An engagement session in Old Town Alexandria has been on my photography bucket list from the moment I first stepped into its quaint little shops and rode a trolley down King Street, so when I chatted with Jessica about meeting her there, I was beyond excited. And nothing about the city disappointed! From brick-lined architecture to the incredible Wilkes Tunnel and the sun setting over the Potomac River, each part of the area was more beautiful than the last.

Ryan and Jessica share a love for traveling the world and have big plans to honeymoon in Portugal on their next big adventure. They fell in love strolling the streets of Alexandria, visiting eclectic restaurants, and spending time with each other through the years. With a wedding in front of them coming this fall and a future that is just starting to show its promise, the bond between them was a beautiful thing to see...
