Most couples would probably do engagement photos in their own home, but since Brent and I made the decision not to live together before our wedding, we did this impromptu shoot in my (and my roommate’s) new house. If you’re wondering why there’s an “R” magnet on the fridge, my roomie’s name is Randi haha! While I miss him so much when we aren’t together and would love to live with him now, we are enjoying this time as an engaged couple and it’s just going to make it that much more special when we are married and we finally have a place of our own.
Since we spend most of our time staying in and hanging out rather than out on the town, we thought it would be fun to capture us in our element. Most nights you’ll find us binge-watching Game of Thrones, cuddling with our fur babies, drinking wine, and ordering Marco’s Pizza, and when we do go out together it’s to our favorite chill bars in Mount Pleasant (like Red’s or Shelter) with a group of friends. We had so much fun dressing up all fancy for our first engagement photos, but this just seemed more like us. Belle couldn’t join us for these photos (Brent’s pup), but Patsy tried her best to make up for her absence!
A huge thank you as always to my amazing photographer, Nicole! I’m so happy with how these turned out and largely because of her and how comfortable she makes us feel while shooting.

These are such sweet photos Hilary! While I like the dazzle of fancy dancy photos, I love that this natural. It truly shows you guys in your element and you can feel it through your photos. Congratulations on the engagement!

Hilary, I love these! They’re so sweet and special. I also love that y’all chose not to live together before you got married. My husband and I did that (mainly because of family members who would’ve objected), and a lot of people our age wondered why we chose that. But it made getting married and moving in together that much more special!

Thank you so much Emma! XOXO
