I recently made the trek down south for Delaney & Josh’s engagement session in Folly Beach, right outside Charleston, South Carolina. Located at the northern end of Folly Beach, the Lighthouse Inlet Heritage Preserve provides an excellent backdrop for photography, with an epic view of Morris Island Lighthouse and captivating ocean and marsh views. We started off the session on the beach, using the old driftwood trees as our backdrop, with the Lighthouse off in the distance. The Lighthouse is a special place for Delaney and Josh and they visit the area often on their boat. We even spotted a pod of dolphins busting on bait just feet from shore. We continued our walk, waiting for the sunset to its thing and made our way to the marsh views of Rat Island. They popped a bottle of champagne and just as we were starting to make our way back, the sun peaked out from behind the clouds and painted the sky. With most of the session being overcast, it was a welcomed sight. They quickly jumped in the water and we got some awesome photos with the sun and driftwood trees as a backdrop. Its been a few years since I’ve been out to this area and I really wish I was able to stick around for a few days! I’ll be seeing these guys again soon for their wedding this coming fall.
