Engagement

Landsford Canal Engagement Session | Colleen & Bryan by Kelli Conley

These two are my favorite! Colleen is just the sweetest and Bryan is just awesome! They are transplants to Charlotte like me and we super excited to get out and enjoy a state park and some scenery that showed what it was now like living in the Carolina's! Landsford Canal was just the place and we enjoyed a little hike, checking out the old canal and just getting to know each other better! I cannot wait until their wedding next June and know it will be just as amazing as they are!

 

Surprise Proposal | Jeremy & Kenzie | yah Photography by Kelli Conley

When I received an email from Jeremy letting me know that he was wanting to propose to Kenzie and get it all captured on the camera I was ecstatic! I had been wanting to photograph this moment for someone and Jeremy and Kenzie were the absolute perfect couple to be able to have the honor of capturing it for. After about a month of correspondence and planning the day finally arrived. Jeremy had even worked it out that Kenzie's parents could be there to be a part of the moment. He had informed Kenzie that they would be taking some pictures for their two year anniversary. The two of them have modeled and taken photographs for friends multiple times so this was nothing new for Kenzie. On the day of the shoot I made sure to help get Kenzie's parents in place, Jeremy kept calm, and throughout the entire shoot Kenzie had no idea. It got to the spot where Jeremy and I had discussed the approach to the proposal. I would pose Kenzie a couple feet in front of him so he could get down on one knee and I would have her turn around. I was so nervous I was going to ruin the moment, but Jeremy did amazing and the rest ensued so beautifully! I was at a loss for words, as were the two of them! It was such an amazing moment and I was so happy to be able to document it for them! I can't wait to see how beautiful their wedding will be!2014-11-04_0002.jpg 2014-11-04_0003.jpg 2014-11-04_0004.jpg 2014-11-04_0005.jpg 2014-11-04_0006.jpg 2014-11-04_0007.jpg 2014-11-04_0008.jpg 2014-11-04_0009.jpg 2014-11-04_0010.jpg 2014-11-04_0011.jpg 2014-11-04_0013.jpg 2014-11-04_0014.jpg 2014-11-04_0015.jpg 2014-11-04_0016.jpg 2014-11-04_0017.jpg 2014-11-04_0018.jpg 2014-11-04_0019.jpg 2014-11-04_0020.jpg 2014-11-04_0021.jpg 2014-11-04_0022.jpg 2014-11-04_0023.jpg 2014-11-04_0024.jpg 2014-11-04_0025.jpg 2014-11-04_0026.jpg 2014-11-04_0027.jpg 2014-11-04_0028.jpg

Dairy Barn Engagement Session | Fort Mill, SC | Meagen & Bryan by Kelli Conley

Being the animal lover that I am I was so excited when I found out Meagen and Bryan met through their mutual love for horses. Meagen had just started training her horse and hired Bryan to help her and the rest is history from there. I was also excited to find out they wanted to incorporate both their horses into their engagement session. The two of them are so cute together, both their dog and their horses were well behaved during the session and I can’t wait to share in their special day at The Dairy Barn in June!2015-06-17_0001.jpg 2015-06-17_0002.jpg 2015-06-17_0003.jpg 2015-06-17_0004.jpg 2015-06-17_0005.jpg 2015-06-17_0006.jpg 2015-06-17_0007.jpg 2015-06-17_0008.jpg 2015-06-17_0009.jpg 2015-06-17_0010.jpg

Sunflower Engagement Photographer | Sarah & Todd | yah Photography by Kelli Conley

I cannot believe my bestest, best friend in the whole wide world is getting married!! It seems like just yesterday we were meeting for the first time in the 8th grade and have been inseparable ever since. That is until I moved across the country to South Carolina while Sarah was still in California. But distance makes the heart grow fonder and Sarah and I have the kind of friendship where when we see each other it’s as if it was yesterday, even though it may have been a year. That is one of the things that I absolutely love about her. So when she first introduced me to Todd I felt that same way with him and every time since. So it was just natural when they came out here to see me and have their engagement session in the sunflowers… and you can tell that in their pictures! I am so honored to be able to be in Sarah’s wedding in California in October and I honestly can’t wait to see how beautiful my best friend is as a bride!!! 2014-07-22_0002.jpg 2014-07-22_0001.jpg 2014-07-22_0006.jpg 2014-07-22_0012.jpg 2014-07-22_0011.jpg 2014-07-22_0009.jpg 2014-07-22_0010.jpg

Peach Tree Engagement Photographer | Fort Mill, SC | Brittany & Jeff by Kelli Conley

I was so excited to hear that Jeff had proposed to Brittany! I had known Jeff for a couple years and knew it was only a matter of time before he popped the question. And when I met Brittany I knew that her and I would immediately become friends! These two are so sweet together and couldn't be nicer people. Plus Jeff and his brother have their own brewing company called Free Range Brewery which has also been a huge part of both of their lives the past few years as they have been working to get it off the ground. Brittany has been by Jeff's side the whole time and couldn't be a more supportive fiance'.  Their wedding is taking place in Asheville but they wanted pictures here locally that showed their love to being outside and nature. 2015-06-17_0011.jpg2015-06-17_0012.jpg 2015-06-17_0013.jpg 2015-06-17_0014.jpg 2015-06-17_0015.jpg 2015-06-17_0016.jpg 2015-06-18_0001.jpg 2015-06-18_0002.jpg 2015-06-18_0003.jpg
