Are you on the hunt for an epic location in Northern Virginia for your engagement photos?
Well, you’re in luck! As someone who’s had the pleasure of capturing countless couples in love, I’ve scoped out some of the best locations that’ll add some welcomed scenery to your love story.
Let’s dive into some of my personal favorite locations for engagement photos in Northern Virginia!
Manassas Battlefield Park
While this list is in no particular order, this spot is easily one of my faves.
Imagine roaming through a field where history was made—sounds pretty epic, right?
I’m definitely no history buff but you don’t need an impressive GPA to know that Manassas Battlefield Park is a beautiful spot for engagement photos. It’s got wide-open fields and multiple sub-locations to switch up the look and feel of your engagement photos.
I highly recommend this spot for couples who vibe with nature and want a scenic backdrop for their photos.
Pro tip: Golden hour here is unreal.
Old Town Alexandria
If you’re looking for a location with a bunch of variety and downtown/urban vibes, Old Town Alexandria might just be the spot for you!
This place screams personality. With cobblestone streets, a Potomac waterfront, and cozy alleyways available, there’s definitely no shortage of photo opportunities.
Old Town Alexandria engagement phots are an ideal spot for couples who love a mix of urban charm and waterfront serenity.
Due to the popular nature of this location, I definitely recommend scheduling your engagement session in the morning to avoid large crowds.
George Washington Masonic National Memorial
That’s a mouthful. However, don’t be discouraged by the long name. The grandeur of this location speaks for itself.
You’ll feel like an ant standing before this monumental architecture. It definitely adds a ‘wow’ factor for couples who want to add a touch of elegance to their engagement photos.
This location also offers tons of greenery for more photo diversity.
I recommend this location for couples who want a Washington DC vibe without the Washington DC parking and permit hassle.
