Midlothian, Virginia

Midlothian Photographer

Midlothian is home to The Boathouse at Sunday Park, a lakeside venue on the Swift Creek Reservoir where I've photographed a few weddings, and to plenty of families who would rather keep a session close to home. It's about half an hour from my Richmond base.

No travel fee Brandermill is about 13 miles from my base at 900 N. Allen Ave in a straight line, inside my 50-mile no-fee radius.

Photographing Midlothian

Lake light and room to roam

The reservoir is why couples choose Brandermill: open water, so the last hour before sunset does a lot of the work. My venue guide to The Boathouse at Sunday Park covers where the light falls and where the best portrait spots are.

For families, Midlothian's parks and quieter streets make it easy to stay near home, which helps a lot with toddlers.

Spots worth considering

Sunday Park Lawns and water views beside the Boathouse, worth a look even if you're not getting married there.

Robious Landing Park Trails and a boat landing on the James, for river light without driving into the city.

Mid-Lothian Mines Park Walking paths and woods around the old coal-mining site.
