Callie Manion Photography

I am a Fine Art Film Wedding & Portrait Photographer. What that means is I photograph both Weddings + Portrait Sessions on film, but I do also shoot Digital Photography; and I curate everything so you can think of me as your Art Director, in addition to your Photographer. You will walk away with images that tell your story, exude emotion, and are curated with an editorial touch so they would fit into the pages of any high-end magazine. I am based in Charlottesville, Virginia, and I love to travel, so I am always available to travel worldwide for your wedding or Portrait Session. I travel for almost all of my clients and have photographed weddings/shoots in 23 states & 9 countries so far. If you are an adventurous couple looking to travel for your big day, you have come to the right place! My photography is a mix between storytelling and editorial. My images show emotion and feel raw, so you can relive your most meaningful moments again and again. I shoot with Film so I can deliver classic and timeless photography while giving you those creamy skin tones and beautiful nostalgic grain. My couples value photography and put their trust in me to capture all of them, even when it feels vulnerable. I'm a big believer in beauty coming from an inner place of letting go. Spend some time with me and you'll see exactly what I mean. I am an artist in the way of finding inspiration from anywhere. I am a creative in the way of looking at things from unique angles. I am a director in the way of trying new things and pushing boundaries. I am a planner in the way of walking you through the wedding process and providing helpful resources along the way. I am an organizer in the way of paying attention to detail, so your day will always run smoothly. I am a gifter in the way of spoiling you with gratitude + gifts for being chosen to capture your story. I am an empath in the way of taking on your stress so you can have a fun and relaxed wedding day. I am a friend in the way of always being available to you throughout the process and after. I am a cherisher in the way of never taking for granted the honor of documenting such important moments. I am a romantic in the way of hopelessly believing that love is always the solution. I am a sap in the way of still tearing up during every ceremony I photograph, even after ten years. I am a student in the way of continually educating myself, both in the world of photography and out. I am happily married and have spent my entire adult life with my husband. I am a big believer in love and marriage and the power of joining two souls together. We have 3 adorable monsters and I love experiencing life through my kids' eyes. My weeks are filled with dirty dishes, unmade beds, and let's be honest—not enough showers—but I wouldn't have it any other way. I hope to be a part of your life + your big day.
