Charlotte engagement photographer
Engagement photos that feel like the two of you.
I'm Delani McKee, a film and digital photographer based in Charlotte, North Carolina. I photograph engagement and couples sessions the way they actually unfold — walking, laughing, leaning in — instead of a list of stiff poses.
Every session is shot on a mix of 35mm film and digital, so you get the grain and warmth of film alongside clean digital frames. Engagement and couples sessions are $400 per shoot, and most run one to two hours.

water and golden light north of the city
Your own home
the most personal option of all
Some gardens and parks charge a photo fee or ask for a permit — we'll check the rules for your spot while we plan.
Good to know
Frequently asked
How much is an engagement session in Charlotte?
Engagement and couples sessions are $400 per shoot. Most sessions run one to two hours and are photographed on both 35mm film and digital.
Where should we take engagement photos in Charlotte?
Popular choices include Freedom Park, Uptown and Romare Bearden Park, NoDa, Wing Haven, McGill Rose Garden and Lake Norman — but the best location is one that means something to you. I'm happy to suggest spots once I know the feel you want.
Do you shoot film or digital?
Both. Sessions mix 35mm film and digital, so you get the texture of film alongside the reliability of digital.
We're awkward in front of a camera — is that okay?
Completely. I photograph sessions in a documentary way: I give light direction, then let you walk, talk and react to each other. Real moments make better photos than perfect poses.
