Seaside Romance: Editorial | The Cottages on Charleston Harbor

During my recent travels, I had the utmost pleasure of photographing this seaside editorial on Charleston's charming harbor. Soft hues, mixed textures, and the most romantic florals--I couldn't have been more enamored with the detail. And I'd just love to talk about this TO-DIE Carol Hannah gown, but I'm pretty sure it speaks volumes all on its own.

I may have gotten carried away photographing the natural details along the beach while shooting, but gah, I just couldn't resist. All of the natural elements that pieced so perfectly with the planned elements of this shoot just had my little heart jumping for joy.

What I'm Loving: Charleston

As you probably know from previous posts on my social media outlets, a few weeks ago I had the absolute pleasure of spending the week in Charleston. The city charmed me even more than I expected. Just imagine the pages of Southern Living Magazine in real life--from cobblestone streets, to hand painted numbers on doors, to the way everyone greets you with a "Hello ma'am." I now know why the town comes so highly acclaimed as one of America's prettiest cities.

Not only was she a looker, but Charleston also wooed me with her authentic Southern food--particularly the shrimp and grits. I might have had it on three separate occasions. Oops!

If you ever find yourself in Charleston for a weekend away, I highly recommend dining at Husk for its daily changing and delicious menu and Poogan's Porch for its particular charm. They will not disappoint.

I was in Charleston with a group of photographers, so this is pretty much how we looked the entire time we were roaming the streets. (:

The detail on every building oozed so much charm and unique character--as did my sweet new friends I made, of whom I already miss. Happy Friday, my friends!
