The Virginia Military Institute chapel is a favorite and sacred space for Senior Cadets. Escaping to the quiet and yet historic walls of the chapel provides rest and inspiration, particularly during a VMI cadet's Rat year. The backdrop to the chancel is a breathtaking, artistic depiction of the Battle of New Market (where for the first and last time, in American history, college students entered the field of battle). Light filtering in from picturesque windows inspires beautiful portraits of senior military cadets at VMI. Cadet Portraits is the #1 portrait photographer in Virginia.
