Williamsburg Photographer
Williamsburg is about an hour down I-64, and I'm there most springs for William & Mary graduation sessions at the Wren Building and the Sunken Garden, plus family sessions around Colonial Williamsburg.
No travel fee Colonial Williamsburg is about 46 miles from my base at 900 N. Allen Ave in a straight line, inside my 50-mile no-fee radius. Yorktown and points east are just outside it, so sessions there include travel costs agreed in advance.
Brick, boxwood and the Wren Building
William & Mary has one of the most photogenic campuses in the state: the Wren Building, the Sunken Garden and brick paths under old trees. Graduation sessions here are best on a weekday morning, booked earlier than you'd think; the weeks before commencement fill up.
Colonial Williamsburg next door gives family sessions a timeless backdrop, and Jamestown and the Colonial Parkway are a short drive away if you want water and open sky.

Duke of Gloucester Street Brick sidewalks, picket fences and period buildings. Colonial Williamsburg has its own photography rules, so we'll check them when we plan.

Is there a travel fee for Williamsburg?
No. Colonial Williamsburg is about 46 miles from my base at 900 N. Allen Ave in a straight line, inside my 50-mile no-fee radius. Yorktown and points east are just outside it, so sessions there include travel costs agreed in advance.
When should we book William & Mary graduation photos?
As early as you can. Late April and early May fill first, and campus is busiest the week of commencement. A weekday morning a few weeks ahead gets you the Wren Building and the Sunken Garden with far fewer people in the background.
