As a wedding photographer, this place has quickly become a local favorite to photograph couples and their family's celebrations. Being quite a large space, it is outfitted to accommodate bigger events while maintaining its unique qualities. We were so impressed with their willingness to work with the entire vendor team and also offering a great variety of locations for photography.

The building is closed but you can enjoy the outside exhibits. The is a working water wheel, two different canons, and a large anchor. The architecture of the brick buildings on the block are beautiful! The pedestrian bridge over the James River is just 50 yards away.

As a professional photographer, Tredegar Iron Works is a favorite spot for photo sessions. So many interesting angles, textures and scenery to incorporate into the portraits.

It was DEFINITELY worth the trip!! Amazing how it survived. It's gut-wrenching to see the sadness of war yet it IS part of our history & SHOULD be preserved along w/ALL Monuments!! The staff are wonderful also.

Beautiful place!!! So much history in every corner and the artifacts are awesome. If you're looking to learn lots and lots about the battles and historical places, find Bob Talbot. He's a gentleman who volunteers there and he has so much knowledge and is a great story teller. Will be coming back!!!!
