A Summer Engagement Session at Hotel Domestique

Hotel Domestique is a venue that comes to life in the Summer and it certainly showed off for Laynie & Will’s session! The vibrant trees, clear skies, and Blue Ridge Mountains created the perfect contrast against the neutral architecture. This one-of-a-kind venue just outside Greenville, South Carolina is one of our favorite places to photograph our couples, and we love every opportunity to capture a session or wedding at Hotel Domestique. Laynie & Will’s calm and laid-back personalities made their session feel effortless. They embraced the photo visions & enjoyed being together, which is the perfect combination for authentic photos!

One of the things we love about Hotel Domestique is the variety of scenery you can get without ever having to go far. The European-inspired architecture and surrounding greenery make the front of the property just as beautiful as the back patio!

Laynie also brought the fashion to the shoot and we loved it. The blue & green hues paired perfectly with the venue scenery!

Another element of sessions that fuels our creativity is the opportunity for perspective. With multiple staircases, arched doorways, and the iconic fountain, there are new angles and unique composition everywhere!
