Brielle & Galen
Our Favorite Charleston Places
Shem Creek Boardwalk & Marina
The spot of our first date, a paddleboarding adventure, and our engagement could not be more beautiful or more representative of the South Carolina Lowcountry!
Magnolia Plantation and Gardens
Not only is Magnolia Plantation and Gardens a gorgeous historical site, but it is also home to a very talkative peacock we love to try to find when we visit!
Isle of Palms Beach
Out of all the beaches around, this is one of our favorites! Galen always enjoys searching for shark's teeth after a storm.
The Historic Charleston City Market
Open 9:30a-5:00p daily (with a Night Market from 6:30p-10:30p on Fridays and Saturdays). Explore the many artisans and their goods at this historic open air market including handmade sweetgrass baskets!
Caw Caw Interpretive Center
This hidden gem of a park is full of wildlife and the perfect place to spot some alligators, bald eagles, and other critters!
Fort Moultrie
Take a tour of one of the forts that played a major role in winning the Revolutionary War. Fun Fact: Galen was promoted from First Lieutenant to Captain at Fort Moultrie!
Morris Island Lighthouse
This was the location of one of our very first dates! The lighthouse first started operating in 1876 and is off the coast of Folly Beach. There are some very large driftwood trees on the beach nearby which are perfect photography subjects!
