Brothers & Sisters

Oct 26, 2024

I spent a lot of time with Avery & Avi during their wedding season in the fall of 2024. With each gathering I attended & photographed, I noticed a brotherhood & sisterhood marked by steadiness and reliability. Arms wrapped around each other, hands interlocked, overflowing with pride— their siblings were really, really there. In the newlywed Mangums’ most tender moments of excitement, anticipation, and stillness, none other than a brother or sister was beside them.
