HoneyAnne Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,895
  • Serves Columbia, VA

Hi, I’m Annie! Welcome to HoneyAnne Photography! I'm based in both Southern California and Virginia—sounds a little unusual, I know! My photography style combines the timeless elegance of editorial imagery with the heartfelt authenticity of documentary photography —each gallery is designed to feel like your favorite magazine spread or Pinterest board! I believe that everyone deserves beautiful, film-inspired photos that capture their story. HoneyAnne Photography was inspired by the golden warmth of honey. Much like the taste of honey is comforting and sweet, I want your experience with me to feel warm, inviting, and unforgettable.

HoneyAnne Photography was a delight to work with from start to finish. Their communication style was clear, bubbly and friendly, which made the entire process so easy and enjoyable. The quality of their work was truly amazing and worth every penny. They went above and beyond to contribute to our special day, bringing fun props, scouting the venue ahead of time to find the best spots, and even drawing inspiration from our vision. We found Annie online and were immediately drawn to her whimsical and stunning photography style. Once we started chatting, we hit it off right away - she is so personable and easy to talk to. We booked her for our engagement photos and had a blast doing a fun picnic-themed shoot. I have already recommended HoneyAnne Photography to another bride, and will continue to recommend them to anyone looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience.

Hi! My name is Jo Mahaney. In addition to being a wedding photographer, I have become a professional boutonniere pinner, bonus bridesmaid, master timeline creator, manipulator of light, and emotional confidant. Primarily, I am there as your wedding photographer to ensure that--although your memory will fade with time--these photographs serve as vivid reminders of the joy in the season and the relationships that matter most. Photography by Jo began back in 2014 when I shot my first wedding for my roommates, while still in college. That year, I fell in love with weddings and have focused on those and other major family milestones ever since.

Eilish Bailey Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves Columbia, 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.

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.

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!

My husband and I are so happy to have gotten the opportunity to work with Kelly for our May 2025 wedding! From the start, she was professional and communicative. When working with her in person, she is always calm and in control, which I think is essential when working in the wedding business. She definitely strikes the right balance of managing the scene around her while also bringing a sense of ease. She made the whole day (not to mention our engagement photos) feel fun, laid back, and unhurried—all important factors for a wedding day. Thank you Kelly!

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 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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

  • Serves Columbia, 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.

My husband and I got married in December 2022 and realized a bit last-minute that we needed a Rehearsal Dinner photographer! Amanda was so accommodating and scheduled a conversation before the big weekend to go over all of our photo dreams and logistics. Not only is Amanda warm, kind, and easy to work with, her photos are absolutely stunning! Her work is light and airy with an incredibly timeless feel. With all the excitement and nerves of wedding weekend, Amanda was the calming presence we needed before our Rehearsal! We loved her photos so much, that we scheduled a Christmas card/one-year wedding anniversary photoshoot with her one year later in November 2023, with two large pups in tow! We give our highest recommendation for Amanda and her work and we are so lucky to call her our new family photographer!

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.

From the moment we met Chelsi, my husband and I knew we were in good hands. Her warm, guiding communication style immediately put us at ease and made us feel comfortable throughout the entire wedding day. 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.

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 wanted to document the moments of the people I cared about - whether mundane or significant - and create something beautiful. Fast forward ten years and I’ve gone on to complete my Bachelor’s, Master’s, and clinical to become a registered dietitian nutritionist. 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.

We are Amy & Jackson Smith, a husband and wife team, who met through photography. We fell in love and got married in our own backyard right here in Charlottesville. We feel so fortunate to meet such genuine people and have the opportunity to tell their stories. Since 2014 we have shot over 150 weddings at more than 60 venues. We are based in Charlottesville, Virginia and love photographing weddings here as well as Richmond, Washington DC, and beyond.

My wife and I are beyond thrilled with the amazing photos Amy and Jackson from Smiths Photography took at our wedding in Florida! They did such an incredible job capturing all the special moments, and somehow they managed to capture the true personalities of each of our guests, too. Their talent is truly unmatched. The pictures are not just beautiful; they perfectly reflect the emotions and vibe of the day. Every shot is a work of art, and the quality is outstanding—vibrant colors and sharp details make each photo a real standout. Amy and Jackson were so professional yet so warm and friendly. They made sure to understand exactly what we wanted and then went above and beyond to deliver. They blended into the background while making everyone feel at ease, which really helped make the day even more special. We received our photos quickly and couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. We are incredibly grateful they were our photographers.

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.

If you are looking for a wedding photographer (or portrait photographer) in the Charlottesville area, look no further. We got married at King Family Vineyards this summer and that's where I first saw some of Aaron's photos. I was just blown away. He has this way capturing the fun little moments, and also creating more serious shots that are just epic (with and without a drone)! He's one of a kind and super fun to work with. We had him and his wife Lisa shooting at our wedding, and I have such great memories goofing off with the two of them out in the vineyards getting some beautiful shots. He has been doing this for a long time and he knows every angle, every trick in the book. He also knows and works well with all of the Charlottesville-area wedding vendors. The one thing you do not want to skimp on with your wedding is the photos, because that's what you'll have to look back on forever. If you want someone who is fun to work with and who will give you the most gorgeous keepsakes of your special day, look no further. We made the best decision choosing Aaron Watson!

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.

Robert is an amazing photographer that exceeded all expectations. He made our friends and families feel at ease while taking genuine pictures. He captured every moment with beautiful pictures that I will cherish forever. Thanks for everything!

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!

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. :)

Jen photographed our wedding and did an incredible job while somehow making sure we had fun (I'm nervous in front of the camera!). I have never felt so photogenic or seen SO many perfect photos that captured our friends and family. Not only did she get beautiful stills, she also captured a million amazing moments that we will treasure forever. Jen truly is the best.
