Happy Finch Photography is a seasoned wedding photographer operating out of Fishersville, Virginia.

Joyful, vibrant, and timeless! Happy Finch Photography is a perfect fit for couples who want warm, friendly collaboration and a wedding collection that conveys every tender emotion and gorgeous detail cleanly and colorfully.

I aim to capture the true spirit of a wedding day and how it felt as you and your partner celebrated the first day of your marriage. So much more than just point-and-capture, I compose images that will bring the day's joy, romance, and humor rushing back to mind. Vibrant colors, radiant light, beautiful scenery, and – of course! – effervescent newlyweds are my favorite subjects, and I take pride in capturing all of them creatively and authentically.

Style & Approach
I give every couple great attention to detail and ensure our plans are well-coordinated before the wedding. On the big day, I always arrive early and well-prepared to capture the moments that are most important to you. Behind the scenes, I offer constructive posing suggestions and group instructions when appropriate, remaining unobtrusive during the ceremony and other key moments. (I have found this hybrid of fine art photography and photojournalism to be an ideal approach for weddings.) After the wedding, I spend considerable time retouching your images until they are perfect. Your final collection will have a balanced mix of candid and formal images suited to the unfolding parts of your day and guided by the preferences you've shared with me.

Your final images will look bright, crisp, and natural. My goal is to edit your photos in a way that will never go out of style, allowing you to remember the color and lighting as they really were, as they were written in your mind's eye.
