Charlottesville, VA

  • Starts at $5,400

Lucy Jalin Photography is a boutique wedding photographer serving couples throughout Charlottesville and Central Virginia. I photograph weddings with a focus on genuine connection, meaningful relationships, and the moments that naturally unfold throughout the day. My approach is calm, thoughtful, and unobtrusive, with gentle direction when you need it and space to simply be present with the people you love. I create artful, true-to-life photographs that preserve not only how your wedding looked, but how it felt—and the people who made it meaningful.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Lucy was by far one of our favorite wedding vendors! Professional, personable, flexible, and abundantly helpful (especially given the crazy ups and downs of planning a 2020 wedding!), Lucy produced beautiful pictures of our wedding that kept in mind everything we had asked for, from our personal style to the needs and preferences of our various family members and friends during what was an especially tricky season. Not only that, Lucy even helped with the event planning side of things too by creating day-of schedule options to help us organize. Lucy's warm, friendly presence had everyone smiling, and we received multiple compliments from friends on the way she blended and helped to capture the day as it moved along, calmly handling any hiccups that arose. My husband and I are still saying, "We love Lucy!"”

When working with her in person, she is always calm and in control, which I think is essential when working in the wedding business.

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.

“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.”

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 is a perfect choice to capture all of your best moments, no matter the occasion! Every vendor and the bride and groom appreciated her generous demeanor and skill set. She is a very nice person, too, that continues to care long after the contract ends!”

As soon as the music began playing and the bride walked through the doors to come down the aisle, the groom immediately was hit with tears (the type that every bride hopes for). I saw from the corner of my eye that his mom turned around and instead of watching the bride walk down the aisle like everyone else, she watched her son’s reaction in tears. This is why I fell in love with being a wedding photographer.

I’m Stephen Lawson, a wedding photographer and videographer based in Richmond, VA. I photograph weddings, elopements, and engagement sessions, from courthouse ceremonies and intimate backyard vows to full-day celebrations. My approach is relaxed and unscripted. I’ll guide you when it helps, but mostly I want you to enjoy your day while I capture how it actually felt. Every couple gets a personalized consultation before the wedding, a sneak peek within 72 hours, and a private online gallery. Most of my wedding packages include an engagement session, and I’m always glad to photograph your family as it grows after the wedding.

“We used Stephen Lawson as our wedding photographer and we were beyond impressed! We had previously had Stephen capture a fall photoshoot and photograph an engagement session. Each time we’ve had Stephen as our photographer he’s demonstrated a flawless ability to capture great photos, maintain professionalism, and work well with photo subjects and initiate posing. Stephen was able to photograph our wedding perfectly. He was on time to get us getting ready and we were able to add-on a second photographer easily for the wedding ceremony. Stephen worked within a budget and was very amenable when we had ideas for types of shots or photo/video setups. Utilizing Stephen’s photography services we were able to get full coverage of the day and come out of our wedding with a plethora of photos that we not only enjoyed taking but that we’ll cherish for years to come. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer with more attention to detail and an eye for great shots. We also enjoyed being able to have 35mm and medium format film photos to take away from our event with his film photography add-on. All in all we were exceedingly pleased with Stephen and so were our guests and wedding party. We’d definitely hire Stephen again for a family photoshoot or another event. We couldn’t be happier with the quality of our photo gallery from Stephen and his skill and professionalism.”

“Jade is PHENOMENAL! I has switched to Jade from another photographer and it was the best decision we made! She’s so professional and easy going. We were super nervous about our engagement and the wedding but Jade always made us feel at ease. She’s great with directing us for poses (we had no idea what we were doing!).”

I'm Crystal Vandegrift, owner of Crystal Image Photography. I am a Central Virginia Wedding Photographer and travel nationwide for weddings. I started my photography business at the age of 21. Yes, wedding photography is my “job,” but it never feels like a job, and we never make our couples feel like they are just another job on the books. Producing great images is essential, but wedding photography is a lot about building relationships, and over the years, we have made some fantastic friends!

“From our first official meeting with Jacklyn on wedding day, we knew our coordinator (shoutout to the Farmville Mill & Heinz!) had found the perfect photographer for us. She listened to our vision and ran with it, capturing the elegant Halloween aesthetic we were going for and giving us total Morticia and Gomez Addams energy in every shot (we didn’t know we could feel so gorgeous!) Jacklyn was a pleasure to work with—she guided us through poses when we felt lost and made the whole process feel natural and fun. What really stood out was how she checked in with us before leaving to make sure we were happy with everything, and she went above and beyond to capture the important parts of our day. Her work is truly phenomenal from just the few shots we saw, and her clear communication throughout the whole process made the day stress-free. We highly recommend Crystal Image Photography!”
