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!

Melissa took our annual family portraits before the holidays and we absolutely love our photos. 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®.

He also was very receptive to our list of music suggestions, and then we gave him freedom add his own ideas, while respecting our "do not play" list, and it all turned out fantastic. Our guests jumped at the first chance given to dance, and they were on the floor the entire time - we had so many compliments on the success of our daughter's wedding reception and what a great party it was! Kudos to Mark for your contribution to the atmosphere by providing us with excellent music, and acting as our Master of Ceremonies so well. Excellent work! Thank you thank you thank you!!!

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!!

If I could, I'd hire Tom Daly to follow me around every day taking photos and documenting my…read morevarious adventures. He has a unique talent for making everything he photographs look colorful and full of life. He's done photo shoots for some musician friends of mine, and he has a wonderful professional style. He pays close attention to the personalities of the people he's photographing so that he can focus on bringing those personalities out in the photographs. The end result doesn't have that manufactured feeling you get looking at other photo shoot pictures. He's not going to tell you where to stand, how to tilt your head, or what you should be doing with your hands. He just encourages you to forget he's even there so that he can take classy, crisp photos of you enjoying the moment. On top of his amazing ability to create art out of even the most ordinary moments, he's just a super nice guy. He's really easy going, and is a real joy to have around. I highly recommend Tom Daly to anyone thinking of tying the knot, and to musicians that want to get some really unique and fun professional press shots.

Tom is able to get such great photos because he is a very mellow, unassuming guy. He puts his…read moresubjects at ease quickly, which allows him to meld into the background and catch his subjects in their natural state. Tom does all of the publicity photos for my band, Califia, even though we are based in California. That's how much we think of him; we only do photos when he is in town. Hire Tom for some very unique, iconic images.

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 stumbled on Sean's site, because we were looking for a photographer in that local area. From beginning to end, Sean was a professional. He listened to our ideas and incorporated what we wanted into the pictures. Our ceremony was about 2 weeks ago, and we just got out pictures back. We LOVE THEM. They are so picturesque! He captured the emotion while capturing the ambiance. After leaving Sean and deciding on what pictures we liked, on the way home, I actually cried. I told my fiancee that was one of the most important things to me-THE PICTURES and they turned out better than we could hav ever imagined! Sean absolutely EXCEEDED OUR EXPECTATIONS! I highly recommend him! You will not be disappointed!

I was so impressed with the bouquets, boutonnieres, and all of the arrangements on the tables and ceremony. Everything was more lush and beautiful than I had imagined and their work really made our reception come to life. We ended up deciding to add in greenery for our tent poles and they absolutely completed the beautiful look we were going for. I am honestly still so impressed with how much beauty we were able to get for a great price and would love to use them for an event in the future!
