Looking for that perfect place for engagement, wedding, or senior portraits – or maybe for a perfect selfie? West Virginia has some great places that are perfect for photography. Here are just a few of them:
- The New River Gorge
Stephen Weppler/Flickr The New River Gorge Bridge is one of the most photographed places in the state, but there are plenty of photo-worthy spots throughout the gorge, including Beauty Mountain, Long Point Trial and the Endless Wall trail. This is the view from a nearby overlook at the bridge (taking all those stairs to get to it is totally worth it).
- Coopers Rock State Forest
