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.

Working with Kelly was better than I could have imagined! She talked with me over a Zoom call at the beginning of planning our wedding and made a wedding timeline with me. Over the months of planning our wedding, we edited the timeline a few times, and I was so happy to have her experience and guidance in that since we were not hiring a wedding coordinator. Kelly was prompt with her responses to my texts and emails, and always professional. Our engagement session with Kelly was so fun, and she made us both feel comfortable during our first professional photo shoot ever. She delivered over 100 photos just from our engagement shoot! The day of our wedding, Kelly wore many hats. She acted as coordinator by keeping everyone in line and everything according to our timeline. She was also basically my maid of honor, fixing my dress, buttoning my gown’s sleeves in the car on the way to our ceremony, and swapping her shoes with mine for 30 minutes so my feet could have a break from my uncomfortable shoes before our first dance. I also appreciated her taking charge when needed. It took some stress off of me and allowed me to enjoy our big day without having to boss people around, haha. When it was all said and done, she delivered about 1,000 stunning photos of our day that we will always cherish, and even sent 100 printed photos as a gift to us. Kelly, THANK YOU for making our wedding day run smoothly, hyping us both up, making us feel comfortable and heard, and delivering such special memories in picture form. 3 So thankful we found you to be our photographer!

Amanda Adams Photography

  • 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.

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!

When Annie and I booked him, we had full intentions to have him do our wedding. We put down the deposit, and then things went sideways financially. We unfortunately had to go back to him and cancel. My fiancé was devastated, so I reached out to him, and asked if he could do a quick hour shoot, like an engagement session. He was very quick to reply, and get us on the schedule. He was so kind and understanding, I truly wish we could have him for our wedding, but I am grateful he was willing to work with us. I know my wife-to-be and I are going to cherish those pictures forever.

People inspire me, YOU inspire me. I’d love to capture your story. I've grown to know this about myself when it comes to photography: my favorite style is a blend of documentary & journalism... the kind that takes you back and makes you feel a part of the moment when photo was actually captured. The type that TELLS A STORY, YOUR story. The kind that captures personality, messiness, and REAL expression. I'm obsessed with being able to do all of this through a lens and a camera. Beauty is in everyone, in everything, and everywhere.

Brandon, from the start, made it clear that his focus was to capture our big day the way we wanted to remember it. He worked hard to get to know the two of us as a couple and our style through the engagement shoot. When our wedding day arrived, he came inspired and prepared. Along with his assistant, Brandon made sure to get all of the best angles of the day and made sure to capture the emotion and ambiance as well. He knew we were game for some adventurous shots and he managed to create some truly magical moments that illustrated the romance and individuality of the evening. He worked flawlessly with our videographer and even outperformed our wedding coordinator in keeping us on track with all of the after-dinner events. We are SO infinitely grateful for his presence at our ceremony!! We can't recommend him enough.

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.

My wife and I decided to hire Mikkel because of the beautiful photos taken at my wife’s sister’s wedding! The glowing reviews she has from her past clients couldn’t be more true. Mikkel is professional, organized, compassionate, and treats you as if you were her own sister/family member. She truly cares about the couple’s experience and takes that into account from the moment you have your initial meeting with her. My wife and I were worried about being awkward in front of the camera, but mikkel put us at ease and made the entire process fun, guiding us to be ourselves and encouraging us to get lost in the moment! During the twists and turns of our wedding weekend, Mikkel never showed a sign of concern (regarding the tropical storm headed our way), but always stayed positive, assuring us that we would have the most beautiful memories no matter the weather! We can’t recommend mikkel enough! She is an immeasurable addition to your wedding day experience and will leave you with stunning and lasting memories to enjoy for the rest of your life!

Not only does he take beautiful photos (we have SO many favorites!), every step of the process was fun and absolutely perfect. He is very professional, accommodating, and incredibly detail-oriented, thoughtful and organized--perfect traits for a wedding photographer! Before coming to the wedding he went out of his way and asked if I was hungry or needed something from the store which was very considered. We truly couldn't have imagined a better photographer for our wedding day! We cannot thank and praise him enough, and we feel so lucky to have found him for our wedding. I would have a very hard time letting a friend of mine choose a different photographer.
