Introduction

I have my own aesthetic when it comes to portrait photography. Rather than taking generic photos that everyone expects, I aim to collaborate closely with my clients and co-create moments that feel personal and meaningful. I have experience shooting a wide range of sessions, including wedding coverage, solo portraits, couple and best friend shoots, and graduation photos. My style is emotionally expressive yet timeless. I shoot with Fujifilm cameras, known for their unique film-like color profiles that elevate every image with a cinematic feel. If you’re looking for a photographer who values connection and creativity as much as composition, I’d love to work with you.

I've had the absolute pleasure of working with Wayne on so many different shoots over the years—from gala night elegance to rugged Shenandoah hikes, from dreamy cherry blossoms in spring to vibrant maple leaves in autumn, from joyful graduation portraits to sweet couple photos that mean so much to me. Every time, Wayne has gone above and beyond—not just as a photographer, but as a creative partner and friend. He has an incredible eye for composition and light, and somehow always manages to capture the exact mood and emotion of each moment. Whether we were dressed to the nines or trekking through nature, he made every shoot feel effortless and fun. He always brings the best energy, helps with posing ideas, and makes sure every shot feels natural and uniquely “me.” Looking back at the photos we've taken together, I’m just so thankful. Each one is not just a picture—it’s a memory frozen in time, captured beautifully. Thank you, Wayne, for documenting such special chapters of my life. I can't wait to work with you again in the future!

Working with Wayne’s Photography was such a great experience. We did a four-hour shoot around Charlottesville, hitting some amazing spots like Monticello, the Rotunda at UVA, and the farmer’s market. From the start, Wayne was super easy to work with — really responsive and organized. During the shoot, he made us feel totally comfortable. He’s great at giving direction without making it awkward, and he helped guide us through poses in a really natural way. You can tell he really knows his gear — he was constantly adjusting things like lighting, aperture, and framing to get the perfect shot. He’s got a great eye for composition and captured so many beautiful candid moments. Plus, he was super patient and never made us feel rushed. Honestly, it just felt like hanging out with someone who really knows what they’re doing.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I always give you all the photos we take, and I’ll edit 10 of them for free. My rates mostly depend on how long we shoot and how many people are involved: – For portraits with up to 4 people, it’s $200 per hour – For larger groups, we can talk and figure out what works best – For engagement or wedding shoots, pricing starts at $300, depending on how long and how far I need to travel I’m very flexible with budget — just be upfront with me, and I’ll try my best to work something out that fits your needs.
