They met while both working for a local photographer, then a year later took a crazy leap and opened their own business together. A dream that somedays they were scared to even let themselves imagine because it seemed so far out of reach? It’s become their beautiful reality. Together they’ve fused as a team and created a life they never dreamed possible. Together they’re chasing big dreams and creating work they’re proud of. Together they use their marriage and presence on a wedding day to encourage and inspire their couples to strive to love each other more deeply with each new day, and to embrace every adventure in the journey they’re embarking on hand in hand… together.

It’s been more than seven years since they soaked in every moment of their own wedding day on the sandy beaches of Hilton Head Island, and in the years since they’ve welcome their two sweet kids into the world. But for this evening they put the busyness of life on pause for just one moment so they could set their marriage first and soak in the beauty of right where they are.

I so loved that Richard + Tara took time out of their crazy busy wedding season to record this time in their lives. I adored my time with these two and always find it to be such an incredible honor when fellow photographers trust you to capture their own memories. Thank you Richard and Tara for the privilege! So much love to you both! Xoxo
