Last week, I got to do something that I rarely ever get to do as a wedding photographer and engagement session photographer. I had the pleasure of photographing a sunrise engagement session! Sunrise is such a beautiful time of day. It’s always just as beautiful, if not more beautiful than sun set. It just gets a bad rap, because of how early it is! I will admit that we had to wake up around 5am, and we started shooting around 6am, but it was totally worth it for these Charleston engagement photos at hampton park and rainbow row! The main reason that I love sun rise photos more than sun set photos is that hardly anyone else is awake! In a city that is as popular as Charleston and locations that photographers love to take photos in as much as Hampton Park and rainbow row, sun rise is the best time of day if we want the place all to ourselves and to not have to worry about sharing the place with other couples trying to take engagement or wedding photos at the same time. It also really helped that we were taking these photos on a week day and not on a Saturday, when I’m sure it gets much more crowded with photographers and couples.

We started this super fun session off at Hampton Park. Our main goal for this location was to capture this sweet couple with the beautiful Spanish moss trees in the background. We wanted a very Charleston look, and this park gave us that for sure! Next, we headed over to rainbow row to capture Hannah and Jack in the other most classic Charleston environment. I’m so happy with this session, and I loved getting to photograph one of my favorite couples again.

Hannah and Jack, I love you two! Enjoy these sneak peeks while I finish editing your full gallery!
