Calli and James’ engagement session in Old Town Alexandria was one we had been eagerly anticipating for weeks. As their session date approached, we found ourselves closely monitoring the weather forecast. The conditions weren’t looking particularly promising, with overcast skies and rain threatening throughout the day. Thankfully, the weather cooperated, the rain held off, and we were able to enjoy a beautiful evening exploring the charming streets of Old Town Alexandria.

Like many modern love stories, Calli and James first met on Hinge. What began as a simple connection quickly grew into something special, and now these two are preparing for the adventure of a lifetime together.

When choosing a location for their engagement photos, Old Town Alexandria was the obvious choice. As local residents, they have created countless memories throughout the area. From strolling hand-in-hand along the historic streets to enjoying delicious meals at Mia’s Italian Kitchen, Old Town has become a meaningful part of their relationship. They wanted their engagement session to reflect the place that feels most like home.

One of Calli’s favorite features of Old Town Alexandria is its iconic cobblestone streets and timeless charm. Everywhere we turned, there was another picturesque corner filled with historic architecture, beautiful storefronts, and the sophisticated character that makes Old Town such a sought-after engagement session location. It was the perfect backdrop for capturing this exciting season of their lives.

The best part? This is only the beginning of their story. Next summer, Calli and James will exchange vows on a beautiful island in Greece, a destination that holds special significance because of Calli’s Greek heritage. What a meaningful way to begin their marriage and celebrate the legacy and culture that have shaped her family.
