When engagement sessions get rained out, it’s always a bit of a bummer… but when the rescheduled day looks like this, you just can’t help but be grateful! Emily & Chandler’s Hopelands Gardens engagement session in Aiken, SC couldn’t have been more beautiful. These two are the absolute sweetest together and we had the most fun exploring the property (AND DISCOVERING THE MOST GLORIOUS CAMELLIA BUSH!) and talking all things weddings, food & life plans. Also fun fact, their wedding is Beauty & the Beast inspired, so those gorgeous red flowers couldn’t have been more perfect. 

Y’all, Emily did this session 1. sick and 2. the night before she defending her thesis for her Masters in Psychology. This girl is amazing. And Chandler is incredibly kind (and shared all about the deals of Whole Foods closing in our town – which I’m still mourning). I can’t wait for their wedding in June to celebrate more!
