It was a pleasure photographing Watchhouse live at Tabernacle. The duo of Andrew Marlin and Emily Frantz have built a devoted following through their warm harmonies, thoughtful songwriting, and a sound that blends folk, roots, and bluegrass influences into something beautifully timeless.
Their music fills a room in a quiet but powerful way, drawing the audience into every lyric and melody. Capturing that atmosphere through the lens is exactly why I love documenting live music.
