City Engagement Photos in the Columns of Charlotte

Caroline + Anthony

Engagement Session
September, 2025

Caroline and Anthony’s engagement session was pure magic from start to finish. When we were planning their photos, they already had a specific location in mind: the stunning courthouse spot in Charlotte with its grand columns. They dreamed of this backdrop long before their session, and it was such a joy to make that vision come to life. The architecture gave their gallery such a classic, timeless feel, making it perfect for their city engagement photos in Charlotte vision.

These two have been together for ten years, and you can feel that depth of connection in every single photo. Their love story began long before Anthony popped the question, but his proposal is still one of the sweetest details. They got engaged at Christmas under a lit gazebo. He chose the ring himself, surprising Caroline completely, and to this day she still lights up when telling the story.

One of the most meaningful details from their shoot? The ring Caroline wears on her right hand. It was a gift from Anthony’s mom, given to her by Anthony’s Dad, making it such a beautiful symbol of family and connection. That sense of closeness carried into their engagement session, and it was beautiful hearing the story of two people who have built a life together with love and intention.

Caroline is a pharmacist, and Anthony works as a software engineer, but outside of their careers, they’re best friends who know how to keep each other laughing. During their session, you could feel their comfort together and the ease that comes after ten years of choosing each other again and again. The city setting gave us such a fun way to highlight that bond, mixing modern romance with classic elegance.

Though they’ll be tying the knot in Maine, they wanted their engagement photos in these beautiful columns they dreamt of in Charlotte. The courthouse columns became more than just a backdrop, they were a dream come true. We spent the evening wandering between poses, laughing, and soaking up the glow of the sun setting behind the skyscrapers.

Caroline and Anthony, thank you for trusting me to capture such an important milestone. Your session was as beautiful and unique as your love story, and I cannot wait to see all the joy that your Maine wedding will bring. Here’s to celebrating ten years together, and the many decades still ahead!
