About
Hi there, I'm Audra. I'm a fine art destination wedding and boudoir photographer based in Charlottesville, Virginia who has the honor of documenting the poetry of life all around the world.
As your photographer, I want to connect with you, learn your story, and then tell the world about it through my lens. I treat my photos like little poems — I hope that each one brings you joy or makes you stop for just a little while and marvel at the fiercely imperfect magic of love and life.
My approach combines both naturally posed and candid images to create images that are luminous, romantic, and soft, and, although I primarily shoot on digital, I do incorporate film into my work. My editing style is timeless and aims to recreate the soft, creamy tones of classic film.
I am known for soft, delicate portraiture that showcase the romance between my couples, capturing quiet, tucked away moments that overflow with emotion, and artful veil and hand images that play with texture and light.
Beyond the camera, I am there for all my couples as they plan to answer questions and share my expertise as a former weddings editor for online wedding planning publications like Zola, Borrowed & Blue, and Oh-Brides Magazine.

You know those people who are just MEANT to be in their chosen career? This is Audra. She is an exceptionally talented photographer with a creative mind that always seems to be buzzing with a new idea. Her work is breathtaking and I was speechless when I received my gallery from my shoot with her. One of the reasons she is so good at her work is because she is easy to feel comfortable with. Her personality is kind, open, and genuine and she exudes excitement and passion for the work she does, which is entirely contagious. More importantly, she is respectful and honors her clients - body, spirit, and vulnerability, which immediately puts you at ease. Whether you are looking for boudoir, wedding, or other photography, Audra is your person. I would do photoshoots with her everyday if I could!

When I tell you I basically picked our wedding day based on when Audra was available…

Hiring Audra was one of the best decisions we made in planning our wedding! First of all, she is so sweet, warm, and a pleasure to be around which is important because she will be with you all day on one of the most important days of your life. Her presence truly added to the fun and excitement of the day. My husband and I had never had any professional photography taken of us prior to our engagement and wedding. She has such a great vision and had us feeling so comfortable so quickly. Second, she is unbelievably professional and adept at organizing large bridal parties and families into capturing such special moments. Multiple of my family and bridal party members made it a point to let me know how wonderful Audra and her team were. Next, Audra is incredibly responsive and timely. I got a large number of amazing wedding photography sneak peaks the day after my wedding and she also put together our photos from our engagement session much ahead of schedule. It's the most wonderful feeli
