Virginia

Virginia is for Lovers is about love – pure and simple. A place where southern hospitality meets small town charm and scenery to take your breath away. Virginia is where wineries flourish, music rings through the mountains, sunsets glisten just a little brighter and sand between your toes is a good thing.

The state has been for lovers since 1969 but not in the traditional sense of the word. Virginia's love is all about taking a vacation with those you love and doing the things that you love to do most together.

For Lomography fans, a visit to Virginia is about discovery. The state's got an old-school vibe with well-loved country stores, diners, drive-ins and soda fountains just waiting to be rediscovered. Photo-rich and close-up ready – destinations that are off the beaten path hold the most promise.

Beauty and authenticity line the Main Streets of Virginia's small towns. Quaint hotels run by kind folks wait to serve as home away from home for visitors from around the world. Cobble-stone streets tell the stories of Generals, Presidents and rock stars.

Stunning mountain vistas share space with coastal waterways. Each corner of the state is full of unexpected treasures that work their way into visitors' hearts and create a lifetime of great memories.

Unexpected love is perhaps the best kind. Come to Virginia to make your own discoveries. Bring your Lomography camera and when you see what you love – find it, shoot it and share it for the world to see.
