Jamie & Tori

Jamie & Tori | Downtown Alexandria, Virginia Anniversary Photographer

Cannot believe it has already been a year since Jamie and Tori’s big day! When planning for their anniversary portraits, we decided to go to basically where it all started … in Downtown Alexandria. 🙂 There is so much character between the quaint homes to the cobble stone streets to the waterside. By the water is where Jamie asked for Tori’s hand in marriage. A good enough reason to have photos there as a great remembrance of that exciting time. We laughed together as Tori retold the story of Jamie proposing because she not only had the chance of being proposed to once, but twice by him since he had to fix up the ring! Haha! Our time reminded me of their fun engagement session, one I will never forget. 🙂 So thankful to have had the chance of meeting them two years ago (hard to believe?!)!

Thank you Jamie and Tori for yet another amazing time together! Enjoy some of my favorites from your anniversary portraits!!! xoxo!
