SENIOR PHOTO LOCATIONS OF WEST VIRGINIA
THOMAS, WV & FRED LONG CENTENNIAL PARK
Adventure Session - $75 Travel Fee
A bit out of the way, but one of the best locations in all of West Virginia. This location features just about everything you'd want in a photo shoot. It has a beautiful downtown area, waterfalls, flower fields, and mountain views that are absolutely breathtaking.
DOLLY SODS
Adventure Session - $75 Travel Fee
I would describe Dolly Sods as being one of the most unique places in West Virginia. It's not easy to get to. But, you get a lot out of the trip. It has amazing mountaintop views, rock formations, and colorful plants.
DOWNTOWN CLARKSBURG, WV
No Travel Fee
This location has a very urban feel to it. If you go to the old Glen Elk section it has a lot of unique areas that make for outstanding textured photos. There is small sections that add some greenery also to your photos if you want both a nature and city look and feel. Also, PERFECT during Late March/Early April because of cherry blossoms that bloom around town! The Historic Morris building can also be rented by the hour if you want to have part of your shoot indoors!
DOWNTOWN BRIDGEPORT, WV
No Travel Fee
My two go to areas for downtown Bridgeport are the wall mural beside Almost Heaven Desert and the exterior of First United Methodist Church. For swimmers, the Bridgeport City Pool is an excellent option for swim photos!
HINKLE & DEGAN LAKE - BRIDGEPORT
No Travel Fee
One of the most picturesque areas around Bridgeport! It is especially amazing in the fall. Also features a small waterfall and creek.
CHARLES POINTE - BRIDGEPORT, WV
A lot of undeveloped land can end up becoming a field thats great for photos. Charles Pointe sits up high and has great views of West Virginia hills in the background. As of now, it's a great location to use for the end of a session near sunset.
ORAL LAKE - BRIDGEPORT, WV
Through the lens, Oral Lake in Bridgeport, WV becomes a symphony of light, shadow, and reflection. The still water mirrors the lush canopy of trees, their deep greens softly illuminated by the early morning sun—flecks of golden light dancing across lily pads and the rippling surface. Early morning mist hovers thinly above the water, blurring edges and lending a dreamlike, painterly quality to the scene. Nearby, you can find a beautiful large field that is amazing during golden hour.
The 4T Arena in Bridgeport, WV is a dream location for photo sessions with its warm rustic charm, high wood-beamed ceilings, and glowing string lights. Its surrounding open fields and scenic countryside offer stunning natural backdrops just steps from the main venue. With both indoor elegance and outdoor beauty, it provides incredible variety and ease for capturing unforgettable portraits.
