I love it when couples feel totally comfortable to be themselves while we’re on a shoot. For some people that means formal photos in DC, for others it’s a small town Virginia engagement kind of vibe. Virginia & Eli were the latter. Chill, fun, relaxed and totally loving this sweet little town. Plus they had one of the cutest dogs ever! Dogs at photo sessions are a personal fav of mine. I have a giant dog myself, so I’m always happy when couples want feature their pups in their Engagement Sessions too!
We did their Engagement Session in Purcellville, just a bit west of DC and full of those rural old town features. We walked around the old historic town and explored all the places they would someday visit as a married couple. Their session turned out to be one of the most beautiful and sweet summer sessions I’ve ever done. Take a look through and start planning your Photo Session today!
Looking for some ideas for own small town Virginia Engagement Session? There a few small towns in the area that I absolutely love! Take a look at Clifton, Middleburg, Old Town Alexandria, Leesburg, Culpepper, Great Falls or Occoquan. A little bit of historic architecture, combined with cute parks, small streets and fun stops along the way! Whether you book in the spring to take advantage of flowering gardens, or rely on the warmth and greenery of summer, you’ll love your session.
