Brittany Fan Art and Photography

Charlottesville, VA
  • Classic style

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

  • 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 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!

Bonie Wedding was great to work with. From the start process, the communication was easy. Hannah was our lead photographer with Emily and Lactoya were our videographers, who were both great teams. I highly recommend using Bonie weddings for both photo and video, as the two teams worked together without any trouble. During the reception, we barely noticed their presence, yet every time we looked up they were there recording everything. It was so nice to know that your special day was captured from start to finish, without feeling overwhelming. We appreciated Hannah and Emily's directions for all the photos. The production team was great as well. Very responsive and easy to communicate. They make the entire process clear and concise, which is appreciated when the wedding planning process and day off can feel overwhelming. Our wedding was not even 2 weeks ago and we already received our video trailer, as well as some sneak peek pictures from Hannah via Dropbox. Hannah also did our engagement shoot and it was fun and easy. We loved how our pictures came out and are so eager to see the rest. Thank you Bonie!

As a wedding photographer, capturing what is by far one of the most important days of someone's life is just such an honor and an experience. I see it as an opportunity to capture, document, and preserve some of the most powerful emotions that we can experience as human beings. As a series of images that will last for generations. If you’re looking for beautiful, stunning images that truly capture you and your loved one's special day fueled by a passion for photography... as well as a warm, professional experience, I am the photographer for you.

Veronica with Wild Meadow Photography was fantastic to work with for our wedding photography. Throughout the planning process, communication was always quick and efficient whenever we had questions or needed to coordinate details. On our big day, Veronica captured stunning, magical photos that we will treasure forever. She has an amazing talent for composing beautiful scenes and bringing out the emotions of the moment. Veronica was also extremely professional yet blended into the event seamlessly to get candid, joyful shots of our guests. We could not be happier with the gorgeous photos Veronica delivered, which will allow us to relive our special day for years to come. I highly recommend Wild Meadow's services!

Mikkel Paige Photography doesn't simply take photos - she creates them. She'll laugh and joke with you to get those smiles going to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera so you’re free to be yourselves. Her vibrant photos resonate with couples who gravitate towards color and the details. Mikkel is an avid traveler and will go any distance to capture love and work with fun-loving couples, from the Caribbean, to California, Walt Disney World, Norway and beyond.

Awarded Best of Zola
Mikkel was more than just our photographer, she was a partner to us for the wedding as a whole! We had a destination wedding on the new Disney cruise ship, the Wish, and while it was an amazing time there were definitely challenges to planning a destination wedding at a brand new venue that we couldn't see until the wedding trip itself. Mikkel has a strong network of contacts in the industry that kept her informed of the ship and logistics and she ended up being more helpful to us than our Disney wedding coordinator! She checked in multiple times throughout our wedding planning on photography things such as the timeline, but also helped in providing her opinion on things like the bridesmaid dresses, the locations for the first look, and was generally helpful with her wealth of knowledge of Disney Cruise Line weddings to bounce ideas off of. Her pictures were INCREDIBLE! The quality, coloring, angles, lighting, everything about them is absolutely perfect. But most importantly, she is such a warm and happy person to work with that we felt incredibly comfortable posing in front of her for hours on end! We also had the luxury of her husband helping us a bit too and they were such a team, working together in the hot Bahamian sun quickly and effectively without even needing to direct each other most of the time to maximize how many pictures we could get before the sweat ruined our dress/suit/hair! Another attribute of Mikkel's that's worth mentioning is her flexibility. We took pictures with her the days before and after our wedding in addition to the big day, and our plan and timeline for the full weekend was completely in flux due to the chaos of our venue. If that caused issues for Mikkel, we never knew as she was upbeat and positive and leaned into every challenge that came our way. Honestly I could go on and on about her, she's exactly who we needed for our wedding and I am so grateful that we found her. If you are considering Mikkel, stop thinking about it and just book her - you won't regret it!

Hi, I'm Stephanie, owner and lead photographer at Stephanie Whitehill Photography. I have a BFA in art/photography from the University of Georgia, over 25 years experience in photography, and 15 years photographing beautiful weddings. I've had the honor of being published in the wedding issue of Virginia Living Magazine. I'm a wife, mother, hiker, artist, reader, baker, and aspiring golfer.

Stephanie was amazing to work with! She had excellent communication and was extremely flexible and understanding when it came to our day being moved. She made sure we got all the shots we wanted as well as many that came out better than I could have thought of! Within the first couple of pictures she took she showed me what it looked like from her side and I knew they would come out great. My entire family loved working with her and was so impressed with how she worked with us. The pictures came out wonderfully and I am so excited to have them displayed in our home. The day goes by so quickly and the memories she provided are priceless!

Jennifer and her husband were our photographers for our wedding earlier in December and we could not have been happier with our choice. They helped so much throughout the planning process and with developing the timeline and were incredibly quick and efficient responding to my many emails. They are so lovely to work with in person and I love watching their dynamic between each other, as well. It's never comfortable being in front of a camera but Jennifer makes it feel so natural, just like you're hanging out with your loved ones (which you are!). We already got our sneak peak of the album and we are SO madly in love with all of the pictures and impressed by the speed in which Jennifer was able to get them to us. If you want gorgeous photos from the most personable and efficient couple there is then PLEASE go with Jennifer Nolan Photography. Thank you both for everything!!

Josie with Give Photography was my wedding photographer and I'm so grateful to her for her incredible photos. My husband and I had never done professional photos and had no idea how to pose or what to do but Josie sure knows a thing or two! She got the most romantic and beautiful photos and everything felt so natural and easy. Plus our reception venue was pretty dark and had weird lighting so a lot of our guests photos didn't turn out, so it was a real gift to have Josie's incredible photos at the reception. I have no idea how she pulled it off but they look so magical and caught everyone having fun, all the exact memories I'll always cherish.
