I had an incredibly unique engagement session with Christen and Brent at Josephine in Alexandria! The restaurant was kind enough to let us in early before they opened, giving us the entire stunning space to ourselves. I started with some great shots through the front window and moved inside for adorable moments at the bar and in a cozy booth. The clear highlight, however, was the stunning room with the glass ceiling. The intricate metalwork created the most cool, graphic lines in the photos, making those shots the absolute best of the day. I wrapped up with a quick walk down to the water for some final images. What a fantastic and unforgettable day!
An indoor engagement session, especially at a location with such beautiful design, offers an incredibly sophisticated and intimate feel. Having private access to Josephine allowed me to use the stunning architecture as a focal point without any distractions. The dark wood, chic lighting, and sleek bar created a sense of moody elegance that perfectly suited Christen and Brent’s style. Don’t be afraid to think outside the box; a stylish restaurant or unique venue can make for truly memorable photos!
The glass-ceiling room was truly a photographic gem. The natural light streaming through the metal grid created dramatic shadows and leading lines that added a modern, graphic element to the portraits. Seeing Christen and Brent so comfortable and joyful in this beautiful setting was wonderful. This session provided the perfect mix of high-end style inside and a classic Alexandria waterfront vibe outside. I can’t wait to capture their incredible style again on their wedding day!
