Virginia Portrait & Wedding Photography

This gorgeous location — full of winding paths, blooming gardens, and peaceful open fields — is one of my favorite spots for engagement photos in Northern Virginia.

It was an unusually warm November day — nearly 70 degrees, with a perfect mix of sunshine and clouds — and we were treated to one last touch of fall color before the season fades completely.

The Shenandoah Valley showed off with the most vibrant fall backdrop, and the mountains in the distance framed this wedding day beautifully.

There’s always a little bit of anticipation leading up to a mountain session—especially when the forecast calls for rain all day. For R + T’s engagement session, we almost decided to postpone, but I’m so glad we didn’t. By the time we met at an overlook in Shenandoah National Park, the skies had cleared, the sun was shining, and the Blue Ridge Mountains gave us the most beautiful backdrop.

The Shenandoah Valley is full of beautiful spots, and Harrisonburg has so many hidden gems for portraits. Whether you’re planning family photos, senior portraits, or an engagement session, here are some of my favorite local locations that never disappoint.
