It is my honor to capture the purest and most sincere moments in peoples’ lives. Not only do I take pride in providing my clients with stunning images, I do so in a way that is always professional and engaging. Weddings don’t always go exactly as planned. Sometimes there is bad weather, poor lighting, or the timeline just gets derailed. It happens! My clients know that they never need to worry. Dealing with surprises is second nature to me, and my career as a seasoned photographer allows me to never skip a beat. The details of your special day will always be captured beautifully.

Robert is an amazing photographer that exceeded all expectations. He made our friends and families feel at ease while taking genuine pictures. He captured every moment with beautiful pictures that I will cherish forever. Thanks for everything!

Hello! We’re Hunter & Sarah — high school sweethearts, ocean enthusiasts and professional wedding & portrait photographers. We’ve been married for more than two years, but have been together since the 11th grade. The only thing more important to us than making new friends and our weekly date night is our faith! Since picking up our first camera almost a decade ago, we’ve had a gift for making others feel confident and comfortable in front of the camera. We deliver incredible images, but more importantly we give our clients an incredible experience — every step of the way.

I used Hunter & Sarah for a family photoshoot for my parents anniversary. Most of us struggle in front of the camera but these two made us laugh and thoroughly enjoy the experience. The pictures are amazing and now displayed all throughout my parents home! I highly recommend this sweet couple.

Hi! I'm Brittany, and I'm a photographer, painter, graphic designer in Charlottesville, Virginia. My passion in life is creating art that elevates story and human connection, and weddings are a unique crossroads in life where those two things unfold in powerful ways. Although I am primarily a photographer in the wedding industry, capturing the moments big and small, I also do floral design, invitation design, and keepsake paintings for couples, and therefore have a unique understanding of and appreciation for all that goes making a wedding special and keeping those memories preserved for many years to come.

Awarded Best of Zola
Brittany Fan is a true renaissance woman. I have admired her eye for beauty and ability to capture it through art and photography since I first met her at the University of Virginia. I still can't believe I had the privilege of having her photograph my wedding! Brittany thrives under pressure and that was certainly evident in how she handled the jam-packed shot list and day of schedule I gave her. It was a breath of fresh air to experience her calm demeanor in the midst of the craziness of wedding planning. It is so true that photography is an investment and it is a worthy one. I am thrilled with how our photos turned out and know my family will treasure them for generations. I would highly recommend Brittany Fan Art and Photography to anyone looking to capture images of their loved ones or a special event; you will not be disappointed!

Awarded Best of Zola
The quality of wedding photography is telling when more than three years later you're stopped by one of your wedding guests who not only remembers your wedding photos, but also out of nowhere praises how wonderful your photos turned out. This just happened to my husband and I and it was solely because we chose Aaron Watson Photography for our wedding photos. In addition to the superior quality of the photography itself was the pleasure of working with Aaron and his assistant photographers. They went above and beyond and were crucial in helping us plan a realistic wedding timeline and other parts of the day we wouldn't have thought of ourselves, such as building in 15 minutes just for my husband and I after the ceremony before we got swept away by the night's events. Through working with him, I'm proud to say we have gained a lifelong friend in Aaron. We highly recommend Aaron for any photography needs, wedding, engagement, family photos and more.

Amanda Adams Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves Charlottesville, VA

At the heart of my process, I believe in being a calming presence who gives you room to be the most genuine version of yourself in front of my camera, gently guiding you with prompts while capturing sophisticated portraits and true moments. As a bride, you know how fleeting the moments of your wedding day will pass you by. So rather than worrying if you’re missing any of it you value being present, and will hire a photographer who will allow you to do just that. This trust grants you the ability to live in the moment while we’re documenting them for you telling the story of your relationships with a gentle authenticity.

Amanda came to us highly recommended and we scheduled the only day that worked well with our schedules. Unfortunately for us, the day was less than picturesque. A dense fog covered the area and I thought there was nothing that could be done except moving the shoot inside. Boy, was I wrong. Amanda has the artistic eye that I clearly lack, because what I saw as gloomy, Amanda saw as artistic. We went through our shoot without a hitch and, a moment with the love of my life, artistically frozen in time, hangs on a canvass in my living room for all who visit to see. I’d recommend her final product and thorough process to anybody.

**If you are interested in booking me, please contact me via my website or Facebook to reach me! As I do not respond here** Hey! My name is Chelsi! I have lived in the Charlottesville area all of my life. I found my passion for photography in high school while working on yearbook staff. I never thought I would come to enjoy photography and the amazing people I photograph so much! I work full time as a Radiologic Technologist at a local hospital. I perform CT Scans and X-rays for patients there. My main passion in life is making people smile and to travel the world.

From the moment we met Chelsi, my husband and I knew we were in good hands. Her warm, guiding communication style immediately put us at ease and made us feel comfortable throughout the entire wedding day. Chelsi's professional yet funny demeanor helped calm my nerves and she provided helpful suggestions for poses and positioning that resulted in stunning, natural-looking photos. Having worked with Chelsi for around 4 years, I can attest to her incredible talent and ability to make you feel like family. Her work is truly top-notch, with photos that are both creative and timeless. Chelsi was open to all of our ideas and exceeded our expectations, delivering a wonderful collection of memories that we will cherish forever.

Liza Lavine Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Their communication throughout the process was prompt, clear and friendly, putting us at ease every step of the way. The quality of their work was exceptional - the price was worth every penny, as we felt we received complete value for the results. Liza and her team made us feel very comfortable, even for someone like myself who is not usually at ease in front of the camera. The engagement shoot they did with us beforehand made the day of the wedding that much better, as we were already accustomed to their style and approach. Liza works exceptionally well with people who are not naturally comfortable in front of the camera, and she has an incredible eye for detail that really shines through in the final photos.

Jade took the time to really understand what I was looking for, and it showed in every single photo. I was blown away by how quickly I received sneak peeks, not just for the wedding, but also for our engagement session! Both the wedding and engagement albums exceeded my expectations and captured genuine, beautiful moments in the most perfect way. If you want someone behind the camera who genuinely cares about you, makes you feel at ease, and captures your most meaningful moments so beautifully, Jade is the one.

When Annie and I booked him, we had full intentions to have him do our wedding. We put down the deposit, and then things went sideways financially. We unfortunately had to go back to him and cancel. My fiancé was devastated, so I reached out to him, and asked if he could do a quick hour shoot, like an engagement session. He was very quick to reply, and get us on the schedule. He was so kind and understanding, I truly wish we could have him for our wedding, but I am grateful he was willing to work with us. I know my wife-to-be and I are going to cherish those pictures forever.
