Charlottesville Wedding Photographer
Cecilia is a film a digital wedding photographer based in Charlottesville, Virginia. Her style blends the timeless honesty of documentary photography with editorial artistry, aiming to create art and capture your connections as you live them. Whether you are looking to celebrate your wedding day surrounded by everyone you know, or keeping it simple, you are in the right place.
My goal is to photograph you, your partner, and your wedding day as it naturally unfolds. My couples value the friendships and relationships of those around them and I understand how important it is to remember their presence. I document my couples in the joy they are experiencing and let that emotion shine through the images, rather than expecting them to pose or act in front of the camera. I step in to guide when needed and fade into the background when appropriate. My approach is to find ways to serve every couple and meet their individual needs, as each love story is unique and personal – your photography should reflect that.
Photographs that feel like your wedding—not a photoshoot.
My wish for you on your wedding day is for you to be present.
I want you there, breathing in all of your moments -the loud ones, the fast ones, the big ones, the small ones, and definitely the silent ones.
I want you to remember more than what your wedding looked like.
I want you to remember how it felt.
I understand the value of the friendships, the relationships of those gathered around and how important it is to remember their presence.
I ensure every dimension of your day is artfully documented
I am there for moments as they naturally unfold.
And when the moment calls for it, I'll step in with gentle direction to create portraits that feel intentional, effortless and beautifully you.
The result is a gallery of images that exude effortless elegance and modern sophistication, offering a timeless reflection of your celebration’s unique spirit.
Film + Digital
I photograph weddings using both film and digital photography, allowing each medium to contribute something different to the story.
Film brings a softness, depth and timeless quality to the moments that deserve to linger.
Digital allows me to move quickly and unobtrusively through the day, preserving all the fleeting moments that happen in between.
Together, they create a gallery that feels layered, emotional and complete.
A calm presence on a meaningful day
Your photographer is with you through some of the most intimate and emotional parts of your wedding day.
So beyond the photographs themselves, I care deeply about how it feels to have me there.
My approach is calm, observant and personal.
I'll help when you need direction, disappear into the background when you don't, and keep an eye on the little moments that are easy to miss.
You shouldn't have to spend your wedding day worrying about your photographs.
You should be living it.
For couples who care about the details
You have probably spent months—or years—imagining this day.
The flowers. The dress. The table settings. The location. The people.
I want your photographs to preserve all of it without losing sight of the reason you're gathering in the first place.
The people.
The feeling.
The story.
