A Dance Between Dreams: Capturing the Extraordinary in the Authentic
“A Dance Between Dreams” by Savannah Wedding Photographer Charles Maring
The Art of Timeless Wedding Photography: Capturing the Extraordinary in the Authentic
As a wedding photographer, my role is more than just capturing images; it’s about preserving moments that transcend time—moments that are real, unscripted, and deeply moving. Every wedding I photograph tells a unique story, and sometimes, there are moments so magical, so fleeting, that they become etched in the hearts of everyone present. A Dance Between Dreams is one such moment.
Featured in Inside Weddings Magazine, this black-and-white photograph encapsulates everything I strive for in my work—an honest, cinematic approach to storytelling that reveals the depth of emotion and connection in the most extraordinary way. The image captures a Cirque du Soleil acrobat, suspended in midair, moving with fluid grace as the bride and groom watch in the background, completely in awe of the experience unfolding before them. Their hands brush, their eyes widen, and in that single moment, the reality of their wedding day feels like a dream.
The Art of Seeing Beyond the Expected
Photography, at its core, is about anticipation—seeing a moment before it happens and being ready to capture it in its purest form. My approach is not about manufacturing perfect images but about allowing perfect moments to reveal themselves. A Dance Between Dreams is a testament to this philosophy. I didn’t pose the couple, nor did I direct their reaction. Instead, I immersed myself in the energy of the moment, attuned to their emotions and the spectacle unfolding above them. This is the essence of my Signature style—graceful, thoughtful, and profoundly real.
The Power of Black and White Photography
There’s something timeless about black and white imagery. By stripping away color, the focus shifts to expression, movement, and emotion. It’s in the contrast—the interplay of light and shadow—that the soul of a moment is revealed. In A Dance Between Dreams, the lack of color heightens the couple’s reaction, allowing the viewer to step into their shoes and feel the wonder they experienced in that instant.
Authenticity Over Perfection
In an era where wedding photography is often heavily curated, I believe in the beauty of authenticity. Weddings are not just about flawless décor and posed portraits; they are about the way a groom exhales when he sees his bride for the first time, the unrestrained laughter of guests, the tears that well up unexpectedly, and the spontaneous moments of joy that can never be recreated. This is what I seek to capture—not just what a wedding looks like, but what it feels like.
