Old Town Alexandria Sunrise Engagement

Sep 4, 2015

Old Town Alexandria, VA is one of those places that you can photograph a session in time and time again and they always look different — it reminds me of Georgetown or downtown Washington, DC; all places where the shooting possibilities are endless! For me, I love shooting at both new and old locations. Old locations or places I have shot a lot, in particular, can actually be more of a challenge because you are constantly trying to find new nooks or slices of light that you haven’t shot before. After all, I don’t want every session to look exactly the same! 

So take a familiar location like Old Town and add in a super sweet couple and one absolutely adorable bulldog on a beautiful summer day and you pretty much have a photographer’s dream scenario! That’s how lucky I was this past weekend at Ashley & Bryan’s sunrise engagement session. It was one of those cool mornings where you can tell fall is just around the corner and the sun breaks perfectly over the horizon. They were incredibly sweet throughout the entire session to allow me to take them to spot after spot, chasing that stunning morning light. I think you’ll agree after seeing the images below that it was totally worth as we had one of the prettiest mornings to date! 

Bryan proposed to Ashley last Memorial Day during an annual BBQ celebrating the end of an era at Ashley’s old apartment. It was a total surprise — even to the guests of the party — when he got down on one knee and popped the question! So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that they are excited to celebrate their wedding day with friends and family this October at the Long View Gallery in DC. I got filled in on all the wedding day details first hand and know it’s going to be a super fun affair — now I just can’t wait for the big day!
