I am just so excited to share this shoot!! Alicia first met me when I was shooting Sam & Angela’s Stone Tower Winery wedding way back in 2015… when Stone Tower was just a tiny little rustic barn of a winery!! (I showed up to shoot a wedding there two and a half years later and went to the totally wrong building because I had NO idea how much things have grown there…!) I love that Alicia remembered me all these years later when it came time for her to start planning her own wedding… can you believe that?! Honestly the biggest compliment. Her words about my work were so kind when she reached out to me. So much has changed since 2015… I’m married, Sam & Angela have two cute little babes… and now Alicia & David are about to tie the knot later this Fall! How amazing that I get to capture her wedding day after we first met nearly FOUR years ago. How time flies!!
Date Themed Old Town Alexandria Engagement Session
As you can see from these first few photos… these two are SO in love. It was so much fun to hang out with them and to take their engagement pictures! We had warm weather, sunshine, and just the tiniest little bit of blossoms poking through the trees. It was just enough to add a springtime feel to their session! Just wait until you see the giant tree we stopped under on the sidewalk… Old Town Alexandria is so charming!
Alicia let me know that she and David love bridges, benches, and water. Come to find out, their first date had to do with all three of these things! We actually revisited the spot where they shared their first kiss and it could not have been anymore perfect or romantic. These two are so sweet! Their joy to be getting married is evident in every one of these photos and they both have the most contagious smiles. I seriously can’t wait for their wedding day!!
This date themed Old Town Alexandria engagement session has now become one of my favorites. I love the shots at Pop’s Ice Cream Shop towards the end of this shoot. So much fun!! Alicia and David, you two belong in a magazine! Thank you so much for being so amazing and such a blast to photograph. I hope you love these photos as much as I do!! Can’t wait to see you in November!!
