Jenny & Noah

Jenny and Noah’s Boone Hall engagement story began with a surprise proposal on a glowing November day in Mount Pleasant. Against the historic Lowcountry setting, Jules photographed the anticipation, the moment everything changed, and Jenny’s completely genuine reaction—creating cinematic, nostalgic images grounded in the emotion of what was actually unfolding.

A surprise Proposal at Boone Hall framed by the warmth of fall

There was no need to manufacture emotion here. Jenny had no idea the proposal was coming, which gave Jules the opportunity to photograph the moment exactly as it happened. The warm November light and historic Boone Hall setting added atmosphere, but it was Jenny’s reaction and the connection between the two of them that made the photographs feel so memorable.

Boone Hall Proposal Photography

Located in Mount Pleasant near Charleston, Boone Hall offers a historic Lowcountry setting for engagement and proposal photography. Its recognizable landscape, Southern character, and changing seasonal light create plenty of visual interest while still leaving room for the couple to remain the focus. Jenny and Noah’s November proposal was especially beautiful in the warm fall glow.

Why We love this venue

Boone Hall has the kind of character that naturally gives photographs atmosphere. The historic setting and romantic Lowcountry landscape create a strong sense of place without requiring every image to feel formal. For engagements and proposals, that means there’s room to create something visually beautiful while still keeping the experience, connection, and emotion at the center.

A proposal only happens once, and the real reaction is something you can’t direct afterward. Jules photographs these moments by staying attentive without taking over, preserving the surprise as it unfolds and then allowing space for the excitement that follows. For Jenny and Noah, that meant their Boone Hall photographs held both the beauty of the setting and the genuine emotion of becoming engaged.

Across every story, I’m interested in the same things: genuine connection, personal style, meaningful settings, and photographs that feel specific to the people in them—not an idea of what the occasion is supposed to look like.

Photography has always been part of my story

meet jules Celio

From a young age, I was inspired by my grandfather, whose love of photography and travel shaped the way I learned to see the world. His home was filled with cameras and photographs from faraway places, each holding a story of its own. That early sense of curiosity still influences the way I photograph today—looking closely, noticing what might otherwise pass by, and preserving images that become more meaningful with time.

Now based in Charleston, I photograph weddings and meaningful seasons throughout the Lowcountry, including Downtown Charleston, Mount Pleasant, Daniel Island, Johns Island, Kiawah Island, and the surrounding coast. I also travel beyond Charleston for celebrations and stories that take me elsewhere, bringing that same curiosity and attention to every place and person I photograph.

What sets her apart is her intentionality—she truly cares about the people she photographs, not just the final images. I’m so grateful to have these memories captured so beautifully and couldn’t recommend her more."

Her black and white photos are truly some of the best we have seen.

When we looked through our gallery, we remembered our day exactly as it happened because nothing felt staged. She captured everything so naturally as it unfolded. And her black and white photos? Truly some of the best we’ve ever seen."
