We recently hosted our daughter's wedding welcome party at The Club at Glenmore in their outside gazebo. It was just truly exceptional! The venue's stunning views, elegant atmosphere, and impeccable service created an unforgettable experience. The staff were attentive and accommodating, ensuring every detail was handled. Guests couldn't stop raving about the beautiful setting, cozy fire pits, and delicious food. I would also like to make a shout out to Kim Hayden for being the absolute best and treated us with such kindness.

Keswick, VA
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,400

I’ve been a wedding photographer for 11 years, but I’ve been an artist since I could hold a pencil – and I’ve been in love with stories just as long. Of all the ways to create a life around storytelling and art, I’m so glad to have found this one: weddings are filled with stories both intimate and profound, and with elements of beauty that delight the artist in me. I love the challenge of seeking, finding and capturing the beauty I see, and telling your story as I see it unfolding before me.

The first thing people mention about our wedding is how beautiful the pictures turned out. I was specifically looking for a candid-style photographer whose exposure remained consistent & correct throughout the night, and Ayesha delivered more than I could have hoped for. She was polite, professional, and so fast! Not only was her turnaround time short, but she practically managed to be in two places at once to capture every perfect shot. We are so grateful that we got the chance to work with her, and look forward to hiring her again for our next special occasion.

I couldn't have asked for a better experience with a venue than working with Sarah and Jocelyn. They were very easy to communicate with, whether it was setting up our payment plan or the weekend of setting up the ceremony and reception sites, they were always easy to get ahold of and easy to work with. We rented the Lodge the weekend of my wedding as well as the bridal suite for an extra night, which ended up being the perfect accommodations.

3 Cats Photo

  • Photographer

  • Starts at $3,900
  • Serves Keswick, VA

I never thought I would be a wedding photographer. I started my professional career in Boulder, Colorado, riding on the backs of motorcycles, chasing professional cyclists through winding roads and epic climbs. I never thought I would find another career as exhilarating and rewarding but I was wrong. I photographed weddings in Colorado, but it wasn’t until moving East, to Charlottesville, Virginia, that I fell in love with them. I love all of the beauty of the flowers and the pretty clothing, but what I love most is documenting the love between the two of you, and the complete joy of your best day ever. We celebrate all couples!

I've known Beth with 3 Cats Photo for years and it was an honor to have her photograph our wedding. She made my wife and I's pinterest board dreams come to life in addition to taking pictures of all the tiny details we didn't even know we wanted until they existed. Beth is organized, kind, and so knowledgeable in addition to having a beautiful eye for the perfect moments and compositions to make every photo a work of art I want to frame on our wall. (Seriously, I've printed so many of our wedding pictures my wife jokes that I have constructed a shrine to our marriage - and she's not wrong, they're just so cute!).

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.

I am a thirty-nine year old mother of two. I have been in food service for over twenty years, and have been catering for fifteen. I specialize in southern style food and absolutely love trying new foods any time. I was taught to cook by my late Grandmother starting as soon as I could sit on a counter top.

Ashly Kaye's Catering Services provided excellent catering for our daughter’s rehearsal and wedding. From the initial consultation to the day-of service, their team was responsive and proactive in their communication. They followed up with us regularly to ensure all of our menu preferences were accommodated. On the wedding day, the food was delicious and beautifully presented, and the staff was attentive and professional. We received numerous compliments from our guests on the quality of the catering.

Pronounced like Eye-lish, I'm a Charlottesville, Virginia wedding photographer. I've been full-time in the industry for 4 years, and I love getting to memorialize weddings for my clients. I have experience in both photography and cinematography. Giving my images a uniquely cinematic and timeless feeling while being unobtrusive and letting you experience your day exactly as it unfolds.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you want authentic pictures that will make you feel all of the emotions from your wedding day time and time again, Eilish is your person. If you are reading this review, chances are you have already seen her work and know that it is stunning. I can't even describe the awe of opening our sneak-peeks and film photography. I don't know how our full gallery could get any better, but I know she will somehow continue to deliver way beyond our expectations. She is literally an artist and truly captures the magic of the day. I found Eilish when I was researching a potential wedding venue, and she had written a blog about that venue and had pictures from a wedding she had captured there. I found myself looking through her work of who were complete strangers to me and feeling as if I was part of the day. I felt like I was witnessing the raw emotions the couple was feeling and the little moments between the two of them that went unnoticed to the rest of the guests. Her work showed the candid laughs between the wedding party and the sweet embraces between the couple and their grandparents. I immediately knew I wanted all of that. I wanted all of those little moments captured that would have otherwise been forgotten. The real, unposed, raw moments. That is exactly what we got and we could not be more grateful. Witnessing love is seeing your wedding day captured by Eilish. On top of being wildly talented, she also is extremely responsive, has an awesome guide that answers any questions you could possibly have, and sends out a detailed questionnaire before the wedding day to make sure she captures any little details you want. She is also so sweet and just a great person. For our wedding she had a second shooter, Kelly Spaine, who was equally awesome and literally felt like a ride-or-die capturing all of the wedding picture requests from guests. Both Eilish and Kelly captured our day while also being extremely unobtrusive. We never felt like we were at a forced red carpet event that happened to be our wedding. They were THE best team we could have asked for. Eilish doesn't know it yet, but I have already made sure her website says she does family photos... because we need her for all of our life events. Long review short, if you want pictures you will be proud to pass down for generations... book Eilish.

The Local is a full-service catering company that specializes in weddings, social gatherings & corporate events. Grand or intimate, focused on tradition or leaning toward trendy, your vision along with our capable guidance will reflect your personal style. Our staff is committed to details, offering unique options, bringing creativity and passion to the planning process.

My husband and I used to get dinner at the Local when we attended UVA and dreamed about having them caterer our wedding. Once we started touring venues around Charlottesville, we kept hearing about how great they were to work with and knew that we just had to make it happen. They were our favorite restaurant and now they're our favorite caterer! The food was fantastic - our friends still haven't stopped talking about the mashed potatoes - and the team was very helpful during the tasting and while we went back and forth on what we wanted to serve, it was hard to choose between all the yummy options! We also used their coordination services and are unbelievably happy with Helen and all of the staff that helped make our day possible. Helen was a lifesaver and was so easy to rely on to get the job done! We knew we needed a strong coordinator since we were planning our wedding from out of state and she stepped up whenever we needed help, even being on site while vendors came to set up days prior since we could not be there. On the day of, she handled everything so gracefully, like our reception power being out, and made sure we only knew what was necessary as not to stress us out! She even brought over our specialty cocktails and a tray of our apps during cocktail hour! All of the Local staff were pleasant and did a great job setting up the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception areas - it was just as we envisioned. I really can't say enough about Helen and the Local, they made our dreams reality and helped us so much in the last few weeks, I don't know what I would have done without them. Their professionalism, quality, and reliability cannot be beat!

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.

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!

Each event, at it’s root, is a story. It’s a unique story of that moment in time- a newborn coming home, a bride and groom embracing or a grandmother on her 85th birthday - and it's an important moment to hold still. My role as a photographer is to tell that story as honestly as I can. I want people to look back on these memories and remember it exactly as they experienced it. That’s why I aim for transparency in my photography that neither adds nor takes away from the moments that I am documenting.

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!!!

The Depot in downtown Orange, Virginia is everything you could hope for in a special event venue. I have had the privilege of shooting 2 separate events in The Depot's event spaces, and I hope to return for more. Each space within the depot is thoughtfully designed with beautiful details, making it the perfect backdrop for any special celebration. I typically try to avoid indoor venues due to a general lack of quality lighting/backdrop opportunities as a photographer, but I have loved every minute that I've worked at The Depot. Everywhere you look presents a new backdrop opportunity, and the spaces are filled with ample natural light during the daytime. Working with the Grelen Events team is always a breeze, and they are eager to resolve any day-of questions or concerns. You really can't go wrong booking The Depot for your next celebration/event!

A storyteller at heart, I believe there is great power in pairing intentional narrative with elevated cinematography. With story at the heart of my artistry, I strive to create films that are not only aesthetically pleasing, but that also capture the very essence of the love shared between you and your partner.

As a wedding photographer, I have worked with many videography teams over the last 5 years. And working along side Brandi, of Iron & Ivy Films, on the wedding day has given me a new expectation for all video teams!! I absolutely loved working with her and experiencing how well she treats her couples and their family & friends. Seeing a fellow vendor truly care about their clients and not just their video is so refreshing. And if you see any of her work I think you’ll see for yourself how she makes her couples feel!! If I could go back in time and hire her for my wedding day I absolutely would!!

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 17 years.

Jack was exactly what we needed on our wedding day! He seamlessly wrangled our huge family into group shots, made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, and made helpful suggestions on backdrops and poses. We had so much fun capturing our day with him and Coe!
