Wow!! You've gotta be happy when you head out to do a shoot and you get light like this right? Both as the photographer and the subject! Kevin & Rebecca were recently married in Charleston but weren't able to get great engagement photos, and once they saw the work of Hyer Images and realised 'what could be done', they booked in a redo so they could get it right. There really is such a difference between having 'a friend who can take photos' and hiring a professional photographer. In the end you may end up spending more money by choosing the former and being disappointed. And you know what I really love about this shoot? It feels so organic and real... focuses just on the couple rather than the prop set up. Billy & Rachel from Hyer Images share some details of the shoot with us...
We spent some quality time with the couple scouting for the perfect location, ending up at Folly Beach in Charleston, SC. In this case Kevin & Rebecca loved being apart of the whole deal from shopping to discusing of location and how posing works previous to the session. The last thing we ever want to do is to just show up and start shooting and its so nice when people have the willing effort and time to put into the session. One of the biggest frustrations you can experience as a photographer is when you show up to the session and the clothes they pick are so hard to make flattering in photos. We have a saying, just as clothes can make you look good or bad in regular life, it's the same with photos. The more we photograph the more we realize how clothing can make or break the outcome of a photo session, so we were so happy to have the time to shop with them.

Whoa...the light is incredible! I love when photographers are able to capture the light in such a way that you can actually almost feel the warmth. Charleston is gorgeous...it's one of those magical places in the USA. Great post mate! :-)
