We…read moremoved from CA and was new to the area and I have been on a hunt for a photographer that fits what we were looking for. I am SO glad we found Melissa! She is so personable and with us throughout the whole session. She even made my very shy daughter so comfortable in front of her lens. We loved our photos and our friends and family did too! Definitely book her private session as it is worth every dollar spent. Memories like this last a lifetime! Thank you again for the wonderful photos and I can't wait for our next session!

"Above and beyond" and "beyond my wildest dreams" is how I would describe Melissa Arlena and the…read morebrand photoshoot she did for me. I reached out to Melissa for new website photos. Melissa made time to meet with my website designer to hear her needs and also went above and beyond to find the PERFECT location for the shoot, especially during the winter and during a global pandemic. Melissa got to know me and the brand I was trying to create. She did her research and came prepared with a shot list. During the shoot, she made sure we checked the box on all of the shots I wanted, and there were a lot. I have a complex business with lots of services, and she nailed it. Melissa made me feel comfortable and at home. Getting photos taken can be very vulnerable; her patient and soothing guidance made me feel like I could be myself, and that showed up in the photos. The photos came out amazing. As a former performing artist, I have done many shoots and this is by far the best shots of me I have ever seen. I received the photos back within two weeks, as promised. Melissa took time to retouch everything and remove any "uglies," so the experience of viewing my photos was just as joyful as taking them. She has a great eye and chose her top favorites to help direct my choices. I can't recommend Melissa enough - I will surely never hire another photographer again. I have found my person! - Lauren Green, Owner and Executive Director, Dancing with Markers®.

I can't say enough good things about this company. My husband and I had a lot of fun shooting with…read moreMatt and it was so nice to offer ideas and see him create exactly what I pictured. Matt has a very diverse career history which made me feel more comfortable asking for poses I might not have asked for otherwise. Scheduling the sessions was a breeze with Wistar! I highly recommend them and would use their services again!

If you are considering having Jo as your photographer for your engagement shoot, wedding shoot,…read morefamily shot and more.. DO IT! Jo is incredible at what she does! My now husband and I never kissed until our wedding day and she helped us feel comfortable with each other and have fun at the same time. She is so easy to work with, on time, super professional but not stiff. She is so relational and kind. Her quality of work is out of this world! Do it. Do it. DO IT! YOU WONT REGRET IT!

Celeste was awesome! I wanted some graduation photos to commemorate my grad school graduation, even…read morethough the ceremony was canceled. Celeste went to both the Rotunda and my school with me and got all of the shots I wanted (and more!!). She was so good about coaching me through poses and made me feel comfortable in front of the camera. I was so happy with how the pictures ended up. They're beautiful, light and airy--exactly what I wanted and an awesome way to wrap up my school career.

Celeste was amazing from top to bottom. I first contacted her about an engagement shoot, warning…read moreher that we wanted to be adventurous and had some fun locations in mind. She was totally down with that! So, of course, we did the same for the wedding itself! She braved ladders, broken down buildings, river crossings, and tunnels for us to get the perfect pictures. During the wedding itself, she and her assistant captured all the moments I requested and kept the portraits moving along. The photos turned out gorgeous and I couldn't be happier!

We used the photo booth of Charlottesville for our wedding in Orange VA this weekend and it was a…read morehuge hit. We wanted to have a parting gift that was more meaningful than say homemade jelly or candles etc. The photo booth allowed us to give the guests an added experience and captured memories. The guests raved about the photo strips and the dress up stuff. Plus we got copies too! They even make the photos available online for posting afterwards. We just had the event, so we haven't gotten the online ones yet. Wouldn't you know it though, a ton of people took photos of the strips with their phones and posted in FB. They are hilarious to look at. Nate was incredibly professional and the service was impeccable. Super reasonable price. Highly recommend!

I never even heard of photo booth but ran across it in Groupon. I searched for someone near our…read morewedding site in Barboursville and there was Photo booth of Charlottesville! I was able to work with Nate and get a price that matched the Groupon prices. It was a last minute decision and Nate booked us a few days before the wedding! It was the best decision we made. I thought I was getting it to keep the kids entertained but all of our guests really enjoyed it. It was a major hit! Even Nate and his wife jumped in some photos with our guests! I have great pictures to take home for my scrapbook and posted some online. Photobooth allowed us to capture our guests truly having a great time and left us with lasting tangible memories and great take aways for the guests! We received a copy of every photo taken in the booth so we could enjoy them right away and now waiting for the USB with all the pix in soft copy. I would hire Nate for all of our future parties. His energy level and professionalism were outstanding. I highly recommend Photo booth of Charlottesville!!

Aaron Watson did a family photo session for us last summer and did an amazing job, especially…read moreconsidering our sometime stubborn 18 month old and 4 year old dog wanted to explore more than pose for pictures. But that was the beauty of Aaron's work. He not only got our son to smile, but he took pictures that captured our son's curiosity and spirit. To be able to work with home like that and capture the mood was beyond perfect. We had a great time roaming a peach orchard and chomping down on strawberries with a beautiful mountain back drop. After our amazing session Aaron had us back to his home/studio to share the photographs. It was so touching viewing it a comfortable setting as he does. I would (and have!) recommend AW photography to anyone looking for family/children photography in a heart beat.

My husband and I stumbled on the Greenock manor while looking for a last minute romantic getaway in…read moreCharlottesville, and though it was a little off the beaten path in Orange, we thought we'd give it a try. Wow, we were glad we did!! From the time we booked, the owner, Chanel, texted us to ask when we would arrive, and offered restaurant recommendations. When we arrived, she made us feel special and welcome with a "special parking spot"- which was under a covered area and great because it provided us cover from the rain while unpacking our car. We stayed in the honeymoon suite and were pleasantly surprised that the room and gorgeous bathroom looked even better in person than the pics online. Chanel was the right mix of attentive while still giving us lots of privacy. We really enjoyed this lovely manor, and you can tell a lot of love has gone into making it. Highly recommended for a cozy romantic getaway!

We worked with the owner to book a date, told her how important the date we chose was, and she…read morewouldn't send a contract. On the day of meeting to see the venue, literally 30 minutes before the meeting, she sent my fiancé an email and said someone else already booked our date. When I asked how that's possible without viewing the venue, she stated that you can pay by PayPal, checks, over the phone, etc. when I asked why I wasn't given these options to secure my date, I was told my fiancé didn't want to book and pay for anything until we saw the venue, which was the complete opposite of the emails my fiancé sent her. In hindsight, We went by the venue and it didn't look like the photos on the website did. It looked a lot smaller, and everything is set up in a little portion of the front yard. The decorations looked run down due to weather. I would NOT RECOMMEND booking here. Edit: Since posting this review, I've received about 10 emails and 17 missed calls from the owner. The latest email stated that if I do not take this negative review down, they'll have no choice to sue both myself and my fiancé. Again, please do yourself a favor and keep looking for a different venue. Orange is beautiful, and there are a lot more venues there that are beautiful.
