There’s something truly special about an engagement session in downtown Columbia, SC. Recently, I had the joy of photographing Maddie and Alex’s love story right in the heart of the city. With its mix of historic architecture, charming alleys, and vibrant city energy, downtown Columbia offers the perfect blend of urban charm and Southern elegance.

We started at the iconic Main Street, where there are truly so many options for great photos! The couple was at ease as they strolled hand-in-hand, surrounded by the energy of the city that holds so many memories for them. Their genuine laughter and connection came through in every shot.

As we moved to Statehouse, we captured some softer, intimate moments under a canopy of trees, it was perfect for golden house!

Downtown Columbia’s mix of scenic spots and lively atmosphere made this engagement session a dream to capture. If you’re envisioning an engagement session that’s modern, romantic, and full of personality, Columbia’s downtown is the perfect place to start!
