About Us
Our Story
Ran and Linda Henry live atop Afton Mountain, bringing the romance of the Blue Ridge to your wedding no matter where you wed. For nineteen years we have offered Wedding and Event Photography, custom videography and unique Dee Jay Entertainment to brides and grooms tying the knot in the wedding mecca of Charlottesville, creating and capturing wedding memories as a couple. We enjoy helping you plan your big day, with a musical menu and timeline full of photo opportunities that's perfect for you two. Author and University of Virginia Professor Ran Henry and premier photographer and visual editor Linda Henry delight in celebrating and capturing your most magical moments, on the wedding day you envision.
Photography
We offer premium wedding and event photography as a couple, sharing the eyes, lenses and experience of a husband and wife. Linda Henry is the lead photographer, Ran Henry the photojournalist, capturing every highlight of your day, portraiture you'll treasure and those candid shots that tell a story.
What makes a pair of photographers perfect for documenting your wedding day, beyond technical skills and artistic vision? Our hearts are in our work, and partnership. We’ve photographed thousands of weddings and momentous events in South Florida and Central Virginia over the last two decades, preserving magical moments for all time. Our work has been featured in The Miami Herald Sunday Magazine, the St. Petersburg Times, the Daily Progress and News Virginian, and websites of premier wedding venues around the Blue Ridge.
We shoot in tandem and counterpoint, using Canon 5D cameras and legendary L-series lenses for truly beautiful images. You’ll receive a diverse, fully-edited photo collection (a rarity, these days) on our private online gallery, with rights to all images. Prints and albums are available in our packages, and ala carte.
We are most familiar with Charlottesville’s premier wedding venues and will meet you at yours, to talk through photo locations and ever other aspect of your day. Experienced wedding planners, we can help shape a timeline maximizing every moment you celebrate with friends, family and one another while capturing all the memories that grace a marriage.
Linda Henry alone gives you the pictures and portraits you are looking for. Our work together showcases the myriad bonds between family, friends and newlyweds. We also work together to create artful engagement and bridal portraits, believing two photographers produce more smiles.

Videography
Love stories portray moments that matter. Re-living those meaningful moments is priceless, making an HD documentary film of your wedding day the ultimate keepsake for you and your progeny.
We practice an intricate, creative art with heart, producing a moving picture bringing your day back to life, along with everyone taking part. The gestures, inflections and expressions of love you all exchange, and those serendipitous scenes you remember every anniversary, live forever in your living room, along with the cast of characters who celebrate with you. Some send wacky, wistful, moving messages, aglow from seeing you married, speaking to you across the years.
Couples tell us they see many details of their wedding day for the first time onscreen -- that need not be missed. We capture those once-in-a-lifetime moments in High Definition with Canon cinema-quality cameras, and L-series lenses. Our storytelling skills, unobtrusive manner and the finest lenses on earth bring out the natural beauty, with and warmth in everyone -- no extra lighting needed. A single candle illuminates the scene.
We love capturing wedding memories as a couple, instinctively filming what the other isn’t, collaborating at weddings and one-of-a-kind events for decades. We charge by the day rather than the hour, ensuring your love story has an opening and ending image.
What would you give to see your parents’ wedding day, or the day your grandparents pledged their troth, from the front row? Capturing the unmissable looks, words, smooches and loving glow of the day that made you two one will surely brighten the days that follow.
