The Dream Proposal Starts Here
THE DETAILS
There’s truly no better place to pop the question than Charleston—and no wrong season to do it… well, almost no wrong season.
Spring is a dream—vibrant blooms, charming window boxes, and the sweet scent of magnolias floating through the air.
Autumn is iconic, with golden leaves, cool breezes, and that cozy, romantic Lowcountry glow.
Winter light? Pure magic. Think soft skies, snuggly layers, and maybe an oyster roast to celebrate.
And then there’s summer.
It’s hot. It’s humid. It’s the kind of sticky where your clothes instantly become part of your skin. We’re talking 100% humidity and no personal space from the air. BUT… if summer’s the only time that works for you? Don’t worry—we’ll still make it absolutely amazing (and probably bring extra sweat towels).
Whatever the season, Charleston offers a stunning backdrop for one of the biggest moments of your life.

Laura and Rachel, I cannot speak more highly of the work they do! They walked me step by step through every piece of the process including picking a location, selecting flower arrangements, selecting a restaurant, finding and scheduling transportation, picking a hotel, and more! Not only that, but they took care of everything on the big day! They decorated every venue impeccably- and they made everything look so easy! Additionally, the photos were nothing short of perfect. My fiancé and I couldn't be happier with the results. Laura and Rachel helped us make this day one we will both remember forever, and I could never thank them enough for that!

Laura and Rachel were fantastic from start to finish! I live in Seattle so they handled all the logistics and prep. They gave me tons of location choices and when venues fell through they were able to pivot and find a fantastic alternative.
"Fantastic from start to finish!”

I reached out to Laura and Rachel about photographing our engagement. From start to finish, their professionalism and commitment was astonishing. For months on end, I received updates both in email and picture form, all while ensuring it's exactly what I had in mind. To say that the experience was perfect doesn't do it justice. If anyone is looking for a photography team, stop here , you will not regret it.

There are not enough words to describe how wonderful L&R are. They were a dream come true. They made us feel extremely comfortable and like we were having a photo shoot with old friends. The pictures were so beautiful I cannot stop staring at them. I highly, highly recommend this duo! We are very excited for them to shoot our wedding next!

Laura and Rachel are an amazing duo! I am not from the Charleston area and had little familiarity with the town. I knew that I wanted to propose in Charleston, and that was about it. L&R made amazing recommendations for proposal locations and helped create a perfect plan for the big moment. They provided very specific details which helped alleviate any stress I was feeling. Overall, an amazing experience and I would 100% recommend working with this mother daughter duo!

I cannot recommend Laura & Rachel Photography highly enough! They helped me plan and execute my proposal in Charleston, and the entire experience was nothing short of magical. Their expertise and creativity shone through in every aspect, ensuring that every detail was meticulously planned and beautifully captured. The photos they took are simply stunning, and we’ve received countless compliments from friends and family, many of whom have said they are some of the best proposal photos they’ve ever seen. Without a doubt, we will be asking Laura and Rachel to shoot our wedding, no matter where it takes place!

Laura and Rachel made planning my proposal simple and enjoyable. They gave me recommendations on what to wear, how to ask, and potential spots to pop the question. They walked me through the process and timeline for the day. When the time came, I was ready and relaxed because of how much effort I could tell they put in. The photos they returned were beautiful and I highly recommend them to anyone looking to get engaged. You and your new fiancée will love L&R!

FAQ
The sooner, the better! Our weekends—especially in spring and fall—fill up fast with weddings, proposals, and all kinds of photo magic. So the earlier you reach out, the better your chances of locking in your ideal date (and sunset!).
That said, weekdays usually have way more flexibility, so if your schedule allows, they’re a great option for a more private, relaxed experience.
To reserve your spot, we’ll need a signed contract and a retainer. That officially puts things in motion. And hey—if something comes up and you need to change the date? No big deal. Just give us a heads up and we’ll work with you to make it happen.
How far in advance do I need to book?
questions —
Nobody wants a soggy proposal... unless you’re going for full-on Notebook vibes (which, by the way, was filmed right here in Charleston—so you’re in good company).
If blue skies are a must, rescheduling is usually the easiest option. We typically make the call the morning of (or a few hours before) based on the forecast.
On vacation with limited time? We’ve got you. We’ll help you come up with a solid rain backup plan—whether that’s moving locations, adjusting timing, or embracing the moment with a clear umbrella and a little spontaneity.
Sometimes, a moody sky makes the moment feel even more romantic. Either way, we’ve got it covered (literally and figuratively).
What do we do if it rains?
questions —
Dress it up a bit! Think nice khakis or dress pants with a button-up shirt for you. For her? A long, flowy dress is always a win.
This isn’t just any regular day, so treat it like a special date night. Take her shopping, book her a pampering hair and makeup session, and make sure those nails are fresh. She’ll be so into the whole experience, you won’t even have to suggest it!
Pro tip: Don’t be too pushy about what she wears—if she starts thinking you're being extra picky, she might catch on that something big is happening. Keep it casual, and let her have fun with the outfit choices.
And don’t worry—we’re here to help you every step of the way, from picking the right looks to making sure everything feels effortless.
What should we wear?
questions —
Unless you’ve got a side gig as a model, you’re probably going to feel a little awkward in front of the camera. Heck, we take photos for a living and we still freeze up like deer in headlights when it’s our turn!
Don’t stress—you're not alone. We’ll guide you through every step, giving you simple directions to make you look and feel your best. Before you know it, you'll be having fun with it—no stiff poses, just real moments that feel natural.
We’ve got your back, and trust us, by the end of it, you’ll be surprised how easy (and fun) it can be!
We're awkward and don't know how to pose.
questions —
Within 7 days of your session, you’ll get a link to your very own digital gallery. From there, you can easily download all the high-res images straight to your phone or computer—no tech wizardry required.
Want to turn those photos into prints, canvases, or keepsakes? The gallery makes that as easy as turning on a Roomba. Click, order, done.
Major bonus points if you surprise her later with a framed favorite—or go all in with a custom album she’ll treasure forever. Trust us, that kind of thoughtfulness wins every time.
How will I receive my photos?
