Our Mission

what matters most.

Creating honest, heirloom-worthy wedding images that preserve the truth of your day. The people, the feelings, the fleeting moments—so they can be remembered, revisited, and shared for generations.

How we see, create, and show up for every couple.

Our Values

Truth over perfection

We value real moments. the double chins, the belly laughs, the windblown hair. What’s true is always more beautiful than what’s staged.

Connection & Humanity

We’re here for the human side of wedding photography—the connections, the small gestures, the people who made you who you are.

legacy & Meaning

These images aren’t just for now; they’re for the people who will hold them in the future. We document with that responsibility in mind.

Joy & playfulness

Weddings are full of life. We make space for fun, laughter, silliness, and all those small surprises that become your favorite memories.

The stories behind the storytellers

Charlie Grantham

Founder & lead photographer

Charlie has been documenting life for as long as she can remember. What began as a way to make sense of the world slowly became her calling: noticing people, gathering small truths, and turning fleeting moments into something that lasts. A writer at heart (her first novel is almost finished, and her second is already underway), Charlie approaches weddings the way she approaches stories: with curiosity, warmth, and a deep love for the little details.

Originally from New Orleans and now settled in New England with her husband and creative partner, Nate, she brings a calm presence, a cinematic eye, and a genuine care for the people in front of her.

Nate Horton

Super 8 Videographer & assistant photographer

Nate has always been drawn to creativity, first through fine art and painting, then photography, and eventually the warm, imperfect magic of Super 8 film. On wedding days, Nate brings a grounded, observant presence that puts people at ease without trying.

He’s originally from Kansas, but New England has become home over the past four years, where he splits his time between wedding weekends and his weekday work as a physical therapist. He also runs a fitness coaching business for people with ADHD. Much like photography, it centers on helping people feel comfortable, capable, and at ease being themselves.

Seeing your day the way a storyteller would.

A writer’s eye.
A photographer’s instinct.
A deep care for the story you’re living.

Our approach blends fine-art direction with quiet observation. Typically, about 70% of the images are documentary, while 30% are directed. We try to offer enough gentle guidance and structure to help you feel at ease, while always leaving room for real life to unfold.

In Their Words

“You can really feel how much she cares about her clients when working with her. Charlie’s eye for photography is nothing short of incredible. Every photo feels intentional and artful, yet completely natural. She captured the emotion and the joy beautifully. We can’t stop looking at the photos.”

– Julia B.
