Stanardsville, VA
  • Photographer

**If you are interested in booking me, please contact me via my website or Facebook to reach me! As I do not respond here** Hey! My name is Chelsi! 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. I perform CT Scans and X-rays for patients there. My main passion in life is making people smile and to travel the world.

Chelsi Breeden Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very first meeting, Chelsi was fast, efficient, and easy to talk to, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. Her directional guidance and experienced eye resulted in stunning photos that will truly capture the joy and magic of our special day. We couldn't be happier with the value and quality of her work, and highly recommend Chelsi Breeden Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience. Working with Chelsi took a huge stress off my back, and she's so much fun to work with.

Julie, Scott, and their team made our wedding day perfect. From the first site visit and throughout the planning process, they were amazing communicators. The venue has gorgeous outdoor spaces for the ceremony and cocktail reception. The indoor space is flexible for a reception with a dance floor. There are chairs for both the ceremony and reception as well as tables. We chose to have a June wedding and when the temps entered the upper 90s, we were grateful for the A/C reception space. Even better, there are two suites that the wedding party can use to make for a seamless process getting ready. We enjoyed our experience so very much. Lastly, the bathrooms there were also excellent and let’s be real, that’s a crucial component for any good party.

Josh and Tiffany and the team at Lydias were phenomenal leading up to the day and on the day! They graciously allowed us to visit the venue multiple times to make sure that all of our information was straight and decided upon. We were luckily able to have almost all of the lodge rooms booked up along with a couple of cabins which made the whole weekend even better! Everything that would be needed for a wedding is provided, ceremony chairs, an arbor, reception tables and chairs, and even centerpieces! Having an in house catering team is also a huge plus and one less vendor we had to do research on. Having a bridal suite on site was critical so that we could have enough space and not have to worry about transportation. I would recommend this venue over and over again for any event!

Lexa Visuals was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding videography. Their communication was always timely, easy, and personable, which made the entire process stress-free. The quality of their work and the value they provided was truly exceptional - their approach was romantic, and they took our specific ideas and preferences into consideration. On the day of our wedding, we honestly forgot they were there, which was amazing for capturing all the candid, special moments. They listened to our wishes to get footage of a family heirloom that was important to us. We just received our teaser video and the tears started flowing again - it was everything we wanted and more. They even used a song that I had specially requested as a surprise to my husband. We are beyond thrilled with Lexa Visuals and would recommend them to any couple looking for a talented, thoughtful videography team to capture their big day.

Their warmth and hospitality make the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. One of my favorite standout features of Lovingston Winery is the historic farm house, which is the perfect getting ready space. It's wonderfully well-lit, offering a comforting and serene environment that sets the tone for the day. Plus, their reception pavilion is absolutely beautiful and brimming with charm. It’s the perfect blend of rustic elegance, making it a delightful space for celebrating with loved ones. I cannot recommend Lovingston Winery enough for anyone looking to host their wedding at a venue that is as dreamy and picturesque as it is welcoming and accommodating.

Hello I'm Katelyn owner and lead planner for Champagne Wishes. Congratulations on your engagement and thank you for clicking on Champagne Wishes' profile. The CW team is very dedicated to every client, and work incredibly hard to help you throw the wedding you have been dreaming of for your guests. We work with you every step of the way. No wedding is the same; it never should be, and we always treat it as such.

Awarded Best of Zola
Champagne Wishes helped us plan and execute our 75-person wedding in June 2025 in just four months – we’re not sure how we would have done it without them! Starting from our consultation, Katelyn was extremely personable and encouraging. We were of course nervous about our tight timeline, but she quickly made us feel at ease. She honored our vision, asked the right questions, and helped us be decisive during the planning process when we needed it. Sulli took over as our day-of-coordinator and did an amazing job memorizing our timeline and all the small details of the day. She managed parking attendants from CW and tricky traffic down our venue’s one-lane road with ease, ensuring our guests had a seamless experience. Both Katelyn and Sulli were great communicators, answering our many questions in a timely manner and handling all communication with the vendor team as we approached the big day. The best testimony of how well they worked together was that after the wedding we had multiple guests and even fellow vendors remark on how smooth and effortless the day felt. We are so grateful to the entire team and we highly recommend Champagne Wishes for all your wedding planning needs! As a side note, we also worked with CW for some day-of rentals such as gorgeous wooden benches for our ceremony, cocktail tables, and LED candles. They have a large, well-priced inventory and it was super convenient to get everything in one place. Definitely recommend taking a look!

Eilish Bailey Photography

  • Photographer

  • Serves Stanardsville, 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.

Montfair Resort Farm was the perfect venue for our wedding day. From the moment we first inquired, their communication was quick, easy, and mostly over email, making the planning process a breeze. The venue itself is truly gorgeous, with sweeping views and lush, soft grass that created a cozy and intimate atmosphere. Victoria, the on-site coordinator, was super hands-on in helping us plan the details, but also gave us the flexibility to put our own personal touches on the day. They provided all the tables and chairs we needed, and even set up beautiful tiki torches along the ceremony field. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful and well-executed wedding celebration. Highly recommend Montfair Resort Farm to any couple looking for a stunning, rustic-chic venue with an amazing team to work with.

I got married at Hardware Hills in March 2025. It was hands down the best day of my life and I couldn't have picked a better place to get married. My now husband and I toured the venue in the Fall of 2024 while the new event space was in the process of getting built. Lori was amazing at keeping me updated on the progress and the finished product turned out amazing. I enjoyed working with the entire Hardware Hills team and would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for an event space. The bridal suite is so beautiful and easily accommodated my bridal part of 6 plus other members of my family that was getting ready there that day. The groom and his groomsmen enjoyed getting to relax at the cottage the morning of the wedding. Everything was so amazing! If you're looking for a wedding venue, definitely check this place out.

L'etoile Catering

  • Caterer
  • Serves Stanardsville, VA

We began serving Charlottesville with French and Virginia-inspired cooking at our restaurant, l’etoile, in 1993. Our catering business grew out of that experience, and out of our desire to take part in the celebrations, the rituals, and the ceremonies of people throughout the Central Virginia community. Catering allows us to reach, care for, and serve a larger audience, and to customize consistently excellent culinary experiences for our clients. We have a history of procuring the finest, freshest ingredients for the meals we create and serve, and access to those ingredients through relationships we’ve cultivated for more than 20 years.

Awarded Best of Zola
Vickie and Mark of L'Etoile made our wedding incredible from the moment we first started discussions with them. They were incredibly knowledgeable, knowing all of the important logistics that will matter during the day, caring, ensuring that all guests (and the married couple) were fed, and flexible, making changes with us as we moved through the planning process. The food was delicious and our tasting with Vickie and Mark was probably the highlight of our planning process. They worked with various allergies and dietary restrictions and made sure that the night flowed seamlessly. I also want to highlight that Vickie is incredibly kind and supportive of her staff, making sure that they were learning great skills in a supportive environment. As someone who has worked food service and catering before, seeing this made me feel even better about our choice to work with them.

Over all the venue was great everything was well kept. A little packed in the cabins due to the school supplies being in there but overall very clean and easy to communicate with the venue.

Amanda handled my now husband and I's engagement photos and she was just amazing to work with. She was so knowledgeable and easy going! She answered all of our questions and had examples to show us of her work and really just took the stress out of the entire process, which really helps out anxious brides like me! The photoshoot itself was so much fun! I was worried it was going to be awkward but she knew just what to say to get us great photos that really let us and our relationship shine through. Of course, the photos themselves were just amazing. Amanda even gave us recommendations for the best dimensions to get the photos printed in! Overall, you can't go wrong here!

My entire bridal party and I stayed here my wedding weekend and it was fabulous! The house is so large so no one felt on top of eachother with multiple seating areas and common spaces all beautifully decorated Not to mention my cousin and I got to wake everyone up with our piano playing in the formal living room on the day of our wedding. The property is absolutely gorgeous and I felt like I was in a Nancy Myers movie while staying here. The landscaping is so well done and the massive kitchen was so helpful in feeding everyone while we were getting our hair and makeup done! Not to mention it was so great being able to have my dog there with me!

The grounds are just absolutely stunning! I love and will cherish this venue for life! I also cannot stop gushing to everyone about Connie, our coordinator.

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
Incredibly talented, always listens to the couple's needs, flexible, generous, smart, artistic, kind, and fun! Audra was the absolute best. She made us feel so comfortable, even though we are camera shy. The wedding flew by in a flash, but I'm so grateful for the incredible photos which will last forever so I can enjoy the day over and over again!

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!

Working with Nadia was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very first meeting, she was kind, professional, creative, and organized. Every detail was handled with such care and we truly felt supported throughout the entire planning process. She understood our vision perfectly and elevated it in ways we never could have imagined. Her communication was always prompt, and on the wedding day itself, everything flowed wonderfully. We even tried out a new layout/timeline for our venue, and she nailed it! We were able to relax and fully enjoy the day knowing she was handling everything. Our wedding was beyond anything we dreamed of, and we owe so much of that to Nadia and Mary Elizabeth Events. If you’re looking for a planner who is organized, creative, organized, open, and genuinely invested in making your day perfect, look no further :)

  • Starts at $4,500

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.

My son recently got married at Earlyhouse, and the entire experience was nothing short of perfect. The venue was gorgeous. Everywhere you looked, there was a stunning backdrop for wedding photos. We were especially grateful to have the day-of coordinated by Katie, who worked behind the scenes to coordinate with all of us (coming from Florida, Texas, Maryland, Tennessee, & New York) and our vendors, she even managed my sons wedding timeline. It was evident that she genuinely cared about making the day special for our family. Her dedication and professionalism shined upon us the whole time. Because of Katie's expertise and dedication, we were able to relax and truly enjoy the day without any stress or concerns. Knowing that everything was in capable hands allowed us to be fully present in the moment, celebrating our son and new daughter-in-laws special day. 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.

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.

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!!!
