(not their official engagement photos—it’s just the title that makes the most sense)
Jenni and I found each other through the South Carolina chapter of Girls Who Hike. The group gives us the opportunity to share our social media handles, so we started following each other’s photography accounts on Instagram. We were both trying to get stamps for all 47 state parks in South Carolina, we both love Harry Potter, and we both love dogs. At some point, we discussed the possibility of meeting up to swap photos. We live on opposite sides of the state, so it would have to be when one of us made a trip.
Eventually, Dan and I planned a trip to see the parks along the coast in October, so I told Jenni. She said that Edisto Beach State Park was the closest to her, which was perfect because Dan, Athena, and I would be camping there for two nights. Jenni said that Edisto Beach was considered the best place in South Carolina to watch the sunset, and it did not disappoint! (I think it’s on par with Caesars Head, but those are two very different parts of the state.) While it wasn’t summer anymore, the gnats and mosquitos are very much alive and well along the coast, so we didn’t have a whole lot of photos where we were standing still. At one point, the colors in the sky were so beautiful, and a random guy yelled to us to look at the water. There were dolphin pods moving across the horizon!
I’m so happy we had the opportunity to take some photos on the perfect day at such a beautiful place. I hope you love these photos of Jenni and Jack at Edisto Beach!

My name is Christine (Scott) Gow and I’m an elopement photographer based out of Greenville, South Carolina. I’m a wife and a beagle mom. The three of us have visited beautiful places in every corner of South Carolina, to include all 48 of our state parks. Sometimes we wear hiking boots, sometimes we wear dress shoes, and sometimes we’re barefoot in the surf.
One thing I love about South Carolina is that it’s not just the beaches and colorful houses that you imagine when you picture it. Whether you’re looking for mountains, beaches, or anything in between; I can help you find the perfect place for the two of you and make it as smooth of a day as possible. No matter how you two choose to spend your day, I’m happy you’re doing it the way that you want.
I can’t wait to meet you!
