Approach

The moments between moments

While others chase perfect poses, I'm drawn to the quiet spaces where real love lives. The way you look at each other when you think no one's watching. The gentle squeeze of hands during your vows. The laughter that bubbles up naturally as you walk back down the aisle as newlyweds.

With eight years documenting Charleston's most beautiful celebrations, I've learned that the most treasured photographs aren't the ones where everyone's looking at the camera—they're the ones where you're completely lost in each other.
