Aaron Watson Photography

Aaron’s photos aren’t just any pictures- they’re works of art. We choose Aaron and Lisa because we liked their style- their photography is colorful, vibrant, realistic, and timeless. No “Instagram filter” looking photos here! The AWP team even has a drone which they use to take unique landscape portraits.
Aaron and Lisa are friendly, professional, responsive, and great at making couples feel relaxed in front of the camera. We definitely recommend hiring Aaron for your wedding day.
We never thought it would rain on our wedding day, but our photos still turned out amazingly colorful and

Working with Aaron was an absolutely phenomenal experience. When I first started looking into wedding photographers, his photos stood out to me immediately because of their vibrant colors, and his spectacular sunset, nighttime, and fireworks photography. I was so pleased when I learned that he was available for our event date. Aaron was so well-organized and such a delight to work with. He has a great personality, and was spectacular at putting us at ease on our wedding day (and helping to keep us organized, too!). By the end of our wedding day, he practically felt like family, and everyone loved

Aaron and his wife Lisa were absolutely wonderful. Aaron is meticulous when it comes to getting the details right and wanting to fully understand each couple in advance of their wedding day. He also works wonderfully with the other vendors we had in Charlottesville - and every time we told someone he was our photographer, they would say without hesitation "Aaron is the best!", which speaks volumes to how great he is. He and Lisa captured absolutely stunning photos for our wedding at King Family Vineyards and we would highly recommend his team to anyone.

We couldn’t have asked for a better team than Aaron and Lisa. Our pictures turned out GORGEOUS! Aaron was a pro at keeping our schedule on track. He is so nice and very easy to work with. Do not hesitate to book him for your special event. The pictures from our wedding day couldn’t have been better.

We originally signed up for a mini-session with baby chicks with Aaron and had to reschedule due to COVID last spring. He kindly did a full session for us with our our recently adopted beagle later in the summer. We had to reschedule twice due to illness and weather, and Aaron was extremely kind and flexible. He worked so well with our pup on a really hot day and we got some beautiful photos! The frame and prints are also really high quality. I highly recommend working with Aaron!

Aaron has photographed our family twice during our short stay in Charlottesville. He is an excellent photographer, very professional, and the images he captured are nothing short of amazing! Being a family that has to move often, I wanted someone that could capture the beauty of the landscape in Virginia, as well as capture my family’s personality. He did just that! I also had a very active toddler and a child with special needs and he was great with both of my kids. I’m thankful to have these beautiful images to look back on our time in Virginia. I highly recommend him!

Hiring Aaron to photograph our wedding was one of the best decisions we've ever made! From our very first call, I knew that I wanted to work with Aaron. He was incredibly organized and enjoyable to work with. We used him for our engagement photos and he made that day so much fun, I couldn't wait for the wedding day! He asked all the right questions leading up to the wedding ensuring that we would get all the shots we wanted (which we did).
Day of, he moved things quickly, our wedding party or family never got tired and so many people said they had no idea he was even there during the reception

We hired Aaron Watson Photography to be our wedding photographer in Charlottesville, Virginia, for our April wedding. The wedding ceremony was held at the UVA Chapel and the reception was at the Darden School of Business.
Aaron and his team went above and beyond to capture our wedding day. Throughout the planning process, Aaron learned every detail of our wedding so that he could capture the aspects of the day that were important to us. From providing a comprehensive questionnaire to taking the time to talk through every detail leading up to our wedding, we never doubted that we were in good hands

Aaron was hired to take Senior pictures at the barn with my pony. The whole experience was fabulous. From start to finish, Aaron was very professional. He had so many great ideas. The final portraits are stunning! These are portraits that I will treasure for the rest of my life.
