Wild Things: M & T on Isle of Palms, Charleston

Here goes – introducing the “Wild Things”. My last blog went over what WILD means to me here at The Wild Elopement, and now we’re digging into a few sessions where my couples are letting themselves embrace their wildness.

How we started

As most engagement sessions do, M + T started their session dressed formally, and we went took some “typical” engagement session photos. We had fun, they were sweet, and their photos are beautiful. My favorite part is what comes after this though, so keep reading.

How it ended

Now for my favorite part…when they let loose a bit and were playful with each other. Wild looks different on every couple, and I’m here for all of it. Some couples literally have mud fights (coming soon to the blog, keep your eyes open), others are more about snuggling on a blanket and laughing together. My heart for every couple is that you feel comfortable enough to be fully yourselves, whatever that looks like. Here’s how M + T were wild.
