**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.

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.

Eilish Bailey Photography

5.0

Photojournalistic style
Starts at $6,000
Serves Stanardsville, VA

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.

“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.”

Hi! I'm Kelly! I'm a wedding and portrait photographer based in Charlottesville, VA. My specialty is couples' photography - surprise proposals, engagement sessions, and weddings! I capture love stories all over Virginia and Washington DC! Everyone's story matters. That's why I believe it is important to let my clients know that I am an LGBTQIA+ and BLM ally.

“If I could give more than five stars I would! Kelly is the absolute best! Kelly is professional, supportive, calm, yet assertive (needed with a large bridal party). She is absolutely everything we wanted in a wedding photographer and more. Kelly shot our engagement pictures as well as our wedding day. Both shoots were available for us within a very reasonable time which is great when you are anxious to see the result. The wedding photos are filed into categories which makes it very easy when downloading your favorites. We had way more wedding photos than we thought we would get which is a fantastic surprise. Kelly's photographs are soft, but also true to color which was exactly what we wanted. Kelly made us feel completely comfortable during photos and is so kind. She also worked super well with our other vendors (videographer, etc.). We absolutely love her work and are unbelievably thrilled that we chose her to be our wedding photographer. If you are considering using Kelly, do it! You will not be disappointed.”

Audra Jones Photography

5.0

Fine art style
Starts at $7,200
Serves Stanardsville, VA

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.”

Meredith Coe Photo

Fine art style
Starts at $10,000
Serves Stanardsville, VA

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!!!”

Amanda Adams Photography

Classic style
Starts at $6,000
Serves Stanardsville, 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.”

From developing black and white images in the darkroom to capturing day-to-day happenings as photo manager of the high school yearbook, my camera became an extension of me.

I’ve had a thriving career at UVA Medical Center for the past five years and witnessed firsthand both the value and fragility of human life.

The pictures are not just beautiful; they perfectly reflect the emotions and vibe of the day.

I'm a full-time freelance photographer, and have been photographing weddings since 2008. Risking understatement, I love being a photographer. When it comes to weddings, I photograph them in my favorite style -- journalistic. Nothing makes me happier than finding cool, off-the-wall moments at your wedding that may have otherwise gone unnoticed. Well, unless those moments happen to be in supreme sunset light. I try to be as hands-off as I can, while still providing direction when needed. Your wedding won't be a Hollywood production photo-shoot with me, it'll be a party with your family and friends that you will be able to enjoy to the fullest!

“Couldn't recommend Tom more highly - we feel really lucky to have him document our wedding day. He was really fun and easy to work with. We got gorgeous family and couple pictures, but also so many photos that captured the joy in the impromptu moments throughout the day amongst our family and friends. And those are the ones that will help us remember how special that day felt.”

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 had the pleasure of working with Hunter and Sarah Photography for my surprise engagement in Charlottesville, Virginia, and I truly cannot recommend them enough. From start to finish, they went above and beyond to make the entire experience seamless, meaningful, and beautifully captured. Hunter was incredible to work with in the lead-up to the big day. He was warm, responsive, and extremely helpful as we planned the logistics for a proposal on the Grounds near the Rotunda. He offered thoughtful guidance on timing, positioning, and locations, and even helped me figure out where family members could hide nearby without giving anything away. Throughout all of our communication, he was patient, organized, and genuinely invested in helping me create the perfect moment. On the day of the proposal, Sarah was phenomenal. She blended flawlessly into the environment to keep the surprise intact - my fiancée had absolutely no idea she was there. Sarah captured the proposal beautifully and then guided us through a relaxed, fun 30 minute photo session around the area. She seamlessly captured both posed and candid moments, and the photos reflect that. What blew us away even more was the same-day turnaround. Within about six hours, we had fully edited photos in our inbox. My fiancée was over the moon and immediately shared them with family and friends.

I'm a wedding, elopement, and portrait photographer, based out of Richmond, Virginia. I adore couples who are all for having their photographer third-wheelin' with them through their adventure. Wherever your journey of love takes you, I'm ready to jump on a plane to come to you. Let's do this! I’m an adventure-seeking 28 year-old, madly in love with my best friend, Thomas.

Brittany Fan Art and Photography

5.0

Classic style
Serves Stanardsville, VA

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.

“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!”

Amanda Maglione Photography

5.0

Photojournalistic style
Serves Stanardsville, VA

Amanda Maglione opened her wedding photography business in Charlottesville, Virginia, after a ten-year career in NYC as a photojournalist, celebrity photographer, and photo editor. She brings this background to her wedding photography, and is known for her photojournalistic/documentary style. "Well balanced, highly skilled photographer. Now when you combine that knowledge and experience with her affable nature and charm you can't go wrong. She is not only super talented but also down to earth, sweet, intelligent and a truly genuine person. When you meet her you immediately feel at ease. I was blessed to have her shoot my wedding."

“Amanda was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! I can't say enough great things about Amanda. She is incredibly talented and the consummate professional. We went a non-traditional route for our wedding, deciding to get married in the morning off the blue ridge parkway, and then hike up to the top of humpback rocks with our guests to celebrate our marriage at the top of a mountain. That meant having Amanda get up early to capture the ceremony and then do the hike with us (haha!). She was incredible, and brought along her photographer friend to help during the morning to get all the action. Later that evening, she met back up with us when we cleaned up for some portraits with family, and some of our absolute favorite couple photos we've ever taken on the downtown mall. I don't feel like words do justice -- the photos of our memories say everything I couldn't ever possibly put into words. I should also mention that thanks to her phenomenal photos, we were one of the couples selected for a Cville wedding magazine issue! Amanda is one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. We will always be thankful for her and think of her often when we pass our beautiful canvas photos of that day hanging around our house. :)”
