Indie Summer Picnic
E-Shoot
♥ ♥ ♥
As seen in this {Engagement Shoot} Rustic Broadbeach Picnic, outdoor picnics are the perfect setting for a couple or engagement shoot, offering a natural backdrop for some gorgeous pre-wedding pictures!
Engaged couple, Micah and Amanda chose to celebrate their upcoming wedding with an Indie e-shoot beneath the warmth of the summer sunshine. Captured by the fab Jeanne Mitchum, their e-shoot was romantic, yet edgy with photo-props, poker face poses and lovey-dovey moments. Gather inspiration from their engagement session from outdoors over a picnic blanket to inside over a lovely cup of cuteness!
Micah and Amanda’s Love Story
How it all began: Micah and Amanda met in high school, but were only best friends. During graduate school, Micah invited Amanda to the beach to surf one afternoon, and they both quickly realized they wanted more than a friendship. A Summer of flirting led to a Fall of perfect dates, singing to Coldplay while driving over the Cooper River Bridge, Greek food in Marion Square, and endless surprises. Micah knew this was the girl, but he also knew he would have to be clever as Amanda was not easily surprised. He planned a typical evening for them – picked up takeout from their favorite restaurant, took her to their favorite park at sunset. Amanda thought nothing of the night, but was super confused as to why Micah kept carrying this strange little bag with him. The church bells of Charleston chimed for 7 o’clock. Amanda turned around, and Micah was on one knee. That strange little bag held a perfect yellow diamond!
Indie Summer Picnic Style: The couple looked natural dressed in casual wear with Amanda donning a rocking pair of cowboy boots, which perfected her indie picnic style.
