Old Town Alexandria is one of THE most charming locations for an engagement shoot imaginable. Its cobblestone streets, quiet gardens, picturesque alleys, and waterfront views are an absolute dream. For Alexa and Neal, who live in the area, this location was a no-brainer!
We started our session in the gardens of the Carlyle House, an adorable 18th century manor house with the cutest blue door.

We then wandered the historic streets of Old Town Alexandria, and we stopped to capture the beautiful ivy-lined walls and alleys along the way. By the way, don’t you just LOVE Alexa’s mauve silk skirt??

Next was the well-known Captain’s Row. This section of Prince Street is what cobblestone dreams are made of!

Finally, we walked along the waterfront, just as the sky turned a lovely cotton-candy pink. A truly gorgeous destination session, with two wonderful people! Congratulations Alexa and Neal!!
