“Do yourself a favor and hire Ashley for your wedding, event, family photos, etc. - she is absolutely AMAZING!! We hired her for our June wedding and it was the best money we spent, hands down. Everything from coordinating our engagement shoot to planning the shots we wanted at the wedding was seamless. Ashley is not just a wedding photographer; she is a true artist and has an incredible talent for styling shoots on the fly, troubleshooting in challenging environments, and making everyone feel SO comfortable. One of my main concerns with our photos was that we would look stiff - with Ashley that was not an issue. She had us laughing and feeling so relaxed from the very beginning. On our wedding day, Ashley was extremely efficient and worked around our desire to have the first look at the ceremony, while also somehow getting all the shots we wanted plus a lot more. We even made the last 15 minutes of our cocktail party! The photos are art-quality, timeless, and everything we hoped they would be - she captured the day exactly as we remembered it, even the crazy-packed dance floor! I really cannot recommend Ashley enough, we will absolutely be using her again in the future!!”

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.”

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
“From the moment I found her, I just knew I wanted her to be our wedding photographer. There was something about her work and the way she captured people that immediately stood out to me, and she exceeded every expectation. She photographed both our engagement session and our wedding day, and every single image is absolutely beautiful. She has such an incredible eye for capturing not only the big moments, but also the little details and candid memories that make the day so special. These are photos we’ll cherish for the rest of our lives. Beyond her talent behind the camera, she brought such a calm, reassuring presence throughout the entire experience. On a day that can feel overwhelming, having someone with that kind of energy made all the difference. She also went above and beyond long before the wedding day itself—helping me choose outfits for our engagement session, offering thoughtful advice, and making sure we felt confident and prepared every step of the way. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. If you’re looking for someone who creates stunning images while making you feel completely at ease, she is the one.”

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!!!”

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!
