Hi, I'm Kate Thornton. My team and I take candid photos in a timeless style that you and your family will cherish for generations. We have been photographing in Charleston, SC for over 20 years. Our style of photography is photojournalistic and much more candid and "in the moment" than a traditional photographer. We prefer to stay in the background and not intrude on real moments when possible, seamlessly documenting timeless moments at your wedding or family gathering.
