Couples Photography at the Canal Walk with Michelle and Stephen



I’m thrilled to share highlights from a couples photography session with the lovely Michelle and Stephen at the Canal Walk in Richmond. It’s easy to forget that our city boasts a beautiful canal, complete with gondola history tours that showcase Richmond’s rich heritage! 🚤


The Canal Walk is a well-known spot for walking, roller skating, biking, and that perfectly encapsulates the spirit of Richmond. The murals along the walk are nothing short of spectacular, in both color and content. Talented local artists create these vibrant works of art. Each one adds so much character and depth to the area, making it an ideal backdrop for photography. Each mural offers a glimpse into Richmond's diverse culture and history, providing a visually stunning setting that truly feels alive.


In addition to the murals, the bridges spanning the canal offer picturesque views that highlight the architectural beauty of Richmond. These spots are perfect for capturing those intimate, candid moments between couples.


Despite the scorching 100-degree weather, Michelle and Stephen were absolute champions. They cuddled up and shared so many sweet moments, creating beautiful memories that were a joy to capture. Their love and connection shone through even under the blazing sun. ☀️


A few tips for those planning a visit to the Canal Walk:

  • Parking: There are plenty of pay-to-park lots conveniently located close to the Canal Walk. If you don't mind a short walk, you can also find 2-hour parking spots a couple of blocks inward.

  • Stay Hydrated: Photographers and clients, always remember to bring plenty of water to hot or long sessions. It's crucial to stay hydrated, especially during these summer months. 💧

  • Comfortable Shoes: The canal walk is full of cobblestone streets, stairs, and patches of loose bricks. Tread carefully and opt for the comfy shoe.





Richmond’s Canal Walk is truly a photographer’s dream and a fantastic place for couples looking to capture their love against the backdrop of our vibrant city. If you’re interested in booking your own Canal Walk session, don’t hesitate to reach out. Let’s create some magic together! ✨
