Based in Columbia, TN, we specialize in elegant photography for intimate events and wedding weekends that celebrate love in its most authentic form.
We believe every couple deserves to be reminded why they first chose each other, every single day.
Weddings are more than events; they’re heartfelt gatherings where dear friends and loved ones come together to celebrate something truly sacred. With a personal, documentary approach, I capture the moments that matter most—honest, emotional, and unforgettable.
Blending the soft nostalgia of film with the clarity of digital, my work preserves your story with timeless, elegant images. Whether you're hosting a grand celebration or an intimate ceremony, I take time to understand your unique connection so your photos reflect not just how your day looked, but how it felt.

Hi! I’m Charis—like Paris but with a "K." Photography began as an act of play during my middle school years—just a fun way to pass the time and keep my curious mind engaged. But what started as a spontaneous hobby quickly grew into a passion that’s stuck with me ever since. In 2010, I began sharing my photos on Facebook, and that’s when everything changed. Friends noticed, encouraged me, and unknowingly helped shape this dream into something bigger—a creative outlet turned community. Over the years, I’ve fallen in love with capturing the raw, real, and often vulnerable sides of people. Taking pictures of someone and showing them the beauty they carry is one of my favorite things in the world. I’m especially drawn to the joy and emotion that surrounds a wedding day—there’s just something magical about the love, the details, and the once-in-a-lifetime kind of moments. To me, every photo is more than just a snapshot—it’s a story, a feeling, a piece of life preserved in all its unfiltered glory. Whether the moment is big or small, joyful or tender, I’m here to capture it—exactly as it is.
