Virginia Beach, VA Wedding Photographer & Videographer

Live oaks, coastal verandas, and golden evenings — Virginia Beach weddings are made for film.

Wedding photographers & videographers in Virginia Beach

The Southeast gives Virginia Beach weddings that unmistakable warmth — Spanish moss, porch light, humidity that turns sunset into a glow. We time portraits for the golden window and keep gear (and boutonnieres) cool in between.

Elizabeth Scott is a national studio: senior photographers and filmmakers, travel already included, and a calendar kept deliberately small so every wedding gets a first-team crew. If we haven’t worked your exact venue yet, we scout it before your day — light, timing, logistics — so nothing about Virginia Beach surprises us on the morning of.

The light in Virginia Beach

Ceremony time decides how your photographs look, and the answer is different in Virginia Beach than it is three states over. In June the sun sets here at 8:25 PM and golden hour opens around 7:46 PM; by October sunset has slid back to 6:27 PM — a swing of 1 hour 58 minutes across one wedding season. Start a Virginia Beach ceremony at roughly the times below and you will finish vows, family formals, and portraits with the good light still in front of you rather than behind you.

Where couples marry in Virginia Beach

These are the Virginia Beach venues couples ask us about most. We have not shot every one of them — nobody has — so when a venue is new to us we scout it before your date: light through the ceremony hour, where formals hold up, how long the walk from getting-ready to first look actually takes.

Questions couples in Virginia Beach ask us

Do you charge a travel fee for weddings in Virginia Beach, VA?

No. Elizabeth Scott is a national studio and travel is built into every collection, so a Virginia Beach wedding costs the same as one across the street from us.

Do you offer wedding videography in Virginia Beach as well as photography?

Yes. Every collection is available as photography, film, or both from one senior team. Combined coverage starts at $3,000 and gives you a single timeline instead of two vendors negotiating for the same light.

Have you photographed weddings in Virginia Beach before?

Not every venue in Virginia Beach, and we say so. When a venue is new to us we scout it before your date: ceremony light, where formals hold up, how long the walk between spaces really takes.

Timeless, true-to-color imagery — several hundred edited photos per wedding.

Films

Story-first edits built from your real audio — vows, letters, laughter.

Combined

One team for both — the best value and the smoothest timeline.
