I love the Beckley area, and have shot landscapes here quite often. It's one of the most beautiful areas in our country and I'd love to share it with you. We will visit the famous New River Gorge Bridge, where we will incorporate this bridge into different aspects of our landscapes. We will visit multiple different waterfalls and experience amazing views of the gorge from both the top and down bottom. I'll be there every step of the way to help you get the best shots, the right camera settings and help with anything that you need. We will also travel and visit one of the most photographed items on the East Coast, the Grist Mill in Babcock State Park. I love this mill, and my photos of it are some of my most popular. It will be gorgeous at the time of year that we will be there. This will be an amazing weekend and we will have a blast. I cannot wait to show you what I love about the New River Gorge area! Come join me in November and let's have some fun and take some great photos.
