As a wedding photographer drawn to natural light and romantic storytelling, […]
Some stories deserve to be told slowly. This blog is all about an in-home couple session I photographed in Charlotte, North Carolina—a final farewell to a couple’s first home. Two newlyweds invited me to document their story, one last time before handing over the keys. You may recognize them from their Charlottesville wedding last October, […]
