"Photography started as a way to heal. Now it's how I help others preserve what matters most."
— Sean Thurston, Photographer
The Photographer
I grew up in Covington, Virginia, joined the U.S. Air Force at eighteen, and ended up at Rhein Main Air Base in Germany — where I met my wife, Oddette.
A back injury ended my military career. A camera Oddette gave me in 2007 started a new one. Today I photograph weddings and portraits across the Shenandoah Valley with the same intention I've had since the beginning: be present, earn trust, make photos that last.
