Katelyn & Derek met in college at ECU, although they lived right down the road from each other growing up. Her friend was dating his friend, so they bumped into each other a lot, which Katelyn secretly hoped would catch Derek’s eye. When it was finally time for their first official date, it seemed like the odds weren’t in Katelyn’s favor as the power was knocked out by a storm. She had planned to get dolled up but instead she met him with a top knot and no make-up. But that didn’t stop her from catching Derek’s eye. Katelyn said she thought there was no way he would ever want to see her again, but it turned out to be her last first date instead!
Now, if you are a blog follower, you may remember their adorable proposal story! If not, stop right now and go read it! After that day, Katelyn and Derek stole our hearts! I was anxiously hoping we would get to capture their wedding! When I got Katelyn’s email, I was giddy with excitement! But to make things even more amazing, Katelyn and I planned their engagement session in my favorite city- Charleston, SC! And she had perfect outfits complete with a tulle skirt and floral crown! AHH! It was so much fun roaming the streets with you guys! Katelyn and Derek, I am so excited to capture your wedding next spring! Thanks for an amazingly fun session!
And then we found this tree. It stole my heart!!!!! Get ready for way too many shots on this tree!
