Rooted in Columbia, TN, we specialize in elegant photography for intimate events and wedding weekends that honor love in its most authentic form.

We believe every couple deserves to be reminded—day after day—why they first chose each other.

Weddings aren’t just events; they’re deeply personal moments shared with those who matter most. Surrounded by dear friends and loved ones, your celebration becomes a sacred gathering—one worth preserving with care. Through a personal, documentary-style approach, I capture honest, emotional moments that tell the full story of your day.

My work blends the soft, romantic tones of film with the crisp clarity of digital to create timeless images. Whether your setting is grand or quietly intimate, I take the time to understand your connection so your gallery reflects not just how your day looked, but how it felt—elegant, meaningful, and entirely yours.

Wonderful photographer!

Charis is a wonderful photographer with a timeless, romantic and vintage style! It helps so much that she is the sweetest person. Her personality is disarming and really helps put you at ease as the subject. I would absolutely rehire her to follow us from bridal portraits and wedding to baby and family portraits ❤️

A Natural Talent!

Needed some headshots as a realtor in the Memphis area! I typically don’t like to be photographed but Charis is a natural at making you be at ease and capturing great poses. She talks to you while she snaps- I just naturally smiled! Love her creativity and love for photography! If you need a photographer who is totally present and great- she’s an awesome choice!

Charis uses the light in magical ways!

Charis is a fantastic photographer! I've hired her twice and I am beyond thrilled with how professional, prepared, kind and creative she is. She also listens to ideas that we had and put her personal spin on those ideas. The proofs were sent in a very timely manner, faster than I expected.

I also really like the fact that Charis often uses FILM over digital. And her use of lighting is magical!

I would (and have) refer Charis for weddings, births and everything in-between. My wedding was 40 years ago, so Charis did not photograph my wedding (haha I wish she had!!!), but the attached photo was taken for an art show in March 2024.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
