“When working with couples, I find balance is really important. The way I show up on wedding day is gentle, adaptable, guiding and supportive. I know when to step in, when to step out and how to match the energy of a moment. I bring a calm, positive presence to the spaces I’m photographing and I want it to feel like a friend is documenting your day. I’m never intrusive, but always present.”

Chaise values editorial portraits as much as joy-filled blurry images and unrehearsed moments. Her work is both timeless and creative, intimate and expansive. It’s often quiet and simple, but it welcomes revelry all the same.

It’s an ever-changing and artistic approach to a wedding day that focuses on feeling in its many forms. It moves away from standard posing and rigid timelines.

Her style is influenced by organic elements and natural tones. This stems from growing up between coastal Florida and the mountains of North Carolina while most of her adult life has been spent in a major US city. You’ll find a bit of tension between the urban and the outdoors in her work.

Chaise currently documents a limited number of elevated gatherings with Helaine from coast to coast each year.
