If you just got engaged you’re probably wondering where you should take your Engagement photos. I can help you there- Old Town Alexandria is the perfect spot! It has pretty much everything you can hope for. Cobblestone streets, pretty walls and murals for backdrops and a gorgeous waterfront view. Plus, if you plan for an evening shoot you can stand on the piers, overlooking the waterfront as the sun sets.. it’s just so pretty! Plan for the winter time and you’ll get all the lovely lights trickling down the sidewalks in the background. Basically an Old Town Alexandria Engagement Session ticks all the boxes.

Denise and Phil met me right outside the Torpedo Factory with both of their adorable puppies. (By the way – have I mentioned I LOVE working with dogs?!? Check out these posts for more inspo!) We spent a while wandering around the sites streets and letting the dogs get little pets from each passerby. We laughed, talked about their wedding plans and played with the dogs. It was a perfect evening, and when lights came on in all the trees as the sun began to set we could be seen standing in the middle of a side street jumping in and out of the road to get some great shots. Be sure to scroll to the bottom to see how gorgeous the lights wrapped trees in Old Town Alexandria are during the winter!
