Andrew E. Woods Photography

I am a photographer based in Virginia Beach. For nine years, I coached a US Olympic Team and saw many remarkable feats and places. My love for capturing those moments bred my passion for photography and sharing it with others. Photography has dared me to confront the world in a much different way and helped me enjoy my surroundings, cope with my fears, and ease (a little) my social awkwardness.

Weddings are a vibrant culmination of so many phases of life. But not just your life, the lives of your families and friends and guests. Finding how to capture that for each person's wedding is the challenge that has drawn me to wedding photography. It's not just ensuring that people are comfortable in front of my camera, but it's the times when you don't even know the camera is there and you're sharing the occasion with the people around you. Photography shouldn't be a duty to perform on your wedding day, but a way to preserve the memories for life.
