An Adventurous Engagement Session at Carolina Country Weddings and Events

Nestled among the woods of Mount Pleasant, NC, Carolina Country Weddings and Events is known for its stunning Wedding in the Woods ceremony site, sprawling garden patio, and warm, rustic reception hall, the kind of space that makes every couple who tours it fall instantly in love. That's exactly what happened when Aaliyah and Jonathan first walked the grounds, and it's where their engagement session with Levar Hage Photography came to life.

The Venue: Carolina Country Weddings and Events

From the moment couples step onto the property, it's easy to see why Carolina Country Weddings and Events has become such a sought-after Mount Pleasant venue. The outdoor Wedding in the Woods ceremony space offers a naturally romantic, tree-lined backdrop unlike anywhere else in the area. Just steps away, the garden patio provides a softer, more intimate setting, perfect for golden hour portraits, while the reception hall rounds things out with a warm, rustic charm built for celebration.

For Aaliyah and Jonathan, the space sold itself, but the staff sealed the deal. As Aaliyah put it:

"We chose Carolina Country Weddings because of the beautiful outdoor setting for a Wedding in the Woods Ceremony. We were in love with the entire setup and could only dream what it would look like on our wedding day! The garden patio and the reception hall also had a part in us picking that location, but the biggest grab of all was the kind and helpful staff that walked with us on tour and answered any and all questions."

The Session: Candid and Playful

Set against that backdrop, the energy of the day matched the setting perfectly. Aaliyah described the vibe as "candid and playful," with moments where she and Jonathan completely forgot the camera was there, melting into each other instead. That's the goal of every session: light, fun, and full of real, unscripted laughs from start to finish.

Why They Chose Levar Hage Photography

Aaliyah and Jonathan first saw Levar's work featured at the venue itself, along with a few other spots, and connected with the style right away. What stood out just as much was reading about how Levar got his start in photography; being open about that journey resonated with them, and that connection carried straight through into the session.

One Word: Adventurous

That's how Aaliyah summed up the day, and it shows in every frame captured across the property's ceremony woods, garden patio, and grounds.

Advice for Future Couples

"Levar makes the whole session seem so easy and playful, even for people who are not very photogenic. The entire session was full of laughs, which opened the door to a lot of beautiful candid moments between my partner and I. If you want a photographer that will capture your inspo pictures and still keep the energy between you and your partner shining through, Levar is your guy."

We can't wait to see what their wedding day brings on October 14, 2027, back at Carolina Country Weddings and Events. Stay tuned!
