At Sacred Vows, we believe your wedding isn’t a production — it’s a lived experience. It’s filled with quiet nerves, spontaneous laughter, fleeting details, and raw emotion that deserve to be preserved with care and intention. Whether you're getting married in the heart of Atlanta, along the coast in Charleston, or somewhere in between, our work is rooted in storytelling that’s real, timeless, and deeply personal.

We’re a small, dedicated team based in Atlanta, Georgia and Charleston, South Carolina, serving couples across the Southeast — including Columbia, Savannah, and surrounding areas. Sacred Vows is led by two specialists who work as one: Carly Forrest, our lead photographer, and Thomas Forman, our lead filmmaker. With backgrounds in documentary photography and cinematic storytelling, we come together with a shared purpose — to create honest, artful wedding imagery that reflects your day exactly as it felt.

We’re not just vendors who show up on the day — we genuinely care about the people we work with. We take time to get to know our couples on a personal level, building real relationships that often turn into friendships. Understanding who you are, what matters to you, and what your love looks and feels like helps us tell your story with the respect and accuracy it deserves. When we show up on your wedding day, it doesn’t feel like strangers holding cameras — it feels like trusted friends documenting something meaningful.

Our approach is intentional, observant, and intuitive. We don’t over-direct or interrupt the flow of your wedding — instead, we match your energy and move with the rhythm of the day. Whether that means being a calm, grounding presence or jumping in with enthusiasm, we’re there to support the experience, not shape it. We focus on the subtle, unscripted moments — the deep breath before the vows, the lingering hug with your grandmother, the stolen glances across a crowded room.

Every couple we work with receives a fully personalized experience, from our first consultation to your final gallery and handcrafted highlight film. We specialize in documentary-style wedding photography and emotional wedding videography for couples who value connection, meaning, and the kind of imagery that feels like you.

Whether you're planning an intimate backyard ceremony in Atlanta, a seaside wedding on Folly Beach, or an elegant celebration in downtown Charleston, we’re here to help preserve your story forever.

We’d love to help you tell your story.
