Bridal Photographer in Floyd, VA: Portraits You'll Treasure Forever
As your bridal photographer in Floyd, VA, I specialize in bridal portraits, solo sessions where it's just you, your dress, and a little quiet time before the rush of your wedding day begins. You'll walk away with relaxed, elegant photos that focus completely on you, not squeezed in around family formals or a packed wedding day timeline.
Choosing the Right Bridal Photographer in Floyd
If you're planning bridal portraits before your Floyd wedding, the photographer you choose should know how to work with a wedding dress outdoors, from managing a long train on uneven ground to using natural light that flatters the fabric and beading. I photograph bridal portraits on farms, in fields, and along the Blue Ridge Parkway regularly, so I know how to move around a dress confidently without slowing things down. Picking someone who already understands how to shoot a bride solo means a calmer session and portraits that actually look like you.
How do you pick a bridal photographer in Floyd, VA?
Here is what I would check before booking anyone:
Look for a consistent style across their bridal portrait work, not just a few standout shots.
Read recent reviews from real brides.
Confirm they are free on your date.
Meet in person or hop on a call to see if you connect.
Read the contract terms closely before signing.
Ask if there is a backup shooter in case of an emergency.
Confirm how long it takes to receive your photos.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes, and honestly — please ask! I love getting out and exploring new places. Whether you're getting married down the road or somewhere that requires a flight, reach out and I'll put together a travel quote for you. I’m always down for an adventure!
-
Always. Every wedding I photograph includes a second shooter — no exceptions. It is crucial for the important moments, like while I'm capturing you coming down the aisle, someone else is getting your partner's face in that moment too. Moments like this are why a second shooter is a must and included in every package. Ceremony and reception, covered from every angle, without anything slipping through the cracks.
-
Editing takes time, and rushing it isn't something I'm willing to do — that's where your photos go from good to wow. Turnaround for weddings is max 8 weeks, but I typically have them to you by 6! I will get you a decent chunk of sneak peeks within 2-3 days, so you don’t have to wait for the entire gallery to get done before you see some photos!
-
Absolutely. I'm always happy to break a wedding package into payments. Just reach out and we will map out a payment plan that fits your budget.
-
Packages 6hrs or more include a complimentary engagement session, timeline creation, a second shooter, private online gallery, and the engraved USB delivered in a keepsake box after the gallery is complete. Please note that opting out of any of these does not change the price of your package.

It is true that memory cards can sometimes corrupt, however I have never had it happen to me. I use only professional grade cameras that have dual memory card slots. This ensures every photo I take is backed up to another card as soon as I take it. This method, paired with always having a second shooter who has the same type of dual memory equipment, is how I’ve ensured no couple has every lost their gallery in my 10 years as a photographer.
