Traveling to Richmond or looking for the best photo spots for your next photoshoot? Here are our most FAVORITE and (in our opinion) most photogenic locations used on The Crystal Press.
1 ~ Scott’s Addition – This is our #1 shoot location and has been since day one. Day one being when we bought our first DSLR camera with no idea how to use it. Peep this blogpost from 2015 with photos taken in Scott’s Addition….as embarrassing as it is, we had to start somewhere! We love to just wander around and start shooting when a location strikes our fancy.
2. Under Westwood Overpass – Our newest discovery near Catherine’s house is this spot underneath the Westwood Overpass. We love the moody vibes it brings out in photos!
Shop our favorite Anine Bing T-Shirts + One Teaspoon Denim:
See our full post on why we heart One Teaspoon denim so much here.
3. Monument Avenue 195 Overpass – This was one of the first places we took photos with Kaytee, almost 3 years ago! (See first photo below) These are still some of our favorite photos to date. Maybe because they’re nostalgic, but also because it is a favorite spot! We’ve also seen plenty of friends drive by while we are shooting here and give a good honk & jump. One of those moments captured below as well!
Richmond is ever changing and we have thoroughly enjoyed rediscovering the city as we have built The Crystal Press over the past *almost* 6 years. We are always looking for new photo locations around Richmond, so feel free to send us your tips and tricks fellow Richmonders.
With love as always,
Rebecca and Catherine

I feel like my picks for RVA shoots are ever-changing, but lately I’ve really liked The Fan and the little neighborhoods where you can find hidden gems of beautiful houses and trees in bloom. I know soon I’ll be back in Shockoe Bottom though because it’s my go-to in the autumn!
