Behind The Lens
INTRODUCING zoe mcbride
PHOTOGRAPHER, JESUS-FOLLOWER, AND GRILLED-CHEESE ENTHUSIAST OBSESSED WITH GOOD MUSIC, SPECTACULAR LIGHTING, AND OF COURSE, YOU.
At 8, I wanted to dig a hole to the center of the earth. At 13, I was dead set on becoming a programmer. At 14, I knew I wanted to be an engineer. At 16, I was certain I'd be a graphic designer.
Now, at 20, I'm a photographer.
I love a lot of things and have a lot of random non-related hobbies (rubiks cubes, swimming, and writing to name a few).
But most of all, I love getting to know people. But like, actually getting to know you. Yeah, your job is interesting, and its awesome to know which college you attended, but I want to know the real you. What are your hopes? Your dreams? What drives you? Who are you?
Every person has a story that is brilliantly wonderfully unique.
And brilliantly wonderful things deserve a good picture.
WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO:
I photograph weddings because I believe your love story deserves to be remembered with depth, emotion, and intentional beauty. My approach is centered on more than just pretty pictures—I want to create a space where you feel truly seen, supported, and celebrated from start to finish.
From the quiet in-between moments to the big, joy-filled celebrations, I’m drawn to capturing the realness of it all. I care deeply about making sure your photos reflect who you are—not just how things looked, but how they felt. That means guiding you when needed, stepping back when the moment speaks for itself, and always keeping your vision and values at the center.
I work with couples who value connection, authenticity, and storytelling—and who see photography as more than a checklist. I don’t take it lightly that you’re inviting me into one of the most meaningful days of your life. I consider it an honor every time.
Based in Virginia but happy to travel wherever your story leads, I bring both a calm presence and a thoughtful eye to each wedding I document. If you’re dreaming of a wedding gallery that feels elegant, honest, and entirely yours—I’d love to connect.
