**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.

Chelsi Breeden Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very first meeting, Chelsi was fast, efficient, and easy to talk to, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. Her directional guidance and experienced eye resulted in stunning photos that will truly capture the joy and magic of our special day. We couldn't be happier with the value and quality of her work, and highly recommend Chelsi Breeden Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience. Working with Chelsi took a huge stress off my back, and she's so much fun to work with.

Julie, Scott, and their team made our wedding day perfect. From the first site visit and throughout the planning process, they were amazing communicators. The venue has gorgeous outdoor spaces for the ceremony and cocktail reception. The indoor space is flexible for a reception with a dance floor. There are chairs for both the ceremony and reception as well as tables. We chose to have a June wedding and when the temps entered the upper 90s, we were grateful for the A/C reception space. Even better, there are two suites that the wedding party can use to make for a seamless process getting ready. We enjoyed our experience so very much. Lastly, the bathrooms there were also excellent and let’s be real, that’s a crucial component for any good party.

Josh and Tiffany and the team at Lydias were phenomenal leading up to the day and on the day! They graciously allowed us to visit the venue multiple times to make sure that all of our information was straight and decided upon. We were luckily able to have almost all of the lodge rooms booked up along with a couple of cabins which made the whole weekend even better! Everything that would be needed for a wedding is provided, ceremony chairs, an arbor, reception tables and chairs, and even centerpieces! Having an in house catering team is also a huge plus and one less vendor we had to do research on. Having a bridal suite on site was critical so that we could have enough space and not have to worry about transportation. I would recommend this venue over and over again for any event!

Had our wedding on 6/22/2024, despite it being the hottest day imaginable the venue was still a dream come true. The sunset and moonrise cannot be competed with.

Nestled in the countryside of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Lovingston winery offers a breathtaking backdrop that feels like you've stepped straight into your own love film.

Their warmth and hospitality make the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. One of my favorite standout features of Lovingston Winery is the historic farm house, which is the perfect getting ready space. It's wonderfully well-lit, offering a comforting and serene environment that sets the tone for the day. Plus, their reception pavilion is absolutely beautiful and brimming with charm. It’s the perfect blend of rustic elegance, making it a delightful space for celebrating with loved ones. I cannot recommend Lovingston Winery enough for anyone looking to host their wedding at a venue that is as dreamy and picturesque as it is welcoming and accommodating.

Jack and I could not have imagined a better venue for our wedding than The Club at Glenmore in Keswick, Virginia. Growing up in Charlottesville, I knew that I wanted to get married in my hometown. Wineries are a popular choice in Charlottesville, but they are mostly located in the surrounding counties which require a long drive from hotels. Winery weddings can also require coordinating a lot of rentals (decor, tables, chairs, etc.) and finding a caterer. After researching all of the venues around Charlottesville, we chose The Club at Glenmore or many reasons. One, the beautiful and convenient location. Glenmore was conveniently located only about 10 minutes from our hotel block on Pantops which made it easy for guests and shuttles. Even though the location is close to town, it is situated inside a beautiful gated neighborhood with views of the mountains, rolling horse pastures, and well maintained golf course. So it feels like it's out in the country without actually being that far away from town! Two, the full service. Glenmore provides so much for its couples! It has an amazing on-site chef so we did not need to find a separate catering company. This was one of our main deciding factors! Couples even do the food & wine tasting at the venue which makes for a fun day trip :) Glenmore provides all of the ceremony chairs, reception chairs, tables, glassware, serving ware, flatware, etc. So we did not need to rent anything except purchase some decorations. Speaking of decorations, Glenmore has many decor pieces that we were able to use! They have arbors, prosecco walls, a boxwood wall for photo opps, votive candle and holders, charger plates, up-lights, bistro lights, etc. Three, the amenities. Getting ready spaces, ceremony locations, cocktail terrace, reception ballroom - Glenmore has it all! Glenmore has a beautiful bridal suite that the ladies in my bridal party were able to use all morning. The bridal suite has plenty of room to get ready in, hang dresses in, store decor in, and even take pictures in. There is a separate space downstairs where the guys can get ready in too! We all enjoyed spending the morning and early afternoon together in these spaces while eating breakfast and lunch prepared for by Glenmore! The space was also convenient for our vendors too. They could come and check in with me throughout the morning since I was getting ready on-site. There are many ceremony locations to choose from if you want your ceremony at Glenmore. We actually switched our ceremony location within about 2 weeks of the wedding and Glenmore was very accommodating with this switch. Finally, the beautiful ballroom was another major deciding factor for us. We had our wedding in the summer, so we knew we wanted to have the reception indoors in an air conditioned room. Four, the staff. Glenmore takes pride in providing top notch service to its clients. Kim, the event coordinator at Glenmore, helped us so much from start to finish. She walked us through the wedding process, answered the many questions we had, worked with all of our vendors, met with us for our tasting and walkthroughs, made sure that all of our requests were met, and coordinated the entire Glenmore team on our wedding day. If you are looking for a beautiful full-service wedding venue with everything including an amazing on-site caterer, top notch staff, convenient location, and gorgeous views, Glenmore is the place for you!!

spent a whole weekend here for my wedding. If you're looking for a stress free and organized wedding Chanel is your girl. She had a complete timeline for all things and makes sure the bride doesn't have to do a thing. Her venue is very beautiful, vintage, and just perfect! The rooms are beautiful, however the only downfall we had were the beds were not comfortable at all which made it difficult to fall asleep. We had her husband Jim officiate our wedding as well, he is just as helpful and sweet as Chanel is.

Champagne Wishes helped us plan and execute our 75-person wedding in June 2025 in just four months – we’re not sure how we would have done it without them! Starting from our consultation, Katelyn was extremely personable and encouraging. We were of course nervous about our tight timeline, but she quickly made us feel at ease. She honored our vision, asked the right questions, and helped us be decisive during the planning process when we needed it. Sulli took over as our day-of-coordinator and did an amazing job memorizing our timeline and all the small details of the day. She managed parking attendants from CW and tricky traffic down our venue’s one-lane road with ease, ensuring our guests had a seamless experience. Both Katelyn and Sulli were great communicators, answering our many questions in a timely manner and handling all communication with the vendor team as we approached the big day. The best testimony of how well they worked together was that after the wedding we had multiple guests and even fellow vendors remark on how smooth and effortless the day felt. We are so grateful to the entire team and we highly recommend Champagne Wishes for all your wedding planning needs! As a side note, we also worked with CW for some day-of rentals such as gorgeous wooden benches for our ceremony, cocktail tables, and LED candles. They have a large, well-priced inventory and it was super convenient to get everything in one place. Definitely recommend taking a look!

Pronounced like Eye-lish, I'm a Charlottesville, Virginia wedding photographer. I've been full-time in the industry for 5 years, and I love getting to memorialize weddings for my clients. I have experience in both photography and cinematography, which gives my images a uniquely timeless feel. My experience in film enables me to be unobtrusive, allowing you to experience your day exactly as it unfolds.

Awarded Best of Zola
Eilish is an artist in the truest form of the word, because every single one of her photos will make you feel something. She photographed our wedding and we literally could not believe how beautifully she captured every moment of the day. My husband and I are probably the most awkward people in front of the camera, but Eilish made us feel 100% comfortable. It never felt like a photo shoot, and because of that, we were able to stay fully present. She brought such a calm, sweet, and grounded energy, and just captured the day naturally as it unfolded. We also set aside some time for couples portraits and it was honestly one of the most relaxed and memorable parts of the day. She and her second shooter, Cecilia, made the day run so smoothly and were true professionals. Eilish had excellent communication with us since we first got in touch, and shared so much helpful information and a detailed questionnaire leading up to the day. It's clear that she puts so much thought and care into each couple that she photographs. And of course, we are SO obsessed with both the film and digital photos that we received in our final gallery! We loved Eilish's style because it is unique, timeless, and nostalgic all at once, and I can't believe we now have our own photos to look at for years to come.

Montfair was the first wedding venue my husband and I visited and we immediately fell in love with it. Private, understated but very well kept up, naturally gorgeous, and diverse in its landscapes, Montfair allowed us to create an experience that felt worlds away and truly magical. We held our ceremony down by the pond and guests could watch the sun set over the changing trees and water as they had drinks. The lodge feels intimate and cozy at night; the dance floor was expansive and welcoming; and guests who wanted fresh air could enjoy the bonfire Enjoying time with our families who stayed in the cabins the next morning was a special bonus. The team is resourceful and warm. This is a precious place!

I got married at Hardware Hills in March 2025. It was hands down the best day of my life and I couldn't have picked a better place to get married. My now husband and I toured the venue in the Fall of 2024 while the new event space was in the process of getting built. Lori was amazing at keeping me updated on the progress and the finished product turned out amazing. I enjoyed working with the entire Hardware Hills team and would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for an event space. The bridal suite is so beautiful and easily accommodated my bridal part of 6 plus other members of my family that was getting ready there that day. The groom and his groomsmen enjoyed getting to relax at the cottage the morning of the wedding. Everything was so amazing! If you're looking for a wedding venue, definitely check this place out.

L'etoile Catering

  • Caterer
  • Serves Stanardsville, VA

We began serving Charlottesville with French and Virginia-inspired cooking at our restaurant, l’etoile, in 1993. Our catering business grew out of that experience, and out of our desire to take part in the celebrations, the rituals, and the ceremonies of people throughout the Central Virginia community. Catering allows us to reach, care for, and serve a larger audience, and to customize consistently excellent culinary experiences for our clients. We have a history of procuring the finest, freshest ingredients for the meals we create and serve, and access to those ingredients through relationships we’ve cultivated for more than 20 years.

Awarded Best of Zola
Vickie and Mark of L'Etoile made our wedding incredible from the moment we first started discussions with them. They were incredibly knowledgeable, knowing all of the important logistics that will matter during the day, caring, ensuring that all guests (and the married couple) were fed, and flexible, making changes with us as we moved through the planning process. The food was delicious and our tasting with Vickie and Mark was probably the highlight of our planning process. They worked with various allergies and dietary restrictions and made sure that the night flowed seamlessly. I also want to highlight that Vickie is incredibly kind and supportive of her staff, making sure that they were learning great skills in a supportive environment. As someone who has worked food service and catering before, seeing this made me feel even better about our choice to work with them.

We LOVED everything about our June wedding at Keswick. The whole team was so easy to work with and made the day, and month leading up to it, so stress free. All my groom and I needed to focus on was having a great time and enjoying ourselves. The only thing I can think to say is that you'll regret NOT booking at Keswick. It was the easiest and best choice we made for our big day!

Trump Winery 

5.0

Charlottesville, VA
  • Venue
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $4,500

Trump Winery is the venue where your wedding dreams come true. Whether you’ve envisioned an extravagant event or an elopement for just the two of you, we promise to create memories that you and your loved ones will cherish forever. Our 1300 acre property is nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, conveniently located 20 minutes from downtown Charlottesville. Our grounds have picture-perfect rolling hills, lakes, and over 200 acres of vines. Trump Winery couples benefit from indoor and outdoor ceremony, cocktail hour and reception settings, in well-appointed, heated and air-conditioned, luxury venues. Less than a mile away from both the Barn & Pavilion and the Grand Hall is our Albemarle Estate at Trump Winery, a 26,000-square foot, 11 bedroom mansion that provides overnight lodging for guests and a honeymoon night option for couples.

Our decision to elope at Trump Winery in Charlottesville turned out to be the best choice we could have made. From the moment we arrived, the staff provided exceptional service, going above and beyond to make our day perfect. Every detail was handled with care, and we truly felt like their priority. The venue itself is stunning. The chapel on the property is a masterpiece, offering a level of intimacy and charm that we couldn’t find anywhere else. The fresco on the ceiling is absolutely breathtaking, a true work of art that made the space feel even more special. The large bay windows and balcony created incredible opportunities for photography, while the pews and altar added an elegant, timeless touch. Speaking of photography, we were thrilled with our choice of Aaron Watson Photography. He was a true professional, expertly navigating less-than-ideal weather to capture photos that exceeded all our expectations. The wedding package we selected was seamless and stress-free. It included gorgeous flowers, a kind and professional officiant, and every element we needed to make our day unforgettable. Our stay at the Albemarle Estate was equally exceptional. Between the pristine grounds, beautifully appointed rooms, and the privacy of the cabin we stayed in, the estate made us feel like we had our own little paradise. With only about 11 rooms on the property, it offered a level of exclusivity that was especially memorable for our New Year’s Eve wedding. We couldn’t have been luckier to host our wedding here. The property’s uniqueness, from the incredible chapel to the estate’s picturesque surroundings, far surpassed any other venue we explored. Additionally, the entire elopement package was an extraordinary value. For under 10,000, it included the venue, officiant, photographer, floral arrangements, two nights in the cabin, hair and makeup brought directly to us, our wedding attire, and delicious meals in the fine dining room. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, making our wedding as easy as it was magical. If you’re considering hosting your wedding at Trump Winery, we cannot recommend it highly enough. The experience was truly one of a kind, and we’ll cherish the memories forever.

My entire bridal party and I stayed here my wedding weekend and it was fabulous! The house is so large so no one felt on top of eachother with multiple seating areas and common spaces all beautifully decorated Not to mention my cousin and I got to wake everyone up with our piano playing in the formal living room on the day of our wedding. The property is absolutely gorgeous and I felt like I was in a Nancy Myers movie while staying here. The landscaping is so well done and the massive kitchen was so helpful in feeding everyone while we were getting our hair and makeup done! Not to mention it was so great being able to have my dog there with me!

Jack is a longtime Charlottesville-Albemarle resident, and currently lives in "downtown" Crozet. He's been a full time photographer in Charlottesville's wedding community for 20 years. Specialties include surprise engagements, and weddings ranging in size and complexity from elopements with a handful of guests, to multi-day celebrations with many hundreds of guests.

Jack is so wonderful. From our first call, we knew that he would be our guy. He is so laid back yet still professional. It was easy for all of our guests to approach him for photos if they wanted. He kept an eye on the sunset and whisked us away for a few amazing shots. He quickly got the obligatory family shots out of the way, very painlessly. He even suggested another local place to go for our first look that was more private and so beautiful. He really looks out for you and what you want. Also, he works insanely quickly. He is really fast to reply to emails as well. You cannot go wrong with Jack. He did such a great job and helped us to relax. HIGHLY recommend him. Book him already!!

My husband and I had our wedding on October 19th at Avonlea Farms and could not have asked for a more perfect venue, from the beautiful grounds to the amazing staff and owners. When we first toured, saw the greenhouse, and met Debbie and Clint, we knew that this had to be the place for our special day - and obviously made the right choice. I would recommend that anyone looking for a gorgeous and unique venue choose Avonlea Farms for their wedding as well! While we got a spot of rain during the reception, the pavilion and greenhouse thankfully kept everyone dry so the party could keep going. The bridal suite and groom’s cottage are perfect places to get ready, with plenty of space and all the amenities you could need! The lovely owners are also constantly making improvements, we were happily surprised with the addition of a paved path through the church pews and the new chandeliers in the vintage greenhouse. Thank you for hosting our special day, and making everything so easy and beautiful!

Hi there. I originally hail from Georgia, but am so happy to now call Charlottesville my home. When I'm not chasing down perfect sunlight, you can usually find me tucked away somewhere with a book, writing, enjoying life with my partner Charles, styling my 1920s home, or snuggling with my Frenchie pup, Finny.

I wish I could give Audra 11 stars. She was the hands down BEST choice for our wedding. We were so lucky for Audra to work with us for a boudoir, a Catholic ceremony, a rehearsal dinner and our wedding. Looking back I feel SO grateful that we chose to work with her. She tells your story through her lens in a way that feels so much more than just "a photo". She is an artist in every form of the word and she is brilliant at her craft. I feel like every photo she takes could have a poem or heartfelt story attached. Everything is so intentional and beautifully crafted. She is so good about making you look natural, unposed and authentically you. She is so much more than I could have ever imagined our wedding photographer would provide. She worked closely with us on timeline, making sure everything was comfortable, she paid attention to what we liked or didn't like. She is a girls girl who was an ear to listen or hear out my wedding day worries and always reassured me that she was going to have our vision played out and SHE DELIVERED! All the work Audra posts is so beautiful, and let me tell you, when its you within her art, it is hard to believe that your story can be told in such an artful, intentional and meaningful way. We considered getting a videographer at one point, and after our Catholic ceremony, I felt like her work could tell the story just as well. It felt like we had the entire day planned out. The details, the candids, the emotional shots, photos of my in laws, the hands of our grandparents, the way the light was shining in the stained glass windows that morning, just every detail was captured and flipping through the photos felt like breaking down the day into bite size pieces that we could take in slowly and treasure forever. Audra was always on time, always prepared and I am so grateful that one of the only things I will be able to take with me from my wedding day(s) will be the photography she so artfully captured so we can remember as many details as possible (because it truly does go so fast). I cannot say enough good things, she was hands down my favorite vendor and if you love the work you see, I promise you, she can make that happen for you too. I truly cannot believe some of her art work is us and I will cherish it for a lifetime. Also her husband did some behind the scenes for the Catholic wedding and it was the sweetest surprise to see those little moments, again captured so intentionally and giving such a well rounded feel of the day. I believe he may do some content creation and I would highly consider him if there are some extra moments you would like to have. I am forever grateful! I would pick her a million times over.

To put it simply, we love planning weddings. There's something magical about taking every little detail of such an important occasion and bringing them together to create lifelong memories for our couples and their families. ​ Based in beautiful Charlottesville, we are an experienced wedding and event planner team dedicated to making your dream wedding come to life. We don't want any couple (or their families) to have the stress of managing all of the event details on the wedding day. After all, the guests of honor should be enjoying every moment!

Working with Nadia was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very first meeting, she was kind, professional, creative, and organized. Every detail was handled with such care and we truly felt supported throughout the entire planning process. She understood our vision perfectly and elevated it in ways we never could have imagined. Her communication was always prompt, and on the wedding day itself, everything flowed wonderfully. We even tried out a new layout/timeline for our venue, and she nailed it! We were able to relax and fully enjoy the day knowing she was handling everything. Our wedding was beyond anything we dreamed of, and we owe so much of that to Nadia and Mary Elizabeth Events. If you’re looking for a planner who is organized, creative, organized, open, and genuinely invested in making your day perfect, look no further :)

We couldn’t have chosen a more perfect venue for our wedding! The venue itself is absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views and beautifully maintained grounds that made for the most amazing backdrop to our special day. Special thanks to the venue coordinator, Katie, who made the planning process so easy and stress-free. She was attentive, responsive, and truly went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. She was always available to answer any questions I had before the wedding. We met a month prior to the day to discuss the timeline of the day which helped make the day stress-free! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a dream wedding location. It was truly a day to remember! We chose Food for Thought, the in-house caterer for Earlyhouse and the food was nothing short of spectacular. The menu options were diverse and perfectly customizable to suit our tastes and dietary needs, making it easy to create a meal that all of our guests loved. All of the vendors and staff at Earlyhouse made our wedding day memorable and we highly recommend Earlyhouse for your wedding or next event!

I strive to capture not just an image, but the profound feeling of the moment. With 15 years of experience, my organic approach focuses on the gentle curation of portraits; seeking out the real, unscripted moments that evoke a deep sense of nostalgia throughout the energy of the day. My ultimate goal is to craft photographs that express honest imagery in an intentional and meaningful way. I look forward to the wonderful opportunity to document your personal story with sincerity, creativity, and artistry, ensuring that your memories are beautifully preserved.

Meredith was an absolute joy to work with! Her warm, fun energy instantly put us at ease, allowing us to feel comfortable and be ourselves, which truly shines through in our photos. She has an incredible eye for not only capturing the background, lighting, and surroundings perfectly but also bringing out the unique personality of everyone she photographs. We did our engagement photoshoot in NYC, which captured a cool, chic city love story, and our wedding day photoshoot at a vineyard in Charlottesville, VA, on a beautiful summer day. The vineyard setting was so dreamy, and Meredith effortlessly captured the natural beauty of the day, making every moment look timeless and elegant. When you look at her pictures, it feels like you’re reliving those moments. Her shots are full of life—not stiff or posed—but vibrant and authentic, capturing the true essence of each moment. Meredith was also incredibly kind and easy to work with, offering thoughtful advice both before and during the shoot. This was our first time having professional photos taken, but thanks to her, we felt relaxed from the start. Her work is a perfect mix of classy, modern, and elegant, with a splash of fun and a seize-the-day vibe. We’re already excited to work with her again—hopefully for our next photoshoot, when we have a baby! Cannot recommend her enough - just do it, book her!!!
