Hannah & Dylan

Hannah and Dylan’s engagement session moved from the character-filled streets of Downtown Charleston to Pitt Street Bridge in Mount Pleasant. With multiple looks, changing scenery, and plenty of room to simply be together, Jules created cinematic, nostalgic photographs shaped by their natural connection rather than a predetermined list of poses.

Downtown Charleston Engagement

From colorful Charleston streets to quiet Lowcountry views

Downtown Charleston gave Hannah and Dylan’s engagement session a playful, polished beginning, with the city setting complementing their personal style and different looks. Rather than directing every interaction, Jules paid attention to their body language and the way they naturally moved together, allowing the photographs to feel considered while still reflecting their actual relationship.

Downtown Charleston Engagement Photos

Downtown Charleston offers engagement photography a mix of historic streets, colorful architecture, and distinctly Southern character. Jules photographs couples throughout Downtown Charleston and the surrounding Lowcountry with an editorial eye, using the setting, personal style, and natural movement to create images with atmosphere while keeping the relationship at the center of the story.

Why We love this venue

Downtown Charleston works especially well for couples who want their engagement photographs to have variety and a strong sense of place. Rather than relying on one static backdrop, the session can evolve as you move through the city. For Hannah and Dylan, that variety complemented their styling while giving Jules opportunities to respond to different surroundings without losing the relaxed feeling of the session.

Downtown Charleston Engagement Session

Pitt Street Bridge brought a different rhythm to the second half of Hannah and Dylan’s session. Moving from Downtown Charleston to the Lowcountry setting allowed the photographs to shift visually while their natural connection kept the gallery cohesive. Jules let each location influence the imagery differently, rather than trying to recreate the same photographs against a new backdrop.

Jules photographs engagements and couples throughout Downtown Charleston, Mount Pleasant, Pitt Street Bridge, and the surrounding Lowcountry. Her approach combines cinematic composition with gentle, responsive direction, reading how each couple naturally interacts instead of forcing a set of poses. The result is engagement photography that feels visually considered while remaining personal to the people within it.

Charleston SC Engagement Photographer

Weddings are at the heart of my work, alongside engagements, proposals, couples, maternity, family, and lifestyle photography. 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.

She captured the feeling of that chapter of my life.

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.

         “Her photography style is dreamy, true-to-color, and somehow looks like what your eyes saw but even better, the perfect mix of vintage and modern. 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."
