As an engagement photographer in Charleston, SC, I have the privilege of capturing love stories in some of the most beautiful locations, and Bailey and Ryan’s engagement session at Cypress Gardens was no exception. The enchanting scenery of this unique venue perfectly complemented their deep connection and love for one another.
Bailey and Ryan first met at Clemson through mutual friends, and from the very beginning, they felt completely comfortable around each other. That sense of ease and familiarity is something that has stayed with them throughout their relationship, which has now spanned four wonderful years. During their engagement session, it was clear that this bond has only grown stronger over time.
Cypress Gardens, with its serene water views, lush greenery, and peaceful atmosphere, was the perfect setting to showcase their love. As we explored the gardens, Bailey and Ryan’s natural chemistry shone through, making it easy to capture candid moments filled with joy and laughter. The calm waters and towering trees provided a romantic backdrop that enhanced every shot.
When I asked Bailey what she loves most about Ryan, she was quick to mention his sense of humor. His ability to make her laugh is one of the things she cherishes most. Ryan, on the other hand, couldn’t stop smiling when talking about Bailey’s smile — something he finds completely captivating. This playful and loving dynamic was evident throughout the session, making each moment feel effortless and authentic.
In five years, Bailey and Ryan envision themselves living in Charlotte, closer to their families, and continuing to build a beautiful life together. Their shared vision for the future and their strong connection made this engagement session truly memorable.
I’m honored to also be photographing their wedding this fall in Charleston, and I look forward to capturing even more of their special moments as they celebrate their love surrounded by family and friends.
Cypress Gardens is an idyllic location for engagement photos, offering a blend of nature and romance that’s hard to beat. If you’re looking for a venue that combines stunning scenery with peaceful charm, this spot is perfect.
