Over the years, I’ve worked with amazing photographers resulting in some cute couple pictures and artful photography. Hiring a photographer that you feel comfortable with is KEY to a successful couple photoshoot. Keep reading as I highlight three of my favorite photographers who knock wedding and engagement photography out of the park!
My Photographer Picks of the Week!
Cali is one of my best friends since middle school so it was such a joy to see her marry her true love in our hometown of Charlotte, NC. I’ve always admired Cali’s style and I’m obsessed with her unique spin on the nontraditional wedding dress. Cali and Will chose to work with Olive Branch Photography to capture their engagement and wedding photos.
Olive Branch Photography is based in Charlotte, NC and owned by photographer, Meghan Paulino-Alban. Meghan values natural light, authenticity and spontaneity in her work. She is open to travel and is the type of photographer who likes to meet up at a local coffee shop to get to know you before your scheduled shoot. Take a peek at Olive Branch Photography’s Instagram to browse the loveliness of her work!
Every couple photoshoot requires new clothes! I’m loving these cute couple pictures of newlywed’s Cali and Will. Cali’s Needle & Thread wedding dress can be found in several variations at BHLDN and her custom made jacket can be found at Something New Bridal Box. Know someone getting married? Something New Bridal Box is the perfect bridal shower gift. They send customized monthly surprise boxes for brides to be!
My husband and I had these photos taken post- wedding in Old San Juan, PR. It was one of the most magical afternoons. After the photoshoot we went to a nearby Piano Bar called The Cannon Club. There, we found a vocalist, violinist and pianist gathered in a decorative lounge improvising Spanish harmonies. We sat back with our top shelf rum (on the house!) and melted into the aura of the room.
Sexy and mysterious is where Love Bears Photography shines. Photographers Fran and Mills are the perfect husband and wife team who love to shoot elopement looks. They are located in Puerto Rico and are open to travel. Love Bears specifically focuses on destination wedding photography. However, you may catch them shooting in NY or LA on the regular.
Fran and Mills have a great eye for styling and storytelling. They will even send you a mood board via Pinterest to help you plan outfits for the shoot. If you are looking for a creative and chill vibe, these photographers are your match!
Couple Photoshoot Continued…
My husband and I had to postpone our wedding twice during the pandemic so we were unable to follow through with the couple photoshoot we had initially planned for. As you can imagine, it was such a blessing to shoot with Georgia Grace in Charleston, SC pre-wedding and to work with designer, Alena Fede on showcasing her design. We were gifted with a little taste of wedding bliss before the big day.
Romance illuminates from Georgia Grace’s Portfolio. A Charleston based photographer, Georgia’s work has a fine art and editorial influence. She is owner of Georgia Grace Photography and specializes in destination elopements. Similar to Love Bears, Georgia has an eye for style and offers color palette suggestions for your wardrobe choices.
Lastly, take a look at Georgia Grace Photography’s Instagram for more couple photoshoot ideas.
As one final note, the common thread throughout Olive Branch Photography, Love Bears and Georgia Grace Photography is that they are all passionate about photography as an art form and make the shooting experience fun! I hope you enjoy their work as much as I do:-)
