A Spring Engagement Session at Claude Moore Park in Sterling, Virginia

How the heck did I get so lucky that Claude Moore Park is only 5 minutes away from my house?! Seriously it is one of the best locations for engagement photos in Loudoun County and it is almost literally in my backyard. Claude Moore Park is in Sterling, Virginia. This park is 357 acres and has 11 miles of hiking trails, two fishing ponds, beautiful open fields, a barn, wooded lanes and picnic pavilions which provide a serious amount of variety backdrop wise for photographs (one of the reasons that I love it so much for photos!). When recommending locations to my couples for engagement sessions, I like to go with spots that have lots of different backdrops for photos. I go out of my way to make sure to give photos back to my clients in their final galleries that have lots of variety and in this case Claude Moore made super easy for me.

Now for a little about my couple. Jessica and Addison just got engaged this January and snagged a wedding date for this fall! They met in college a few years ago at James Madison University. For their engagement session, we all lucked out with absolutely beautiful spring weather and we picked the perfect week to shoot their photos because the grass had just transitioned from brown to green and everything was in bloom. We had a wonderful time exploring the park and capturing their engagement photos. Also, this was the first time these two ever had professional photos taken but seriously you won’t believe that when you scroll through their photos. Seriously, they looked like pros and I just can’t wait to see how magical their wedding photos are going to turn out.

Congratulations to my new friends Jessica and Addison on their engagement! I am so excited for them to get married this October at Gordon Springs in Purcellville, Virginia.
