    "Wildhare Media was a wonderful partner during the development of our Mon Forest Towns regional asset library. While the project spanned several months across dozens of locations throughout our 8 counties, Wildhare brought the same level of dedication and experience to each photoshoot, helping our communities put their best foot forward. They [Wildhare] also did an excellent job with our models- balancing when to pose, when to capture natural moments, and when to give our younger talent a break.”

    "Basically all my favorite photos are taken by Kurt. He always manages to get the shot, even when my three kids aren’t cooperating. It’s always such a treat looking over our photos seeing what magic he managed to capture while riding. He is our only photographer now."

     "Simply authentic!   Kurt went above and beyond to capture our precious moment in time.  He scouted out a special route of perfect landscapes prior to the wedding, this made the  experience seamless and relaxed."

     "Kurt shot the photos for my wedding & I absolutely loved them! He was so flexible & most importantly, stuck around to be sure he caught every moment from beginning to end. 

    My favorite thing about Kurt’s photos are how natural, yet, professional they are!

    100% would recommend Kurt for any photography needs!"

    About Wildhare Media

    Kurt Schachner, CPP

    Certified Professional Photographer · Videographer · FAA Part 107 Drone Pilot

     

    Kurt is a Pittsburgh-area native who discovered the West Virginia mountains and decided that was that. He's been based in Pocahontas County for over a decade, spending most of those years as the Marketing Digital Media Producer at Snowshoe Mountain Resort. 


    His work has appeared on the covers of Highland Outdoors and Blue Ridge Outdoors and in Freehub Magazine's West Virginia Trails edition.


    That combination — insider access, mountain fluency, and a CPP credential held by fewer than 30,000 photographers worldwide — is what Wildhare Media is built on. Kurt shoots commercial campaigns, action sports, tourism content, real estate, weddings, and portraits. If it happens in the WV mountains, he knows how to shoot it.


    What keeps him behind the camera is simpler than any credential: photography connects people to places in a way nothing else does. Whether it's a brand campaign, a wedding, or a family portrait against a mountain backdrop, Kurt's goal is the same — make something that still means something years from now.

    Kurt Schachner CPP — Certified Professional Photographer credential issued by the Professional Photo
