Wedding Photographers for Gloucester County, VA

Here are a number of links for photographers for weddings. Before I post the links, I'll just point out that there is a search engine at the top of this site where you can look up anything you think you might want to find around Gloucester. If I have already posted it, the search engine results will pull up that specific post for you.

I have no idea if Steven Stepp Jr is still in the business. There was a web site listed but when we went to go onto the site, the report came back that nothing was found.

Billboard Sign, Gloucester Point, VA

Sweet Madeleine's Restuarant and Catering, Gloucester Point VA



No web site found. We have no experience eating at this establishment but word has it that they are good. I found a link to a third party site with a bit of information so here is the link. Sweet Madeleine's.

Tidemill Center, Gloucester Point, VA



This used to be a nice little shopping center. Now it's well, barely there. I remember there used to be a great feed and seed store there. I don't know how most if any of the shops are making it here. But if anyone has a bunch of extra cash and want to make an investment, here is a fixer upper that is for sale, at least according to the real estate sign anyway.

I would gamble a restaurant where the old feed and seed store was as it is big enough, but you are looking at some serious renovations. In 5 years from now when the county grows more, then this site should be worth renovating. Until then, ugly duckling is the word of the day.

Trailer World, Chesapeake Bay Nauticals Gift Shop, Gloucester Point VA




Trailer World is the official name of this business, at least according to their web site. What gets my attention is the Amish furniture. We used to live in Lancaster, PA and bought several pieces of Amish Hand Made furniture. This type of furniture is made to last a lifetime and more.

This site used to be an automotive parts store. When the competition moved in though, there was no way to compete. We have no idea if this is the same owner as the one who had the shop when it was the auto parts store. Either way, check out the web site for them here. Trailer World.

Whitley's VA Peanuts, Gloucester Point, VA



Here is the link to Whitley's VA Peanuts. This is a nice store. Great Virginia Peanuts and other gifts. In the event you have never had true Virginia Peanuts, they are much bigger than the stand nuts you get from Planter's nuts or any of the other companies that produce bulk products.

These nuts may be more expensive, but if you are a peanut fan, once you try them you will know why they cost more. They are worth the price. You can order on line if you do not live in this area, otherwise, just stop into the store and get a batch.

EVB Bank, Gloucester Point, VA



Here is the link to EVB Bank. I have never dealt with this bank so about the only comment I can make is that we appreciate the sign outside that gives us the time and temperature. We appreciate it even more when the temperature readings are correct.

Tillage Automotive, Gloucester Point VA



Tillage Automotive located at 1925 George Washington Memorial Hwy, (Route 17), Gloucester Point, VA. Phone number is 804-642-1814.

I met one of the owners a few years back while we were looking for a nice used vehicle. He offered us a more than fair deal on a vehicle that just came in. It wasn't tested or checked by them so it was an as is deal. The vehicle had a few more problems than I cared to work with, so we passed. But again, the offer was more than fair, so I have to give good ratings here. There is no web site, so there is no link to post.
