MY NUMBER on the enneagram
You dread the idea of having impersonal vendors hanging around the getting ready room and following you your whole wedding day. You kind of wish you had a best friend who was a wedding photographer so she could be there for you. Someone who knows the story of the epic scavenger hunt first date and how you knew right away he was the one. Someone who knows about the special relationship you have with your grandmother who is passing down the family heirloom pearls to you as a wedding gift. Someone who knows that your college roommates are your lifeline and helped you become the person you are today.

My superpower is relationships and my passion is to create a photography experience for couples that centers on your relationship with each other and your closest family and friends. From our very first meeting, I want to know you and your story so that by the time the wedding rolls around, you feel like you have another trusted friend joining you on your wedding day - not a vendor you barely know! On your big day, I also want to get to know your family and friends because they are so important to you and part of your story. I take seriously my role as a cheerleader and witness on your wedding day and want to provide the best and most personalized experience for you. That's why I only take one wedding per weekend - so I can focus all my energy on YOUR big day!
I'm Lucy and I'm a relationally driven boutique wedding photographer in Charlottesville VA. I'm all about capturing candid moments of connection and emotion with elegance and a pop of color. My photography journey started over 15 years ago with developing black and white film images in the darkroom and documenting the real, everyday moments of student life for my high school yearbook. A lot has changed since then, but my passion for creating art and beauty out of genuine moments with the people we care about remains.
The thing is, you are not just "bride" and "groom". Both of you come with a lifetime of unique stories, experiences, and relationships. So in a sea of wedding photographers in VA, how do you find the right one to capture YOUR unique story?
Most days you can find me hanging out with my husband and two boys soaking up cuddles, laughs, and chaos. I love to go for quiet walks in the woods, taste exotic foods at new restaurants, peruse the local bakeries for the most delicious pastries, practice vinyasa yoga, and sing. My heart is stirred by the breathtaking splendor of sunrises and sunsets, the serene grandeur of mountains, and the unconditional love and grace of God.
Lucy was our wedding photographer and was a delight to work with. She was organized and efficient, and brought such joy and good energy to our special day. We look back on our wedding day (and now the AMAZING photos she took) and 100% back our decision to hire Lucy. Highly recommend!

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!"

Lucy was an absolute joy to work with. Her passion for photography and for people shines through in every interaction we had over the course of our planning months. The photos from both our engagement session and wedding are so genuine and full of life! Her natural talent and know-how gave us great pictures that we will treasure!
Amber & Josh
Working with Lucy was a fantastic experience from beginning to end! We couldn’t be more happy with the beautiful and naturally candid photos she captured of our once-in-a-lifetime day. With her gentle and joyful presence, Lucy truly felt like one more friend joining in the celebration, and not just a hired vendor. Lucy’s personal touch made our wedding day even more special. And the beautifully tasteful photos she captured will help keep those memories alive for generations to come.

Lucy is the most amazing wedding photographer! She is prompt, responsive, thorough, extremely intentional and warm. We couldn't have asked for a better person to work with! We cherish our wedding photos and we were in awe at the way Lucy beautifully captured our special day like a story. She was so patient, gentle and encouraging and we'd recommend her to anyone!
