3 Cats Photo

  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,900
  • Serves Lovingston, 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!).

I am absolutely obsessed with The Market at Grelen! There is an endless amount of possibility for photos on the property.

Their options for ceremony locations are all you could ever ask for to invite all your friends and family witness your union & photographer's dream. The best part is the views that overlook the nursery with the Virginia Blue Ridge Mountains that are unmatched at golden hour. The Greenhouse Reception tent has the most beautiful light any time of day & the reflection of the lights above is truly so romantic. Everywhere you look on the property makes a great photograph. The staff is so friendly and just does the best job running the show. Every wedding I've had the opportunity to photograph there has just been top notch & has gone so smoothly!

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.

Just steps from the barn, the Ceremony Lawn is framed by quintessential Virginia views and is equipped with power outlets for a hassle-free ceremony. Our priority is to work with couples and their families to create a smooth and memorable wedding experience. We hope to see you soon at Tiffin Farm.

We loved our wedding at Tiffin Farm! The views, the versatility of the barn’s style, the cocktail hour location, and much more! The location is conveniently less than 30 minutes from downtown Charlottesville, much more convenient than other venues we looked at. We couldn’t recommend it more to any couple looking for a venue in the Charlottesville area!

The Club at Glenmore 

5.0

Keswick, VA
  • Venue
  • Up to 250 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $21,000

As a full-service venue, we offer in-house catering, rentals, and several unique locations for your big day! Our beautifully renovated Ballroom was designed with you in mind—it provides a blank canvas to transform into whatever vision you love (and has beautiful local reclaimed wooden floors)! For outdoor ceremony, we have two beautiful options. The first is on the 10th tee. This location overlooks the golf course and the Blue Ridge Mountains. The other outdoor option is the Glenmore Pavilion. Designed by the team behind Pippin Hill, this beautiful, new open-air pavilion overlooks the golf course and the Blue Ridge Mountains, and it is covered so you would not need to worry about renting a tent for your outdoor space. This location is perfect for both ceremony and reception.

Jack and I could not have imagined a better venue for our wedding than The Club at Glenmore in Keswick, Virginia. Growing up in Charlottesville, I knew that I wanted to get married in my hometown. Wineries are a popular choice in Charlottesville, but they are mostly located in the surrounding counties which require a long drive from hotels. Winery weddings can also require coordinating a lot of rentals (decor, tables, chairs, etc.) and finding a caterer. After researching all of the venues around Charlottesville, we chose The Club at Glenmore or many reasons. One, the beautiful and convenient location. Glenmore was conveniently located only about 10 minutes from our hotel block on Pantops which made it easy for guests and shuttles. Even though the location is close to town, it is situated inside a beautiful gated neighborhood with views of the mountains, rolling horse pastures, and well maintained golf course. So it feels like it's out in the country without actually being that far away from town! Two, the full service. Glenmore provides so much for its couples! It has an amazing on-site chef so we did not need to find a separate catering company. This was one of our main deciding factors! Couples even do the food & wine tasting at the venue which makes for a fun day trip :) Glenmore provides all of the ceremony chairs, reception chairs, tables, glassware, serving ware, flatware, etc. So we did not need to rent anything except purchase some decorations. Speaking of decorations, Glenmore has many decor pieces that we were able to use! They have arbors, prosecco walls, a boxwood wall for photo opps, votive candle and holders, charger plates, up-lights, bistro lights, etc. Three, the amenities. Getting ready spaces, ceremony locations, cocktail terrace, reception ballroom - Glenmore has it all! Glenmore has a beautiful bridal suite that the ladies in my bridal party were able to use all morning. The bridal suite has plenty of room to get ready in, hang dresses in, store decor in, and even take pictures in. There is a separate space downstairs where the guys can get ready in too! We all enjoyed spending the morning and early afternoon together in these spaces while eating breakfast and lunch prepared for by Glenmore! The space was also convenient for our vendors too. They could come and check in with me throughout the morning since I was getting ready on-site. There are many ceremony locations to choose from if you want your ceremony at Glenmore. We actually switched our ceremony location within about 2 weeks of the wedding and Glenmore was very accommodating with this switch. Finally, the beautiful ballroom was another major deciding factor for us. We had our wedding in the summer, so we knew we wanted to have the reception indoors in an air conditioned room. Four, the staff. Glenmore takes pride in providing top notch service to its clients. Kim, the event coordinator at Glenmore, helped us so much from start to finish. She walked us through the wedding process, answered the many questions we had, worked with all of our vendors, met with us for our tasting and walkthroughs, made sure that all of our requests were met, and coordinated the entire Glenmore team on our wedding day. If you are looking for a beautiful full-service wedding venue with everything including an amazing on-site caterer, top notch staff, convenient location, and gorgeous views, Glenmore is the place for you!!

The Carolyn Baldwin Lake Pavilion is named after our dear loved one, Carolyn Varner Baldwin, who unexpectedly passed away in 2008 due to an allergic reaction. She was the matriarch of our family and a beautiful, one-in-a-billion type of person with a generous and loving spirit. She was a talented gardener, a devoted fisherwoman who could out-fish the best of 'em (we're talking "sun-up-til-sundown" kind of fishing), was creative and artsy, and never knew a stranger. We felt it only fitting to name this lovely place in her memory. We are a family-operated business. Joanna is the General Manager and works with each client to accommodate varying event needs. She handles a wide range of aspects of the business, from answering questions about what will make your event run smoothly to giving you layout suggestions. She has worked with over 200 wedding & event clients over the last 10 years and has learned quite a bit about weddings & event planning through her experiences.

Joanna at Carolyn Baldwin is the best to work with. She is responsive and helpful and knowledgeable about the area and exactly what's needed for a successful event. The venue is picturesque and beautiful on the lake and the price is more than reasonable for what you get. Definitely recommend!

From day 1, they want to know everything about you and your plans and if you haven't even started, they offer so many resources and recommendations to help with anything you may need.

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. Specialties include surprise engagements, and weddings ranging in size and complexity from elopements with a handful of guests, to multi-day celebrations with many hundreds of guests.

Jack is so wonderful. From our first call, we knew that he would be our guy. He is so laid back yet still professional. It was easy for all of our guests to approach him for photos if they wanted. He kept an eye on the sunset and whisked us away for a few amazing shots. He quickly got the obligatory family shots out of the way, very painlessly. He even suggested another local place to go for our first look that was more private and so beautiful. He really looks out for you and what you want. Also, he works insanely quickly. He is really fast to reply to emails as well. You cannot go wrong with Jack. He did such a great job and helped us to relax. HIGHLY recommend him. Book him already!!

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Lovingston, VA

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Lucy was by far one of our favorite wedding vendors! Professional, personable, flexible, and abundantly helpful (especially given the crazy ups and downs of planning a 2020 wedding!), Lucy produced beautiful pictures of our wedding that kept in mind everything we had asked for, from our personal style to the needs and preferences of our various family members and friends during what was an especially tricky season. Not only that, Lucy even helped with the event planning side of things too by creating day-of schedule options to help us organize. Lucy's warm, friendly presence had everyone smiling, and we received multiple compliments from friends on the way she blended and helped to capture the day as it moved along, calmly handling any hiccups that arose. My husband and I are still saying, "We love Lucy!"

My October 2019 wedding at Trump Winery, more than, exceeded my expectations. It was everything I have ever wanted my wedding to be!! The venue itself is astonishing. We were married at The Chapel there and got ready at he Bridal Suite at the Barn (which was breathtaking in itself). The autumn views at the winery in Virginia was just the cherry on top. The event manager Coleen Larson was such a joy to work with & made the experience seamless. She helped me every step of the way, even with a short time frame we had to work with. We planned it all in less than 3 months. We have received so many compliments of our intimate wedding (25-30 guests) & the pictures and videos from it are just amazing. Virginia Schweninger, the harpist was also phenomenal. Together, we we picked each song to make my wedding special & it truly turned out wonderfully. I would do this over and over again, if I could. My husband was also very impressed. We could not have asked for more! Beautiful!!! just beautiful.

I cannot recommend Earlyhouse enough-both for its breathtaking beauty and the exceptional staff who made our sons wedding a day we will cherish forever.

To put it simply, we love planning weddings. There's something magical about taking every little detail of such an important occasion and bringing them together to create lifelong memories for our couples and their families. ​ Based in beautiful Charlottesville, we are an experienced wedding and event planner team dedicated to making your dream wedding come to life. We don't want any couple (or their families) to have the stress of managing all of the event details on the wedding day. After all, the guests of honor should be enjoying every moment!

Mary was so great to work with! We could not have made it through our wedding day without her! My fiance and I moved to a new city and both started new jobs all within three months of the wedding which was a huge additional stressor. Mary worked around our crazy schedules and helped keep us on track with planning and the million details that have to fall in to place before the big day. There were so many details that I never would have thought to prepare for without Mary reminding me. I never felt overwhelmed though because I knew Mary had everything under control to make our wedding wonderful. Mary was so thoughtful and caring and did everything in her power to make my dream wedding a reality.

  • Serves Lovingston, VA

My favorite things on earth are love, fashion, flowers, sunshine, family, humor, music, architecture, and food—these are the components that make a wedding day. I make art documentaries about love. I will not direct you, and I will not apply a filter over your footage so it looks like a basic wedding video. Every couple and every occasion is given their own special light and feel. I am obsessed with capturing your event in the realist way possible, meanwhile creating a piece of art you will cherish forever. I fixate on expressions, color, texture, light, and composition.

Amanda is amazing at her craft; you can definitely see the thoughtfulness and quality that goes into the final product. Throughout the wedding day, she can be seen shooting many detailed angles and asking what you want included. My final video was of amazing quality, and we’re so glad we booked with her! 5+ stars!!!

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!!

Where to begin! We have loved King Family Vineyards and the people there for a long time, so it was special to be married there. Throughout the planning process, their events team was very helpful & responsive. We met with Amanda about a month before, and walked through several last minute details. She was so incredibly helpful, answered several questions, and was so generous with her time and input. On the day of our wedding, we had to make a last minute change of ceremony location due to rain, and we had our ceremony on the patio. It was absolutely stunning, intimate, and smooth. The staff helped us above and beyond with last minute details, changes, chair-moving, etc. We felt so cared for throughout our wedding planning process, and definitely on the day-of. We’re beyond happy that we were married at KFV. There is nothing quite like it ☺ Thank you to all the KFV staff and family!!

This garden wedding venue and historic property is named after the stunning boxwood bushes that encircle it, creating a magical and romantic atmosphere.

The delicate architecture of the house exudes elegance and charm, with spacious grounds that feature lush gardens and towering trees that are perfect for outdoor ceremonies and receptions. With its blend of traditional elegance and contemporary amenities, Boxwood Villa is an ideal choice for couples looking for a truly magical venue.

We had our wedding at Boxwood Villa on May 4, 2024, and it was completely perfect. Our family from out of town came a few days early to get settled and prepare, and there was plenty of space for us to spread out and also to hang out together. The beds were insanely comfortable and the accommodations were amazing. While we planned to have the ceremony on the front lawn, the rain had other plans and the team jumped into action and was ready to host our 30 guests on the spacious, gorgeous covered porch. The cocktail hour was held on the first level, and the beautiful house made for some incredible photo opportunities. The lawn was the most amazing place for the tent where our reception was held, and it was just as magical as everywhere else. Everyone commented on how perfect the venue was, including my family. I can't wait to visit again in the future to re-live these incredible memories. Thank you, Boxwood Villa!!!

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.

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!!!

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.

As a wedding decorator, I get to work with many photographers and Ayesha Ahmad Photography is one of my favorites! I love her style of photography and she is very easy to work with! She takes great portraits of couples as well as decor shots!

I have a love for all things wild and natural, scented blossoms, mossy twigs, and starry nights. Flowers simply make my heart sing. I believe the magic of growing and gathering was planted in me years ago as a young girl, working alongside my mother picking wildflowers and lily of the valley. How I create is deeply rooted in who I am; a floral designer, grower, and potter. I feel my art background has been a really strong foundation for floral design as textures, color, and design are all intertwined with both arts.

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!

Hello, We LOVE working with Cake Fight. Anytime we hire them, our guests compliment the music and leave us positive reviews. More importantly, they pack the house. What is normally a somewhat tranquil, quiet winery quickly becomes a joyful dancing hall full of intoxicating energy. Small children to retirement aged guests ditch their tastings to cut a rug and sing along. Our staff dances their way through their shifts with a smile. We highly recommend locking these folks in for your wedding or private event.

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.
