Santa Monica + Malibu Engagement Session from FORGED IN THE NORTH

I’m humbled that A Lowcountry Wedding draws submissions from, not only all across the country, but also across the globe.  And while I’m flattered by the love and thankful for the support, we rarely share submissions from anywhere but the Lowcountry.  On a rare occasion, a beauty rolls across our inbox, or more accurately, Two Bright Lights, that I just can’t say no to and this California engagement session has set my wedding blogger heart a-flutter.  So, join me in welcoming this talented team of Brooklyn photographers, Forged in the North as we share Mike + Meghan’s romantic Santa Monica + Malibu engagement session that is bound to catch your eye.

Southern Beach Engagement by Justina Bilodeau Photography

Sadly, today is the last day of my much anticipated vacation.  We spent the whole week with family, out at Kiawah Island, lounging on the beach and soaking up the sun.  It was heaven.  Since, I've got to get back to the real world tomorrow, I thought I'd share a lovely Southern Beach Engagement from the talented Justina Bilodeau Photography that is bound to make you daydream of spending your days on the shore.   If you fall in love with Justina's work (just like we know you will!), check out her gorgeous William Aiken House Inspiration Shoot with stunning Jenny Packham gowns from White on Daniel Island.

Folly Beach Surprise Proposal by Caroline Ro Photography

Y’all, this might be the cutest proposal Folly Beach has ever seen, and we’re so glad that Charleston wedding photographer, Caroline Ro, has shared it with us.  You know you’ve got a good guy when he pulls out all the stop to ask for your hand in marriage and Groom-to-be,  Shawn, spared no sweet expense for the lovely Karlee.  He prepared to sweep his lady off her feet  in a secluded corner on Folly Beach where adorable Polaroids of the couple were strung from tree-to-tree.  After getting down on one knee and asking the beautiful Karlee to be his wife, the ecstatic couple were greeted by friends and family to celebrate their laid back Lowcountry engagement on the beach.  Thanks to the wonderful Caroline Ro Photography for capturing such a genuine and memorable Folly Beach Surprise proposal!
