Clemson Engagement | Alex & Ian

Alex and Ian were engaged at Clemson University!

They are both Clemson alumni and live together in Boston now, but they were visiting Alex’s family at their lake house at Lake Keowee for the 4th of July. Alex and Ian were on their way to dinner and stopped to walk in President’s Park. Ian stopped at the rotunda and got down on one knee. The legend says that a couple who walks hand-in-hand through President’s Park will be together forever, so it’s almost as big of a step as the proposal itself! Apparently Ian had forgotten about the legend until Alex asked him if that was why he chose that spot. Alex said she was completely caught off guard, and when Ian pointed me out to her, she gave me a big hug!

Even though it was one of the hottest and most humid days we’ve had in a long time, summer at Clemson has its perks. There were barely any people, so nobody was watching when Ian proposed, and we could stand in the street without worrying about cars. The flowers in front of Old Main are purple and bright orange in the summer, which is my favorite because it’s the closest to Clemson’s colors. Since it hadn’t rained in more than a week, the Reflection Pond was super clear and reflective, making for some really cool photos. After we finished taking photos, Ian and Alex went to dinner, where Alex didn’t know that her friends and family would be waiting for her!

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. We love finding new outdoor places to visit, but we also love hanging out on the couch and watching Pixar.

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!
