in the shot… and I don’t blame them!

We were running out of light quickly (and the rain was coming!), but these two worked HARD and FAST for these photos.

And I would say it was all well worth it!!

Oh my goodness I love this!

Ashley – you are beautiful.

James, I have a feeling that Ashley is the only one that can put that kind of smile on your face!

And I’ll end with this one because it’s still my all time favorite of theirs!
