Old Town Alexandria Engagement Session: Alyssa & Derek

Alyssa and Derek’s spring Old Town Alexandria engagement session is filled with sunshine and multiple beautiful locations. We met up at Starbucks before strolling around the quaint neighborhoods that they spent so much time visiting. From the ivy-filled brick walls, to the adorable colorful homes, from a stunning evening on the water, to the romantic little garden filled with wild blooms. Every location was so pretty and we just let love shine. Alyssa and Derek are absolute naturals in front of the camera. And what I love most is that with a little guidance, they went for it. They embraced, laughed, snuggled, and strolled in a location that felt so natural to them. All of these are important elements for a successful and beautiful engagement session.

If you love their engagement session, you’re going to love their wedding! A modern garden affair just down the road from where their spring Old Town Alexandria engagement session took place. While most couples opt for varying locations, Alyssa and Derek’s love for Alexandria fit them very well!

Congratulations Alyssa & Derek!
