WHAT'S UP!
I'M EILISH
A CHARLOTTESVILLE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
Picture this: You’re watching the first short film you ever made with your college best friends – on the local theatre’s big screen, nonetheless. As you’re watching it (even though it kinda sucks, tbh), you’re realizing that this experience is what ignites your fiery passion for creativity and will serve as inspiration for crafting your dream career. That’s the short version of how I became a wedding photographer for fun and funky couples like you. My background in cinematography has given me a much deeper understanding of light and movement- giving my images a theatrical feeling. Mix that with my love for a good time and you have reception pics straight out of your own personal Project X.
WHAT I'M PLAYING ON REPEAT
AN ODE TO ORIGINALITY
I'm constantly inspired by the things I surround myself with in day-to-day life. The originality and creativity in every crevice of snowboard and skate culture (ask me for some sick street video parts). The moxie and chaos of my favorite bands. The passion and camaraderie shared with some of my closest friends and family. These are all aspects that I unconventionally draw from when creating. I don't want your wedding photos to look like everyone else's. You deserve to have images that showcase your wedding in all it's chaotic, beautiful, messy, imperfect glory.

MY APPROACH
BUT YOU CAN SEE FOR YOURSELF HERE
Life's too short to have boring wedding photos. Little moments deserve just as much attention in my book. The candid laughs, the stolen glances, the slick high fives and butt grabs. I take an irreverent approach to the traditional wedding industry, which means I strive to photograph the day the way you want it documented, not how tradition dictates. I pride myself on efficient portraits while keeping it fun, so you can spend more of your wedding doing what you want (ahem, going to your cocktail hour). By taking a documentary approach to photography, it means I'm shooting the moments that are already happening. You won't have to worry about awkwardly posing in an artificially created moment. If you're looking for someone to document you two having the best party of your life that reflects your unique personalities you're in the right spot.

She brought such great energy and we were both very comfortable making out in front of her camera.
